3/5 - Chloe loves her dodgy roles! :|

Just watched this with my wife, total blah. I do not mind slow artsy movies, but yeah, this one did nothing for me other than make me think there was some inappropriate things going on. If the point of the movie was to make people feel completely uncomfortable, they did achieve that with smashing success.

yeah it was a bit wrong seeing Chloe do and say some of the things considering her age

Exactly, and even if she is older than the character she played, the movie starts off at her 13th birthday party, so she is damn young. It just felt incredibly wrong to have a 13 year old girl in the situations she was in, even if it is a movie, and even if 13 year old girls are indeed in those types of situations, which I do not doubt that they are. Would have been much easier tolerate if she was say 17. I do get the whole point of it all, basically it is all about even if she is 13 she does in fact face very adult situations, I do get that, but it just seemed to push the envelope of decency IMO, and I am honestly pretty tolerant of people pushing the envelope of decency and do no doubt know it can serve a purpose. That I believe is probably my biggest issue with the movie itself, I am not sure overall what the whole purpose was. I have some theories naturally, but as I said, I definitely did feel uncomfortable watching some of the scenes.

As I write all of this I realize the people behind this movie just pretty much achieved what they set out to do, and that was have people discuss these facts. So I guess in that regards it is a successful movie for them.

yeah the fact we are talking about it means he got the responses he wanted...its not a movie I would watch again though

John Carter - 6/10

Journey 2 : The Mysterious Island - 6/10.

Saw them both yesterday.

John Carter 8/10 - I was really surprised I would enjoy another Disney film.

Journey 2 Mysterious Island 7/10 - It was so so, anyway it's The Rock. :D

John Carter 6/10

The devil inside 3/10

Devil inside was terrible, I only give it a 3 because Isabela was hot and the overall story line was actually pretty good.

John Carter was good, looked sweet on my 60" 240hz Samsung, over the top special effects but could have used better character development especially concerning the alien "gods" who claimed to be ending worlds without intervention, who were they? where did they come from? what other worlds did they end? etc etc, the movie goes into it slightly but not near enough IMO.

Me and my wife had a quintessential Lazy Sunday since we have off tomorrow thanks to the holiday, so went on a bit of a movie watching spree today.

Safe House - 8/10

Actually a pretty damn good action thriller. Denzel is the man. :laugh:

The Pact 3/10

MV5BOTkxNjY2MDE1OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzI5ODY3Ng@@._V1._SY317_.jpg

Such a cliched horror movie. Plot had more holes than a golf course. Just awful.

Take This Waltz - ??/10

MV5BMjIzOTc1NTExNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTg5MTY2Nw@@._V1._SY317_.jpg

I put question marks for the score as we turned it off about 50 minutes in. Incredibly slow and as such had no interest in continuing to watch it.

Tomorrow should be another movie day. Day off, going to be hot as all hell, so will probably watch 2-3 more movies.

    • So, recently, I saw on the news that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.

    • And he paid Joe Rogan $30M for podcasts. Terrible company.
    • I sure hope the AI does not give out wrong info during education
