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've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "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."
    • “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing. Besides, where are all the Trump epigones who were stating that the tariffs were going to paid by foreign companies and not the US citizens? …
    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
