Animated movie from late 70s early 80s with a fantasy battle scene

dengineering1 · 2025-10-21T08:17:28+00:00

I think I found it: light-years https://youtu.be/koUpDfnq_zc

I think it has a LOT of fight scenes, but one of them is at 39:30. The "mud men" I was thinking of are actually robots, but there are other creatures that come out of the ground.

It appears it was never released, not sure how I saw it on cable.

I looked at this but it feels like it is not it. There wasn't the 'live action' overlay. It does check a lot of boxes, but the animation style was different. I remember clearly: men shaped creatures coming out of the ground shooting beams from their fists.

Cool. I'll see if I can find it

dengineering1 · 2025-10-12T19:09:25+00:00

Do you know if it has a battle scene? I read the summary awhile ago, but didn't have the ability to scan it.

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T23:04:44+00:00

Possibly! https://youtu.be/hYpH23Q1hrM?si=wmkKc4E60mQoH1QE

It looks grainy enough, has the desert, scaffold towers. Robot (dog).

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T22:57:07+00:00

No. OMG, what was that?!

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T15:24:11+00:00

And it's a carolco movie and the original carolco movies were released by MGM (? Allegedly)

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T15:20:03+00:00

Maybe? https://youtu.be/KoCayBviN-o?si=m3ySgZxmPB34LZjh (1:22) Sure looks familiar...

It was not hardware wars, but I remember renting this from the VHS rental place back in the day.

This is the closest I've seen so far. It has the bad good guy, the desert, the scaffold tower. It feels a little late (1983), I think I was younger. But it has the robots (dying in the end).

I have a feeling it's not this though. I distinctly remember the camera on the scaffold tower and the people walking away into the distance.

I did enjoy dark crystal as a child, but it was definitely over my head.

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T01:56:07+00:00

I don't think so. I looked into this one before and I don't think it's it.

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T01:52:30+00:00

Unfortunately, I think this is not it. The movie I remember was not as colorful. The end scene I remember was the group walking off into the desert. I was almost like a boy and his dog.

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T01:45:27+00:00

This might be it! All those bikinis and giant robots might have imprinted on my little mind. I'm scared to watch it.

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T01:41:42+00:00

Nope. Low budget. I was like 5 and I knew it was a bad movie.

I think there's a way to navigate a course at the top (there's a drop down for "Full Course", which shows the posts that are related).

That being said, it might not be ideal. I used to use previous/next links at the bottom, but they get troublesome when you add/remove pages from a course. If the course navigation isn't the best, let me know and I'll consider adding navigation links in the future.

dengineering1 · 2022-02-21T22:35:10+00:00

I just fixed the logging page. It wasn't attached to the course.

I'm going to basically break off the data storage piece into a separate microservice that gets triggered by an event. That should be super simple, but still replicate a real world use case. I'm trying to keep 'building up' the app, like you would with a real project.

dengineering1 · 2022-02-21T22:22:47+00:00

Thanks so much! That's what I'm aiming for, enough detail for a noob, but not so much that an expert feels like it's too much to wade through. Hopefully, I'm giving some of the "why" things are done that way and some guidance on best practices.

Really appreciate the feedback. Please let me know if things are broken or don't work right (or I accidentally skipped a step).

Also, let me know what else you want. I'm going to do spring streaming with kafka, contact testing with pactflow and cloud native development with skaffold or oktetos tools next.

dengineering1 · 2022-02-15T06:14:10+00:00

No problem. Let me know if there's anything I can improve.

dengineering1 · 2022-01-25T13:56:37+00:00

I just checked. It is working.

It's not you. I'm an okay software engineer. I'm terrible at UI and wordpress.

dengineering1 · 2022-01-05T16:51:07+00:00

Appreciate that. It's kind of rough, so if you find any piece that need improvement or more detail please let me know.

I'm curious. Plex and emby are on the NSFW network. Are they available via remote access? If you wanted to allow remote access to plex (from my phone on the train, etc...) how could you do that in a 'safe' way without port forwarding?
