I saw the surveillance headline and was immediately reminded of this scene from the hilarious (and poignant) Four Lions:

I read that as Kermit and was really looking forward to hack and slash as my favorite frog.

Wouldn't it have been a no-brainer to make headphones resembling Princess Leia's hairdo? Maybe a miniature gold bra replica at the point where they joins the cord.

Looks damn good, a little like if Torchlight's art style was used with a different perspective.

It could be good or not, but Neeson at least seems more interested and lively than in the umpteen Taken sequels/knockoffs he has been.

Eh, would have preferred a Tomb Raider style 3rd person adventure to this. Only some 4 enemy models, repeated ad nauseaum. These guys appear to be as immortal as the Ghost Who Walks

Sorry to hear about Monolith. They had some great games (Blood 1, NOLF 1&2) and some great ideas for games (Shogo, Shadow of Mordor), and Jason Hall was an interesting personality. Hope their IP's find a home in terms of at least being available and playable on the major game distribution platforms, even if not actually worked on for new content.

I can't claim to know Jack-S about this, but a tech-nerd friend with whom I was casually discussing the matter had this to say:

It's the connector. They are passing 600 watts from a connector that's only good for 100. These idiots are going to burn entire cities down with their new connectors designed in collaboration with fellow idiots at PCI-SIG who also cannot read data sheets. High wattage silicon is a clear sign of a monopoly deciding against spending on R&D and instead spending a few cents extra on aluminium to compensate for shit IPC gains with raw electricity and heat dissipation. The tech equivalent of throwing more people at the job instead of using technology to optimize things.

CB's Undying had fantastic art direction, both the Victorian real world and the Otherworld. Also loved the combo of spells and weapons. It used a version of the UT engine IIRC.

I saw the movie at a recent film festival in my city and was touched by how positively the young man and his family dealt with the genetic limitations he had to face.

It's why I got so annoyed way back when everyone was falling over themselves praising the first Avatar as a great movie. It was unequivocally not a great movie. It wasn't even a good movie; it was pretty bad. It was a stunning technical cinematic achievement at the time but as a movie it was awful. And people got distracted by that so much that I kept getting told what a great movie it was.
It was the same with Star Wars. But movies are also about visual achievements, especially when they are the paradigm-altering kind. That's what makes them different from novels and plays.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to see the prequel first and then re-watch Fury Road? That's what I did.
Furiosa has more exposition and dialog, it's not a non-stop chase. I especially liked Chris Hemsworth's performance.

Sad about Furiosa. It's a little bloated with exposition about the various factions and their dealings, but the action when it happens has the same intensity and clarity of flow that Fury Road had, without imitating scenes. I imagine CGI was used to enhance the action and weather effects, it's not like your Marvel movies where you're essentially watching one CG figure smashing into another. ATJ surprised me with how much she got into the physicality of the part. But Chris Hemsworth has the most fun. His Dementus is by turns a blusterer, a comic, a megalomaniac, a traitor...yet in the end he almost wins our sympathy with a superbly delivered monologue about how vengeance never takes away the pain.
While I would have liked for a more crisp adventure, I still had a good time at the cinema, which is really where you should be catching this spectacle.
