With the changes to how OS 10.9 treats secondary displays I was wondering if anyone had first hand experience with compatibility between the current Eno drivers and Mavericks.
For those who are unaware, this is a 5 and a half hour silent epic, considered Abel Gance's masterpiece with a flurry of fascinating early camera techniques involved. On that front, the film did not disappoint. It was positively thrilling to see such early, extravagant uses of the camera, very different to what most other contemporary directors were doing. One scene, which involved a handheld camera watching a girl praying to a tiny doll of Napoleon, looked like it could have been filmed yesterday. The use of the moving camera in shots made the whole world feel more 3D.
Then there's the polyvision, the placing of three cameras side by side to get an enthralling widescreen effect. Even though it's only for the last 20 minutes of the film, Gance used this technique to its fullest, overwhelming the viewer with symbolism and epic imagery. It's a pity, however, that to recreate polyvision on a regular Widescreen TV means shrinking those images. More than half my TV was black space above and below the image. I had to sit close to the TV just to make out what was going on. It would have been much more impressive in a specially-equipped theatre.
As impressive as the imagery was, I was less impressed with the concept of the film. Not knowing much about Napoleon, I was fascinated to learn more about his life, including the battle with Nelson and his banishing to Saint Helene... Well it turns out the film doesn't even touch that slightly. The whole film covers a 13 year period between 1783 and 1796, and nine of those years are skipped. When I realised, towards the end of the film, that we were running out of time for the rest of Napoleon's life to be discussed, I realised I was not seeing an impartial biopic, but a hagiography or perhaps even French propaganda. It made me wonder if Napoleon is seen as a positive figure by the modern French population, since his name is more often used now to describe someone as dictatorial and unwilling to listen to others.
But fine, Gance wanted to make a dedicated cinematic epic to his beloved historical hero. Why make it so long? His last film, La Roue, was 7 hours long, did he feel like Napoleon deserved the same? One definitely would think, with so much time on his hands, that Gance could have made a more comprehensive film about Napoleon's life, rather than just focus on 13 years out of 51.
Actually, the film really wasn't boring, for the most part. Split into two parts, the first 3-hour part was all relatively interesting,
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
