What was the last movie you watched?

Star Wars: Phantom Menace in 3D

Watched this on blueray with my son the other week. Thought the same thing "I'll give it a chance again", "Just relax", "See the positives" etc.....

Still a load of pants. Best thing was when about half way through my son said that Jar Jar was an "annoying idiot". I was so proud.

Watched Captain America: The First Avenger on the weekend. 7.5/10. Ok but both Thor and Iron Man are better.

Decided to watch it after seeing it mentioned a couple of times on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. Wasn't really too fond of it, to be honest. The standout moment for me was

the last couple of scenes, where the network executives actually talk about assassinating Howard Beale, and then you see it happen on his show in gruesome detail.

It shocked me at first, but then when the very last scene rolls

(where there's several TV screens featuring a combination of news reports of Beale's assassination and commercials)

, you realise it isn't really that shocking at all, because people like that would actually be willing to go that low.

6/10

The last movie I watched is:

The Pelican Brief.

I read the book and the book is excellent, shame the movie didn't follow so closely to the book, if it had it would have been 4 more hours longer.

I would recommend to everyone that hasn't to read The Pelican Brief to read it, as it is a great book.

The Emperors New Grove

I loved this film as a kid, but having not seen it in at least 8 years and being reminded about it by a guy at work the other day, I thought I would give it a watch. And I was not disappointed, still found it hilarious!

patrick warburton is a win in any movie lol.

Just watched Tower Heist.... While it wasn't bad, the ending didn't resolved everything. You don't know what really happened to Eddie Murphy's characater, or what really happened to everyone else. You see a few people get what they deserve, but everything else is just sort of left up in the air. So while a decent movie all the way through, once it ends, you feel robbed...

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Looks almost like what our office provides us, excluding the leg rest for obvious reasons 😴
    • Forget the iPhone. What about Android? Most Samsung Galaxy phones sold in the USA are manufactured in Vietnam. Asian countries have the infrastructure that the USA doesn't have. This is why most electronics are not made in the USA
    • The RAM would still probably be more expensive than what they were paying last year.
