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.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Spark99 · Posted

      My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      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? …
