What was the last movie you watched?

That's the pinnacle of the zombie horror, everything made before and after is pure and simple poop.

5/5

House of Usher: from Edgar Allan Poe by Roger Corman, starring Vincent Price and with a screenplay by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend). Yes: more Corman's films and zero "turbo-zombie" crap for me, thanks....

Brave - 9/10 Loved it. Was cute, funny, and tense. Good story and mythology.

That's My Boy - 7/10 Was funny and good for a watch. A lot better than I expected. I tend to think most of Adam's movies will be horrible, but he always seems to do a good job at the end of it all. Enjoyable and good comedy movie. Watch Unrated version though.

Skyfall - 8.5/10 - Seemed to flow good, but the villain was underwhelming for a Bond villain I thought, and Bond movies are usually famous for them. Original, non-fluff action scenes, which is another plus. Seemed a little small scale for what you would expect, but overall entertaining.

Avatar, ie Dances with Wolves meets a Greenpeace ad meets Pixar 3D stuff. In the future. The story is mean (at best) and already recycled for countless times, the effects are superb, the tech is good and the subtext is engaging in this time and age of social networks and Internet addictions (what's more real, your connected Avatar or your "real" self?). Still a 4/5 movie, anyway. Oh, and 3D sucks so bad: I've enjoyed the movie much more now watching it in Full HD on my TV-set than when I saw it in the theaters with those damn dark-inducing and annoying glasses.

Saw Wreck It Ralph finally today in the theaters.

Enjoyed it, but I thought there was going to be even more nods to classic video games than there wound up being. Still, a very entertaining and funny move. However because I expected a bit more of the video game references, I give it a...

3.75/5

Then I watched Bones Brigade: An Autobiography

Let me begin by saying I was very, very into skateboarding at one point in my life. I did not do it casually, I did it every day for a good 7 years. It pretty much defined me as an individual.

So when I say this movie was a representation of a very, very large part of my early to late teenage years, it is not an exaggeration whatsoever. So I am definitely a little biased when it comes to the subject matter.

With that said...

100/5

It was that good. If you are even just remotely interested in skateboarding, do yourself a favor and watch this movie. If you actually did skate, it is a must watch. These guys pretty much single handedly defined the modern era of skateboarding. All of them had a hand in shaping what skateboarding is known to be today, but especially Rodney Mullen. I always had to utmost of respect for him. Now that respect is multiplied by a thousand. He alone is enough reason to watch the documentary.

Brilliant, brilliant documentary, and really does tell the story of a very, very important group of skateboarders.

    • 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.
