The Dark Knight Rises - 1/10 - As a huge longtime Batman fan this film fell short on so many accounts. I can't even begin to explain my disappointment almost cried afterwards it was such a let down. =o(

Looper - 9/10 - Awesome movie, loved every second of it. My only beef is adding a bunch of extra hoses and parts to the external parts of cars to seem more futuristic, kinda lame IMO.

Premium Rush - 7/10 - Not too bad, a bit slow, too much filler that wasn't quite necessary.

Flight - 8/10 - A really good movie, can't complain, story compelling, and character development awesome. A bit too slow at times as well.

Frankenweenie - 3/10 - It was ok, really wanted a live action recreation, and the craziness of the monsters that happened seemed a little forced. Not to mention the extreme amount of weird kids made Victor seem non-unique and dull.

Been away from the thread for awhile so I figured I'd catch you guys up on what the wifey and I have been watching. These are all our opinions as well, if you don't agree, that's fine you don't have to.

Do not expect a sequel. The movie bombed BIG time in the box office. Production Budget: $50 million. Worldwide Gross: $31 million.

Actually one movie is fine. It had a decent ending. Not sure if I want a #2 anyway.

Also saw Lincoln. 7/10 for me. Didn't like the end that much.

Just rented Beasts Of The Southern Wild.

Pretty much easily the best movie I have seen this year as far as having an emotional impact.

Wow. Just truly an experience. I have not cried this sincerely watching a movie in quite some time.

It is truly a beautiful movie, and by no means in a corny way whatsoever.

Really was the best movie this year IMHO.

Piranha 3DD (3D). I'm on a 3D craze right now, downloading and watching anything I can find that's 3D.

It's kind of a silly movie, and I seen it once before, but not in 3D, but I figured boobs coming right out at me in 3D would be cool, lol!!

Some films do but they get a huge cult following on DVD release. I really enjoyed Dredd, loved it!

Yeah, I really am hoping that is the case with this movie, and I believe it may be.

I just watched it for the second time, I actually went to the theaters to see it on opening weekend. I was a HUGE original Judge Dredd comic book reader, absolutely loved it, and I really do think as rough around the edges as this movie was, and it is indeed pretty damn rough in some aspects, they did a pretty damn good job of sticking to the source material, but trying to modernize it as well (keep in mind the source material is just over 30 years old now). Was honestly a pretty tall order for someone to pull off to begin with, and I think overall it was a great first attempt, and really think the sequel would be that much better. I am going to go ahead and pick up the BluRay myself in a show of support to get a sequel made.

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

      By Steven P. · Posted

      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 hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

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

      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.
