What is your favorite movie to code to?

After that, I'll allow you to code with the movie playing on your third screen.

Oh thank you, Master! May I drink a soda while I do so, or must it be Evian?

You may drink whatever you wish.

Your benevolence knows no bounds.

Thank you. Which of my movie recommendations are you going to start with first (with drink in hand)?

What makes you think your advice carries any weight with me?

The fact is, they're all horribe movies to code to. You admit yourself that they require a decent amount of attention.

The answer to the question can be answered logically through a series of questions.

Question #1: Is 2001: A Space Odyssey a movie worth watching (assuming you've seen it properly, or seen it at all, in it's 2.35:1 aspect ratio on a reasonably sized screen)?

They do require attention.

No need for all of that. You're a pretentious ass. Your opinion carries exactly zero weight with me.

It sounds like you're getting all bent out of shape for no reason. It seems you might have trouble distinguishing between someone having fun and someone ordering someone around. What part of "After that, I'll allow you to code with the movie playing on your third screen" do you actually take as a command that needs be obeyed?

The takeaway: you're letting your own animosities get in the away of experiencing new cinema. In a sense, you've given me power over you - I need merely recommend anything excellent and know that your life experience will be lessened because you refuse to take an interest in something new precisely because I recommended it.

Imagine if you hadn't read some works by Neal Stephenson. I could recommend Cryptonomicon, and you'd refuse to read it on the grounds of me recommending it. Sad.

If you'd actually answer the question (about 2001) and follow through with subsequent questions posed to you, you might see exactly how you're missing out because of your stubborn attitude.

I'm not missing out on anything. As I said, your opinion carries zero weight with me. Not positive, not negative. Zero.

Whenever you claim that the content of someone else's statements are of zero significance, you are in effect plugging your ears, which is your choice. In such cases, you actually can't attach any merit one way or another to the information flow passing by your ears, and thus you will remain completely ignorant of what you might be missing. Thus, you cannot make the claim that you're not missing out on anything.

So in effect, you neither know whether you're missing out on anything, and to boot, your statement is logically fallacious.

Happy ignorance to you.

Happy ignorance to you.

Seeing as how it's ignorance of your opinion, yes, it is indeed quite happy.

But all is not lost, little shmuckling! You can convince me your opinion is worth listening to. It won't be easy, given how hard you have worked over the years to convince me otherwise. But it can be done. The first step is to convince me you're not a total douche-bag. Stuff like "After that, I'll allow you to code with the movie playing on your third screen" acts contrary to that goal, btw.

Good luck!

Ummm...

You can take whatever you wish out of a post. It's up to you.

If you would all get off this forum and start coding you'd be finished by now.

I like Hair the Musical or A Clockwork Orange. Rocky Horror Picture Show if I'm really stuck on one Java line and I can't invoke class.
