Kant Remember The Name Of The Film

How do you find a movie title if you only remember details of the plot?

This is bound to be tricky in that there are far more plots than movies ;-)Others have suggested searching IMDB with cast or character names (if you can remember them) or plot keywords but I would suggest that other great resource - friends. If you can remember someone you knew around the time you saw that movie - even if you didn't see it with them - ask them. "Remember when we working on the Jones project and there was that film about the guy who turned out to be a CIA triple agent but we only found out after his ID was found in the alligators stomach? What was that called?" Human memeory search functions aren't as precise as databases but they can cope with very ropy data!

What movie was "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor in?

The Karate Kid (With will smith's son)

What does "counting crows" mean, other than the name of a band?"

It is good that you explore the roots of sayings just as your site is a root for knowledge as well. I liked what the poster in the middle of the page of the first link said so I'll state with what the poster says last. (the second link is about magpies). The third link suggests in one sentence that the rhyme means "life is as pointless as counting crows." But I would say the epistemology of it suggests the otherwise.

While 'Counting Crows' is an old nursery rhyme, now aimed at young children, it is a wonderful example of how most things never really disappear, and how the past can influence the future.

I found the first link below regarding the English Rhyme, When you scroll down the page on the first link you will read a good post by (idea) chin.lin in the middle of the page who goes into good detail about it. There are two gists she says and I will post them here.

"While also the name of a band, 'Counting Crows' is the reference name of a nursery rhyme; it is also called a divination rhyme due to the fact that the number of crows seen is a premonition. This counting rhyme is believed to have originated from crow or magpie augry. There are many variations to this rhyme, due to different time periods and geographical locations. The older ones seem to have originated in Europe, and use magpies instead of crows, whereas the newer versions have originated in North America and use crows.

In old Europe, it was believed lucky to see a single magpie, as demonstrated in this nursery rhyme: Magpie, magpie, chatter and flee, Turn up thy tail, and good luck to me.

In addition, though, depending on the number of crows, magpies, or ravens in a murder (flock), something different was supposed to happen in your life or the lives around you."

And later the poster says this.

"Each of these variation have origins from the 1800s and earlier. Silver and gold were still used as monetary units (real silver and gold); God and Satan were absolutes, and superstition abounded concerning the Devil: he would take your daughter, destroy your home, etc.; and being sick could easily mean death.

Granted, these rhymes are non-specific; however, this is what gave them their believability. For instance, if one were to see two crows (two for mirth), and went to the local tavern and heard a joke which made them laugh, then the premonition had come true."

What is the "add-a-bead" referred to in Silence of the Lambs?

In Thomas Harris's Silence of the Lambs, there is the following monologue by Hannibal:

"Let me tell you something specific about yourself, Student Starling. Back in your room, you have a string of gold add-a-beads and you feel an ugly little thump when you look at how tacky they are now, isn't that so? All those tedious thank-yous, permitting all that sincere fumbling, getting all sticky once for every bead. Tedious. Tedious."

Given the time period of the book, this appears to be a cultural reference to some custom popular in the early to mid-eighties. I've seen add-a-bead bracelets, but I don't think this is what Hannibal is referring to. He appears to be referring to some kind of custom with sexual associations -- e.g., something like a bracelet to which a young woman adds a bead each time she has a new lover. This seems to be what the language is suggesting, yet it also seems preposterous. Can anyone tell me if I'm right? Or if not, what the add-a-beads really are?

Pornography featuring pregnant women?

I mistakenly came across a porn site fairly recently where women were having sex (including oral) with farm animals. I'm sorry, but if anything is "kind of sick" that's definitely it!

I do feel sorry for the babies of those women--who knows what diseases the women may pick up, what kind of role model the baby will have, what kind of life, etc., but there are far worse things than pregnant women when it comes to porn. I'm not disagreeing with you at all--I do think it's pretty gross and very sad that some women would lower themselves to that just to make a buck, but there's worse out there.

Why was the movie named PINK?

It must be related to something girlish. Pink is for girls. But why such a sophisticated movie be named so simply? There must be something deep. This gave me a food for thought yesterday.I don’t think Pink is just reffered to “forced and often cruel or threat based occupation of a vagina by an unwelcome penis”. It seems Sircar has done quite a complex job while thinking of the title PINK.Here are following points to prove my point:The saying “pink collar” refers to a female office worker, often used in a derogatory fashion: The movie were about female workers. Three women in the movie Pink (2016) were female workers. They were judged for working late in the movie. In this way, they were misunderstood by their society. These women were doing pink collar jobs.A pink slip is a letter from your employer which tells you that you do not have a job any more. Remember when Falak is fired? Falak was given a pink slip.To be in the pink means to be intoxicated. The reason these girls came under the scanner of the society as those girls were in the pink.These are few insights that I was able to find. I cannot imagine how much effort has been put to name the movie.P.S: Go and watch the movie in theatres. I cannot imagine how much effort has been put just to name the movie.
