Tucker & Dale vs Evil

I absolutely loved this movie. I had no idea what to expect from it. I didn't know if it was supposed to be a horror movie or what, but some comedy pops out and I was about to die laughing. Awesome movie.

Last weekend watched Puss In Boots

Just such a great movie. Absolutely loved it.

Anyone who is a cat owner such as I am will definitely really appreciate all the subtle things they put in from cats with real life.

5/5

Also went to a matinee at the movie theater itself to see Chronicle.

Was a decent film. I liked it a lot more than my wife did though, that is for sure.

It definitely had a few scenes that every boy that ever dreamed of being a super hero could appreciate.

3.5 / 5

Also tried watching We Need To Talk About Kevin

There may be a good movie there somewhere, but I did not make it far enough to find out if there was.

It was not only slow, but it was incredibly depressing as well. Just had no desire to watch it after about 45 minutes of trying.

1.5 / 5

Finally, the weekend before last weekend, watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

6.5/10

It was OK. Cool concept, but, there were many plot holes that brought it down.

2/10 (3D movie-going experience)

I went and saw this Sunday in theaters. Of course I had seen it before, so I won't rate it on that.

This was my first 3D movie that I saw in theaters. I was very disappointed, and my brother constantly reassured me this is the worst 3D movie he has seen (and he has seen a lot) and there were way better ones, so don't give up on the theater 3D experience. We got up and left about 3/4 through, because, really, I love Star Wars (see: Original Trilogy), but watching this movie more than 5 times, in 11 years is more than enough.

My wife wanted to watch this last night. It is only 13 minutes long so i am not certain if it can be classified as a movie.

4/5 (took 1 point off because it was stupid)

Underworld_Awakening_3.jpg

7.5/10 bits of intense action, overall not really the same pull as the other movies.

8/10 pretty funny, but at times kinda stupid. I like stupidly funny movies if they are stupid but funny the entire time.

Star Wars: Phantom Menace in 3D

Absolutely crap. I had gotten to the point where I was ready to give the film a second chance, and 3D would be a bonus.

Wrong in so many ways. It's an absolute turgid pile of pants. Badly written, terrible acting, pooly paced kidfest. I love Star Wars and I was ready to say "You know TPM wasn't as bad as people make out". But it really was. I fell asleep.

As for the 3D? Worst implementation of 3D I have ever seen.

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
