Bad Guys 2,  Ehh.. Both 1st one and now new one is pretty soft. Not ground breaking, but casually cajole enough, solidly watchable..

Elio,  10/10 Kids movie.

Adult reviewers merely need something to Hate-on to project themselves / fuel to justify their meaningless existence. Don't mind them, they're sick.


For its intended audience, this movie is Perfection,  plot,  message,  teaching moments, pacing,  animation, colors, HDR,  flawless execution.

If you don't want your kid to become a murdering psychopath that hates Mexicans, ala-Fortnite/Pubg/Battlefield,  they aught to watch movies such as these.

/Tp4 recommends.

Pedro Pascal, Phinix wifu is a perv. ;)

I like Pedro, but I don't like that Dakota - she is dead for me after that grey movie.

Tp4 prefers, Classic Kelly LeBrock, and Marisa Tomei.

However, nobody can beat Christina Hendricks...

Finally got around to watching the new Mission impossible.

Now, the whole movie is pretty bad, but this "tech" part.

So they got this bundle of wires, they're supposed to be solar panels, now patched in to become "antennas",  the wiring quality is shown below.

And the two alligator clips from the now-Antenna go into a receiver.


This is supposed to transmit 360 Terabytes of data, in 100ms.

That is 36 Terabyte per second, over a pair of alligator clips that's hook up to some hand wired solar panels.  Whaaaaaaa?

Hand wired 23awg, very well done will do 10 gigabit over 4 twist pair ethernet, which is only 0.00125 Terabyte/second


And they want 36 Terabyte/sec,  Wirelessly over a pair of alligator clips.


The copper simply won't support it, Antennas have to be made of a very specific material, at a specific length thickness (dimensions) TUNED to the specific frequency they're supposed to receive.   There is no way a make shift antenna would have the right characteristics to transmit that much data properly.

Wifi 7 is only theoretically 46gigabit, we can't even do that outside of a lab.
