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


Recommended Posts

Comes out today in UK, I saw a private screening at Fox this afternoon :)

 

I'm skeptical about seeing it. I don't pay attention to comic books.

 

Does it explain why he's in Japan and what not? My buddy said it's in the future after the X-Men movies.

Yeah it does and it's set after XMen: Last Stand

Oblivion, did not really care for it. mostly because i do not like tom cruise but i just thought it was boring.

 

Can I ask what you don't like about him? I think he's a pretty good actor, and knowing he was wanting to be a priest when he grew up and went this route and made a few good movies is amazing.

 

What didn't you like about Oblivion? I plan on watching it this weekend.

Probably just Tom Cruise.

Usually when i check the score of a movie Tom Cruise is playing in I add one point to the score to reflect reality. Like Born a forth of july is in fact a 8.1 quality movie on imdb scale instead of 7.1.

Redline 3/5 - Accepting the low budget, surprisingly watchable.

Gallowwalkers - Wesley Snipes reminiscing about Blade in a Wild West setting, could not finish.

Ha, ive got it downloaded. The fact that one of the posters ive seen actually says "BLADE IS BACK!!" it didnt seem like it can stand on its own 2 feet.

Rewatched 'The Silence of the Lambs' the other night and honestly had forgotten just how good the film was... utterly brilliant. I loved it. Just one of those films I couldn't imagine them making today - not for the violence but because of just how little 'action' there is and how much of a slow burner it is. 

I'm baffled. How can a fanedit be better than the original? Please don't tell me that some dude with mediocre video editing skills can do a better job than Ridley Scott, one of the world's best directors.

I'd change nothing in Prometheus. If anything, I'd make it longer and more suspenseful like the first Alien if it were up to me. To cut and edit this masterpiece is like slapping Mr. Scott's face .

Check the Changes and Reviews tabs, or better yet, give it a watch and make up your own mind.

You shouldn't be so presumptuous about peoples editing skills, or so dismissive of fan edits in general.

Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

 

3.5/5

 

I was honestly left disappointed. Not a bad docudrama but not a great movie either. How am i supposed to care about people who torture others ? I really like Bigelow but i don't know what she really wanted to do with it. There's dramatization but it's really weak with no characters dev or anything to make you care about those people who torture others for the "greater good".

 

Ted (2012)

 

3.5/5

 

I expected a little bit more but still a fun romantic comedy for men because ultimately this is what Ted really is. I did not laugh all that much but still a really fun lighthearted movie.

 

Orphan Black (2013) (TV Series)

 

3/5

 

Orphan Black is what i would call a guilty pleasure. Not a great serie and specially not a great script but the lead Tatiana Maslany is doing a really good job. Well worth a watch if you liked series like Dark Angel or Dollhouse.

Frankenstein's Army - Critical Rating 4.5/10, Personal Enjoyment Rating 8/10 :D

Gettin on that!!

I'm thinking you'll like it. :) I still haven't been brave enough to watch Pacific Rim, Transformers have turned me off to all giant robot movies. But we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Identity Thief (2013) - Watched it mainly because of Jason Bateman (loved Horrible Bosses) and it turned out to be quite funny. 4/5 

 

Wall Street : Money Never Sleeps (2010) 4/5

 

Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol (2011) - As I pretty much always have done, when I hear a new movie in the series is coming, I watch the most recent. In this case, MI:4. Really liked this one (Simon Pegg was brilliant) 5/5.

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes, generating a PSO cache, pre-compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly.
    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
