Source Code

9/10

I bought this movie on bluray before seeing it but I'm happy I did because it was entertaining and fairly original. The acing was solid and the fact that the film was only 1:33 long made it more enjoyable. A lot of movies are getting much too long these days and it can take away from the experience. I would recommend Source Code to anyone who doesn't mind using their brain when watching a movie.

I was going to wait until it was released on Blu-Ray/DVD, but I got an invitation from a few mates to go see it at the cinema on Wednesday, and I thought "screw it", so I texted in ill to this forced "volunteering" that I'm doing and went to Vue. :p

I'm not a fan of cinemas. Tickets cost too much (I got away with a Teen ticket, but that was still ?5.80), and there's usually crying babies ruining the moment (that happened a few times with this one), but for this movie, it was worth it (it also helped that I managed to sneak a row down from the top into the "VIP" seats :p ). It was a fantastic end to the series. Right from the get-go, it started off with a much darker tone to all the previous movies to tell you it's serious business now. But there's still the odd few comic relief moments scattered throughout. T'was an epic movie. :)

9.5/10

And I also just finished watching this:

I said when it was starting that I bet it wouldn't be as good as Kick-Ass. And I was right. But the gap isn't as big as I was expecting. It started off a bit crap, but it eventually picked up once Libby entered the movie. :) To be honest, Ellen Page was the saving grace of the film. Frank was just so moronic and religious, it was annoying to see him do most of the stupid stuff that he does in the movie.

I'd give it a 7/10. And just for comparison, I gave Kick-Ass a 9/10.

Oh yeah, forgot Nathan Fillion helped the movie a bit too, even though he was a fake religious superhero on a Christiam TV show. :p

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      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.

      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?
