Christmas can be a busy time, too busy for music even. Perhaps you just need a festive punch in the face. Enjoy this Christmas time-saver...

The trailer promised one thing, the film delivered something else. Watching it again years later, without those expectations, made for a more enjoyable experience. Three things remain:
The preamble ruined the mystery.
The action ruined the horror.
The ending ruined the mood.

The only problem with Tom Hardy playing Mad Max is, he's a bit generic. He could be Shia LaBeouf, Chris Pratt, etc... jeez, even Wil Wheaton

Kingdom Come (2014)
A group of people wake up in an abandoned hospital, then get chased around by the devil. That sounds promising, but the devil looks like he's auditioning for the role of Dr. Who.
- Terrible script. Terrible acting.
- The film has a "progressive Christian" feel to it.
- "I forgive you, Mommy."

JPEG destruction: 0° vs. 90° vs. 180°
As a follow-up to an experiment involving the degradation of images, seen when rotated in Microsoft's "Image and Fax Viewer", a program was devised to investigate how much of the degradation was caused by the rotation. The image above illustrates that merely saving the image repeatedly, is not conducive to the deterioration. Also interesting is the slight, but discernible, effect 180° rotations have in the process.
context: http://oioiiooixiii.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-effects-of-rotating-images-in.html
The program was originally completed using Processing, but this proved cumbersome as it was unable to handle so many I/O file operations. A program to rotate and save images was later rewritten in Python, which was not hampered by any such issues.
