Regarding your spoiler:

I don't remember that bit.  I might have missed it being distracted thinking about something else in the film that was bugging me lol.

Ah I remember that now.  Thing is though it's not much of a security measure, seeing as it doesn't actually stop another person forcably extracting the data from whoever has it, plus it seems that you can view the data without extracting it (as Spider does at one point).  The movie as far as I remember doesn't say why the data has to even be transfered from head to head, I don't remember it making it clear that you can't just ransfer it from head to an external hard drive...which means you die whilst the criminals get your data with no consequence to themselves.

...True. I remember thinking before that it was a strangely inefficient copy protection. Clearly they needed the end result of that protection program to make the ending play out the way it does but I'm sure they could have thought of some other reason for it.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Transformers: Age of Extinction.

I shall sum it up with these three videos:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogId4kCae1A" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogId4kCae1A</a>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-9n2ImgJQ0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-9n2ImgJQ0</a>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVhGVEsYoQk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVhGVEsYoQk</a>

Actually that's being a little unfair...those videos are for more enjoyable and they don't steal nearly 3 hours of your life.

I liked AOE, as it opened up a interesting plot line that Bay will most likely fuck up like his last trilogy's arc. Plus, all the transfans are going on about it being the squids when it's totally the Vok. So much fertile ground for trolling and flame wars, there are little mes running all over the place!

I am truly the neoplasm of all fandoms.

I did kind of like Transformers 1 and I might have liked this one too in the same way I sometimes enjoy a Big Mac if it had've been the first Transformers movie.  But we've had 3 before and they're all really, really similar which makes them increasingly boring with each new iteration.  And this one did not need to be nearly 3 hours long, it could've been half as long and lost nothing.  Also the product placement is almost constant and so un-subtle and done in such inappropriate places in the film it's actually distracting and takes me right out of the moment.  It really did feel like a compilation of car comericals.

I can see how someone could get some enjoyment out if this film, we all have an inner 10 year old in our brain somewhere, but I think I'm just done with this franchise. One was enough for me, 4 is too many when there's not enough to differentiate them.  Plus as I get older I find myself wanting more from films than mindless junk-food style entertainment.  Which is a shame in a way 'coz I'm worried some day I'll stop finding indescribable joy in Arnold Schwarzenegger movies :(

Also... the did writer of T:AoE really go out of his way to research Texas' under-age sex laws?  Because that's just creepy and all kinds of "eww".

I just got done binging on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".

I know, it's a TV show instead of a movie, but I'm counting it, dammit!

Next day: "Ravenous", a horromedy about cannibalism based loosely on legends of the wendigo. Well worth a watch.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

Roomie and I have been doing Redbox weekends lately.  $3 for two blu-ray movies that look decent, and we'll sit down with lunch or dinner and watch one or both.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Vikingdom.  It's rubbish and Dominic Purcell is about as charasmatic a lead as a heavily sedated slug.  His performace also suggests he might not be entirley familiar with these wee things commonly known as "emotions".

This Is the End. Funny but not terribly inspired, which is roughly what I expected going in.

Speaking of endings, did that Left Behind remake ever get made?

Supposedly, it's supposed to be released later this year. I wonder how they'll handle the scintillating details of the characters' predatory urges, sexual hangups and travel logistics.

Also, last night I watched a ho-hum direct-to-DVD called "Hammer of the Gods". Ironically, the protagonist is an atheist (in ninth-century Viking England) and the only character who uses an actual warhammer is killed off about three-quarters of the way through. Other than that, it's pretty standard "hero's journey" material.

we might go see the Left Behind remake... simply for Nic Cage.
