Layman question as the news I saw were not very clear about what Crowdstrike does exactly: is it fair to put that in the big "digital protection being more damaging than what it is supposed to protect you against" pile?

I understand this is the TV House and people focus on the TV series in this thread, but since the schedule also includes anime movies, I guess it makes sense to address them here also. I checked the other days these two oddities that are Kurayukaba and Kuramerukagari, two 1 hour long films...

Manhunt (2017) was very very bad... I mean the editor going "How the fuck are we supposed to make a film out of this garbage" bad. Silent Night (2023) was not good, but at least watchable. Not very optimistic about this one, but, who knows?

This is pretty good, but don't expect wall to wall action. There is a solid dose of it (mainly split in two long sequences that bookend the film), but the core of the movie is a love letter to a time and place: Kowloon Walled City in the '80s. Depicted as a kind of social utopia where everyone...

Maybe I expected too much, but this good looking, decently acted film is marred by a shockingly weak script. It still kinda works, because even a terribly written investigation plays on our curiosity, our fundamental thirst for truth in the face of mystery.

Seeing this tomorrow night. Very positive word of mouth from people who already saw it earlier in the week.

I have a screening of this scheduled for Saturday night. It will be weather dependent though because it's in an Open Air :D

A Terminator mini serie by Production I.G. ? Color me curious.

A bit late to the party, but I just saw this. Interesting show. I was surprised to read in this thread a season 2 has been in the work for years though, especially since a new season will have to be very different from the first. Potentially interesting also, but very different.

Relevant to this thread, BarbarousKing's review of the DLC: After beating it with a Strength-Faith build, the madman immediately went at it again with a level 1 character. Last night he was at the final boss of the DLC and he is posting the boss fights on his you Tube. In those you really get...

Spoilers I guess, but it's not exactly what is shown. The initial members of the club are a diverse group of... I guess one could say misfits. Some have regular jobs and families, but they just happen to have this calling for a sort of alternate way of life, a certain sense of freedom. They are...

Saw it and was not overly thrilled. More than anything, it's a portrait of an era and of a sub-culture. There are some interesting elements to it, like how motorcycle club culture drifts from a certain idea of a marginalised life style to criminal activity, but that's not the core of the film. I...

The two parties involved are legally bound to silence and absolutely able to sue anyone not abiding to it, so anyone yapping about what happened is talking out of their ass, extremely stupid or both. Most likely both.

Some interesting ideas in this, but they certainly are not gracefully implemented in the scenario. It feels like the characters never figure out anything by themselves. They always need some other character or some document to do chunks of exposition that move the plot forward. Very lame. To be...

Uwe Boll plays a bit part has himself in one of the best films of 2023: Radu Jude's Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World.
