Appeared in the Seattle Star on Sept 10, 1914, 110 years ago today. https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/wa/batch_wa_lacamas_ver01/data/sn87093407/0020029063A/1914091001/0300.pdf I thought they had morphine back then, maybe they didn't give him enough.

tbh this is an "okay" but not really great film. The film's about the conflict between a corrupt Carribean governor and a ship of pirates. It's mostly interesting because [James Earl Jones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Earl_Jones) (RIP) is in it.  He must have been around 44 when this was filmed. He'd been winning awards on Broadway and had been getting movie roles here and there. He would have been doing the voice of Darth Vader around the time this came out and then in the 80s and 90s his career really took off.  In this movie he plays a supporting role, but gets a decent amount of screen time. Anyway, the movie bombed so it's usually forgotten. I just thought of it because of his passing -- he seems to be having a good time in the movie, or maybe he was just acting. (another James Earl Jones role posted previously is in: Conan the Barbarian: https://lemm.ee/post/36207082)

From the Seattle Star September 9, 1914 -- 110 years ago today. https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/wa/batch_wa_lacamas_ver01/data/sn87093407/0020029063A/1914090901/0292.pdf On this day 110 years ago, the Imperial German forces began their general retreat from their major offensive into France which had led to the [First Battle of the Marne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Battle_of_the_Marne). The [Schlieffen Plan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieffen_Plan) had failed. It's hard to get a sense of the amount of death that WWI brought, but here's a thought. The First Battle of the Marne had killed or seriously wounded well over half a million people. And in the US in 1910, [only 5 cities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_populous_cities_in_the_United_States_by_decade#1910) had significantly more than half a million people. Just this one battle at the start of WWI was roughly equivalent to Cleveland, Baltimore, or Pittsburgh in that era being wiped out by a modern nuclear device. Meanwhile in the US, Everett True was getting annoyed by a man jingling his change. Get some perspective, E!

 > A couple of lovable, degenerate Juggalos must sojourn through America's hellish underbelly to The Gathering of the Juggalos, the one place on earth they feel accepted. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12245606/ It's an independent movie, but fairly well-shot, -written, and -acted, and surprisingly heartwarming.

 It's the 80s in England and there's this kid who's getting picked on at at school, and he's walking home and he makes some friends. Nice guys, but they all shave their heads.

Pretty soon the kid's hanging out in good-times montages.  Everything's going great, but then their old pal gets out of prison. Next thing you know, things are getting kind of tense, and people are making political speeches and going on racist rants and having to pick sides.

 This is a TV movie about a high-school girl who has a problem with alcohol. It's not a bad example of the "[after school special](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_school_special)" genre, but it's mainly interesting because of the actors in it. [Mark Hamill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hamill) plays the boyfriend of the main character. This was a couple years before Star Wars (and far, far away from the abominations that Disney would later produce). [Linda Blair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Blair) plays the main character; she'd recently starred in The Exorcist, had been doing a number of supporting roles in films, and would go on to make a series of horror films. Other actors of interest include [Larry Hagman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Hagman) who had a number of other successful TV roles such as "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Dallas", and [William Daniels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Daniels) who did the voice of KITT the talking car in Knight Rider.

This cartoon was printed 110 years ago today on September 1, 1914. World War 1 was in progress, though it wasn't called that yet. On the Western Front, Imperial Germany's invasion was underway and the French and British armies had [been in retreat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Retreat) for almost a week. Among the engagements of this day was [a skirmish near Néry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affair_of_N%C3%A9ry), where a dismounted British cavalry division fought a dismounted German cavalry division. The outnumbered British forces prevailed, and three British soldiers were later awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross. The French and British forces continued to retreat, but they were doing so in an orderly manner, and in a few days they would be ready to counterattack in [one of the most significant battles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Battle_of_the_Marne) of the century. Meanwhile, in rapidly-urbanizing America, Everett True was beginning to wonder if cars were a good idea after all.

 > Rocky III holds a score of 66% rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes based on 44 reviews, with an average of 5.7/10. The film's consensus reads, "It's noticeably subject to the law of diminishing returns, but Rocky III still has enough brawny spectacle to stand in the ring with the franchise's better entries". ... Gene Siskel gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four and wrote, "Sorry to say this, but there's not anything new in Rocky III, and we sit there wondering why it exists." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_III OK, I'll tell you why it exists.  A. [Hulk Hogan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan). Sure, the guy's made racist, homophobic, and pro-Trump comments. But this movie came out before any of that, and every second he's on screen is magic.  B. [Mr. T](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._T). I pity the fool who hasn't seen him in action. Playing a character with as much personality as Clubber Lang takes effort, hard-earned skill, and raw talent. C. Carl Weathers as [Apollo Creed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Creed), teaming up with Rocky, lending him his boxer shorts, taking him to train in LA and dropping some fundamental knowledge including: D. [The Eye of the Tiger](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob8TNqQw2hY). The king of all training montage sountracks. If you're preparing for something and this comes on, you know you can't fail. There's also a fun "Rocky being successful" montage where he goes on the Muppet Show and poses with motorcycles while Clubber Lang prepares to beat him down. And some great supporting roles from Burt Young and Burgess Meredith. Besides that, sure, it's a formula Rocky film but there's nothing wrong with that. *When someone praises Reddit on Lemmy*:  - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x91wziq - the link from above - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x902lne - Spanish dub - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8vkam4 - Portuguese dub **BONUS FILM** Over the Top (1987) - Stallone plays a trucker single father who bonds with his kid over the sport of arm-wrestling - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyVokX7JnEU (360p) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-BBgKzcWO8 (1440p) - another link, this one's higher-res visually but the other one has better sound, go figure - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Top_(1987_film)

Framework Laptop Community Rolando • 1 month ago • 100%

Hi, I was thinking of getting a Framework 13 and putting Linux on it. So I was looking at the [Ubuntu installation instructions](https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Ubuntu+24.04+LTS+Installation+on+the+Framework+Laptop+13/331) and it says a "Storage Expansion Card" is required to install. I click "view" to see what that is, and [the item page](https://guides.frame.work/Item/Storage_Expansion_Card) says it's a 250GB Type. The URL provided goes to a dead link, but I think that means a "250GB (2nd Gen) Storage Expansion Card" for $45 on the configuration page. I've installed Ubuntu before, but I just used a plain USB stick, and the instructions aren't clear on whether that's enough or whether I need to use their specific drive for some reason. So my question is: when I'm configuring a Framework 13, do I need to add a 250GB expansion card, or can I just use a USB stick that I already have (to install Ubuntu)? Thanks.

Average Lemmy enjoyer:  Not to be confused with Conan the Barbarian, which was [posted here earlier](https://lemmy.world/post/17206625). This is the sequel, which was somewhat less popular but not, to my mind, overly inferior. This time around there's a quest to get a thing and take it somewhere, and Conan assembles a party of adventurers to take care of it, and of course there's slaying and jumping and screaming and trickery galore.

 Long before Inception there was Dreamscape, in which psychics use technology to enter people's dreams. The budget was modest and the acting is only serviceable, but the basic story is reasonably well-developed, and it was a new idea at the time. Fun Facts: > According to author Roger Zelazny, the film developed from an initial outline that he wrote in 1981, based in part upon his novella "He Who Shapes" and 1966 novel The Dream Master. He was not involved in the project after 20th Century Fox bought his outline. Because he did not write the film treatment or the script, his name does not appear in the credits; assertions that he removed his name from the credits are unfounded.[4] The music score is by French composer Maurice Jarre. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamscape_(1984_film) - the link from above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw8Ty_4boDY (480p) - look for an invidious interface: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=mw8Ty_4boDY - alternate link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3vcSLNH_94 (360p)

It was a widespread critical and commercial success, grossing $125 million worldwide against a $12 million budget. At the 56th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for three Oscars, including Best Original Screenplay. ... WarGames is credited with popularizing concepts of computer hacking, information technology, and cybersecurity in wider American society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames It also helped popularize the concept of computer gaming, which was still in its early days back then. Specifically, by showing that they could be more than arcade-style games like Galaga, and be more sophisticated interactive simulations. And while there had been several movies with AI characters in it before, this was the first one that involved needing to teach an AI, in a way that resonates with later machine-learning approaches. Also, the whole concept of someone who was "really into computers", and who might thereby influence the world, was still very new.  - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x93117c the link from above - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x929m0q another copy? - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8zdk1a German dub RIP Dabney Coleman, btw. 

 This is the best film about a 13th century zen master that you're likely to see in a while. OK, maybe that's too specific. Anyway, if you're at all interested in Asian history or Buddhism, this is for you. > Russell Edwards of Variety described it as "The origins of a spiritual tradition are depicted with prerequisite solemnity and a pleasing veneer of arthouse showmanship."[5] Mark Schilling, writing for The Japan Times, gave the film three and a half stars and described it as a "rare serious film about this form of Buddhism, which has had a huge cultural influence but is little understood — let alone practiced — by ordinary Japanese." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_(2009_film) In Japanese and Chinese, with English subtitles: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wSMeO3zoq4 (720p) - this is the link from above - https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=5wSMeO3zoq4 - look for an Invidious version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6XS3_D92FY (480p) - another copy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDI4CAwTJ1c (480p) - another copy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Yv0I_Q9X0 (480p) - another copy, blurry In Japanese and Chinese, with Spanish subtitles: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Te8DH_Eorg (720p) - subtitles are not embedded, you have to select "CC" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGozjQO_1_I (240p) - the aspect ratio is compressed (the image is "squashed") In Japanese and Chinese, with French subtitles: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2k0q9eTLxI (240p) subtitles are not embedded, you have to select "CC" Besides, the following image deserves to be a reaction meme:

Average Lemmy enjoyer:  Yippee-ki-yay, motherfuckers, it's Christmas in July! > Die Hard follows New York City police detective John McClane (Willis) who is caught up in a terrorist takeover of a Los Angeles skyscraper while visiting his estranged wife. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Hard One of the reasons this movie has endured is because it's so well written. Exposition is handled smoothly (through various natural conversations), minor characters are personalized briefly and efficiently, and the suspense just doesn't let up. Another reason is Alan Rickman. 

 > Zulu is a 1964 British epic adventure action war film depicting the Battle of Rorke's Drift between a detachment of the British Army and the Zulu in 1879, during the Anglo-Zulu War, in which 150 British soldiers, 30 of whom were sick and wounded, at a remote outpost, held off a force of 4,000 Zulu warriors. > > ... By 2007, critics were divided over whether the movie should be seen as deeply anti-imperialist or as racist.[32] ... In 2010, Alex von Tunzelmann of The Guardian gave the film a grade of B, saying: "The Zulus are a mystery, the Welsh are misplaced, a Victoria Cross recipient is slandered, and no one has enough facial hair. Nonetheless, Zulu is a brilliantly made dramatisation of Rorke's Drift, and it does a fine job of capturing the spirit for which the battle is remembered." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulu_(1964_film) tbh I found it hard to empathize with the British. But it was interesting to watch two-rank and three-rank volley fire being executed, especially as compared to the Zulu rifle use. (Although note there are [limits to the historical accuracy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulu_(1964_film)#Historical_accuracy) of the film.) There was also a class conflict theme between the two British officers, one an upper-class "inheritor" of his post, the other a military engineering officer who achived his post more meritocratically. And of course there were distinctions between the English, the Welsh, the Boers, and their allied "native contingent". Overall, this movie is great as a starting point to inspire further reading, less so as a work that makes a worthwhile point by itself.
