12/8/2023 0 Comments Streaming v for vendetta![]() The fact they managed to resist showing the face beneath the mask is amazing frankly, seeing as they couldn't resist the old slow motion martial arts stuff (you can see The Wachowski Brothers were here).but that might be in the graphic novel, I haven't seen it. The visuals can be striking at times but oddly basic at others, almost verging on TV movie standards.Ī clever film where the main (anti) hero is more a symbol of the people, the movement and less of an individual person with fancy fighting moves. In short this is very much your 'Batman' type affair accept it has a more simple minimalistic feel or approach, remember its set in merry old England and not a forest of gothic skyscrapers. ![]() The dark grey tones, dark alleyways, dark rooftops, the darkly cloaked anti hero, shadows galore and the much required dark anti hero logo that will eventually Adorn most badly lit vicinities. Its visuals that do bring this film to life like many other similar films. Black and red are the strong piercing colours of the 'Norsefire party', cliched but effective, much like their whole exterior appearance really but lets not forget this is a graphic novel adaptation where visuals are everything. In fact the whole design and look of the fascist party is really well done with clear references/influences from history in certain scenes of addressing the nation. ![]() Hurt's performance is pretty much limited to simply being on a large TV screen/monitor, but the way he barks out orders in a menacing torrent to his subordinates is really a joy to watch. Who better to use for the fascist regime leader than the main lead for the film adaptation of the Orwell novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four', John Hurt. She spends the whole time in this film looking distraught with her mouth hanging open and gasping for air! its quite infuriating. The less said about Portman the better frankly, she is becoming more and more annoying as she grows older. Its quite strange to actually think that he was rather dashing even though his face is hidden behind that mask, you tend to forget he's wearing a mask really, its a good looking mask. He played the character in full as we know but his polite charming well spoken mannerisms really sold the whole anti hero character and gave him this endearing Errol Flynn like persona. Why would someone in the 2030's idolise and copy a 16th Century criminal, despite his treasonous act which isn't actually much to celebrate really.Īnyway I can't deny that Weaving's smooth charismatic tones were prefect for the voice of 'V'. I understand the notion of using the terrorist act of blowing up Parliament as brilliant symbol/sign of rebellion against the dictatorship that governs this universes UK, but why the need to dress up like Guy Fawkes complete with silly period wig and quaint facial mask?. What I have always found weird about this graphic novel creation is the obsession with Guy Fawkes. The plot is strange for sure, set in the future of the 2030's, its all about a totalitarian run UK and a certain freedom fighter (with the noted Guy Fawkes fetish) who uses the old 16th Century attempted terrorist act as his main influence for his own terror attacks.of freedom.Ī curious blend of fascism set against anarchy with an all American style matinée serial/pulp magazine hero in the middle. kind of a kinky dressing up as Guy Fawkes fetish thing going on. There's a definite Guy Fawkes motive running through this film isn't there, didn't notice at first (yes I'm being sarcastic). ![]() Natalie Portman's accent falls off at times, but the lispiness seems at least consistent, and her performance throughout is every bit as good as her Oscar-winning one, though I do think she plays too coy during her "confession" with Father Lilliman so that she seems to be toying with him to aid in V's plan instead of seeking asylum for herself. Ben Miles of "Coupling" is also quite high of power and forehead. Stephen Rea's yammy face and the smallest twitch of his lips convey Inspector Finch's every disguised exasperation at the tyrannical government he's tasked to protect, and this time around, I was truly invested in his character arc. I must also give kudos to the impressive cadre of British thespians that I was unfamiliar with before. I love the brilliantly paced and lovingly lit second act when Evey is taken prisoner and we learn Valerie's heartbreaking story. ![]() I love Dario Marianelli's soaring arpeggios and was surprised that I hadn't taken notice of him until "Atonement" in 2007. I love the high angle shots in the onyx, low-lit war room, with all those contemptuous whites of eyes staring up at the oppressive video feed of our corn-grilled chancellor. In 2005, I was blissfully enthralled by Natalie Portman in her follicular heyday, so I didn't quite appreciate the philosophical core of this visually and aurally stunning film. ![]()

12/8/2023 0 Comments Do vivid dreams mean deep sleep![]() ![]() ![]() You’re less likely to have a sleep disorder, and less likely to feel daytime drowsiness. Good dreams can indicate that you’re getting enough sleep and waking up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. This can lead to sleep deprivation, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. If you’re not dreaming at all, it can be a sign that you’re not getting enough REM sleep during the night. Bad dreams are also more common among people with sleep disorders, so frequent nightmares can be a sign of a sleep disorder. Bad dreams can be linked to daytime drowsiness and fatigue, trouble concentrating, and increased stress and anxiety. Do you have bad dreams almost every night? This is tied to insomnia, trouble falling asleep, and lower sleep quality. How Nightly Dreams Impact your Daily Lifeĭreams can have an impact on your life. Confusing, strange, or bizarre dreams can also be good dreams that help your brain process memories and emotions. Either way, good dreams can be a sign that you’re getting a great night’s sleep. Researchers don’t know if pleasant dreams make you sleep better, or if having a good sleep makes your dreams peaceful. When you get a good night’s rest, you’ll probably remember having peaceful dreams. Good dreams don’t usually affect the quality of your sleep. Finding a way to manage daytime stress, as well as getting to the root of what’s making you stressed, will help you avoid bad dreams. You may have some past issues that need to be resolved, have a negative outlook on life, or feel weighed down by stress. However, if you have bad dreams several times per week, it can point to some negative thinking. We all have negative dreams from time to time, and this won’t impact the overall quality of your sleep. ![]() The dream can also be on your mind the following day, creating worry or stress.īad dreams are normal. Bad dreams won’t make you spend more or less time in REM sleep, but they can make it harder to fall asleep at night or get enough sleep. You will have a hard time falling asleep again and you’ll get less sleep overall. When you have a scary dream or nightmare it can affect your sleep. Regardless of what you’re dreaming about, dreams can have some effect on the quality of your sleep. If you’re feeling calm and relaxed, your dreams will probably be pleasant. ![]() If you’re feeling stressed and anxious, you’re more likely to have bad dreams. They can help us replay events that happened during the day, or a future event we’re worried about. If you wake up during REM sleep, you’re more likely to remember what you were dreaming about.ĭreams can be images, feelings, emotions, or stories you experience during sleep. During this phase your brain shows almost the same level of activity as when you’re awake.ĭuring this phase of sleep, your dreams will be the most vivid, and these are the dreams you’re most likely to remember when you wake up. Dreams can occur at any time during the night, and in any sleep stage, but most of your dreams will happen during REM, or Rapid Eye Movement sleep. What Happens When You Dream?ĭreams are part of a normal night of sleep. Dreaming is completely normal and can actually tell you something about the quality of your sleep.
12/8/2023 0 Comments Bettersnaptool appked![]() ![]() For example, when it came to snapping windows full-screen, for some reason Magnet would signal the PC Mission Control feature. It is similar in function but was glitchy in some aspects. I like the customizable features, keystroke shortcuts, intuitive and seamless function which makes using OS windows a delight now.Ī few months back I saw that Magnet had promotional pricing, so I bought it to see how well it worked. Actually, I believe BetterSnapTool is the first Windows app I purchased and have used it for years. However, I found the native support for window control in PC VERY irritating…until I discovered BetterSnapTool. Although there are aspects of MS Win which I still like - like native windows snapping - I am delighted to have discovered what all the fuss is about over Microsoft and it’s products. Having been a die-hard Windows user for decades, a Win10 crash, unrecoverable backup image and resulting lost data tipped the scales for me and shortly thereafter I bought my first Pc. Tried several PC windows management tools and like BetterSnapTool the best. However, the addition of this app adds another level of convenience and organization. I make use of all trackpad gestures, and in any ways, this makes Windows Os a breeze. It’s also a quick way to get things out of the way. This gets me out of trouble when certain apps don’t play well with Windows Os and don’t properly switch out of full screen mode or won’t resize between screens easily. I set up double clicking on the title bar to move the selected window to a specific area with a specific size. ![]() I also implemented an “extra” feature that comes included. Less time manually resizing and coordinating finder and app windows is required as a result of this app. Once implementing a couple of drop zones that trigger a window layout, I quickly discovered that this tool saves a lot of time and energy. It took less than two mintues for me to understand it, using the video. The developer has an instructional video showing how to use this app. Overall, this is the single best app I have ever purchased for actually improving productivity in PC. Once you train your fingers, the integration is completely seamless. You simply set various window positions to unique key combinations of modifiers for each position on the screen. However, I have not found this to be a limitation at all. you can’t hold a modifier and hit the arrow kyes twice to have a window occupy two differnt spaces like you can in Windows). It does not have the same multi-step snapping features that Windows Snaps have (e.g. The BetterSnapTool has been the perfect solution for incorporating Windows-like snaps into Windows OS and has many additional features that really make it nice for customizing the location(s) off application windows. I began to despise working on my Windows anytime I needed to do any kind of multi-software tasks and really don’t like the the Spaces/Mission Control feature that separates applications into different windows. You can also customize what should happen after right-clicking one of the buttons on the top left of a window.īeing a long time Windows user that also does a considerable amount of work in Windows, it was blatantly obvious how much of a handicap not having snaps was for Windows OS. BetterSnapTool works with almost every application, only some apps with non-standard windows can't be supported.Ĩ. move or resize the window below the cursor while holding customizable modifier keys.ħ.Because there are so many positions available, BetterSnapTool can also pop up an overview menu from which you can select the one position you want. ![]() To be even more productive you can also set custom keyboard shortcuts in order to move and resize your windows.ĥ. ![]() If you need even more than those standard snap areas, BetterSnapTool now allows you to create your own, custom snap areas anywhere on your display.Ĥ. This enables you to easily maximize your windows, position them side by side or even resize them to quarters of the screen.ģ. BetterSnapTool allows you to easily manage your window positions and sizes by either dragging them to one of the screen's corners or to the top, left or right side of the screen.Ģ. ![]() 12/7/2023 0 Comments Tampa bay lightning roster may 4th![]() This is actually something the Leafs are doing with John Tavares (injured) and Nick Robertson (minors) for their opening games. But that can only happen for Game 2 of the season. If the Lightning really wanted Cirelli and Bogosian ready sooner, they can play one skater short (presumably Koepke at 3LW) in move that would allow them to bring up a free “emergency exemption” player up from the minors until Cirelli is back. Without them on LTIR making the cap work for the first game is extremely tricky, and impossible for the roster Koepke and Myers were promised to be on. If we are to believe the Lightning for not putting either player on LTIR, this indicates they could be back sooner than expected. However, neither Cirelli or Bogosian is on LTIR yet, they’re just on regular IR. In this scenario, two of Fleury, Fortier, and Koepke would have to be reassigned. If put on LTIR (they are not there as of yesterday), their return could at the earliest be November 3rd vs Carolina. This comes close to the 10 games and 24 days minimum players need to be on LTIR for in order for its use. This is the state of the cap sheet for today, but what’s going to happen when Bogosian and Cirelli are healthy? Both players are currently rehabbing matching shoulder surgeries that were expected to keep them out until mid-November. Stamkos was also questionable, but Gabriel Fortier is already on the roster just in case. The Lightning will be at 23 players at that point and would need to use IR to open up another roster spot should that be necessary. He’s expected to play the opener, but in case he is unable to go, Nick Perbix can be called up to fill in. Some notes on the roster: Sergachev missed the final preseason game of the season he was scheduled to play in due to an injury. Pat Maroon – Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – Corey Perry Steven Stamkos – Brayden Point – Nikita KucherovĬole Koepke – Vladislav Namestnikov – Ross Colton That contract is stuck where it is and LTIR/IR is not available. Officially, he’s counted towards the 22 players and his $3 million is against the cap, but he won’t be playing. On Ian Cole’s suspension, he is on the cap but away from the team pending an investigation. Cirelli, however, will need to go on LTIR in order to promote Koepke and Myers. Note: it is possible to have a compliant roster without Bogosian on LTIR and $3.6 million in space - he can just be on IR should the team choose to do that. I talk about the other less likely scenario a little later, but for now the Lightning should have $4.45 million in cap space to work with the 22-player roster they desire. They achieved this, and will probably be putting Cirelli and Bogosian on LTIR today. Tampa Bay’s new LTIR upper limit/ACSL is $82,499,967, which is $33 from the max. Philippe Myers was sent down and Pierre-Cédric Labrie got an NHL contract at a very specific number all so the Lightning could be $33 within the cap ceiling so the ACSL (read: new cap ceiling while in LTIR) could as close to $82.5 million as possible. ![]() Or at the very least reach the Stanley Cup Final for the fourth year in a row, a feat that hasn’t been seen since the 70s and 80s dynasty Canadiens and Islanders.Īs always in a salary cap league, the Bolts roster looked funky yesterday as the deadline for teams to become compliant hit.

They’re also fantastic for days when you want to be comfy yet not appear as if you just rolled out of bed.

Here’s why: no one is going to mistake them for slacks or jeans, but they are 100% more acceptable than crappy sweats. It’s not because they are “meggings” (leggings for men), but something much more. In fact, I’d call these “leggings for men” – in this best way possible. However, if you want an extremely comfortable pair of pants that are super versatile, we’d recommend that you check out Public Rec’s All Day Every Day Pants.Īfter wearing these pants for the first time, I was hoping they would be a replacement to jeans but found out that is not quite true. ![]() Do you want to not read the whole thing (or watch it, in this case)?

12/7/2023 0 Comments Hifi rush invaders must die![]() All you need to do is parry Korsica during this fight.Īnd it’s just really fun, unique, and shockingly cool. But this boss fight is ALL about these QTEs. These QTEs are normally an occasional game play mechanic used to parry some specific enemies. And every time Korsica attacks, all the player has to do is perform some stylish QTEs. The main protagonists debate about how best to defeat AND persuade Korsica. A tense musical theme pulses throughout the fight. But here, for the entirety of the fight, Korsica and the main character circle each other. The game is normally a free-flowing character action game. Instead, the boss fight is all about parrying!ĭuring the entire boss fight, your only goal is to parry each of Korsica’s attacks until she is tired out. And because our protagonists sense that she is a good person, and because they sense she can be persuaded, this boss fight isn’t about using violence to beat her into submission. In this boss fight, you’re up against Korsica, the head of security for her CEO (the main antagonist of the game). The game has sublime, crisp and stylish action game play - that’s the game’s DNA.īut the chapter 7 boss fight puts a little bit of a twist on the game’s genre. That’s the genre that we’re working with here. Think of games like Bayonetta, or Devil May Cry. Something that is important to note is that this game is a 3rd-person character action game. But one thing that sticks with me, one thing that I sometimes randomly think about, is the game’s Chapter 7 boss fight. There are all sorts of things that are so good about the game. I absolutely love that game, but I don’t think that I properly articulated why I love the game so much. View a set of screenshots at the gallery.I’ve made a thread in the past claiming that Hi-Fi Rush is a masterpiece. Players get access to the other items after beating the opening stage and can change their outfits in the Hideout. Note: Gears are immediately available after purchase. *Each of the Chai Outfits includes a hairstyle, scarf, jacket, trousers and shoes which can be mixed and matched with the T-shirts and guitar skins.
