The movie story sounds great. It's the director I have a problem with. As you all know, M. Night Shyamalan hasn't had any luck in the box office. His latest failure, The Last Airbender, was not a crowd pleaser, neither were any of the last 3 films before that one. I am surprised this man is still getting movie contracts from studios.

Let's hope he doesn't screw this one up.

I'm really looking forward to this. I don't have a problem with M. Night Shyamalan that a lot of people seem to (Airbender may be really bad, but I wouldn't be interested in it no matter who directed it) and I really like Gary Whitta

When I first saw the title I was hoping for a live-action Titan A.E. (After Earth), but it wasn't to be :(

Must admit I also was thinking the same thing, more the pity that it's not! Titan A.E. is perhaps my favorite animated movie of all time, perhaps Heavy Metal is on a par.

Director: M. Night Shyamalan

Writing: Gary Whitta (Book of Eli)

Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Isabelle Fuhrman, Zo? Kravitz

I was excited until I saw that M. Night Shyamalan was going to direct this. I was also let down when I read that Will Smith's son and Lenny Kravitiz daughter were in this.

Personally I don't mind Jaden Smith at all. I thought he did a damn good job in the Karate Kid remake. As for Lenny Kravitz's kid, I haven't ever seen her in anything so I can't comment on her acting ability. Needless to say I'm not going to dismiss the movie due to either of them. As for MNS on the other hand, eh. He's hit or miss writing wise. But he's not writing this one, he's only directing (and I think producing?) so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. His last movie about the devil in the elevator wasn't bad actually, so I can forgive past transgressions :D

She was in xmen first class, the girl with the tattoo wings that could fly.

From IMDB: ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1815862/ )

One thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind's new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai. When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai's craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.

I honestly don't know what to think of this. :huh:

Will Smith as a supporting act for his son? No thanks.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
