morbius was really pretty bad. I didn't hate it so much while watching but the further away from it I get, the more I am like "wtf?" - amanda Apr 11, 11:10 1
- it's easily a mid 2000's fox super hero movie that isn't x-men. They really need a strong producer for the Spidey Verse Sony movies -- nm - Remlik Apr 11, 11:44

    - That is surprisingly true -- (link) - oblique Apr 11, 11:38 1
      - i know, it sounds stupid, but they did some good work in that gen upgrade. -- nm - colin Apr 11, 11:41
- 12+ GB of ram? Why? -- nm* - Shaun Apr 11, 11:18 3
  - She thinks more RAM will help even though the problem is she installs bloatware crap. I think 8GB would be fine for her actually. -- nm - Dano Apr 11, 11:34 2
    - 8GB is hard to run a windows machine on 12 to 16 is where i'd fall. -- nm - colin Apr 11, 11:34 1
