What was the last movie you watched?


Recommended Posts

I then last night watched a movie called Michael with my wife.

post-34384-0-71369500-1340454484.jpg

It is an Austrian movie with subtitles, and it was getting comparisons to the movie Funny Games for being disturbing. So I rented it through the Apple store.

I think the trailer is the best way to show it.

Man, this movie is twisted. It is SUPER slow and deliberate, so if you do not like those types of movies, this is not for you. I felt sick to my stomach most of the movie, and that was in fact the point.

7/10

Believe it or not, the last one I watched, although not all of it, was yesterday, and it was the x rated Deep Throat, from 1972!! Didn't really watch it, but was showing my perverted brother how to convert files and burn them on a dvd.

Never had seen that movie, but do remember when it came out.

Trivia fact:

This was picked as one of 100 landmark films of all time in the new "Radio Times Guide to Films 2007", compiled by the magazine's film reviewers and staff. Radio Times' film editor Andrew Collins justified the choice by stating that the list is not about cinematic quality, but about the influence a film had on society. "'Deep Throat' is not necessarily recommended for everyone," Collins said, "It's a quite badly made film, but to deny its influence would be pure snobbery."

Some old movies from the 90's that I saw for the first time.

that sounds cool, I loved funny games

This weekend I have watched:

* Promethius

Dunno what to say that hasn't been said. It's either great and an intriguing part of the overall universe, or a mess that tries to cash in. I genuinely can't tell.

* Alien

I had torevisit this. Very glad I did. Seeing it in HD was worth it also.

* Chernobyl Diaries

I expected standard teen-horror fare. It surprised me.

Just finished watching four over the past two days in this order:

Angel Dog - (Good family movie if you have kids no swearing and easy to follow and predictable, but got it for my step daughter).

Sherlock Holmes (first one - saw it before but wanted to see it again)

The Darkest Hour (Movie seemed to have a good pace to it and never was boring for us)

Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows (Love the humor and the music in both films, if you are into this version, a good watch for sure).

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. 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. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
