I know we have quite a few movie aficionados here. But this is going to be a toughie as I don't remember much info. The movie was made in the late '60s to the early to mid '70s.

The movie was set in the '60s, prior to the war in 'Nam. But it was centered around this diner and the friends that hung out there. One of the guys who acted in this movie was the guy you see in Apocalypse Now, who is wearing a Hawaiian shirt and is going A.W.O.L. He wore glasses and looked kind of geeky.

This movie came out before Apoc Now and a few of the guys in Apoc Now were also in the movie I'm trying to think of. Plus they played the same parts.

Anyways, I know that isn't much info, but hopefully someone can help me figure it out as our tax return will be hitting our bank acct on the 5th.

A'Now came out in 1979, and the closest diner film I remember was Barry Levinson's classic Diner in 1982. Before that was Bus Stop in 1956.

There have been quite a few with memorable diner scenes, one of my favs being Jack Nicholson's famous rant in Five Easy Pieces.

That wasn't it. This movie came out before Apoc Now. I also remember all those beautiful classic cars.

If several of the actors in Apocalypse Now were in this film you could use IMDB to compare and match movies they were in.

I tried that. But couldn't find anything. Oh well. Hopefully I will figure it out before the 5th. Our tax return will hit our bank supposedly on that day. According to the IRS automated system.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
