Casablanca

Who hasn’t seen awesome movie? I don’t know anybody that hasn’t seen the movie and just love it.

So I will put some of my favorite parts here:

What do you want for Sam?

On Casablanca there are 2 big bars: Rick’s and The Blue Parrot. Ferrari owns The Blue Parrot and Rick, well Rick owns Rick’s.Ferrari despise Rick and want to get his bar and when he can’t he tries to gets his main entertainer: Sam, but he doesn’t count that Sam is completely loyal to Rick and he won’t change even for 2 times the pay…sadly on the video Sam reply is not shown.

Play it again Sam

Sam and Ilsa see each other again and she convinces him to play the only song that Rick doesn’t allow to be played, which makes Rick very angry.

Here we see also some new stuff

Here is the first time

  1. Laszlo and Rick kind of hate each other, they just say “how do you do” to each other.
  2. They are well aware of each other reputation.
  3. Rick drinks with clients…never seen before, expressed by Renault.
  4. “We all try, you succeed”. Rick to Laszlo.
  5. “The nazis wore gray, you wore blue”.Rick tells to Ilsa.
  6. Rick pays the bill, another precedent gone, expressed again by Renault.

La Marseillaise

  1. Laszlo tries to buy Rick but is unable…he has to ask his wife.
  2. Germans starts singing while everybody is seemly sad about the situation, even the band is not playing.
  3. Until Laszlo demands the band to play La Marseillaise, the band doesn’t do anything until Rick “command” them to do it.Laszlo seems to be the hero…but is actually Rick who makes it possible.
  4. Renault is obliged to close the place and gives the excuse of illegal gambling…then he receives his winning from the bets.

Gin joints

Rick is visible drunk, overthinking about Ilsa.Sam tries to cheer him but is unable, after a brief discussion Sam refuses to leave Rick on is current state, then Rick says the famous phrase :” Of all the gin joins, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine” , followed by “You know what I want to hear…you play it for her , you play it for me…if she can stand it I can…play it!

Here’s looking at you

 

Probably the clip with the most famous quotes:

  1. “Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor, you ‘re of his world, the part  that keeps him going.If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today.Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”
  2. “We will always have Paris.”
    1. “We didn’t have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca.We got it back last night.”
  3. “…I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.Someday you will understand that.”

The last famous line is when Rick says to Renault “Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”

I tried to not spoil a lot of the story with the quotes in case you haven’t seen the movie

I Gotta go see about a girl…

First of all, –bell…SHAME…bell–, I haven’t seen Good Will Hunting before.

So finally I saw it and I reaaally like it ( I can see why Matt and Ben won the Oscar…and why Robin Williams won his too).

When I was watching the movie I knew that the moment when Sean tells the history of the baseball match is a point breaker between him and Will, thats when they get closer but at the moment I didn’t thought that it will be anything else than that until Skylar leaves.

Here the video with both of the times the phrase if used:

The woes of the craft

“Not all is delight, however, and knowing the inherent woes makes it easier to bear them when they appear.

First, one must perform perfectly. The computer resembles the magic of legend in this respect, too. If one character, one pause, of the incantation is not strictly in proper form, the magic doesn’t work. Human beings are not accustomed to being perfect, and few areas of human activity demand it. Adjusting to the requirement for perfection is, I think, the most difficult part of learning to program.

Next, other people set one’s objectives, provide one’s resources, and furnish one’s information. One rarely controls the circumstances of his work, or even its goal. In management terms, one’s authority is not sufficient for his responsibility. It seems that in all fields, however, the jobs where things get done never have formal authority commensurate with responsibility. In practice, actual (as opposed to formal) authority is acquired from the very momentum of accomplishment.

The dependence upon others has a particular case that is especially painful for the system programmer. He depends upon other people’s programs. These are often maldesigned, poorly implemented, incompletely delivered (no source code or test cases), and poorly documented. So he must spend hours studying and fixing things that in an ideal world would be complete, available, and usable.

The next woe is that designing grand concepts is fun; finding nitty little bugs is just work. With any creative activity come dreary hours of tedious, painstaking labor, and programming is no exception.

Next, one finds that debugging has a linear convergence, or worse, where one somehow expects a quadratic sort of approach to the end. So testing drags on and on, the last difficult bugs taking more time to find than the first.

The last woe, and sometimes the last straw, is that the product over which one has labored so long appears to be obsolete upon (or before) completion. Already colleagues and competitors are in hot pursuit of new and better ideas. Already the displacement of one’s thought-child is not only conceived, but scheduled.

This always seems worse than it really is. The new and better product is generally not available when one completes his own; it is only talked about. It, too, will require months of development. The real tiger is never a match for the paper one, unless actual use is wanted. Then the virtues of reality have a satisfaction all their own.

Of course the technological base on which one builds is always advancing. As soon as one freezes a design, it becomes obsolete in terms of its concepts. But implementation of real products demands phasing and quantizing. The obsolescence of an implementation must be measured against other existing implementations, not against unrealized concepts. The challenge and the mission are to find real solutions to real problems on actual schedules with available resources.

This then is programming, both a tar pit in which many efforts have floundered and a creative activity with joys and woes all its own.”
