Many of David Lynch’s films too, although none are out and out horror. They almost all have moments though - Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, Fire Walk With Me, Blue Velvet. Really insidious moments that just won’t leave you.
Blair Witch Project - many people would disagree, but I think it’s a masterpiece of fear.
Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17
I think if everyone has had a good time and it’s been a good atmosphere, it can be a fun way to round it off.
Eg I saw the South Park movie in the cinema, and the place was just rocking that night. Mostly a student crowd I think, very raucous laughter, almost more like a gig than a screening. The applause was huge, and it was only partly for the movie itself.
I’ve been to a few where it’s been like that (not quite like that, but not far off) and it’s always felt appropriate.
Other times I’ve seen it happen, and it’s been a bit weird, but I don’t mind it. I think it’s great that people enjoyed their experience enough to be pumped up enough to show it.
I’ve been to a few premières through a past job, so I don’t count those, nor ones where the filmmakers are present at the screening, as that’s just politeness, but I have seen it sometimes (UK)
Movies where I’ve seen this happen (and it felt right):
South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
Grosse Pointe Blank
Goodfellas
The Big Lebowski
Stop Making Sense (special open air screening which was set up like a gig - they even had support acts!)
Ghostbusters
The Room
Aliens
All three LOTR movies
In most cases these were either screenings with a big student crowd, or retrospective screenings which will always bring out the fans, and the atmosphere was really positive, so the applause felt, like a collective acknowledgement of, “How fucking great was THAT?!”
It’s a bit odd to see it at other times, but if someone has had that good a time at a movie, then great! I’m certainly not going to have a problem with it :-)
Hell yeah! That’s one of mine too - when I saw it it was at the Edinburgh Film Festival and they set it up like a concert - open air screening, support acts, a bar and food kiosks in sight of the screen, standing only. It was amazing.
It’s very much aimed at kids, but you might enjoy Sarah and Duck, it has some similarities IMO. It’s upbeat and fun, and just a little bit weird, with some strange world logic. And it’s brilliantly narrated by Roger Allam.
Im having difficulty finding names I like. I need two - three names that roll off the tongue and wouldn’t be out of place with a long hyphenated surname....
Bit late to this, OP, but you might want to check out Jim White, and especially his first album The Mysterious Tale of How I Shouted Wrong Eyed Jesus. It’s not rock exactly, more alt-folk, but it’s definitely Southern and it’s thoughtful, fun stuff.
The building represents Malcolm Canmore’s tower (a local historical site) the curvy line represents a small river or burn running through the town, and the green area at the bottom represents Pittencrief Park, a large public park gifted to the town by Andrew Carnegie (who was born in Dunfermline).
It can also be interpreted as a visual representation of the meaning of the town’s name itself - from Wikipedia:
There have been various interpretations of the name, “Dunfermline”. The first element, “dun” translated from Gaelic, has been accepted as a (fortified) hill, and is assumed to be referring to the rocky outcrop at the site of Malcolm Canmore’s Tower in Pittencrieff Glen (now Pittencrieff Park). The rest of the name is problematic. The second element, the “ferm” may have been an alternative name for the Tower Burn according to a medieval record published in 1455 which, together with the Lyne Burn to the south, suggests the site of a fortification between these two watercourses.
A lot of club badges will have similar historical references if that’s your thing :-)
If it’s to persuade the alien of the value of humanity, I’d probably go with The Lark Ascending by Vaughn Williams. It’s beautiful, and also 15 minutes long, giving us some time to think of a plan in case they don’t like it.
If it’s just, what’s your favourite song, it’d be So. Central Rain by R.E.M.
I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...
Even if nothing comes of it, even if no policy is changed, it’s still important for people to (peacefully) express their opposition to something they disagree with, rather than meekly accept whatever their government does.
This applies to any such protest, not just today’s.
It’s also important that they get out and vote for change when they have a chance.
IIRC, Windows key and Up arrow will maximize it. Not aware of a way to snap a window to the top without it changing size. Would be pretty cool.
You might want to check out Windows PowerToys and specifically Fancy Zones. You can create your own areas to snap windows into. Still not quite what you’re looking for but might provide an alternative approach.
For the past few weeks I’ve been working on creating my own public radio station (it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid). Well now it’s up and running but I don’t know what to do with it.

I am in one of those walking boot cast things for the foreseeable future. I bought sharpies to decorate it so it isn't as terrible. How should I decorate it?
I’ll probably be in the boot until at least February. It has to be work appropriate because I’ll be back at the office part time starting next month
