Rocky Horror Picture Show if I'm really stuck on one Java line and I can't invoke class.

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
If you would all get off this forum and start coding you'd be finished by now.

I like Hair the Musical or A Clockwork Orange. Rocky Horror Picture Show if I'm really stuck on one Java line and I can't invoke class.

Happy ignorance to you.

Seeing as how it's ignorance of your opinion, yes, it is indeed quite happy.

But all is not lost, little shmuckling! You can convince me your opinion is worth listening to. It won't be easy, given how hard you have worked over the years to convince me otherwise. But it can be done. The first step is to convince me you're not a total douche-bag. Stuff like "After that, I'll allow you to code with the movie playing on your third screen" acts contrary to that goal, btw.

Good luck! Kiss

Ummm...

You can take whatever you wish out of a post. It's up to you.

If you'd actually answer the question (about 2001) and follow through with subsequent questions posed to you, you might see exactly how you're missing out because of your stubborn attitude.
I'm not missing out on anything. As I said, your opinion carries zero weight with me. Not positive, not negative. Zero.

Whenever you claim that the content of someone else's statements are of zero significance, you are in effect plugging your ears, which is your choice. In such cases, you actually can't attach any merit one way or another to the information flow passing by your ears, and thus you will remain completely ignorant of what you might be missing. Thus, you cannot make the claim that you're not missing out on anything.

So in effect, you neither know whether you're missing out on anything, and to boot, your statement is logically fallacious.

Happy ignorance to you.

Which of my movie recommendations are you going to start with first (with drink in hand)?
What makes you think your advice carries any weight with me?

The answer to the question can be answered logically through a series of questions.
No need for all of that. You're a pretentious ass. Your opinion carries exactly zero weight with me.

It sounds like you're getting all bent out of shape for no reason. It seems you might have trouble distinguishing between someone having fun and someone ordering someone around. What part of "After that, I'll allow you to code with the movie playing on your third screen" do you actually take as a command that needs be obeyed?

The takeaway: you're letting your own animosities get in the away of experiencing new cinema. In a sense, you've given me power over you - I need merely recommend anything excellent and know that your life experience will be lessened because you refuse to take an interest in something new precisely because I recommended it.

Imagine if you hadn't read some works by Neal Stephenson. I could recommend Cryptonomicon, and you'd refuse to read it on the grounds of me recommending it. Sad.

Question #1: Is 2001: A Space Odyssey a movie worth watching (assuming you've seen it properly, or seen it at all, in it's 2.35:1 aspect ratio on a reasonably sized screen)?

The fact is, they're all horribe movies to code to. You admit yourself that they require a decent amount of attention.

They do require attention.

After that, I'll allow you to code with the movie playing on your third screen.

Oh thank you, Master! May I drink a soda while I do so, or must it be Evian? Roll Eyes

You may drink whatever you wish.
Your benevolence knows no bounds.

You may drink whatever you wish. Gather your favorite drink(s), snacks, get comfortable, and enjoy the show. And watch the Martin Scorsese link above.

So why not use my third screen for a movie?

It depends how many times you've seen the movie. Floating Weeds, or Late Autumn, or Yi Yi, or say, Days of Being Wild need to be watch with full attention on the first viewing, and even the second viewing. After that, I'll allow you to code with the movie playing on your third screen.

You only get one chance to see a movie the first time. It might be a great one (as like the ones listed above), so don't mess it up.

Simple.

P.S.: furthermore, you shouldn't be watching a movie via some crapmaster Tor pirate online download overly compressed file with home-brewed innacurate subtitles ripped from some old VHS copy. Seek out a quality transfer.

Martin Scorsese will explain to you what a quality transfer is, how it is done, and the work it entails here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjv755LkaIE

Movies aren't to be coded by.

Why not, it helps me think and I have 3 screens really 4 if you count my laptop screen, but 3 screens and one is my IDE (Coda 2) and one screen(42" tv 1080p) is all my browsers. So why not use my third screen for a movie?

Movies aren't to be coded by. Plain and simple. If you know movies, then it's because you watch them attentively, not while coding. But if I were to do something as absurd as to code while watching a movie, obviously the movies of choice would any of the following:

The Human Condition
Floating Weeds
No Regrets for our Youth
An Autumn Afternoon
Pale Flower
The Makioka Sisters
Late Spring
The Magician
Late Autumn
Yi Yi
The Idiot
Equinox Flower
2046
Early Summer
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
Tokyo Story
Days of Being Wild
Ashes of Time Redux
Thirst for Love
The Warped Ones
Woman in the Dunes
The Face of Another
       
        ~or~

2001: A Space Odyessey

Now, I suggest everyone return to their acts of coding.

It's almost impossible for me to do something while watching a movie, they distract me so easily. I do however have an awesome music playlist that I code to with too many bands to list.

Maybe I'll set up a "Vehicles for people who should NOT be acting" marathon some day...
Kazaam, Space Jam, Mr. Nanny, Rocky, My Giant....

I would watch Space Jam and My giant those two are the best movies no joke
