Spielo ever made an opinion of your own? I saw it, yes it was a bit over exaggerated but why would I care, it was a fun enjoyable film and I have no complaints. The visual style was a nice change and no complaints there. I've recommended to all family friends etc. and no complaints from there. Yes this is my opinion blah blah blah so don't go jumping on my back for being a 'fanboi' and a 'gayer'...

I finally rented it, to see what all the excitement was about. I really wanted to like it, I loved 'Sin City', and I really wanted to at least like the '300'. Wow, I never was so bored. I wanted to stop half-way through and go to bed, but stayed-up to see if anything good happened. Nothing ever did. I guess the problem was that I never really cared for the characters. Whether they lived or died, it really didn't matter, and that was kind of the crux of the movie.

This was one over-rated movie!

Maybe movies seem different if you watch them later, and not during the time all of your peers are saying, "ZOMG11"

Now I'm dreading renting 'Transformers', after all the hype on Neowin!

I watched this last night, and was blown away. Wow. So epic.

The actors had such force and power, the film was beautiful (i swear you could pause it at any time and the image would be beautiful), and although it was 2 hours where no real story was told, it was 2 epic hours of nothing much happening, which more than compensates.

It sure as hell rocked. 5/5

It looked like 80% of the movie was CGI. I wonder if the men's "perfect" body was also CGI./quote]

You are correct about the CGI, except the "perfect" body part :) I read somewhere they went intensive training for a month? or 2 months - to get that body..man, I wish I were picked to play in that movie, then I have a motivation to get muscles like that ^^

to be honest, 300 bored me to death, simply because i just don't like that kind of scenery, haha...

boy, even one of those home shopping channels on TV are more entertaining to me.

hah, yea, i might be unnormal xD

what i DO like is this "This is Sparta" stuff, for example also on neowin floating around... ever so funny :p

Obviously the writer of the review isn't up on the history behind the story.

Lol. "Like 300 dudes kill like a million other dudes" or something like that. The Battle of Thermopylae really happened.

I still haven't seen it but I've seen some choice shots and the 300 rap.

My brother's room has also been nicknamed Sparta.

It was a funny enough read.

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
