actual spoiler bit of popular movie reaction
the mona lisa burning scene was really tedious tho. like the event itself and the aftermath scene are good payoffs for all the prior setup, but dragging out Helen getting there like that was just annoying. also why didn’t we hear the shield activating for like five minutes beforehand anyway. apparently it was still functioning but like, just not making any noise despite being significantly loud earlier in the film?
popular movie reaction
glass onion was quite good. it had certain weak points but the second segment of the film was very well done.
@Lady i usually have the problem that by the time i get to a point of being able to tell anybody my memory of the dream has decohered to the point that all i can say is “you were in it” and maybe the vibe of one segment of the dream (but usually the vibe shifts a lot so that’s just be misleading)
food
oh no a piece of uncooked pasta fell on the floor and shattered but the floors are wood and the lighting is kinda orange anyway
@Satsuma i don't understand why you would care about 17 when 7 already divides it
programming
why do all the popular javascript frontend approaches to managing state seem so hostile to abstraction
unrelatedly why does leslie fish have such a thing for kipling anyway
@wallhackio i like “fremd” (which i learned thru @Lady’s influence). whither/hither/thither and whence/hence/thence are kinna basic but, properly used, they are underrated i think
programming
@Lady i could just test it but if they don't document it how do i know it's intentional that i can count on it >.>
programming
imo js libraries should document unambiguously whether the methods they describe return values as supporting actually have to be invoked as methods on the return value or can be used as functions
programming
surprisingly not even a we-don't-pay-attention-to-firefox-support bug. it happens on chrome too.
programming
i think if your front-end JS framework's documentation website don't manage to respond to navigation by putting me at the top of the new page instead of whatever scroll-position i was at in the previous page, that is maybe an indication i should ignore your front-end JS framework.
@gaditb ooh thanks
@gaditb well now i’m glad you missed that bit. tho idk whether i’ll be able to get my hands on Yidl Mitn Fidl hehe
kingdom hearts should have had musical numbers (simple and clean, love it as i do, doesn't count)
wait giancarlo esposito was in do the right thing??? huh. i guess he was a good deal younger at that time
@aescling @wallhackio thanks y'all. will take these into consideration :)
i have watched Do The Right Thing before and liked it tho i don't remember my thoughts more specifically than that.
reposted as public since lbr i assume of peeps who follow me only @Lady has the ability to meaningfully filter on "does this film fit lyssa's tastes?" and i'm not counting on anybody including her trying to do so for this rec request
soliciting movie recommendations as i am home alone for the next couple of days and want something to put on the telly in the background (and/or more attentively watch, we'll see)
criteria:
- no christmas
- mild preference for not in the past decade or perhaps even this century
- stronger preference for not in the past like five years
- not generally a fan of action films because i'm bad at following action scenes; willing to make exceptions for very good films or ones with especially comprehensible action scenes
- english audio is kinda essential for the background-watching stuff but feel free to suggest films without it anyway
- excellent or influential films and trashy drek both welcomed, mediocre stuff less appealing.
