What was the last movie you watched?


Recommended Posts

2024 Thread is here

 

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

 

GreyhoundIMDB

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...

    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
