That, by the way, is why the "It's a parody!" claims you always see here, when an open-source project blatantly infringes on the name of the commercial product it clones, are nonsense.

I wonder if mathew broderick was involved ?

If it's only the superbowl ads you want, check out

Blatant stealing of link from previous poster

My review of the 9 minutes:

Linus seems like a nice enough guy, quiet, proto-typical geek, tends to talk a bit too technical but uses metaphors, comparisons to get his point across...Overall grade: B
Bruce Perens knows what he's talking about, but is either A) Amazed at the shiny flashing light on the top of the camera or B) staring at himself in the reflection of the camera. He needs to sit back, relax, and stop swinging around like a monkey...Overall Grade: C+
Mr Stallman handles himself well enough with an interviewer, but tends to talk over the heads of any non-technical viewer. His anecdote is interesting though, the loss of freedom because of having to use passwords..I wonder if he'd still give the same argument...Overall grade: B-
Eric Raymond scares me...and his obvious loathing for Microsoft is dripping off of every word "I'm your worst nightmare" That's jokes we tell around the office, not in public...Overall grade: C

9 minutes was enough of an anti-MS stance for me...the female voice, reading Bill Gates' letter to the hobby club was embarassingly melodramaticized.

Ifilm has all of them, but in Real format.

The page is here

Is there any place you can download the Super Bowl commercials at? I'm on a 56k and streaming doesn't work very well. The Ifilm Site only allows streaming. Is there a way to download these?

BTW, I can stream them while I'm in school, using the school's phat pipe, but can't hear them and that ruins them.

iFilm has an archive of them.

>> TiVo Watches the Super Bowl... ...and horny geeks watch Britney. :)

And to get the inside scoop on Britney, more specifically, her magically morphing chest, be sure to check out The Mystery of Britney Spears' Breasts! from our friends at Ifilm.com.

Let's see Katz do a review on that!

...who don't get to watch the Superbowl commercials, be sure to check out ifilm.com's Superbowl Page where you can check them out.

I first found out about the since deceased AdCritic by looking for a place to check out the SB commercials, and it looks like these guys have filled that void for me.

For those of you who aren't aware, Canadian cable companies cut out the American commercials and insert our own, unique brand of crap in their place.

At least this year, there was a game worth watching!

Although alot of the various companies also have their ads up on their corporate sites

When I saw that the new mplayer supported quicktime, I sprang into action, downloading and building the new version. I then find out it won't play the one movie I want, american jedi All I get is a black box. Oh well, I'll be waiting for the release that has real quicktime support.

Anyways, the movie is worth a look, even if you have to boot into windows.

Oh, me like-ee!!:
Covert Operatives

If it counts, i'm another happy user of the CrossOver Plugin. What got me to jump on board and fork over cash for the 1.0 release? Easy. truth in advertising.

Last experience like this was a midnight showing of Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. Not a spare seat in the joint, hot, humid and too much background noise. For my $5 (mantinees, y'know :-) and another $7.75 for popcorn and pop (it's part of the experience, but smuggle a can of Pringles and a couple cans of Coke in a winter coat sleeve if you like) I like a smaller crowd. Besides, call me a Troll if you must, I'm actually looking forward to the Harry Potter movie as it looks, unlike Holy Wood productions, done up extremely well.

Possibly it's true that any successful person draws media attacks, but Fischer in particular has publicly espoused beliefs in a "Jewish conspiracy," a position that virtually guarantees hostile media reaction. Read the book Searching for Bobby Fischer by Fred Waitzkin, the inspiration for the fine 1993 movie directed by Stephen Zaillian. In the book Waitzkin, father of chess prodigy Josh Waitzkin, briefly chronicles Fischer's strange behavior following his rise to chess supremacy: living on the streets of Los Angeles, passing out anti-Jewish leaflets to passersby.... Depressing, in a way.

AOL would offend far fewer people if they just had some honest commercials.

It's not embarrassing if you're Radioactive Crotch Man.

The official site of the movie is at www.otnemem.com (nice touch). It has some details which are probably better learned after watching the movie rather than before.

The IMDb message boards for Memento have a lot of discussion (SPOILER alert!!) about the possible plotlines. Reading the posts here after watching the movie the first time was quite enlightening ...

Like http://www.movieflix.com/ or http://www.ifilm.com/. They carry much more and much better films (lots of feature films since the silent era till cca 50's).

I'm going to patent the Y chromosome. Anyone posessing or using any derivative works, such as the penis, will be charged a licensing fee. unfortunately, it appears others in a competing industry have stolen my Penis Technology (tm) and created cheap knock off devices being marketed under the name Dildo, as witnessed in this commercial. If you are using a penis without proper licensing, you will be hearing from my lawyer.

Inktomi sells search, directory, and Having used their services twice (once when I worked on the search engines for snap.com, and again when I wrote the search system for ifilm, I can't help but think that I've seen what google is doing quite a few times before.

They scored a great win when they took over yahoo; plenty of revenue there, and selling access to the search engine for co-branding (via API or whatever) is a great way to rake in cash; but it's not unique!

Inktomi offers news, shopping, and directory (taxonomy) services, but their results stink. We fixed alot of this on the ifilm engine (take a look) but it's nothing like google.

Now if you actually believe the caracters are real and get caught up in the plots then yeah, they're your escape from reality. But that's not the fault of cartoons, animators, writers, producers or Blammo (Log!)

As for myself, I watch them because the better ones relect some thought, are satirical or parody things. I like Ren and Stimpy and was just watching some old taped episodes on Saturday. (The tards in my area don't air one of many action packed college football games. Favoring some half hour info-mercial with a bunch of models, a slick sales weasel and some product guarranteed not to actually have any significant impact on your life other than liberating a few Jacksons from your wallet.)

I particularly like the Commander Hoek and Cadet Stimpy episodes, which lampoon old space serials.

If you like animation, check out Spike and Mike and hope they come to your area.

Wasn't you, was them dutch guys, y'know, the two guys in Rotterdam, to whom Bill Clinton outsourced the entire NSA? Yeah, Rob was fiddling with a new game SimCarnivore, which looked innocent enough, and it faked an AIM note that there was a new submission 'Microsoft Merges with Island of Guam, World Stunned', y'know? So anyway, like he gets this fake Mozilla popping up and he logs in and it emails his password back to these guys, just before Rob gets Segfault (core dumped) to cover the tracks. Good thing we have a budget surplus, maybe we can buy back the NSA© from those guys and outsource to someone less mischevious, such as these guys

Here's the associated video. The video was created by a couple game designers, so it's bonus geeky.

And, Earthling is right, you have to listen, or see, this.

try this link then choose real media from the format menu.

should work fine in linux if you have the real player. If you haven't seen this thing yet, do it. it's ROFL funny.

1995: Microsoft - "Resistance is futile"

There are also affects that don't work well on anything other than a large screen that engulfs your feild of vision, take the lobby scene in The Matrix with all the peices of marble flying off the pillars, everyone I have spoken to about that thought it had an oddly beautiful fractal like quality, which doesn't come out when watching on a small screen. Of course if we all had HMDs that reproduced that level of immersion then it would work, but I'm still waiting for one with a descent resolution. OTOH some of these films are very low budget and would never make it to the theatre and some are quite good check this Matrix spoof called Computer Boy -

iFilm and AMC Theaters are going to be showing some films on AMC theater screens to allow them to qualify for the awards.

A quick look at both the AMC's site and iFilm show neither have posted anything yet. Since iFilm does have the original news item I'd expect to see something from them soon.

Nope-
Angry Kid is directed by Darren Walsh- I guess Aardman is expanded.
And for those that still prefer the resolution of film, it is playing in the 'Spike and Mike classic festival of animation' on the West Coast. In California and BC,Canada through the middle of May.
They have schedule information at www.spikeandmike.com

I do not at all agree. With dsl I use streaming all the time. I watch a "channel" on realplayer that includes video (Groovetech), love it. I went over to ifilm the other day and watched some great movies.

Streaming offers the "little people" in the world to broadcast their work very easily. They don't need a production company, and ad company, and pay for space on a retailers shelf.

Streaming audio is much like html. Its given the average user the chance to publish their work. Now as they once said, it needs to be ubitiqous, and a standard is what can make that a possibility.
