No notes were taken. I doubt I’ll re-watch this any time soon, if ever.

This is a standard Hollywood film, with extra emphasis on Nationalism. Has some offensively American moments, but is generally okay. It’s a bloody long film.

Vampires and lichen lychen lycan werewolves continue their centuries-long war, but the werewolves seek to gain the upper hand in hunting down a particular human.

A great movie which would be well-loved except for the unexplained, unnecessary and horrifying coloured contacts and occasional plot holes. Oh, and a more convincing main bad guy. Hot actors and convincing characters.. that about sums up my expectations for bubblegum action movies like this.

  • I have two versions, but I seem to have misplaced one. =(

EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem in user-space. It runs without any special permissions and uses the FUSE library module to provide the filesystem interface.

2016-12-28 – I have no memory of using this. Boy will it be awkward if I come across stuff encrypted with it.

A lightweight web browser.

I thought it had hope but needed significant work.

http://links.twibright.com/

A fast, open source, cross-platform Web browser based on the Links web browser.

Where Lynx is the standard console web browser for most Linux distributions and is complete shit, Links is fucking awesome.

I had used this for some time but abandoned it for a while. I’ll try it again eventually.

The Young Master - (1980) image

to be re-watched

A surprisingly cool plot. Snazzy music and interesting accents on the dubbing. Features fights with a white fan (folded and out), a good multi swordfight, bench-foo and skirt-foo.

  • FIXME – My DVD skips at a cool bench-foo fight. Crap!
