• archive.org = lots of films

    From Ogg@VERT/CAPCITY2 to All on Sat Feb 24 18:46:00 2024
    I have been somewhat familiar with archive.org in the past, but
    by some seredipity/chance/fluke or whatever, I happened to look
    for classic hollywood films and discovered that there are quite
    lot available for download! I was particularily impressed with
    the colourized versions of some familiar classics. I liked
    that they even have a category for film noir (a favourite
    genre). Overall, the archive.org seems better and more
    organized since the last time I dropped by several years ago.

    The new series "Monsieur Spade" is making me want to go back and watch
    some of the old black and white noir films, especially The Big Sleep
    and the Maltese Falcon.

    There was a poll on Reddit about favorite Noir films. I had to throw in
    "Body Heat" as neo-noir.

    What archive.org is great at is storing stuff that is very hard to find from official sources.

    Stuff like Rock Odyssey, for example, which never got official theatrical releases and was aired once or twice in Europe. For years, it only survived in the tapes of home viewers who had bothered to record the TV broadcast when emitted. Now archive.org ensuers it is available.

    Thanks, it is a old movie that I remember seeing 60 years ago.
    I think the movie was from the 1930 era.
    Don't think YT would have it.
    What is popular with Me isn't currently popular.

    Many years ago I saw a clip from the movie "The Milkman" starring Jimmy Durante and Donald O'Conner.
    I mentioned it in FIDO Memories echo .
    Another person later said it wasn't on YT when he looked.
    I went back to the Bookmark and saw a note that Universal asked YT to remove it.

    Youtube is definitely not what I would use to look for specific movies (there are other sites for that), but that Reddit has links to interesting ones that get posted from time to time. Many of them do not stay on there for long.
    It's just something for when you're curious and might want "random".

    I think every worker except those in sales are on a fixed income each year until yearly pay raise time.

    Thanks earlier for Your post about The Milkman movie.
    I searched on DDG and saw many results for the search.
    Made me wonder if the Shopping Malls still have stores selling VCR movies.

    Piece work is another job that pays the employee according to how many pieces are worked on.
    As a Router operator I put holes in wood pieces according to the pattern the designers wanted.
    Round holes, larger round holes, triangular holes etc.

    Every piece was worked on in the shortest time during an hour would rise the hourly pay scale .

    Slower employees were paid less due to not processing as much material on their shift..
    I was a new employee and hadn't learned how to speed up working on a board without leaving blimishes the Sanding Crew would have to give more attention to Since pay wasn't hourly I wasn't paid as much as more experienced workers were. Hence I quit and went looking for some other work where I was paid on an hourly scale.

    like most sites, imdb got taken over by a bunch of opinionated user dicks.

    I wrote " piece work" to You because I had just finished a post to You about Sales People don't have a Fixed Income.
    And my thinking most folks who work a 40 hour week have a Fixed Income except once a year pay raises.

    It was my way of tacking a add-on to the message I wrote.
    You had written something asking if I was on a fixed income and I answered that I thought most workers are on a fixed income.

    I recently noticed that TV-14 movies sometimes got really RANK.
    So I go to IMDB to see what the Movie Rating for the show is.
    I see lots of those TV-14 shows are Rated R at IMDB.

    I have a Amateur Radio License, in Part 97 Rules and Regulations foul language is forbidden.
    But Public Television has begun allowing "Common" Foul Language in shows instead of muteing it.
    They mute some but not all of it.
    They even blur the picture in some scenes sometimes when the action gets too rank.
    I wonder when the FCC will allow TV Stations or Networks to broadcast worse language over the air.

    But like any rule, it does seem to get broken a lot. Check out stations in CA to get plenty of examples.

    They even blur the picture in some scenes sometimes when the action gets too rank.

    "Rank" is rather subjective. If PBS feels there's objectional material, specify it before it starts, like other stations do. Let the viewer decide.

    But like any rule, it does seem to get broken a lot. Check out stations in CA to get plenty of examples.

    "Rank" is rather subjective. If PBS feels there's objectional material, specify it before it starts, like other stations do. Let the viewer decide.

    PBS, I helped someone connect a Closed Caption box to their TV set years ago. The set was tuned to a local Educational station showing some people walking in the forest.
    One person stumbled and said a expletive and the CC box displayed the word uttered.

    For some reason this Android phone won't let me enter 73 without IT removing the 3 spaces I entered after - - . . .

    There is always something or someone to keep me humble, this time it is a Android Phone.

    I'd be curious what apps those are. I have yet to see any Android app that I think is better than a similar app on a desktop computer.

    MRO, It must be the same problem I have with my car.
    There is a Loose Nut behind the Steering Wheel.

    Since getting this phone I've only added two apps to it
    NoScript and The Online Bible.

    I'm still a Amateur at using this Android phone.
    I would be too if I selected an iPhone to use.
    My only experience with a MacIntosh Computer was with the original and learning to eject a 3.5 Floppy Disc It wanted me to send it to the Trash.
    That was strange to my way of thinking.

    I forgot that Firefox and DuckDuckGo are called apps.
    Those two were the first things I asked the Store employee to put on the Android phone when I was there to get a cellphone from them.

    I know Android OS is a Google product but wanted NoScript to limit Google and Amazon products to the Default setting when I visited a page.
    Only Temporarily Allow those when the page REALLY need it to let me see or do what the page is for.

    dont know what you mean by default setting and temporarily allow. I think it's on your phone but doing nothing.

    if you want full control over that google stuff you need to root your phone and make changes.

    if you want a decent safe browser i suggest you get brave browser on your android phone.
