What was the last movie you watched?


Recommended Posts

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.

    • 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!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
