The Rock was awesome when I saw it as a kid but I think it's pretty cheesy nowadays. I just went to red box and rented Deadly Crossing again. Man, it's even better the second time. I'm telling you, it's the best action movie besides maybe Dark Knight to come out in the last 5-7 years.

I'm widely regarded by my friends as being a big Predator fanboy. One of the best action films in the cheesefest that was the 1980s*.

Otherwise, I'm a big fan of the Bourne, Die Hard and Lethal Weapon films.

A few of the action films I've enjoyed over the past few years:

* Fun Fact: 3 of the actors from Predator went on to join the world of politics, with varying levels of success.

Sadly i've yet to see any of the Bourne legacy :shiftyninja:

I've heard some good stuff about The Raid it's looks quite interesting, it keeps staring at me on Netflix.

Legacy was fairly decent, but not on par with the original trilogy. I wouldn't really call it a Bourne film though. It's a regular action movie with a few references to Jason Bourne made here and there. Without the Bourne References though, it would have still been a perfectly acceptable action movie.

    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
    • I still use speccy on windows systems as a quick sysinfo thing. I know there's better but really it was the first one I used of its type
