The N chevrons away on those roads are often ludicrously far apart. It it well over the 2 second rule and nobody follows it.

A lot of these concepts don't mean anything to most developers I've found. A lot of the time I struggle to get the guy I work with to compile and run his code. Even something relatively simple as determinism and pure functions just isn't happening.

This is shockingly common and most developers will never ever hear of Clojure, Haskell or Elixir.

I really feel there is like two completely different developer worlds. One where these things are discussed and the one I am in where I am hoping that I don't have to make a teams call to tell a guy "please can you make sure you actually run the code before making a PR" because my superiors won't can him.

You should see the rest of the movie. Nic Cage essentially proves the existence of God by punching guys in the face.

I have an old Landrover and there is no lights except for the dials. Visibility to the outside is excellent. Some newer cars allow you to dim the info console and the some of the instruments but they cannot be seen in the day light.

People say the headlamps on my model of Landrover is too low. But I had good visibility at night driving down country roads. The side lights are useless though.

I swear most of these pages is to sell this to companies so they can force it onto developers.

The whole webpage looks like something from Apple.

> It's silly to the reader (and especially to an adult reader) but it's also obvious why this was present: the comic was meant for kids, and also Marvel never know when they might be getting a brand new reader who is totally unfamiliar with the character.

The same was present in any serials such as Conan.

There is a description of Conan and where he comes from, how black his hair is, how manly he, how he is the "noble savage "etc. every story.

Conan is definitely not for children. It verges on erotica in many of the stories e.g. in one story there is a older woman whipping a younger teenage girl while tied up and it is made known to the reader the teenage girl is "young" with the implication that she is probably 14 or 15.

Also every Conan story typically ends up with him using sheer overwhelming aggression to defeat super natural entities and then escape with the girl.

I with there was more "King Conan" stuff. But it is a property that Hollywood doesn't really understand.

I really enjoyed the Mothman Prophecies (only watched it recently) because you were really never sure if the Characters involved weren't suffering from some sort of mental illness, or if things were just an unfortunate series of events. It also has a bunch of trippy visual effects in there that don't appear to be CGI.

My friend and I had a completely different interpretations of what happened in the final act. Well worth watching the movie.

It drives me insane. I don't mind if there is a reminder of what happened like a season ago, but often it is literally the episode before.

The gadgets were often used several scenes later, or much later and integrated with the other action with Blade.

> Then Nicolas Cage's character, the hero, comes out. He gives a toss of his luxurious hair (must've been smuggling Pantene in his "prison pocket"), everything goes slo-mo, and I swear to you, a beam of holy light falls on him like he's Simba from The Lion King.

Don't forget the scene near the end where he says to Bubba (I think at least that is his name), "I will show you that God exists", and in almost every other movie it is left upto interpretation whether God is really protecting/guiding the hero.

However in Conair, Cyrus shoots at him at point blank range and I think every bullet misses and/or grazes him. As he is walking through the plane to finally confront Cyrus there is a number of events that should kill him e.g a propeller flies through the fuselage and narrowly misses him and kills Jonny 23. There is really no other way to interpret it other than Nicolas Cage is very literally demonstrating that God exists.

The movie is not subtle about anything. It was the last "All American" action movie, where the hero beats everyone by just punching them harder and believing in Jesus. I quite like it.

> People don't have an expectation of that. The number one rule of movie making used to be "Show, don't tell"

I am aware that it is supposed to be like that however around the 90s/2000s this changed.

> With the rise of streaming this changed. People "watch" movies while chatting on their phones, doing home chores etc. A lot of movies in the streaming era spell everything out because people no longer watch the screens.

This was in a movie theatre and this was still in the era where it was considered rude to be speaking on chatting on the phone in the cinema.

I would argue that it is the opposite. People expect an info dump and everything explained to them. I remember watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier (I think it was the last movie I watched in theatre) and pretty much everything was explained to the audience. Guy Richie has character intro screens like Street Fighter in his movies.

Even in movies where everything is explained e.g. in Blade where they will have a scene where someone explains how a weapon works, I've noticed in a recent viewing of the movie that people forgot the explanations of the gadgets he has. In Blade they have a James Bond / Q like conversation between the characters to say "this weapons does X against vampires" and sets the weapon for later on in the movie and people forgot about it.

I watched "The Mothman Prophecies" and quite a lot of the movie was up to interpretation and there was many small things in the film that you might overlook e.g. there is a scene in a mirror where the reflection in the mirror is out of sync with his movements, suggesting something supernatural is occurring and he hasn't realised it yet. While I love the movie, there is very few movies like that.

If you watch movies before the 90s. A huge number of movies will have characters communicate efficiently and often realistically.
