I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I can’t get it to run. I get an error message reading “Popcorn-Time” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin. I can’t diagnose anything sensible from the Console. What am I doing wrong?
Well yes, but also it varies… on IBM AS/400 machines running OS/400 (currently iSeries if I’m not mistaken) the file system is basically a database and commands basically parse queries.
BeOS squinted so hard its native file system BeFS came out as an impressionist painting: the live metadata made it very database-like in behaviour with live search results (back in the mid nineties) but fairly lacklustre “actual file system” credentials.
Sounded like Italy. Same exact situation. The interbank payment consortium even created a cashless payment system called “Satispay” that lots of consumers and small retail businesses use on a daily basis.
Nostalgic BeOS user here and I can absolutely relate. BeOS enshrined the design epitome of the time — nineties cartoonish icons and draggable yellow tabs on windows — and ran rings around existing software on similar hardware. BeOS was multithreaded and was designed from the ground up to support multiprocessor architectures at a time when even true preemptive multitasking, well-understood though it was, wasn’t implemented in the predominant consumer OSes of the time (pre-95 Windows and Classic MacOS). I keep trying to imagine a future in which Apple had acquired BeOS and had used that as the basis for their next-generation OS rather than purchasing NeXT and going the route that they took but Apple lacking the Second Coming of Steve Jobs is such an imponderable I cannot really draw any even wildly speculative conclusions as to how things might’ve played out…
I liked it too. There's a bit near the start where one of the characters makes some comment with slightly awkward-sounding wording; I forget what, precisely, but it was exactly the sort of thing you'd expect from a modern English speaker fluffing an attempt to stay in character as a Victorian or whatever. They even sounded a bit like they were half-realising this as they were saying it.
I put it down to a mistake that they didn't have time to fix. But then, given the ending, I realised it must have been deliberate.
This film gets bashed often but I remember seeing it in the cinema when it was released and I absolutely adored it, and still do. I’ve ’inflicted’ it on several friends and acquaintances — and keep in mind I’m no M. Night Shyamalan fan having never seen Unbrekable and having walked out of the cinema midway through The Last Airbender that I hold to be one of the worst films ever. Anyway back to The Village: its scenery and ambiance were absolutely perfect. The twist was pure genius.
It's one of my favorite movies. I love movies or books that get me thinking "what the hell is going on" until in the end there's a twist where it now all makes sense.
I remember liking it a lot, I didn't see the twist coming even though the guy was known at the time for having a twist in his films. I liked how it wasn't just about a "gotcha" but revealed character motivations and how people try to retreat from the world due to trauma, and the lengths parents go to protect their children. I bet it would hit harder if I watched it now that I have children.
The film didn't work for me, because I didn't realise the "twist" was supposed to be a twist. I had assumed it from the start and was expecting the reverse to be the twist.
