What was the last movie you watched? (2013 Edition)

Avatar 3D.

I watched it originally in 2D. Got the 3D blu-ray last year and took all this time to get round to watching it.

Made me not completely regret my purchase of a 3D TV :laugh:

Best thing i've seen in 3D since Sky Sports Darts coverage :laugh:

Well the last one I watched was "A Haunted House". Absolutely stupid. Almost turned it off a few times, but figured I might as well finish it. 1/5

Just before that I watched "Dredd" in 3D. Was pretty good. 4/5

Expected more. I love Cronemberg.

It's a excellent adaptation from the book, everything is spot on. However this does not translate as well since what it feels like stoicism and detachment in the book feels like numbness in the movie. However the style and the dialogs are well preserved and executed.

Watched the documentary Sound City last night. I had preordered it for $10, so got the DRM free digital download once it was released this past Thursday I think it was.

Very good documentary about the making of Rock N Roll music. Very well done all around.

Oh, I also went to go see Mama in the theaters on Thursday night. I was in San Jose CA on a business related trip, could not sleep due to the time difference, so decided to go on my own and check out a movie in the theater.

What a really bad movie. Bad thing is it had some genuinely good, creepy moments, but the parts that people were literally LOL'ing when they were not supposed to be doing so ruined the whole flick. It tried way to hard to be serious and just came off as being a joke. The ending was about as cliche of a horror movie ending as one can get as well. Avoid at all costs.

Bully - 4/5

Tough to watch this as a human being, but even tougher as a parent. Sad to see the actions of kids can result in an 11 year old killing themselves. I know everyone has their own views on suicide but at such a young age I feel like it could have been prevented. Very emotional movie/docu to watch, I'd almost even be on board with this been shown in school as a requirement.

Silver Linings Playbook - 4.5

Watched this one after watching Bully because I didnt want to goto bed being depressed. Really enjoyed this movie and was shocked at Cooper's performance (as I dont think Ive seen him in a serious role prior to this). Jennifer Lawrence was also great.. also being an Eagles fan it was great to see those parts in the movie.

Highly recommend both movies.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).
    • I never played Crazy Taxi before, but this looks like a fun game!
    • The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
