Blakeyrat Reads StackOverflow While Bored At Work

Kudos to the answerer. I knew this was either Blazing Saddles or the original 1967 Casino Royale movie (the one that was strangely a goofball comedy for... a reason I presume?) but I couldn't place exactly which. Both have "fight" scenes that depart from the normal movie and break the 4th wall into other productions of the movie studio.

also uses the word "individuate" in a comment, which I'm pretty sure is gibberish.
google has a definition for the word.

Blazing Saddles
I just saw the pie fight in the last couple of days...somewhere...not sure where, I would have guessed someone posted it on here, but not sure.

Possibly if they're using a PC from the 90s with a current version of one of the more heavy weight AVs. This is exactly the kind of uninformed crap Linux evangelists spout because they assume nothing's changed in Windows since they last used it, and remember it as ebing worse than it was

This one believes answer written in Khajiit-speke is pretty amazing, no?

Commentors seem to agree!

@Tsaukpaetra The SwatKats reference is a bit too far, but. He also lacks enough "this one". Still pretty amazing.
TRUE STORY: in Elder Scrolls Online there's a Khajiit who was raised by Orcs and he doesn't talk like that, but if you bring it up he does a really bad Khajiit impersonation which made me laugh.

Because the US, Canada and Mexico don't spy on each other all that much?
The historical answer is: because it's closer to East Germany and the USSR, which is how this trope was initially established.
But note that James Bond himself has had tons of movies not in Europe:
- The one where he's in San Francisco
- The one where he's in the South fighting voodoo
- The one where he's in Japan and Sean Connery becomes a ninja or whatever
- The one from the 90s in North Korea

Aren't the Bond films British though? That would place them firmly out of the scope of this question
-
@Jaloopa Well ok. The only US spy movie I can think of off the top of my head that took place in Europe was XXX. And it also had a long bit in South America and of course started in the US. Salt, for comparison, took place almost exclusively in the US.
But I don't remember the Bourne movies (I've seen the first two but they were merely meh and I couldn't tell you a thing about them now).
So limiting it to US movies weakens the premise of the question as far as I'm concerned.
-
@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat Reads StackOverflow While Bored At Work:

Because it's cheaper to film in Germany and Romania.

Most people call that their mind, but seeing as you might not have one.... Maybe that tuft of fur above where it's supposed to be?

Also, yes. Because we can't read his mind.

Assorted episodes in the Mission Impossible franchise.

That's the one where he's in Japan and becomes a ninja, except I don't remember South America, but I haven't seen it in decades (barring the very end space battle bit a couple years ago).

You're mixing up You Only Live Twice with Moonraker. The former (which had Bond played by Sean Connery) had some theoretically space-bound action, but Bond didn't go to space until the latter (when Bond was played by Roger Moore).
And I don't like that I know this without needing to look it up at all.

Rumour has it that english schools now force their pupils to binge-watch all Bond-movies before they get started on Shakespeare.

I'm due to start my PhD in Pure Mathematics next month, fully funded by a scholarship, at an average university, I'll be specialising in combinatorial group theory, and I have a strong First in Mathematics from a Russell group university. My goal is to become an academic.
So he comes there to boast not only with his PhD position, but also the internetpoints.

@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat Reads StackOverflow While Bored At Work:
@theBread Field Of Dreams is like... the prototypical urban fantasy story. If they allow urban fantasy, they have to allow it.
I never really considered it "urban fantasy":
- It took place in a very rural area ()
- There were no fantasy creatures involved
To me, urban fantasy means a story that explores how magic and fantastical beings interact with a modern, technological world that doesn't really fit their mythologies anymore. For example, nothing I've seen demonstrates the essence of what urban fantasy is better than this scene:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoExgr3yzvg
And Field of Dreams just... isn't anything at all like any of that.

@jbert What a coincidence. I was reading SO/SE while bored at work today, and this was one of the things I read. I have no recollection of having heard of the song before today, though, so I would have completely ed on the Easter egg.

...
Does he really wonder why asking for less money would result in the retraction of an offer? It makes you look like an idiot, and no one want to have a known idiot working for them.
