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


Recommended Posts

Haven't found time to watch one at home lately, but the last flick I did manage to catch was the new Star Trek. 

 

Think I need to see it again before passing judgement.

I watched Spring Breakers ^ It was Incredible...bly Bad. 1/10.  Nice girls though. 

 

Vanessa Hudgens + Selena Gomez = fans of that genre only. Even with Kriz's 5/5 I can't. :)

Its a lot grittier and darker than some of you may think, its not a chick flick by any means. (Spring Breakers)

 

You've got street cred after Little China and Black Dynamite, so standing behind your 5/5 and adding gritty and dart to Hudgens and Gomez, I'll give it a shot.

 

I admit I'm going in thinking I won't be able to watch the whole thing :)

That turns out to be a pretty good assessment. Has to be the biggest surprise in a long time. You keep your cred, I give it a 4/5. Pacing didn't always work as intended.

Ha glad i could sway you :D On a more important note, glad my street cred is intact!

The Kite Runner (2007)

Great movie: good acting, moving story and good characters; doesn't rely on SFX or famous actors, just a good plot and very good acting (believable). Also shows how thinks were and are in Afghanistan: the birthday party scene reminded me a period in my own childhood where things were simpler but for a celebration party everyone was dressed very formally for the occasion; the exodus scene showed the horrible face of war and the end scene the circle completes.

 

8/10.

Europa Report

3.5/5 - perhaps the future?

 

ZzzZzz - Put me to sleep. 2/5.

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
