Moonrise Kingdom

9.75 / 10

Possibly the best movie I have watched so far in 2012. Just absolutely brilliant.

The Cast. Acting. Script. Cinematography. Musical Score. All absolutely flawless.

EASILY The best Wes Anderson movie ever made, and I do not say that lightly as I am a big fan indeed.

The kid who plays Sam Jared Gilman, who I believe is pretty much a newcomer, absolutely could win the Oscar for Best Actor.

Same for the girl who plays Suzy.

For kids their age to be able to pull of such adult dry comedic roles that require such a deadpan delivery is truly remarkable.

What an amazing movie.

Was a big movie theater weekend for me.

Yesterday I went to see a matinee of Dredd by myself. Wife had zero interest.

So I had a HUGE interest as I used to read the original Eagle comic book. I even went back and collected the 2000 AD comics he was in once I got into his featured comic. So I know the whole Dredd legacy fairly well as a result. So being someone who really collected all comics Dredd related, I thought they did a pretty admirable job with it overall. I totally recognize the fact that in itself it is quite a challenge modernizing source material that originally started in the late 70's. So with that in mind, I thought they did a decent job with it. At times aspects of the movie definitely had a low budget feel to it, and I thought once you saw one of the super slow motion scenes, the following scenes definitely lost their cool factor, but overall, I was pleasantly surprised. Was nowhere near the atrocity I thought it was going to be, and it was actually pretty entertaining.

This early afternoon went to go see End Of Watch with the wife.

It was very good, but it actually was not as good as people were making it out to be IMO.

Also I really have to say it, I am 110% totally over the POV camera approach. I really am. It is pretty much a gimmick at this point in time, and it is just played out to me. Not only that, for the dark scenes, could not tell what the **** was going on. Just stupid IMO.

But yeah with all that said, it is a good movie. It is.

8/10

Also a side note, one of the trailers before EOW was Lincoln. It is a Steven Spielberg movie with Daniel Day Lewis playing Abraham Lincoln. It looks like one of those movies that will go as an all time great.

    • Microsoft finally launches WSL Containers in public preview

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I honestly think WSL is one of the coolest things about Windows. The fact that you can type one command and now your computer also runs Linux, without any VM or OS setup is impressive. Yes, it is a VM under the covers, but what is impressive is how seamless and simple it all is.

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, which are security-only updates for the iPhone and the iPad. The update brings a bunch of security fixes for WebKit, WebRTC, WebKit Storage, WebKit Canvas, Web Extensions, libxslt, IOGPUFamily, and even the kernel. Some of the WebKit issues that were fixed could have allowed malicious web content to disclose sensitive user information, exfiltrate cross-origin data, crash Safari, or process restricted web content outside the browser sandbox. One notable WebKit Storage bug could let a malicious website to silently hijack clipboard data, according to Apple’s description. Other WebKit-related flaws involved memory corruption, use-after-free bugs, type confusion, out-of-bounds writes, permissions problems, and cross-origin data handling issues. The update also includes three kernel-related fixes. Apple says one of the flaws could let an app write kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination, while another may leak sensitive kernel state, and a third could corrupt kernel memory or terminate the system unexpectedly. Although Apple hasn't described them as remote web attacks, kernel bugs are still important to fix, as they can sometimes be chained with other flaws to escape app or browser restrictions. The updates are available for iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. Similar security fixes also came with the latest update to macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, which Apple released on the same day. That overlap is not surprising, since Safari, WebKit, WebRTC, and other underlying components are shared across Apple’s platforms. Users are advised to update their devices sooner rather than later as these security fixes are crucial. iOS 26.5.2 can be installed from Settings > General > Software Update. Similarly, Mac users can find macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 through System Settings > General > Software Update.
