Watched Miyazaki's last film "The Wind Rises" yesterday with the girlfriend, great historical drama with Hideki Anno voicing the lead character amazingly well and beautiful artwork as usual by Studio Ghibli.

I'm really going to miss watching his magical animation/storytelling on the big screen.

2.5/5

Can't argue with the rating, but this is a classic. Saw it as a kid at drive-in. 2nd Movie was Pretty Baby with Brooke Shields, but Susan Sarandon's naked breasts brought on early puberty for me.

Gareth Edwards knows monster movies and he did a great job with Godzilla. It's a great movie overall and a worthy addition to the genre. Loved it.

 

The only way this movie would be better was if in the after the credits scene Gipsy Danger somehow showed up. Also, there is no after the credits scene.

How would that be possible when Gipsy was destroyed? I mean, it pretty much self destructed.

That's why I said somehow. Maybe some kind of easter egg. My dream trilogy for Pacific Rim would be a sequel and a prequel based on the Mark I Jaegers. Cherno Alpha is the best Jaeger.

I think it would have to be in the same series/universe in order for a Easter Egg to happen. lol.

Couldn't agree more, watched it yesterday in 3D. I liked the fact the lead actors had just the right amount of screen presence that didn't make you overlook what the movie was truly about (Y)

Godzilla (2014) 7.5/10. I liked it, but not really impressed by it. I hated how it was edited.

Say there's a build up to a scene revealing Godzilla, then it shows him, then cuts away to another scene. I feel like.. uhhhh.. I kinda want to see the whole thing unfold. PUT ME ON GROUND ZERO, not the TV.

The Hobbit 1: 6/10

I am tempted to give it a 7, I didn't fall asleep and there were a few moments I thought were well done. It was a solid meh. I didn't feel pulled into the movie, like the previous trilogy and it was obvious he was dragging the movie out, so he could make a trilogy out of a single movie worth of content.

 

Star Trek: Heart of Darkness: 8/10

Despite horrible use of fake science, shaky cam and light reflections gone wild... it was a very entertaining movie. Every time my hard science fiction geek reared up and said "oh my gawd, that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard", I was quickly shut up by rather entertaining action sequences. I wish shaky cam dude, would hire some guys to work with his writers in coming up better "fake science", but I can't fault the guy in creating an entertaining movie.

The Dark Knight - 8.5/10 - It drags on just a tiny bit too much. I found myself getting a bit bored towards the end. Still though, even after the hype train, this movie is awesome.

 

Which in turn made me watch:

Batman - 7.5/10 - I forgot how good this movie was. It hasn't aged well to be honest, but I really enjoyed it. I think Jack NIcholson is on par with Heath Ledger.

I haven't seen The Dark Knight, but I loved Nicholson as the Joker in Batman.

 

One of his best lines: "He stole my balloons! Why didn't somebody tell me that he had one of those...THINGS?"

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
