Prometheus, 7/10 on the first showing but it seems like a film you need to see again and again, there's a lot to think about which isn't possible while you're still watching it the first time in the cinema, cinematically it's brilliant, some of the 3D is off-putting, like the overlaid readouts on the helmets.

As has been said in some of the reviews, the crew have no camaraderie at all but then neither did the crew in the first Alien film (this is an Alien film - even if Ridley Scott wants to distance it from the previous incarnations).

They have no attachment at all for the characters, they kill off each one with no "mourning period" after each death.

The film seems confused in places, it presents itself as an intellectual study of man's questioning of self and the child-father relationship of god and man, it wants so hard not to be a monster movie but ends up being just that.

Entrance - 0/5

The IMDB listing says this is a Drama - Thriller - Horror

It was one of the least scary movies I have ever seen. People on Rotten Tomatoes were saying to give it a chance, that it has an incredibly slow beginning but the payoff was worth it.

It absolutely was not. It was the most frustrating 15 or so minutes I have ever watched. Talk about cliche scared white girl in a horror movie being absolutely stupid, it was the epitome of that.

Truly not only was it a bad movie, it was among the worse movies I have ever seen. I want that 90 minutes of my life back, as it was utterly wasted.

First movie I think I have ever given a ZERO. (N) (N) (N) (N) (N) 5 Thumbs Down :laugh:

Last movie I watched was Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Youtube Trailer

It is about an 80 yearold man in Japan that has a small sushi restaurant. He is considered the best sushi maker in the world and his resturant that only has 8 seats for patrons is the only sushi restaurant to have 3 michelin stars. It is a beautiful and amazing documentary that everyone should see, especially if you love food as it has some of the most stunning shots of the sushi being made.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
