    Sure, it cost a lot, but it was worth every penny. Just check out the picture.

  3. Which King Kong? by serutan · · Score: 0 · on Peter Jackson Hints At The Hobbit

    Is Jackson doing a remake of the original King Kong, or a remake of the remake of King Kong?

    It's ok to use good ideas from others, sure, but if you put them together in a hodgepodge of ideas from others you can lose most of the benefit. The beauty of Apple's designs tends to come from their system-wide consistency and cohesion.

    Adding parts from everywhere makes your interface look like that car Homer designed.

    No, not an April Fool's joke. Peter Jackson's desire to re-make King Kong goes way back. In fact, he had the go ahead in 1997 to make it, even completing a script. When the project was cancelled by Universal, Peter found another project to keep himself busy (hint: it was a trilogy).

  6. It's (kind of) an old project by sph · · Score: 1 · on Peter Jackson remaking King Kong

    Peter Jackson was already working on a King Kong remake back in 1996-1997 before The Lord of the Rings trilogy became reality. One story about it is here. The first script draft from 1996 is also available in the net on several sites, for example at TheOneRing.net.

  10. Re:Does anyone know by Negadecimal · · Score: 3, Funny · on Stealth Asteroid Misses Earth

    What would happen if an asteroid of a given size hit the moon?

    If it had the same mass as the moon and collided on a tangent to the moon's orbit, it would replace the moon in our sky. Our "old" moon would go flying off into space.

    That would be cool. Kind of like one of those executive toys. Of course, I'm assuming an unlikely inelastic reaction...
