What does "intermediate shower" mean?
Hello, I am trying to transcribe an interview of non-native English speakers. There's a part that the interviewee talks about islands in the northern part of a country and he says "it's a calm environment and also breeze and also shower, intermediate shower". Actually, I am not sure if I get the words "breeze" and "intermediate shower" right. I have no idea how these words, especially intermediate shower could relate to the message about the topic in the interview. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
What is your favorite movie you've seen over 5 times?
Mine is "Good Will Hunting". I saw it in my teenagers at the first time and it became my go-to movie. The reason why I loved it so much is because of the relationship between the professor and Will, as well as the relationship between the friend and Will. It's portrayed in a warm way. The professor finds out Will's talent and support him to develop the talent. His friend encourages him to do a challenge. It's very touching. I love touching movies and if you guys have one, share it to me.
Is this correct?

Does "straight shooter" make sense in this context? about to get it tattooed on my wrist
I'm not sure where I've heard this definition, but the way I thought of it is that a straight shooter is someone who's highly motivated to accomplish something. the idea behind it is someone wanting something so badly and being about to pull the trigger. I'm someone who's highly obsessed with self-improvement and I'd love to get it tattooed on me. before I make any mistakes, is this interpretation correct?
What does "to boot" mean?
Hi everyone! I'm having a hard time to understand what does the verb "to boot" mean? I've seen that verb a couple times in books (that were adapted for a certain level of English proficiency), and now I've found it again in this sentence: "*If you’re going to boot, so help me, please*" I have no idea what does it mean. I tried to look up the meaning of this verb on the internet, but nothing really fits this sentence. Please can someone explain me what does it mean?
