What was the last movie you watched?


Recommended Posts

I'm curious.. uncomfortable you say? how? unsure.gif

It is not a typical horror movie. The subject being looked at is a bit more mature than the typical "I'll come back from the dead repeatedly to inflict my pain on the world." This is not a late teenage melodrama (Halloween or These Hills have Eyes), nor is the acting wooden... it is very fluid. The scenes go well beyond movies like Hostel (more repulsive) and thrillers, like Saw. All of the scenes involve sexuality that would best be left unmentioned. The part about me being uncomfortable was in the treatment of women, though this is not at all common for horror flicks, but suffice to say that it is taken to the next level of cruelty and perversity.

You can read some of the links below, which do have some spoilers in them, but it might be a good idea anyway. Finally, while it is a bit difficult to watch I would not place it as the scariest movie I have ever seen. I think this is being blown over to hype the movie. If after reading the articles below, you still want to watch it there are a number of sites of the internet that have it... You***.com might be one of them (or maybe not anymore). Not sure.

Avatar - Third time seeing it. 1st 2 times was in 3D at the theater. Last night was at home on 25" CRT TV. :no: Just not the same.

Told my wife that we should get the Blue Ray Version and Blue Ray Player when we buy our next TV in the next year or so that way we can really enjoy it the way it should. Oh yeah, gotta boost the sound system. Currently was sounding crappy on some blown 10" subs that I have yet to replace. :)

The Simpsons Movies and Zombieland :p

Might I recommend a 55" LEDTV with a 6.1 Bose sound system? That's what my parents have, the girlfriend and I are jealous.... :p BTW Avatar was amazing on that setup :D

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
