This movie was hilarious! I laughed non-stop through the whole thing. I do think a lot of the jokes were aimed specifically at Canadian's, though, so other countries may not understand some of the uhh colourful references to Quebec or our obsession with the Leafs, lol.

How do they judge $5m? the weekend isn't even over yet... if it has done 5m in 24 hours, it could do another 5m in 24 hours.. when the weekend is actually over.

They usually judge it by how big the opening day is because if its a big hype the money it takes first day will be 90% what it takes all weekend...anyway this is where I read it.

That movie was...uhhh...errr...just...disastrous. It was the most juvenile, immature mess I've ever seen in my life. The satire was unfunny, the jokes were recycled and so lame. There was so much dead air thorughout the movie, except for the few times the retards in the theater laughed at his peepee or dick or **** jokes...

Only 5 scenes were funny...other than that, I sat there feeling sorry for Mike Myers. If you don't believe me, read the reviews; 22% on metacritic...

How old are you?

Seriously? What was the funny? The tasteless mop ****-tag game? Any one of the 100 penis jokes or double entendres? Maybe it was the sexist and midget jokes..

As far as the Maple Leafs jokes or the "Le grande ****" pun go, I failed to see the funny. They were just LAME joke leveled at a team that has gotten its share of ridicule - enough now, it's no longer funny. And I've also heard enough Quebec jokes; the ones in the movie were just downright gay. Way to stuff your crotch with newspapers Justin, it made the scene a lot funnier...

You're sitting there asking someone how old they are when you sit there insulting him for his opinion? He thought something was funny, yet you insist it was utterly lame, and you're asking how old he is? You refer to the jokes in the movie as "gay" as in bad, and you're asking how old he is? Really? :blink:

The jokes WERE gay. That wasn't a metaphor...and why the **** are you defending the movie anyway? Its rating on metacritic is 24%, on rotten tomatoes 15%, the lowest of any box-office hit. And if you're gonna give me that ****ing "it's only an opinion " bull****, well, you need to get your **** together. Some people saw Hitler as a hero, but we shouldn't discount our universal view of him as a war-monger now, should we?

And when I asked him his age...This movie was a juvenile catastrophe...only a very immature audience with an extremely unsophisticated humor would find that garbage funny; it was catered for an American audience so to speak.

You really need to chill out.

How are you going to sit there and call others immature and ignorant when you're using the word "gay" to describe how stupid the movie is? Do you not see the immaturity and ignorance of everything you've posted? Especially in the way you're using the word "gay"?. Don't give me the excuse "Oh I'm just using it to describe something that's stupid" because that's just a pathetic excuse and it's getting old.

If anyone is immature here, it's you. Not everyone likes the same type of comedy. Just because you think it's stupid, doesn't mean everyone else in the world is going to agree. You're being a little too over-dramatic about this whole thing. It's a movie for crying out loud. Get over it. Nobody forced you to watch it and you keep bringing up how it got awful reviews, yet you still went to see it. You only have yourself to blame there.

I'll probably wait for a video release to be honest. Mike Myers IMHO has gone down hill since Austin Powers 1. The sequal was good still but IMHO not as great and by the 3rd it was all just a rehash of the others and a real lemon in what had been a good series.

The trailer to this didn't look very good at all...and the fact he's playing a sex guru after three Austin power films to me indicated he'd be using the same sort of Austin Powers sex/mojo jokes that we've seen before. Unless I've missed some of his films since Austin Powers 1 that deviates from the sex god role, I do think he should try and reinvent his role a bit. He's funny enough but hes pidgeonholed in the same role and it's running out of steam fast.

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
