One of the Pink Panther films (Return of the Pink Panther I think) with Peter Sellers where he is standing in his apartment and hears a sawing sound and can't place it, so he hyperventilates to copy the sound (thinking it's breathing) only to find his assistant is cutting a hole in the floor, which he falls through.

 

Hilarious! IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072081/

Brody: Smile you son of a BITCH. :laugh:

[shoots at the air tank]

Brody: [Jaws blows up]

[brody laughs manaically]

Brody: You're gonna need a bigger boat.

There are more but that's all I had time to put in :) Off to work!

The ring dropping to the floor toward the end of "The Sixth Sense."

The beach cabin scene in "Road to Perdition."

Bar scene with a vengeful William Munny in "The Unforgiven."

The L.A. bank robbery shootout in "Heat."

Scene:

----

From Charlie Kaufman's Adaptation:

INT. AUDITORIUM - LATER

McKee scribbles a diagram onto a transparency in an overhead

projector. It's some kind of complicated time-line with act-

breaks and corresponding page numbers indicated. The

audience members take copious notes. Kaufman sweats.

KAUFMAN (V.O.)

It is my weakness, my ultimate lack of

conviction that brings me here with all

these desperate idiots lapping up

everything this bag of wind spouts. Easy

answers. Rules to short-cut yourself to

success. And here I am, because my jaunt

into the abyss brought me nothing. Well,

isn't that the risk one takes for

attempting something new. I should leave

here right now. I'll start over --

(starts to rise)

I need to face this project head on and --

MCKEE

... and God help you if you use voice-

over in your work, my friends.

Kaufman stops, looks up, startled. McKee seems to be looking

at him.

MCKEE

God f***ing help you! It's flaccid,

sloppy writing. Any idiot can write

voice-over narration to explain the

thoughts of a character. You must

present the internal conflicts of your

character in image, in symbol. Film is a

medium of movement and image.

----

It's not really a scene per say, but more a quote:

"Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of

what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every

choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. But

maybe you won't know for twenty years. And you'll never ever trace it

to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and

figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there

is: it's what you create. Even though the world goes on for eons and

eons, you are here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of

your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you

wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look

from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or

it seems to but doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague

regret or vaguer hope for something good to come along. Something to

make you feel connected, to make you feel whole, to make you feel

loved. And the truth is I'm so angry and the truth is I'm so ****ing

sad, and the truth is I've been so ****ing hurt for so ****ing long and

for just as long have been pretending I'm OK, just to get along, just

for, I don't know why, maybe because no one wants to hear about my

misery, because they have their own, and their own is too overwhelming

to allow them to listen to or care about mine. Well, **** everybody.

Amen."- Said by the minister in Synecdoche, New York, again, by Charlie Kaufman.

Charlie Kaufman remains to be one of my favorite screen playists of all time.

The mist ending and the part in pulp fiction when the dude get his head blown off in the car.

How did The Mist end in the movie?

In the short story it ended with everyone trapped in the grocery store and no apparent end in sight to the 'event.'

The "Mexican" standoff and the end of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

The "ear" scene in Reservoir Dogs. I can't hear Stuck in the Middle with You without doing Michael Madsen's little dance.

Rutger Hauer's death speech at the end of Bladerunner. Hauer always has great death scenes, it must be in his contract somewhere.

The opening scene of Wings of Desire.

Alec Guinness' walk from the box to see the camp commander in The Bridge on the River Kwai.

Gregory Peck and David Niven's argument over what to do with the traitor in the Guns of Navarone.

The Normandy assault scene at the start of Saving Private Ryan.

Portman and Braff's kiss in Garden State. (so sue me)

When the Bride fights the crazy 88 in Kill Bill.

The top of Devil's Tower in Close Encounter.

The Battle of Hornburg (Helm's Deep) in LOTR: Two Towers.

The Chopper ride in Apocalypse Now.

The final salon scene in Unforgiven.

I could go on. But I don't think the best films really have standout scenes.

from a chinese movie Young and Dangerous III when Ekin's girlfriend gets shot right in front of him

...favorite fanboi scene

Star Wars ep II when Yoda fights with a lightsaber

from Serendipity when he gets the book with the girls phone number in it

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
