My girlfriend and I are having a competition to who can find a movie. We can't remember name of it based off of a trailer.

A horror/thriller movie. Released last few years. Woman and man go on date. Woman takes man to cottage or just her house maybe, meets her kids? He isn't allowed to leave, or something. They pretty much creepily kidnap him, make him be the kids father. I don't know.

It was in English. She just informed me she originally saw it on a shelf in Family Video about a year ago. No clue on the actors. We're trying to find it based off of a random trailer we watched (literally a year ago) after she'd seen it on shelves. So our memory is awful. It looked like a creepy kind-of horror (maybe?) flick. There couldn't be much of a body count to it, as the trailer seemed like it was just this woman, the dude, and the two kids.

We've found films with less information. Typical problems include diluting memories. It's not a revenge flick by any chance? :P
 
I'm weirdly OCD when It comes to Netflix. You know how when you watch a TV show or movie, a progress bar is shown across the bottom of the episode in the menus? Is there any way to remove those? I went back to watch a scene from a random TV show, and I hate how it now labels that episode as watched.

Any way to get rid of this?
 
Do you guys tip extra for late night deliveries? It's 1:45 here and I just ordered a burrito and dessert, and I'm thinking of tipping 20%. That's fair, right?

Not really looking for approval. I'm just wondering what people do.
 
It could be a driver issue or printer memory issue. If the printer is old you might want to consider replacing it.

Rectangles are also used when the font is missing but then you would have seen a more obvious pattern.
 
How do you update your graphics driver?

In photoshop, trying to use lighting effect but it keeps crashing.

Reading on forums it seems I might have to update my graphic driver.

How do I do that?
 
Semi-serious question: My tongue feels dry, kinda burned or rather weird all evening/night already but otherwise I feel fine. Drinking something alleviates it a bit for a while but it always comes back, should I worry? o.o
 
I heard someone earlier today say two parallel lines can intersect on a non-Euclidean surface like curved spacetime. I tried to wrap my head around that, but even if I am imagining a sphere, even if I pick up a round object and draw parallel lines that circle all the way around, those lines do not intersect. I can't think of any situation where parallel lines intersect because by definition that seems impossible. Is there a case that proves otherwise? Can a line be parallel at one point and not at another? I am talking on a 3D surface.

I was walking home one night from a college party in Austin when something peculiar caught my eye...

THIS HIDEOUS BEAST

A very large insect...bug...crustacean...mythical thing that had pincers (or at least I think it did). That was simply walking slowly along the asphalt as if he took the route daily.

I already have entomophobia, so I was freaked out extremely. However, I couldn't stop looking back at it. Guys, what the FUCK was this thing?

Sorry, my hands were trembling and I didn't want to get too close. You may be right, these days the frats have been having crawfish boils and whatnot. The sight of it in the wee hours of the morning just walking down the street made me think it was some kind of mega beetle. Creeped me the hell out.
 
If I crossed the event horizon of a black hole, and you were communicating with me via radio from the outside, you'd see me slow down and hear my voice drawl out until my image and sound both ultimately freeze. My question: what would I experience? Until I hit the center of that black hole and am presumably ripped apart, am I simply unaware I have crossed the horizon? Am I wondering why you are not responding, or can I hear you keep asking why I am speaking like a slo-mo movie? My understanding is time for me would be moving almost infinitely fast relative to you, so five seconds for me would be many lifetimes for you. Do I actually hear you say anything at all? Or in the milliseconds of my crossing, have you already spent your life waiting? Basically, if "time" continues normally for me between the event horizon and the center of the black hole, do I keep receiving your communications as I normally would, but with my own responses unable to escape the gravity of the hole?
 
I tried cooking some ribeye today and got enraged after searing it and then putting it in the oven for 2 minutes a side at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and then measuring its internal temperature for it to be at 100 degrees when I wanted 135 for medium rare.

I let it rest for 2 hours before cooking but I just realized it was wrapped around aluminum foil for those 2 hours. Does that mean its temp stayed the same for those 2 hours and didn't actually rise to room temperature? It's either that or my oven is fucked.
 
Does anyone know why HBO GO for the pc is such a piece of shit? Video playback is almost always choppy as hell no matter what resolution it's streaming in, and I don't have this problem with any other streaming video service. I've tried it in both IE (the later version whatever it is) and Waterfox, doesn't make a difference. Does not seem to a be a buffering issue. This is pissing me off, it's practically unwatchable.
 
Does anyone remember the name of an animated film that debuted on Cartoon Network a few years ago (or more than a few, IDK how long ago I watched it)? The general premise was that the MC was a teenage half-kaiju in high-school that was constantly plagued by trouble due to being the heir to the Kaiju throne. I remember one seen where he accidentally shot fire and an adviser of the MC explained to the principle that it was just a firecracker or something.

Firebreather?
 
Going to be showing a design portfolio (largely video-based) in interviews in the coming weeks, but as an internet connection isn't a guarantee I was wondering if there were any suggestions for offline-portfolio applications or templates.

I've seen a few apps when searching online but they have all been for mobile and tablet use, whereas I will be using a laptop.
 
Does anyone else experience 408 errors only on Gaf? I seriously get them every other thread and it's super annoying.
 
What's the name (if it has a name) of the little tune that goes like "Bah dah dah dun dah da... DAH!" that would appropriate to play after someone tells a really dumb joke?
 
Kinda of a odd question, but my mom (live with parents) supposedly heard from a friend of hers that starting on Wednesday, (we use Coast Electric) you can't turn the air conditioner on from 3PM-6PM. I mean what the fuck? This can't possibly be true, can it? I searched their website and it says nothing about this. We are in Picayune Mississippi if that helps.

Can anyone find anything about this? Surely the fuck its a joke, its too hot as it is. I don't even. I'm pretty sure my mom is being fed false info, or is fucking with me. I need to know for sure please, anyone. :(
 
hey once upon a time on gaf there was a thread about a music video which was great... it had lots of naked girls and was in italian i think... the thread went on about other good music videos

i cant for the life of me find it, anyone remember the video?
 
Can't remember the name of this game.

It was for Amiga, and there were two parts to it. The first part played like Chase HQ, you had to catch up with an escaping car, avoiding other cars and such. Once you caught up, they'd bail the car and run into a building. The game would then switch to a side scroller where you'd navigating through a building shooting bad guys and such. Can't for the life of me remember the name~!! Help

Gosh maybe it wasn't on Amiga, I looked through http://hol.abime.net/ and didn't see it there

edit: it was techno cop
 
Is there a name for that thing where someone grabs another persons cheeks and pull on them? I've seen it in a few anime and some live-action stuff from Japan as well, so is there actually a name for that or is it just a thing that (based upon what I've seen) teenage girls over there do?
 
With the embedded YouTube videos on GAF mobile, how do you replay them, after they finish, without reloading the page?

It usually give you related videos only.

It's just called cheek pinching
 
Hi guys, want to get the misses a new laptop.

Just a question regarding windows 8.1

According to this website at the very bottom
"***Office isn’t included with Windows 8.1, Windows 8.1 Pro or Windows 8.1 Pro Pack. This product needs to be purchased separately."

Is this true?

LINK

Also what are the best 'brands' to get?

HP, Lenovo, Asus??

Want something around the $800-1200 AU range that has 8gb ram and i7, preferably the latest operating system too which I guess is 8.1


------------------

1 more question, what virus protection does windows 8.1 come with (with the above laptop i guess)

I keep hearing that 8.1 doesnt support norton :/
