Q: Why is Joe attacked earlier in the movie You were never really here?

In the movie, You were never really here. Joe walks out the back door of an establishment, sees a few dead pigeons, walks for a few steps more and gets attacked by an unknown person in a dark valley. Joe counter-attacks and beats his assailant down before walking away. I watched this scene a...

plot-explanation you-were-never-really-here

1:59 AM

@M.A.R. Yeah, missed it completely.

@M.A.R. Four friends might change to two friends if this is implemented. ;-)

What do you think of National awards? @AnkitSharma @AJ @ankiiiiiii

1 hour later…

3:21 AM

@NogShine don't give a damn about it.

4:06 AM

@NogShine I don’t regularly check it but it gives me a list of movies to watch, so it is helpful.

Most of the movies are not that popular, so I cannot comment on the validity of the award, because I haven’t seen them.

2 hours later…

6:01 AM

@AJ oooh that is sharp

@ankiiiiiii and he is IPS mod. ;-)

@NogShine haha

@AJ What does mighty A J give a damn about? \s

2 hours later…

8:29 AM

@ankiiiiiii how many times we @AJ

lol, just saw him enter

9:05 AM

Movie of the day: Beasts of No Nation

@ankiiiiiii khhhh, AJ is everything but he's not mighty

37 mins ago, by Memor-X

lol, just saw him enter

O.o

Now you saw me entering. :P

@NogShine Friends? HAHAHAHHA no.

They're called worshipers

okay!
"everything-but-not-mighty AJ" Hi!

@M.A.R. I don't think I would like Netflix movies

@ankiiiiiii Actually, now that he creepily entered the room, I'm not so sure

They are a bit light.

@M.A.R. Creepily enterer AJ

9:16 AM

@ankiiiiiii HAHAHA "light". That was a nice joke

Tell me 3 strong movies?

Watch it and you'll reconsider your definition of "light"

@ankiiiiiii Strong meaning 'heavy-handed'? As in, they're so dark or awesome they leave you beaten up on the couch for a while?

@M.A.R. I should have seen the trailer

imdb.com/name/nm0487166

See the first four movies shown in his "known for". perfect for me

They are weird and my friends say "what is this" as they don't understand the surrealism and the impact they make on me. Strong means that.
Super Deluxe is also a good one that I want to watch.

9:31 AM

@ankiiiiiii So . . . good drama?

Yeah, quite a lot of people don't get them and call them boring or whatever

@AJ Ha, same here

Although I bet ours is more riddled with state propaganda.

@M.A.R. uncertainty. There are movies which are predictable or normie. Also, I sometimes watch at 1.6x speed. So only storyline matters,

Wow, why do you leave the good parts out then?

@M.A.R. whyy would you give a damn about Indian National Awards?

The best movies are the ones that let you live through the movie, like the characters

If you don't have the time to watch a movie, don't

@AJ My "national" means Iranian

@M.A.R. like adult ones? ;P

9:40 AM

Fajr International Film Festival

The Fajr International Film Festival (Persian: جشنواره بین‌المللی فیلم فجر‎) and Fajr Film Festival (little: FIFF; Persian: جشنواره فیلم فجر‎) are Iran's annual film festivals, held every February and April in Tehran, Iran. The festival, started in 1982, is under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance in Iran. It takes place every year on the anniversary of the Iranian revolution. There were 90 feature films submitted for the 29th edition of the festival in 2011. The festival has been promoted both locally and abroad through television, radio and webinars with previous...

@AJ lol

@AJ See, we just rediscovered why porno has so many fans.

Good drama.

@M.A.R. I do watch slow paced movies at normal speed too! Like Brokeback mountain, or can you ever forgive me, or dogtooth.

@M.A.R. Yeah, and everybody geta interest in them. And no matter where you start the movie you will always get the story. ;)

But sped up instant family, Amelie, Shazam and detective pikachu

9:44 AM

Uhm...what?

What? No, Cat just visits this chat often

nvm, continue!

@ankiiiiiii Well, I think I summed up earlier why Shazam was kinda disappointing for me

Lemme see if I can find it

Aug 7 at 7:42, by M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

I might be in the minority here, but I think Shazam was incoherent.

Read on

"Critical consensus of The Screening Room on quality of the recent DCEU motion picture under constant temperature and pressure—A case study" are you a Phd?

and I am not going to read any of your threads again

They are so messy. you reply to hundred people at a time!

oh just noticed, I am 1/10th of your rep

Sometimes, I agree that you need to put things on a x1.25 speed, like Sir Ian McKellen's Sherlock, but almost always you'd have to accept that you're crippling the movie from sending the message the director wanted

9:50 AM

I just noticed a pattern, I speed up light romance, like in To all the boys I've loved before, but like movies like "Her" ,even if they're slow.

@ankiiiiiii Heh, far from that. I'm a random 20-year-old idiot from a tiny spot in the galaxy

I always thought you're a grumpy 37 y/o mechanic who first scolds customers for breaking the machine first and then thinks about repairing.

Now, whether @NapoleonWilson is secretly Peter Travers or a reincarnation of Andre Bazin or Roger Ebert is up for debate

@ankiiiiiii Mechanic, that's a new one

haha

I am awaiting some replies on IPS.

everyone is offline

Eeps, well, that's not my type of thing

Which is why I don't get to hang out there really often

Maybe I need to grow up a bit and enter the politics of the workplace before it becomes really important. I'm not a very social person, really.

9:59 AM

in The Awkward Silence, Aug 5 at 6:42, by ankiiiiiii

m.a.r.o-o~ isn't around these days

Most of the HNQ there are issues mostly non-existent for me at the moment, so I can't relate

@M.A.R. there's no workspace politics on IPS chat

@M.A.R. lost you completely!

yes, not so outgoing people are awesome in chat! I totally relate

@ankiiiiiii Well, Tink, Cat and Mith can be found in the Tavern, and they're the . . . "intersite" people. The others are almost exclusively discussing IPS stuff and I don't have anything to add to that discussion.

@ankiiiiiii well, in my case, I'm thinking my 'English self' is more of an extrovert.

Then comes the Turkish self, and finally the Persian self.

I'm guessing if it were a real-life Englisher to talk to, I would have been very social with them.

oh multilingual personality disorder(speciality to be polite). gotta report to my Psychology professor

I don't have much options, English and Hindi(which I almost never type)

@ankiiiiiii Well, observation: The questions are either 1. related to some racial tensions and "should I tell him or not", or 2. related to some tensions in the workplace and "should I tell him or not", or 3. Usually, off-topic, "is she into me", or 4. related to some mental health condition or autism

I can relate to neither.

10:14 AM

hmm mmh understable, not so social people don't need all of it

we mind our own business

mostly

I guess Eeps is most relevant in the increasingly western post-political societies

People here (and in India, I bet) don't read the hundred thousandth implication you put into your sentence and plaster it with some form of -ism. People that do something similar, out of cynicism or any other reason, you can't help.

10:33 AM

I cannot comment on that rn

also, gotta go,

Bye!

Q: Why does Lara pawn her necklace?

Lara can unlock her inheritance with just a signature giving her all the money and resources she needs. So why does she pawn her necklace? If she finds her father then the death certificate can be declared null and void, after all.

@NogShine i don’t even know where pi is on my keyboard!

@ankiiiiiii We should type it in mobile phone.

π

I typed without mobile. Thanks for letting me know @ankiiiiiii

wikihow.com/Type-the-Pi-Symbol

5:51 PM

@NogShine Hmm?

@M.A.R. the one we couldn’t pronounce or tag

Oh. Haha. Psssht. I totally didn't forget about that.

@NogShine I knew it was alt combo or CMD ctrl space to launch special characters. Just not the key press

@ankiiiiiii You can ping her, sure. If you type @, her name would appear automatically in the autocomplete, then press "tab".

And what about a post they haven’t commented on ?

@M.A.R. yes I did that for you

6:00 PM

What. My name doesn't consist of non-Unicode characters now

It used to on 2015

What is it ? Abbreviation?

Your username

It's my initials

Ah

Good idea
