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.

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
