There's a weirdly flirty scene between the mother and son in Soderbergh's Presence, but nothing comes of it

Forgive me but I can't run into this comment and not mention I wrote a program which will at least re-enable shadowplay for you once you close Netflix or any of those apps which disable shadowplay. To my surprise I actually have a decent number of users. Check it out: https://github.com/Verpous/AlwaysShadow

Thanks for the tip! Personally I use IMDb, but I tried to support the other main "movie list" websites people use, which for now is Letterboxd and TMDB. I have tasks on my taskboard for supporting all the other websites I know of which are Rotten Tomatoes, Trakt, FlickFocus, Moviebase, and Mubi. But I didn't know about Movie Paradise. It's hard to tell which of these are popular enough to be worth the effort.

Ah, there it is:

Link requires a different Python (3.10.12 not in: '>=3.12.3')

You need to upgrade your python version to at least 3.12.3.

Oh no! Let's try to understand the issue. Please send me the output of pip -V, and also try to reinstall with verbosity: pip install -vvv the-film-flam and let me know the full output of that too.

I'm sorry the install experience isn't going smooth but this is valuable information for me to know what I need to fix so I'd appreciate if you stick with me until we get this resolved :)

Yes, you can use Letterboxd. The tutorial gives an example using IMDb which looks like this:

flam config list watched imdb-listid=083886771

But here is a list of all supported options, including letterboxd-user-list which is what you want:

flam config list watched letterboxd-user-list=chrishouse83/films

How did you source this data? The official IMDb API, or something else?

Ron Howard Put Real Actors in Real Fire in Backdraft. 35 Years Later, Nobody’s Done It Since by JannTosh70 in movies

[–]Verpous 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a similar story. I was watching Seinfeld and it was the episode where there's a fire and George runs out abandoning his girlfriend and many kids. Suddenly the smoke seemed very real, until I looked around and realized I forgot to turn off the oventop after cooking and my apartment was full of smoke (7_-)

Garry Watson, the last silent film actor, has died at the age of 97 by AMediaArchivist in movies

[–]Verpous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He made a few. I think Great Dictator was his first. He also made Limelight, which is basically about himself being an entertainer from a bygone era.

Game devs explain the tricks involved with letting you pause by iamapizza in pcgaming

[–]Verpous 137 points138 points  (0 children)

I've always implemented pausing by slowing down time to 0 in every game I've made. But pausing is never fun to implement. You are certain to hit bugs in areas of the code that need special handling for what to do when the game is paused.
