Bad joke explained 

@SilviaFox @catoutofbed
National Treasure: Chamber of Secrets. Gates (Nicolas Cage) puts his hand in a hole to open up a secret entrance. Acts like it caught his hand painfully. (His bad joke, mine being a Halo: Reach reference.) Starts screaming to the horror of his parents.
A few seconds later, he laughs (and stops screaming) and says, "I'm sorry, I couldn't resist."

Also... I probably should have put a "spoiler" CW in my joke.

@Terxbor @catoutofbed
You explained it and I still don't get it

Bad joke explained 

@SilviaFox @catoutofbed
The Noble 6 part (which is a major spoiler and thus not actually explained) or the "couldn't resist" part?

Bad joke explained, Halo: Reach ending spoiler 

@SilviaFox @catoutofbed
For the National Treasure part, you'll just have to suck it up and watch the second film.

As for Halo: Reach, the ending has your character, Noble 6, failing to leave the planet Reach, and is thus doomed to be killed by the enemy (they turn the planet to glass soon after).
Noble 6's story ends before that, at the top of a hill, facing down an endless number of enemy soldiers. The scene ends only when you die.

@Terxbor @catoutofbed
I'm not watching a Natural Treasure movie

And I actually remember that ending now

That was a good game for the 5 hours I played

"So bad it's good" crossover movie idea 

@catoutofbed @SilviaFox
Does Ben become a wizard, or his son, or does the Hogwarts and MoM staffs call him a Muggle, with him correcting it to No-Maj?

@SilviaFox @Terxbor
i don't remember enough about one of these series to answer this

"So bad it's good" crossover movie idea 

@catoutofbed @SilviaFox
Or both, possibly, so I'll explain the less-obvious parts.
Gates doesn't yet have a son, but a third movie could introduce him. (Or her.)
In the spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the setting is New York. American wizards and witches call their non-magic brethren "No-Majes," or "No-Maj" for singular.

"So bad it's good" crossover movie idea 

@SilviaFox @catoutofbed
I failed to point out that Fantastic Beasts is a Harry Potter spinoff, set I believe in the 1920s.

"So bad it's good" crossover movie idea 

@SilviaFox @catoutofbed
And if Ben becomes a wizard, does he then act like his character in The Sorcerer's Apprentice?

"So bad it's good" crossover movie idea 

@catoutofbed @SilviaFox
Like I said... I like the movie. So sue me for liking a bad movie without it being so bad it's good.

Plus, it's got a Magic: The Gathering reference in it.

@Terxbor @catoutofbed
I'm just gonna admit that I know like nothing about any of these things
