I'm not sure if the theme from Chariots of Fire or 2001 is better suited,,,

Chariots of Fire Slo Mo 😁

This is the only one I got on file.

I found that film very confusing at the end ?

The actual movie or this clip?

The white room

I always wondered if it spoke of my limitations that I didn't get it, or the simple fact that there really is nothing to get and people are just too busy being smug in their pretentiousness to admit that it doesn't mean much anything at all.

It seems to verge on meaning something, but even going to impressionistic route, eh. What we see might actually be the full depth of it, not much underneath. I found the movie to be a tad overrated.

Again, that might speak of my limitations. But everyone I've asked about it hasn't been able to tell me anything further about it either, just that there's something there. Well if I yawn in reaction, is that there too? It's a bit of a let down after such a slow buildup.

It was beyond me but I do like the psychopathic HAL

Well that's really the movie, the (unofficial) star of the show. We're supposed to be waiting for this 'greater truth' reveal, but it's the gradual build up of the psycho roller coaster intelligent computer gone rogue which is the real reason for watching it.

Answer you response the HAL here as string reached capacity:
It is quite something that Arthur C Clarke predicted the 'rise of the machines' in 1968

Meanwhile folks are debating the merits vs potential perils of AI, but continue on the path while it's talking kids into committing suicide and getting irritated at the notion of getting unplugged on a device.

How the Germans almost won WWI

He's not wearing his Picklehaube !

That would have been great.

I don't know why you deleted your previous response, but here was my reply:

"The Wooftwaffe

(wrong war, I know)"

I thought the 'picklehaube' was a better reply

The term "Luftwaffe" was not formally used for the German air service in World War I; instead, it was known as the Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte or Luftstreitkräfte (German Air Combat Forces) after 1916, having previously been the Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches (Imperial German Flying Corps). While the term "Luftwaffe" was in unofficial use late in the war, its official creation as an independent air force occurred in 1935

I know, had to make a pun 😁

Well I did point that it was the wrong war.

I do appreciate the extra info though. "Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches" is particularly fascinating. It has a nice ring to it. Try repeating that one 10 times quickly.

Luftstreitkräfte certainly has more kick to it than Luftwaffe. I liked it. I like it a lot.

I wonder if they have 'scrabble' in Germany ? 🤔

Oh my, it would be like Twister, but with eight arms.

Imagine if you were an octopus - Twister would be so easy 🐙

It would be like yawning for them

A lovely mental picture !

aye

hahaha
