I completely agree, and in general working with email programmatically sucks. MIME is a mimefield.

I've had more than one person I work with take screenshots of their desktop, paste them into a word document, then attach the word document to an email to get me to help them with their problem. This has the same energy.

You've got be joking right? The most influential, most loved, most well regarded fantasy trilogy of all time is not a good story actually? I get that it wasn't your style for whatever reason but to call it bad storytelling is just asinine.

Workaround Steps:

1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment

2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory

3. Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.

4. Boot the host normally.

There is a fix people have found which requires manual booting into safe mode and removal of a file causing the BSODs. No clue if/how they are going to implement a fix remotely when the affected machines can't even boot.

Yep, stuck at the airport currently. All flights grounded. All major grocery store chains and banks also impacted. Bad day to be a crowdstrike employee!

Haha, I have no idea why it is so unheard of. Absolutely floored me the first time I saw it years ago and I've come back to it at various times in my life and gotten different things out of it each time. Such a gem of a film.

Haven't seen The Best of Youth but I'll put it on my list right next to Satantango 😉.

A few I don't see getting mentioned much:

• 3-Iron
• The Seventh Continent
• Hausu
• The Lives of Others
• Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
• Spoorloos

Hell yeah! Ritual by him is also wonderful.

Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!

Believe it or not, also the sun!

One of my favourite black metal albums is Rain Upon the Impure by The Ruins of Beverast. Nothing he's done before or since comes even close to the perfection of that album.
