2024 Thread is here

 

So far I've watched two movies during Apple TV's free weekend (Jan 3-Jan 5)

 

Greyhound,  IMDB

8 out of 10.  Intense movie which wasn't drawn out or sidetracked by irrelevant bs (fairly short at just over 90 mins). 

 

Fly me to the Moon, IMDB

5 out of 10.  Started off strong and I was liking it.  However, towards and during the third act...this movie just started sucking.  Guess it was supposed to be a RomCom ... but lacked the Rom and the Com.  Unlike Greyhound...this one was drawn out way too long.

The End IMDB

2 out of 10

Instead of watching this, take a crap in a toilet and then stare at it for 148 minutes and make up a song about it on the spot.

The song you create will be more catchy than anything in this film.

Watch The Greatest Showman instead.

My GF and I watched it in 4 viewings, 3 of which I started to fall asleep during.

I watched Gladiator 2 last night.  The first one is a solid 8 or 8.5, this one is around a 7 IMO.  You never quite feel the same way for the MC like you did in the original.

Just finished watching The Naked Gun.

I'm impressed. One of the few comebacks/reboots where I've thought that they nailed it. I was laughing the whole time at the old-school comedy, and Liam Neeson was Drebin's kid through and through.

I watched both Prey and Alien Romulus recently. I thought overall Prey was better, but Romulus was pretty close too.

It has decent reviews

TBF it only has good ratings from RT critics. Most others seem to think it's okayish

See, for me Prey was alright because it continued branching out into a new idea of Predator, but there was something wonting for me. I think Predators did a better job of being part of the series. Maybe it felt more like a B-movie than Prey tried to be.

I thought Romulus was great, although that was because it was a rehash of the original Alien film but designed for a younger generation. All of the tropes were there, I had good fun.

But hey, it's all subjective. Something works for some people and not others. 🤷‍♂️

Oh, I keep meaning to watch that! Ana de Armas and an action flick, I'm going to love it. :laugh:

I started watching One Battle After Another. It was not was I was expecting, so I needed to stop and I'll maybe get back to it at some point...

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
