Vaguely tries to discuss a vision of socialism that seems almost utopian
(and probably impossible), as well as ethical questions of what "right" and
"wrong" are, but these discussions are empty and go nowhere. The best
lesson the movie provides is "stay on the marked path."
Makes a cursory attempt to have a diverse cast, and Jen turns out to be
quite brave and resourceful (although she eventually turns to violence).
But otherwise most characters are pretty shallow, with little worth
admiring.
Extreme gory violence. Character smashes someone in the face with a thick
branch; face smashed open, brains visible. Runaway log rolls down hill,
crushes character; smashed, bloody face, protruding jaw shown. Character
falls into pit, lands on sharpened stakes (lots of blood and agony).
Character's head bashed in. Character's eyes poked out with hot poker.
Woman stabs a man again and again, with blood spatter. Character stabbed in
chest by flying trap. Characters shot by bow and arrow. Characters shot
with gun (hole in head shown). Person's head smacked against a rock.
Maggot-strewn corpse. Several characters sliced and killed with a knife.
Broken finger (pointing at an awful angle). Character crushed by falling
trap. Character holding a knife to a child's throat. Character dragged into
trap by chain. Several people beat up another (he later spits blood, has a
bloody face). Dead deer strapped to truck. Sudden tire blowout. Punching in
head. Scary cave full of people who have been blinded. Molotov cocktail.
A couple kisses passionately in bed while clothed, one straddling the
other. Naked man's bottom shown while showering. Woman in skimpy underwear.
A woman volunteers herself to be a "childbearer" for the Foundation members
(another woman responds with "spread your legs!"). A creepy man says "I can
smell your juices."
Parents need to know that Wrong Turn (also known as Wrong Turn: The
Foundation) is a horror/slasher movie about six 20-somethings who are
terrorized in the Appalachian woods; it's a remake of the same-named 2003
movie. It's marginally better than the original, but that's all relative:
It's still pretty dumb and annoying. Expect intense, graphic violence, with
lots of blood and gore. Characters are killed in grisly ways, via traps,
shot by arrows or guns, sliced up with knives, or beaten. Even the "heroes"
kill others in brutal ways. Language is also extremely strong, with near
constant use of "f--k" or "f--king," plus "s--t" and more. Two characters
kiss passionately in bed while clothed, with one straddling the other. A
man's naked bottom is briefly seen, and a woman is shown in skimpy
underwear. A woman volunteers to be a childbearer for a cult-like group;
she becomes pregnant, and there are creepy lines like "I can smell your
juices." A scene set in a bar includes social drinking (shots and beer) and
some smoking. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up

In WRONG TURN, Scott (Matthew Modine) hasn't heard from his daughter, Jen
(Charlotte Vega), in several weeks, so he goes looking for her. Weeks
earlier, she, her boyfriend, Darius (Adain Bradley), and four other friends
decided to hike the Appalachian Trail. Darius, a history buff, talks the
others into leaving the marked trail to find the secrets of the woods, even
though they were warned not to. Before long, strange things start
happening. One of the group dies, crushed by a runaway rolling log. Then
others begin disappearing or falling into well-hidden traps. Then they
encounter mysterious people wearing animal skulls. What will Scott discover
when he finally finds his daughter?
This remake of the 2003 horror/slasher movie (and the seventh entry in the
franchise), is filled with annoying characters and dumb situations and
can't make a reasonable case for its own existence. Wrong Turn is one of
those movies in which the characters spend lots of time shouting one
another's names ("Jen!" "Darius!" "Milla!" "Adam!" "Gary!" "Luis!") rather
than developing any personalities. And what little character development
there is, is ridiculous. The movie tries to earn points for having a
diverse group (two women, one Black man, one Latinx man, and one Indian
man, with the latter two a couple), but their shallowness undercuts that
attempt.
Darius dreams of a cult-like collective in which "everyone works and
everyone shares" (and, coincidentally, he finds it!). Jen somehow believes
that there's only right and wrong, and shades of gray don't exist. And Adam
is a serious jerk; he does the most shouting. Then there are questions
like: Who carried the tent that was big enough to fit five people, if all
they have are tiny backpacks? And why do all of the characters' facial cuts
and scrapes look pretty much the same? At least the villains in Wrong Turn
-- led by the charismatic Venable (Bill Sage) -- are more interesting than
the heroes.
Families can talk about Wrong Turn's violence. How did it affect you? Could
the story have been told effectively with less violence? How does it
compare to other violence you've seen in movies or on television?
Newbie here.
My dearest tech gal friend Karen (BFF too genetic) who used to help me
through these dilemmas passed during Covid but I do try to carry on as she
taught me. Learning and searching and stretching my boundaries.
Little over a week ago my 3 year old HP Envy hit be with that dreaded blue
screen of death. I fought (muddled) my way into DOS (scary territory for
this old gal I tell you!) but totally reinstalled windows 11, and as I
don't store anything much on the hard drive the possibility of loss was
slight.
I had fabulous success (Thank you my lost friend) and got up and running
reloaded all apps etc.
But I am stuck with one single glitch, try as I might I can't figure out
what I'm doing wrong
I save my screenshots to my DB and into a folder simply named screenshots .
. have done this since friend Karen introduced me to the program some 10
years ago . . .
Now all my screenshots are still going into the DB but they won't go into
the folder / file but are loose at the bottom of the screen
I know it's probably something ridiculously simple but to this basic
appliance operator I'm rather tired of fighting this on my own so humbly
come looking for help
Thank you ahead of time
So it has been close to a week since I asked my question and well over two
weeks trying to solve this issue including on my own, all to no avail.
Then
Yesterday My lappy says it need to shut down and reboot to correct an issue.
I'm thinking oh lordy it's going into it's death throes!
I agree to restart and it turns off and I go do chores and some of the
dozens of things I needed to be doing . . .
It's probably an hour when I come back and attempt to log in.
Everything goes perfectly smoothly . . Out of curiosity I take a screen
shot. Surprise of surprise! Screenshot is exactly where it is supposed to
be! Not sure how it got all corrected but I'm very happy to be back up to
my version of normal!
Thank you folks for input and help!

Thanks for responding
That was one of my quandaries. My app did not show this option
It did/does for capture but not for screenshots
I messaged directly to dropbox about my app and they gave me another link
to another way to download the app - probably the correct app for my Hp
laptop.
Now I can't get the old one to uninstall "uninstall fails"
I'm going to attempt to download the recommended version and see if that
will let me uninstall the one I have or both then once again download the
proper version -
I hope
Then I figure I will be at square one to find the proper solution to my
initial issue
Thank you again I think this is a great lead!
OK I'm back to square one
I found also that my preferences were not behind a gear or tools but behind
my profile pic.
Checked out preferences and if I didn't have it before, yes I now have the
screenshots checked
Since uninstalling and reinstalling my recent screenshots are going back to
Drive C videos / captures
