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.

    • Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
