Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

Intouchables
I wanted to start 2024 with something easy to straighten up my mood, and this worked quite well. Sure, trivial and predictable in all its laughs and tearjerking moments, but still, it's crafted just for that and it's what it gets well.

Happy New Year to everyone, especially to those of you who are still recovering from all the relatives that have been showing up these days with the same topics to discuss they had the last time. Yay!

Re: Games section

I don't play much of anything any more but unfathomable desires led me back to Pro Pinball Timeshock. I loved it as a kid because he was so close to the real thing, and I only tasted the real thing once because pinball machines weren't easy to be found around me. Now with the help of archive.org and...

Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

The Childe I haven't watched many films from the Eastern side of our planet this year, but that's because I have not really been looking hard enough for them. I have yet to catch the latest Godzilla, but I went with this South Korean neo-noir last night which left me pretty much cold. I mean, by no...

Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire I love how complicated my opinion of Zack Snyder is. Either I love his output (his affair with DC comics and, more importantly, Sucker Punch ) or I hate it fiercely (everything he wanted to say with zombies makes no sense to me). What should I make of this, th...

Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

Silent Night This must be a joke. There is so little of John Woo in this I think they just put his name there to attract any attention at all. I know the great old times of The Killer , Bullet in the Head , and Hard Boiled are gone, but still, it's been 20 years now without something I can truly lo...

Re: EDC, gadgets and gear stuff

^ So the Fujitsu Esprimo Q920 arrived damaged (which I don't think is what "refurbished" means, by the way) and I had to send it back to the seller. I opted for NiPoGi MiniPC, let's see if I have better luck with this.

Re: EDC, gadgets and gear stuff

My dear, old HP MicroServer died. Well, it's my fault mostly because I put it in a place where cooling off was hard, and Plex these days was really tiring the hell out of it. I ordered a refurbished Fujitsu Esprimo Q920 and a Vultech MU-UPS02 to at least keep the UPS around and use it with the new m...

Scorsese doing what he is great at and making it look like everyone can do the same which of course is far from the truth.

Bottoms It doesn't always work for me, but when it does it's brilliant. Its best moments reminded me of Detention , a film so dear to me. Full River Red Zhang Yimou made a film as intricate as ever, like a full-blown chess game where everything is about anticipation and reaction at the right time. ...

Re: BOOK! (Hardcopy edition)

Forgot to update here in a while, but I was busy with Tadié's biography on Proust. I picked up a novel for a break:
