Did you use Windows 7 or 10? I have been doing some research and it looks like a lot of the VHS to DVD/PC programs don't work with 10. Ten years ago I had an HP entertainment laptop that could record directly, I'm almost considering purchasing an older laptop and running the older windows program just to get it to work.

The actual legit ezcap is actually good and I believe works in Win10 with a bunch of different programs. There's a million knock-offs of it though so you have got to order from one of the company's actual stores - http://www.ezcap.tv/ezcap-usa-orders edit - uh for some reason it's really expensive on their stores right now. It's usually around 30 bucks so I'm not sure what's going on there.

I'm watching Dr. Strangelove right now. Not my first time, but this is the first time I've noticed the presence of chewing gum... what's with that?

Throughout the scenes in the War Room, he is chewing gum, occasionally adding another stick to the large wad stuffed into his cheek. This oral fixation, which mirrors Ripper’s devotion to cigars, denotes Turgidson’s immature nervousness in Muffley’s presence, and his furious chewing reveals his petulant frustration at being chastised.

That is funny. It's been a few years since I've seen this, but now that I think of it, the black humor and nobody knowing what the gently caress nature of this movie reminds me of Burn After Reading.

I'm considering doing an effortpost in CD. 1. If I upload a bunch (30+) of short clips from a single movie (anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes) to youtube, will that account get nuked pretty quickly? I'd like to do some gifs and clips to put in the thread but I don't know how actively that sort of thing gets C&D'd. 2. What is a good application for ripping short clips from a DVD and making them into either youtube ready video clips or gifs?

Before actually sitting down and watch Strangelove, I had no idea of how sexually charged the whole movie is.

Grifter posted:I'm considering doing an effortpost in CD. 1. Maybe. It probably would depend on the movie. You can use http://www.vid.me and don't label it and it would probably stay up. 2. VOB2MPG will get it off the DVD to a mpeg file. Then you can edit that with VirtualDub and export to gif or avi.

Freemake was what I have used for DVD clips for years (I have to do it for classes all the time). It's basically one click to rip, two clicks to clip. I think you might need to pay to do it without a watermark now, though.

In The Big Lebowski, after Maude refers Lebowski to a doctor, the next scene is him pumped in his car punching the ceiling. Did he go to the doctor and get a handjob? Thanks in advance

Magic Hate Ball posted:What's the implication there, anyways? I haven't seen it in forever but I never quite understood what was meant to have happened. The doctor asks him to slide his shorts down. He either did a prostate exam or checked for an inguinal hernia and told him to turn and cough. Then he's listening to CCR's "dude dude dude lookin' out my back door" So yeah it was implied to be butt stuff.

Maude sends him to the doctor to check him out, probably for STDs, since she wants a kid and wants to be sure The Dude is in good health. Might have been some butt stuff, too.

Could have been butt stuff. Probably was. But it's not clear to me why he would have been in such an apparently good mood after that unless it's just that the CCR peps him up. Maude sends him to the doc on a flimsy pretext, and he gets checked out not guessing her ulterior motive until he asks her why she's sticking her knees up after sex and then does a fairly respectable spit take when she tells him. But I'm pretty sure the doc couldn't have taken a sperm sample. That would have tipped the Dude off immediately, which obviously didn't happen. Bottom line, I don't think we're meant to think about it that closely.

I think he just likes CCR. I don't think an old Indian man jerking him off would have been very exciting for him.

I assumed it was a prostate exam because Maude tells the Dude a number of times that the doctor is "a good man, and thorough."

Besides, I would expect for something like that, the doc would just put him in a room alone for a little DIY project. So no big deal; he could do that at home, almost certainly to better effect, what with having a little weed and better atmosphere available.

Along those same lines it's sorta funny that The Dude has become the avatar of chill because he's high-strung and agitated for like 90% of the movie, including the ending after everything's been solved. "The Dude abides" is obvious fronting.

It's worth remembering that "abide" doesn't mean enjoy or prosper, but rather tolerate or endure. And you're not wrong, but he's still chiller than basically every other character in the movie.

The Big Lebowski is basically just a hardboiled/noir story except the detective is a constantly stoned slacker and like Spade or Marlowe or the Continental Op. the dude is a bit of an rear end in a top hat.

One could even say it endures :P I always got a vague feeling of Greek myth from The Big Lebowski. Like The Odyssey, or Jason and the Argonauts. The Dude is essentially going on a mundane and comical "hero's journey". edit: ^ I should have said "almost" instead of "basically".

Seeing that cop is probably the first time I saw in a movie a cop not giving a poo poo about solving a crime, it was a real wake up call.

Keep in mind we're not seeing him in his usual element for said 90% of the movie, though. We're watching him deal with some serious poo poo, and he's still keeping it together with his joint and his CCR, when most of us would be freaking the hell out. He's pretty annoyed for a lot of the movie, but it's for pretty understandable reasons, and he raises his voice like twice in the entire movie (once when a ferret is attacking his junk, and once when he believes an innocent person is gonna die due to somebody else's fuckup). Is he pure Zen? No. But he's a whole gently caress of a lot closer than most of us. WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Aug 17, 2016 |

In The Big Sleep, what role did Owen Taylor, the chauffeur, play in the whole affair? Was he working for Carmen, killing Geiger to save her reputation? Or was he an opportunist, looking to blackmail Carmen himself? And in either case, who killed him? Joe Brody doesn't seem like the type capable of committing a murder, and Eddie Mars doesn't seem to have a motive.
