Borderlands (2024)

I came to watch Cate Blanchett.

This movie is supposed to be funny. It is obnoxiously unfunny.

There are some seriously questionable special effects in this movie.

The bloodless PG-13 action is bland and uninspired.

This is a blatant copy of Guardians of the Galaxy, but with the humor and soul removed.

So much talent wasted on this terrible film.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Rated 1 out of 10.

Streamed on Starz.

Regarding the loss of the ability to use a local account instead of a Microsoft Account when setting up Windows…

“Whatever your reasoning, you'll need to find a different workaround for future Windows versions.”

Yes, the best workaround is to install Linux.

I'm not sure, just the vibe wasn't gelling with me. Like I said, it looks like people like it a lot and this isn't about the movie. It's just a me thing.

I did not finish Speak No Evil (2024). It maybe a good film, but I couldn't get into it.

Amazon is going to be disabling the privacy feature that processes voice commands locally on Echo devices at the end of this month. Instead, all voice commands will be sent to Amazon's cloud for processing.

I have already followed my own steps to remediate this:

1. Unplug Echo Device
2. Throw Echo Device in Trash
3. Done

Sneakers (1992):

What's wrong with this country, Marty? Money. You taught me that. Evil defense contractors had it, noble causes did not. Politicians are bought and sold like so much chattel. Our problems multiply. Pollution, crime, drugs, poverty, disease, hunger, despair; we throw gobs of money at them! The problems always get worse. Why is that? Because money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it.

Tonight's movie is The Marvels (2023).

It's a rewatch, I like the movie because it's short and entertaining enough. Ok fine, I like the movie because: Brie Be My Valentine?

I love the scene when James Earl Jones' voice booms from the darkness of the office and the team get to ask for what they want in exchange for the box.

Such a great way to wrap up Sneakers.

Millions of Garmin devices are crashing. The reason given is that the GPS satellite pre-cache file is corrupt. What Garmin hasn’t said is why millions have failed at the same time.

Anyways, if your device is broke, here’s a fix.
