What was the last movie you watched?


Recommended Posts

Watched it over the weekend, I would give it an 8/10, definitely a good flick.

So was a Monday night, nothing on TV, and saw American History X was on at 9. Watched it for what has got to be at least the 15th time. Which for me is a definite record, I tend to only watch movies I really like 3 times maximum. Just never been one to re-watch movies over and over, as my belief is there is always a new movie to be seen, so why watch what I have alreadt seen. So the fact I have seen a movie over 10 times really is pretty remarkable for my own personal viewing habits.

Seriously is in my personal Top 20 Favorite Movies of all time. Just a powerful movie all around. Truly makes one uncomfortable at times, I mean really uncomfortable. Still hands down the performance of Edward Nortons career. Like no questions about it, the best acting he has ever done, and I happen to think he is a pretty damn good actor. But he is truly remarkable in this movie, I am sure there are plenty of people who hate him in real life as he did such a convincing job.

The movie is not without it's flaws either. Some of the racial stereotypes are truly over the top to the point they are pretty much offensive. But even with that said, that fact somehow does not affect how good of a movie it is overall.

9.75 / 10

Totally agree! His best performance to date. This movie made him one of my all-time favorite actors.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • 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!
