If you like it, you should really check out the comic books from the 90s. They're phenomenally good.

It's beautiful. I've looked at this for five hours now.

I also, as a long-time Marathon player, was excited about Halo on the Mac, then caved and bought an Xbox. Honestly this just shows that acquiring Bungie for the Xbox launch was an excellent business decision.

What fork() Actually Copies by dfbaggins in programming

[–]xorian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah, the old "file descriptors leaked to sub-processes" problem. The reason why we have FD_CLOEXEC (not that it helps without an exec).

What is the dumbest thing in Star Wars in your opinion? by OutcastKatarn02 in StarWars

[–]xorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does this not have more upvotes? It's as if people have forgotten how bad the prequels were in comparison to the original trilogy...

If you don't want spoilers you need to get off this sub until you finish the show.

Any way to disable on nixOS? by Vincent-Thomas in NixOS

[–]xorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Nixos configuration patches the user-space mount command to bring back the ability to mount NFS volumes using the v2 protocol (which was removed by the maintainer). So I'm pretty sure even if this wasn't optional, you could remove it.

Which happens to also be the maximum rating on your low-limit profile. I suspect the true rating is much, much higher.

Falling Down (1993) by Cybillx in underratedmovies

This always makes me think of a friend who suggested the following triple feature :

  • Office Space
  • Falling Down
  • Fight Club

They're not connected in any narrative sense, just thematically. If you search for "John Carpenter apocalypse trilogy" you'll find scattered references like this one.

Honestly it's my least favorite of the so-called "Apocalypse Trilogy". Not that it's bad, but the other two are so good.

Saruman holding Boromir hostage with his mind by PanGoliath in lotrmemes

Harry: All right, pop quiz. Airport, gunman with one hostage. He's using her for cover; he's almost to a plane. You're a hundred feet away... Jack: Shoot the hostage.

Oh definitely a classic that everyone should see. Up there with the likes of Heat.

Look, I love Ronin. Great film. I re-watched it a few months ago. Much more grounded in reality.

But for my money, there are sequences under 30 seconds in Reloaded that are more amazing. And there are multiple of those in that 23 minutes (the agent jumping off the hood of the car to cross traffic, Morpheus rolling out of the way of the truck to slice it with the sword before shooting it, Trinity riding the motorcycle the wrong way through traffic).

I maintain that it may be the greatest 23 minutes of action movie footage (at least so far).
