the hurt locker. Good movie albeit unrealistic in many aspects.

Really.... unrealistic in what aspects?

I watched it with my buddy that got back from Iraq three years ago. He actually said that he met people as crazy as the lead character.

We both liked the movie, and he said that the scary part of serving in Iraq was the not knowing what will happen the next day... Sometimes they would sit in the base for days waiting for orders, sometimes they would just drive on some stupid mission in the desert, and sometimes they would be in the middle of fire.

Anyhow, I loved the movie.

Cheers

Two films in rapid succession:

Alice in Wonderland in 3D: this was very good. It twisted and turned in ways that kept me going. I would definitely recommend it!

Percy Jackson: I don't think this can replace Harry Potter, which is what I had previously gathered was the point (it's directed by Christopher Columbus, the director of the first two Harry Potter films), but I enjoyed it. It seemed a bit less earnest than the Harry Potter films, and so it was more slapdash and also ironic (unintentionally so?). I was sitting in a cinema with some people who made lots of noise throughout (eating and with a baby crying on and off). Still, it was an enjoyable film.

Ben-Hur - It was on Sky and Id never seen it. It was so nice to watch a film that didn't set out to be a franchise or have lines they could use in adverts for Burger King. Ive been watching a lot of the big films from the 60's over the last few months, I just became so let down with the films of today and the usual preset format they use to get the most viewers possible. :sleep:

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
