It's just one of those meaningless buzzwords that people put in the title of movies once it gets popular, like "Ninja" or "Kung fu", "Madea", etc

Well yeah, they had literally nothing in common and "Cloverfield" sounds like a generic proper name for a street or whatever that's just ungeneric enough to not sound cliche. 10 Main Street would be a poo poo movie name.

It's an anthology sci-fi series Cloverfield is like a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits. Course then we got Paradox and it's a direct prequel to the original movie so

The Bloop posted:It wasn't spelled literally though, at least not in the version I know TIL Barbapapa and Moomins are different things. drat this poo poo is fifty years old at least. Lately I've been irritating myself with thoughts like "when I was a teenager it was cool to listen to classic rock from the 60s" which is analogous to kids today listening to grunge. But if you take the 60s from now, that's about 50 or 60 years and so me getting out the Floyd or whatever is like granddad pulling out some sweet Edison cylinders of swing tunes and slapping them on the gramophone. Thankfully I'm childless so I don't have to endure the eye rolling from my grandkids when I YouTube up some Buffalo Springfield... Or maybe "retro" is not exactly linear.

Cuz the original movie did not take place in a near future with an energy crisis and I'm pretty sure Russia and Germany were not about to go for Ostfront round 3? Cuz it was just 2008 NYC? I dig Twilight Zone and Black Mirror but the cloverfields don't even hit on similar themes!!

Cuz it was just 2008 NYC? Paradox has a guy saying "turning this thing on will set monsters loose and bad things will happen" and it ends with the Cloverfield monster showing up because they turned the thing on and bad things are now happening Edit: and I want to say Netflix played a trailer that said something like "see how it happened" referring to the original but I'm at phone posting so I can't double check that.

And before somebody brings it up, the guy in the movie even says that it could cause problems in the past, so the fact that none of the events of the Cloverfield Paradox prior to the catastrophe happening are taking place in the original film isn't technically a plot hole.

The word “Paradox” in the title of a sci-fi flick pretty much tells me it will involve some kind of time shenanigans. Haven’t seen it yet.

So it turns out that Cloverfield Paradox is literally a pre-existing standalone script and they added the monster so it could join the franchise Lol Sorry I didn’t recognize the monster from the forgettable 10-year-old movie or realize that Creepy John Goodman was... somehow involved Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 21:36 on Feb 14, 2018 |

And according to his contract, they had to offer Frank Sinatra the part of McClane first, even though he was in his 70s (I think).

And the next one set during WW2 where they stumble on Nazi paranormal poo poo was the same. It's literally a way for weird sci-fi movies that would never get made to get made.

I was playing some records the other day when I heard this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaj5e2w3ymg All the time I kept thinking about how I'd heard that little keyboard riff before, but where? Turns out, it was sampled in a fairily obscure 90's videogame soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7txTeeZTkk

My wife showed me that if you stack Tupperware smallest on the bottom to biggest on top it takes up significantly less space. I’ve always been doing it the opposite because it seemed to make more sense that way (if you don’t think about it).

It’s because when you stack a bigger container into a smaller container the bottoms will always touch, but if you put a smaller container into a bigger container you’re always going to add height because the container can only go as low as the lip/rim allows for. It’s not a huge difference if you’re only stacking a few pieces but it adds up fast in the context of limited shelf space

How do you fit a bigger container into a smaller one? Are we talking about containers with identical side dimensions but varying heights?

Hardcordion posted:How do you fit a bigger container into a smaller one? Are we talking about containers with identical side dimensions but varying heights? Yeah my brain broke on that too. Unless we’re talking about 4D container stacking. Then... still broke. Same-size in everything but height makes way more sense. E: if they have the same dimensions for the opening, they’d have to slightly taper or they wouldn’t fit within each other.

"Doff" (as in doffing your cap) is the opposite of "don" (as in donning your armor).
