6/10

Was an OK movie. Not much to say about it. Was fun to watch, but the story is rather weak. I'd recommend it, though.

This fact kind of got under my skin (no, it isn't about the time travel): [No spoilers] The year is 2044 as it states in the movie. Sid's mom points out that he (Sid) was born in 2039 (July 15, 2039, to be exact). So he would be 5 years old.

Later on she mentions that he is 10 years old. These are all laid out in front of you, so the writers messed that one up. Just double checked all scenes to make sure I wasn't going crazy, and I'm not.

I think you misunderstood what the mother was trying to achieve with that comment. She lied on purpose.

The Bourne Legacy. I'd give it a 7/10. Wish they had merged scenes with Jason Borne in it from previous movies...as if they had passed paths at some point.

Ted: 8/10.

Ice Age - Continental Drift 6/10. Skraggs (the squirrel) is hilarious as always.

Rurouni Kenshin

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1979319/

I saw this recently as well.

As far as Live Action adaptations go, this is probably the most well done of all. The director stayed true to the fans and the story, and delivers a great movie without leaving too much out of a long anime. Excellent fighting, graphics, scenery, and acting. 4/5

Hmm..didn't notice that discrepancy in age (but I'm not that detailed oriented with movies).

I'd give it a 7.5/10

It was a better movie than I thought it would be. But it does have Bruce Willis and I always like movies with Bruce Willis. He makes bald cool.

Django Unchained - 9/10 (Loved Christoph Waltz, the style of the film, and some of the scenes were just fantastic)

Looper - 8/10 (Really enjoyed this one although it slowed a bit for me about 3/4 of the way - really enjoyed the premise though)

Project X - 7.5/10 (Liked the movie overall but the ending scene with the dad just killed it for me. As a parent I couldn't see myself having that same reaction)

Being the good husband I am, this weekend was more or less my wife's choice of movies.

As such, we watched Silver Linings Playbook last night.

4.75 / 5

It was pretty much exceptional.

I do have to say though, while it is no doubt comedic, I did not think it was a comedy per say, so kind of bewildered why it won best comedy and best comedic actor at The Critics Choice awards.

What I said on Facebook after watching it.

silver linings playbook. one of the better "chick flicks" i've seen for sure. it might not even be one.

Tonight, we saw Les Miserables. It is my wife's favorite musical, so she was truly looking forward to it.

I, on the other hand, cannot stand musicals. They just never have done anything for me.

I have to say, it was a damn good movie. I am not all of a sudden now a fan of musicals, but it was good enough that my dislike of musicals was overlooked for sure.

And my wife kept reminding me how everyone sang their lines "live," and I have to say this fact alone makes the movie that much more impressive.

Another 4.75 / 5

2012 really was a great year for movies. I may go see The Hobbit tomorrow, as it is one of the last big movies of last year I have yet to see.

    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
    • Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
