What was the last movie you watched?


Recommended Posts

Terminator Salvation (6/10) & Tropa de Elite 2 (as good as the first, which happens to be one of my favourite Brazilian/Portuguese films that I've laid my eyes upon so far; 10/10).

Absolutely fantastic. :) I've loved Rush ever since I played "Tom Sawyer" in Rock Band (hey, I'm still young :p ), so for me, this was a brilliant story of the band so far; all the highs and the lows, along with so many different appearances from some of the greatest musicians of recent years; Trent Reznor, Taylor Hawkins, Billy Corgan, Kirk Hammett, Vinnie Paul, the list goes on and on. :)

10/10

Man on Fire. I'd give it an 8 or 9/10 because it was actually quite interesting, and it made for a good story with some interesting action scenes.

Probably the only Tony Scott movie I enjoyed. He tends to edit his movies to death, but he still managed to not screw this one up (even if it was a remake). Plus you can't go far wrong with Denzel.

Last for me:

Le Samoura? (1967)

Just perfect.

New Kids Turbo

6/10

Nice dutch movie with a lot of unnecessary violence and big explosions. But not as good as the hype led me to believe it would be.

It was nice to see the dutch government blow up as small village in the south of the Netherlands and blaming Belgium for it though... :laugh:

I'd give it a 7/10 because it delivered exactly what I had expected - action and cars. There were some very good scenes, but it did take the emphasis off the cars and more to shooting in places. It's a watchable film but it makes me wonder whether Tokyo Drift should be taken as canon or not.

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
    • 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "to fund healthcare and tuition" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Who do you think you are talking about, some COMMUNIST? We are better than them, doG bless Murica!!! p.s. I'm from a country where government does exactly that, i.e. not form US.
    • Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
    • Microsoft details new Edge for Business security features, including AI-powered scareware detection So Edge is adding a "scarecrow." Will it be animated?
    • I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
