john wick was such a loving surprise of an amazing movie. i was expecting boring action movie with terrible plot. and it just was so good. i'm really glad they're making a 2nd one.

it was a very solid action movie with great music and violence

the nightclub scene sticks out to me in particular

It's probably oversold a bit by this point but it's really solid with great action scenes that are never too cheesy

One of my favorite parts is when he walks into the church with an assault rifle and immediately murders someone. I tipped my fedora

The beginning of John Wick was a huge surprise for me. I knew there was going to be some cool combat going on, but the first 15 minutes was an emotional roller coaster.

same, although when the part about coordinates in the sand being binary i had to figure out how many bits you'd actually need to store coordinates to an accuracy of 10m and it came out around 90 bits(this number i could be misremembering), i only saw like 12 on the ground. of course i think i also included bits used to differentiate N,S,E,W and that added a few. 16 bits needed each for lat/long if we're only using straight integers to represent the data because someone with the knowledge would know where to add the decimal anyways so you don't have to deal with floating point numbers. so at least 32 bits + whatever is needed to show N,S,E,W, and that would give you an accuracy down to ~110m which would be usable for finding a building like that. you might be able to get away with using 28 bits for lat/lon if you make an assumption of the user being able to navigate terrain and look for stuff out of the ordinary, you'd have an accuracy to ~1km which is manageable for a trained individual. even cutting out the N,S,E,W marks still makes a required 28 bits at least to be able to locate a facility if the receiver is capable and makes assumptions that the numbers would be based on their current location and not on the other side of the world

still good movie though

You can get ~13m precision with 43 bits using a scaled BNR value (180°/221).

Keanu Reeves is our greatest living actor. I wanted to see the movie in theaters immediately after seeing the trailer but then I forgot about it and it was gone after like a 2 month run.
