Watched both Interstellar and Guardians of the Galaxy.

 

Interstellar is a bag of crap that's trying too hard to be a modern 2001: A Space Odyssey... that's 2:45hrs of my life I'm not getting back as it doesn't hold a candle to a classic like 2001.

 

Guardians on the other hand, a brilliant, funny, clever, comic book romp that was frankly too short and makes me hanker after Guardians 2.

 

I'd give Interstellar 5/10 and Guardians 9/10

...and i think you are being generous with GOG, I agree it was too short, because I feel the pace of the film was too quick to the spectator get involved with the movie characters.

did not watch interstellar,  but i watched GoG and it definately does not deserve the praise i see many people giving it.

i though it was reasonably entertaining,  so maybe 6/10 tops.     no where near the fun of X-Men the days of future past.     but that is my opinion i guess... and many disagree.

it is the first movie with tomatometer of 90 and audience of 94, that i just did not like.

I thought Intersteller was amazing.  Probably one of my favorite movies ever.  The visuals where stunning in IMAX, and I left the theater knowing I needed a 4K TV.    Guardians of the Galaxy was awesome as well.  Not quite the same being a comedy.  To each his own I guess.  I'm still looking forward to trying out the ISS from Intersteller on Oculus Rift when it comes out.  That'll be epic for sure.

I'd put the pure fun and not taking itself seriousness far above the annoying reset button deus ex machina of Days of future past. It's the absolute WORST storytelling technique EVER. Star Trek made it work, X-Men... did not, mostly because it was unnecessary.

X-Men was so boring that I fell a sleep. G of G was excellent . . . the other foremention movie was so so.

 

you mean the latest x-men? vs g of g???

 

 

and you found the xmen boring???

 

 

 

LOL. lets agree to disargee.   i did actually fell asleep at G of G.

it was a long day and i was at the theater that allowed beer at the seat.

 

however, unlike GofG,  x-men had me gripped at the edge of my seat without boredom.

 

different strokes i guess.

Interstellar was a huge disappointment in so many ways. Guardians was an unexpected treat that I enjoyed so much more than almost every other Marvel movie. I don't score many movies a perfect 10 so Guardians wouldn't get that, but otherwise I'd agree pretty closely with OP's scores :)

Interstellar was trying too hard I agree. It was a okay film just about 45 minutes too long. Also it was not anywhere near as clever as they seem to think it was. I did enjoy Nolan's representation of time collapsed to a three dimensional space though. Visually very nicely done. I saw Predestination a few days before Interstellar though and as Predestination is incredible I think perhaps that impacted my appreciation for Interstellar's time travel mechanics.

 

GotG was a very fun movie with great characters and well done effects. I am not a huge super hero movie fan but I did enjoy GotG a lot, much more than I was expecting too.

    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      PowerToys is getting a new window management utility by Taras Buria If you use PowerToys on Windows 11 or 10, you probably know that the app has quite a few utilities for window management. Fancy Zones, Always on Top, Crop and Lock, just to name a few. Soon, Microsoft will add another one, and fans of Alt + Tab should be excited. Proposed by Clint Rutkas, the module has a very simple idea: use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between windows within one app. For example, if you have four browser windows open, Alt + ` will let you switch between them just like Alt + Tab switches between all running apps. Here is the utility description from its GitHub pull request: Like other PowerToys utilities, Alt Window Cycle will offer shortcut customization. You will be able to use default shortcuts (Alt + ` for the next window or Alt + Shift + ` for the previous one) or remap them to something else. For now, there is no information on when Alt Window Cycle will arrive, so we will have to wait for the next PowerToys feature update (Microsoft usually pushes them on a monthly basis). Recently, Microsoft released version 0.100, which reworked the shortcuts guide, introduced an extension gallery for Command Palette, and more. Shortly after, version 0.100.1 arrived as a bug-fixing update. PowerToys is available on Windows 10 and 11, and you can get the app from the official GitHub repository, the Microsoft Store, or winget. Although Windows 10 is no longer supported, PowerToys developers currently do not plan to drop the now-unsupported operating system. And with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year in the Extended Security Update, you can expect PowerToys to remain available on Windows 10 for quite a while.

      This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming

      Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
