    I was the same with “La grande bellezza” (The Great Beauty). An Italian art drama movie about an aging journalist and critic. It has a few nudity/sex scenes.

    I’ve never finished the movie, because every time I started watching it with a girl, we just ended up making out. It’s a pretentious looking movie at first with lots of beautiful long shots and art, so it’s an easy sell for humanities oriented people.

    I was doing the eye thing during the scenes of course. Maybe we ended up having sex each time because they wanted me to stop staring at them.

    Mood:


  • I have a volume, let’s call it “Shit I put in here that I have randomly acquired over the years”, mostly smallish files of any nature, text, image, executables, archives, that I’ve been carrying with me for over two decades, cloning from one drive upgrade to the next, surviving multiple systems. I’ve noticed that starting with Windows 7, defender without so much as a notification, started removing random files it deems malicious. I suspect they may have been quarantined at first, but other times outright deleted, as I’m sure the default behaviour settings have been overridden by updates numerous times.
    I’ve had a couple executables that were doing direct memory reading and injection for some MMOs, think packet sniffing or botting/automating certain tedious tasks, and defender would eliminate the executable without so much as a warning when I have extracted backup archive of it.

    Then there was the infamous case of DeCSS, and defender removing anything related to it from drives, ignoring white lists, removing it from SMBs even where it had write access, and always categorizing it as something else, now malicious.

    And I’m pretty sure it also removed a copy of The Terrorist’s Handbook in doc format at one point from my drive.
