What was the last movie you watched?


Recommended Posts

The mates and I had a Star Wars weekend, watching the 6 in order from first to last. It's been a blast,

For some reason, I just can't do this.

Yeah I'm one of "those" guys. I have to watch it in chronological order, I tried by order of episodes.

Just can't.

The Wraith - 1986

Early Charlie Sheen movie, Packard Walsh and his motorized gang control and terrorize an Arizona desert town where they force drivers to drag-race so they can 'win' their vehicles. After Walsh beats the decent teenager Jamie Hankins to death after finding him with his girlfriend, a mysterious power creates Jake Kesey, an extremely cool motor-biker who has a car which is invincible. Jake befriends Jamie's girlfriend Keri Johnson, takes Jamie's sweet brother Bill under his wing and manages what Sheriff Loomis couldn't; eliminate Packard's criminal gang the hard way...

It is on Hulu if you are curious

I just watched the "documentary" Terry.

Here is the promotional text for the movie taken from it's Facebook page..

In the summer of 2009, Charlie Ruez made a documentary...

6 months later the footage was seized for evidence by the Metropolitan Police Department...

In 2010.......The footage was released.

TERRY

Whatever Happens....Just Keep Filming...........

Cannot say I was a big fan. It is filmed incredibly realistically since it is a mockumentary, and if not for Google I do believe people would wonder if it was actually real. So as a result some of the scenes are quite disturbing, but after about 20 minutes you get the entire depth of the character Terry, so the rest of the movie really is just quite repetitive. And when a movie is only 1 hour and 20 minutes and it starts to feel to long, you know something went wrong on the cutting room floor. And honestly the overall ending was pretty corny. I really was hoping it took a completely different direction, however it did not. Had higher hopes for the movie based on the previews I had read. I would give it a...

2.5/5

What it actually reminded me of is a modern day version of what I feel is a truly brilliant movie, and that is the french movie Man Bites Dog.

If people are into the whole concept of the mockumentary, and also like truly disturbing films and incredibly dark, dark comedy, then I strongly recommend Man Bites Dog. It is honestly one of the first films I recall doing the mockumentary style, and it is really a truly dark, disturbing, yet amazing film. One of the all time classics in my opinion.

I see Jack Falls listed above, I will either be watching that tomorrow night or London Boulevard, have not fully decided yet.

If anyone here has seen London Boulevard and can provide some very quick feedback, like is it worth watching, it would be appreciated. My wife definitely prefers to watch it over Jack Falls just because there is also a love story element to London Boulevard that is evident thanks to the trailers.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • 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!
