Captain Philips.


Not his best film, but I'm glad it has won the Yenster a lot of new fans.

10/10

 

The US movie of the year for me. Displacing The Counselor to a second place. Hell, it's maybe the best US movie since No country for old men.

7/10

 

Terrific performances from Matthew McConaughey (A surprise for me) and Jared Letto (The scene in front of the mirror was chilling). The script was so-so. The cinematography was very well done.

3/5 - suppose I don't get LARPing, Glau looked good though!

3/5 here too. Would of rated it lower but Summer saved it. Peter Dinklage did what he could but I think it was just a pretty average movie all over.

Planes: 4.5 / 10

 

It should have gotten a 7.5/ 10 but

* -1 for having an atrocious voice acting in French

* -1 for having the very same underdog/ugly duckling/fear your own fear/regrets story than Cars

* -1 for the abuse of computers: this is 2014, there are plenty of computer rendered movies all around, no need anymore to show that a company can model water or skies.

 

In the end, what could have been a very enjoyable family movie passes for a non-subtle ploy to sell plastic toys

      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.

      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

      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.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
