Samsung Galaxy S8 +: A day of testing with the new boss of smartphones!

sivertime — Fri, 21 Apr 2017 14:34:49 +0000

The Galaxy S8 + was delivered to us by Samsung. I had the opportunity to spend a day next to this smartphone. And here are my first impressions, waiting for my complete test.
10h : Ouloulou, I am one of the lucky ones who will test the Samsung Galaxy S8 +. I’m a bit ashamed, but nothing but the packaging of the new Korean smartphone gives me as much thrill as a new album by Kendrick Lamar. It is open. Aesthetically, the Galaxy S8 + has nothing to do with its elders . He throws it but still risks to keep the fingerprints of all my friends on his back shell. Well, I’m not going to make it difficult. The Galaxy S8 Plus’s very strong technical sheet sells a dream, what more can you ask for?
10h30 : Aesthetically, the Samsung Galaxy S8 + tutoie perfection. Despite its 6.2 inches, this new smartphone is very compact and offers a beautiful grip. With its sleek front, the Galaxy S8 + is synonymous with Waouh. Its Infinity screen can leave you speechless. In my hands, I felt like I was just holding a screen. Ultra-light and very thin, the Galaxy S8 + gives a real visual and sensorial slap.
11h : The first surprise that bluffs me on this Galaxy S8 is its home button. Pressing it, I felt a pressure on the finger while it is not even a real button. The new home button simulates the sensations (like your girlfriend) of a physical button. But it was mostly the screen that put a real slap. OLED requires, the contrast is effective and much better than that of any LCD screen (there is no photo with the iPhone 7 for example).
12h : Once the Samsung Galaxy S8 + has been configured, I tackle the heavy subject: the camera. And there, magic operates! The colors are hallucinating, the sensor adapts to all conditions of brightness, from the sun terrace to the subway dipped in the dark. Unlike other manufacturers, Samsung did not crack for the dual photo sensor . And even if it is only 12 megapixels, If the Galaxy S8 and S8 + are satisfied with a definition of 12 megapixels, it is mainly to capture more light. The editing of melty is more beautiful than true.
13h : It’s time for lunch and the opportunity to check that the Galaxy S8 + is waterproof. Yes, Samsung’s new phone is IP68 certified, allowing it to be immersed for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.50 meters and resisting dust. Well, I took my courage to slide the Galaxy S8 + in a glass of water (it’s less than a meter 50 but I’m already scared enough). The phone recovered well and I was able to navigate between oklm applications.
15h : Well, I decided to download the game Asphalt Xtrem to see what it looks like on Galaxy S8 +. After all, chopping rare creatures has never hurt anyone! The result is canon.
16h : After a rather dense little day, the Galaxy S8 + displays 60% of battery. Dammit . To conclude, this smartphone is a pleasure to use and it is probably the best I could try. I look forward to testing Bixby and the performance of this smartphone which should benefit from an update to correct its red veil.

If you’re addicted to gambling, these movies make you relive too many tricks

In the cinema, we can talk about everything. Including gambling and people who go crazy when they pass the doors of a casino.
There is bound to be something to be learned. The simple emotion, the adrenaline, the possibility to change a life, the choking failures, to know how to keep calm, when to stop … Mine of nothing, through the games of cards, the blackjack, the roulette and other, Learn life lessons . At worst, you spend two hours watching a good movie.
Rain Man
Charlie Babbitt is a player, and a ruined player. So when he learns that he must perceive an inheritance, it is a miracle. Except … that it passes under his nose. Then he seeks out why, to whom the money has gone. And he discovers that he has an autistic brother, Raymond Hoffman. Which shows incredible abilities when it comes to mathematics and calculation. What does Charlie do? He takes her to Las Vegas for a ride, as if by chance . And in addition, the two brothers end up making real bonds. Is not that nice?

Scams, crimes and botany
You surely know “Snatch” of Guy Ritchie, and well this one remains in the same vein. And of the same time. In the shallows, with lascars, to the rather limit-limit behaviors. Here we see four friends collecting all their money to allow the best of them to challenge Harry Lonsdale to the cards . Problem: their champion Eddy is plucked, the game was rigged. He palms everything and the four thugs find themselves in the uncomfortable position of owing money to a big ugly.

The Scam
The film dates a little but did not take a wrinkle. Released in 1973, he had won several awards: photo, screenplay, best director. Then, when you have Robert Redford and Paul Newman at the cast, it’s not disgusting. Inspired by real facts, taking up the misdeeds of real scammers who confided in David Maurer’s book (“The Big Coin”), the film shows us a certain Johnny Hooker tempted the risky shot of the Pigeon Drop. Give his thunes hoping for a return on investment, based on trust. There, Johnny bet $ 11,000 in cash to catch a larger sum afterwards. Obviously, he has in front of a bastard, organized crime boss, Doyle Lonnegan …

Ocean’s Eleven
You want the example of a guy who never stops? Take Danny Ocean. While he is incarcerated, he only thinks of one thing: to point the biggest casinos in Las Vegas . As a project of reconversion and awareness, we saw better. His partner, Rusty Ryan, is hot boiling, so the two companions recruit a shock team. Seen the casting and the realization, you can only love. Without much pretension, you have a lot of fun. The actors too, apparently.

Casino
A classic. Perhaps even THE classic in casino and gaming movies. Sent to Las Vegas by the Chicago Mafia, Sam Rothstein runs a casino and has to make sure that the interests of his clan are respected, protected . Accompanied by his friend, Nicky Santoro, everything rolls. They do biff, they control the city. Then the machine stops. A woman not simple, a stubborn cop, skidding … Another good Scorsese. If you had to retain only one, what would it be?

The whims of actors sometimes prove to be a good thing

sivertime — Thu, 09 Feb 2017 17:58:42 +0000

It is believed to know the whims and other slippages of some. Sometimes they were hallucinating, while others were right to insist. Examples.
Val Kilmer: “The Island of Doctor Moreau”
Basically, he had to play one of the main roles. Then he said he had better things to do, that producers had to reduce his share of scenes by 40% for it to be available. Already, it changes everything. Then, he did not stop questioning the choices of the director, Richard Stanley. Until the transfer to the project . Val, frankly … And it’s not over! To conclude, he demanded that the other actors see their lines modified or withdrawn, to leave all the light. The film will not be so bad finally, go for this time Val.
Crispin Glover: “Charlie and his funny ladies”
The pro of the negotiation. The guy gets the script, the bed and finds his replicas nil to shit. And not one or a few, all! So, rather than any change or leave the project, he has an idea: his character is mute . Finally, he does not speak, basically. McG agrees, go hop, forward the company.
Benicio Del Toro: “The usual suspects”
He was not yet known but was already showing character the rogue! When he reads the project, he understands that his character is destined to die first. Moreover, his take of words does not particularly influence the course of the story. Then he exhibited in Bryan Singer: “If you permitted me, I think you should let me try something .” Without imagining the trick, the director says yes. And Del Toro will play with an incomprehensible accent , mumbling, no one understanding what he says.
Mike Myers: “Wayne’s World”
It was a poker stroke. And he won. The memorable scene where he and his comrade shake his head on Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, you know? Well the producers wanted to sound of Guns N Roses, recent, coming out at the time . Except that Mike Myers refused, insisted on the sound of Queen and threatened to leave the film. They have yielded, and everybody loves this scene. Winning bet.
Faye Dunaway: “Acting Murder”
Passing for the bastard, no thanks! In the film, she plays Charlene Towne, working in an office where murders and incidents multiply. And she ends up being killed by the serial killer. Later, in the assembly, the director wants to change and make her the killer . She refuses completely, she will not return from the stage. Especially not for that. Finally, it will end as expected and the film will have its success.
Harrison Ford: “The Empire Strikes Back”
The famous scene where Leia tells him “I love you” and his answer, “I know,” comes from him. And unlike the rumors, he did not invent it, improperly. This is something he negotiated before, not at all fond of the original dialogue: “I love you, I could not tell you before it’s true” – “So remember in coach I will be back”. Ford had gone to negotiate directly with Keschner Irvin, who had liked the idea, without talking to Carrie Fisher , who was a little mouth that changes his sentences without touching a word. You would have cleared which without negotiating?
