incrementing the number of villains/allies is standard in making a blockbuster sequel ...

Batman (1989) : 1 villains
Batman 2 (1992) : 2 villains
Batman 3 (1995) : 2 villains plus 1 sidekick!
Batman 4 (1997) : 2 villains plus 2 sidekicks!

What is really sad is that you are absolutely correct.
 
Wait, I just swallowed my tongue... Ashton Kutcher is in the new Evil Dead movie? Say it isn't so Sam. Didn't you see the "Butterfly Effect" crapfest? Is someone from That 70's Show stroking your knob? Next you'll be telling us that Campbell won't even be making a cameo in either picture.

Venom Is supposed to weigh 260 pounds there's no way in hell Topher can fit that role.

A Picture of Venom compared to a Picture of Topher

Not sure why they wouldn't have used Eddie from the first movie: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0263472/ He looks more the part.

Oh well.. I still have faith in Raimi- for now. I'd be lying if I said trying to fit Venom in before doing a movie with Spidey in the alien suit doesn't make me worried.

No, The Avengers is the worst movie ever made. (but your point is still valid.)

Erm, have you ever seen DareDevil? Daredevil and Spider-man exist in the same universe (AFAIK) and in DD Kinpin was played by Michael Clarke Duncan. I thought he did a pretty good job of it too. Colin Farrell on the other hand, still had the usual irish accent (Alexander anyone?) and the wide-eyed-vibrating-eyebrows look he uses for shock/surprise/anger/sadness/sorrow/everything.

I don't think its possible to do a good dub,

It's certainly possible, as can be heard in Disney's Ghilbi dubs. Although weak points can be found in Mononoke Hime, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Porco Rosso, they are all basically decent (and, I can't recall any shortcomings in Spirited Away).

There are a few chronic obstacles that prevent typical anime companies from doing similarly good jobs.
(a) Cheapness. Typical anime are dubbed in just a few takes. Keeping the actors and director together long enough to do proper emotions would require much more time, meaning must bigger paychecks. The importer gets enough sales already, so they have no incentive for more investment.

(b) Bad actors. This is subjective, but for a bit of objectivity, consider that English anime actors are basically in their own job category, separate from those who do voices for native English animations (including video games). For example, look at anime dubber Mary McGlynn, as opposed to voice actors for native projects, like Scott Menville or Phil LaMarr (wow, he's also a real actor!). There isn't much crossover. If anime dub voices were any good, they'd also get jobs for domestic projects- but they essentially don't.

(c) Wrong editing priorities. The editors and directors who handle the dubbing care too much about matching the soundtrack to facial movements, and not enough on the attitude and emotion expressed by the speech itself. This links back to the brief studio sessions: once they've got a line reading that's basically OK, the actors go home, and then the editor goes about digitally squeezing it into place on the soundtrack. To match speech to lip-flaps, Software is used to change the speed of individual words while holding pitch constant. Anime importers claim that the modern software is so good that no distortion remains, but that's not quite true. Although a listener can't generally describe the nature of the problem, it's easy enough to distinquish the "before" and "after" line readings in a blindfolded test.

Even the squeakiest voice in American voice acting can't compete with 95% of the original Japanese female cast.

If the information is already in a database it can save them money from collecting dna from those seeking medical coverage.

I don't see how. The government is not exactly known for being the most efficient at these things.

Which is more inefficient, "reusing" data or duplicating efforts?

But even if it is cheaper for the insurance companies to do it this way, isn't that a good thing, because it means lower rates for everyone?

No it's only good for those who have a "perfect" makeup. One reason for dna testing by insurance companies is to identify those who present greater risks to profits, for instance someone who'd identified as having a greater chance of having cancer X, that person can then either be made to pay more for coverage, can be denied coverage, or shades in between. I don't mind if the person will need to pay more but only if they can afford to pay. Uninsured people raise the prices for everyone. The only other way out is with "Soylent Green".

But no outcry if the government gets everyone's DNA, sells it to the insurance companies, and the insurance companies start dropping people?

But there will be an outcry from some quarters, sectors of society, the ACLU for instance is already questioning if putting the dna of those that haven't been convicted of any crime into a government databse would be unconstitutional. As Jim Harper a specialist of privacy issues at CATO says, "it's a classic mission-creep situation".

This is what Timothy Lynch said, on 21 August 2000 in "The USA Today":

"The federal government is constantly trying to expand its purview over every aspect of American life. And wherever the feds go -- whether it be health care or education -- they inevitably demand information about people. Sooner than you think, the feds will want your DNA to be stored in an FBI database."

Congress unleashed a runaway train in 1994 when it established a program called Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). The CODIS program offered state officials federal funds if they assisted the FBI with DNA-sample collection. By 1998, all 50 states had passed laws requiring local police departments to collect DNA samples. At first, the demand for DNA collection seemed innocuous and uncontroversial. Only convicted sex offenders would be required to give DNA samples. Such a database would enable the authorities to track down serial rapists. Who could oppose that?

Once the DNA database was established, however, the police quickly realized that they could increase their chances of catching criminals by expanding it. We've been sliding down the slippery slope ever since.

The second stage was to get a sample from all convicted felons, not just sex offenders. In New York, Gov. George Pataki is pushing to require anyone convicted of a misdemeanor to submit to DNA profiling. The former police commissioner of New York City, Howard Safir, goes even further. He says that any person arrested should be included in the database. According to Safir, "The only ones who have anything to worry about from DNA testing are criminals." Then why stop with arrestees? Why not obtain samples from every single American?

There is, of course, cause for concern. Federal officials have abused their powers in the past, such as by throwing Japanese-Americans into detention camps, by conducting barbaric experiments on black men in Tuskegee, Ala., and by deliberately exposing GIs to atomic blasts, to name just a few.

If we believe that tomorrow's political leaders will somehow be incapable of abusing their power over a fully centralized DNA database, the next generation will never forgive us -- and rightly so.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001422/

i saw a preview for that movie this weekend.

wtf.

Vampire Hunter D may partially fit.

The Day of the Dolphin.

Can't believe no one else on slashdot knew this.

It's Red (Morgan Freeman) from The Shawshank Redemption

actually, 6 years a shark scenario of this stuff came out already from hollywood

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149261/

and i'm not really sure if sharks are more dangerous than dolphins that are powered with poison darts ... cause the latter is quite intelligent ...

My god, what a kook this Sheridan guy is...

Marine biologists were baffled but Leo Sheridan proposed the only explanation that has not yet been dismissed. "I am convinced that these were dolphins trained by the US Navy and that something went badly wrong,

I am convinced it was done by aliens hiding on the Canary islands... can't dismiss that either. See, it's easy to say something is the result of some secret project: Since all the evidence you would need to prove your case is secret, of course you can't provide any evidence.

In fact it was 1989 when the U.S. Navy began its classified Cetacean Intelligence Mission.

Well, if you trot over to the program's official web page, you can see they have been training toothed whales since 1962. And once again, how does he know the specifics of something supposedly top secret (but with an official web page, of course)? Maybe it began in 1987, and it's even more advanced!

Speculation is fun, but when you do it too much and for too long you simply start seeing patterns that aren't really there. You start believing anything that fits your pattern, even when far simpler explanations fit equally well. Occam's Razor goes out the window. I wonder what Sheridan thinks of the movie A Beautiful Mind.

Reminds me of "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058230/)

Really though, this could be interesting...

There have been stories about the marine mammal program before, and regular fights with animal rights groups. It is no longer classified though, so anyone can go find out plenty of information at the project's official website. You can also check out their FAQ. It pretty clearly states that dolphins and sea lions are only used for marking and tagging, and that they are not used offensively since they can't really distinguish friendly forces and foes. It seems some people still refuse to give up on speculation however.

Anyway, I seriously doubt that dolphins are being used with poison darts, since the Navy seems to prefer using sea lions now (They don't need storage pools, work better in tight areas like harbors and piers, and tolerate more varying temperatures). And even if there *were* poison dart weilding dolphins, why on earth would they be left armed while at a training facility during a storm?

A: Not everyone on Slashdot is the same person. Really.

B: There are noninfringing reasons to trade copyrighted works, and there are illegal but valid reasons to trade copyrighted works. For example, there was a movie recently that many, many people recommended that I see, but had been unavailable through traditional retail channels for many years. So I just downloaded it from a P2P network. I've discovered a lot of German Trance and other musical acts through P2P networks that I can't even buy over traditional retail channels, even importers. I've found many, many acts that I would not otherwise have been exposed to, from Argentine Tango ripped from Vinyl to obscure local acts. I've just got a Russian version of Hamlet that you would never find in Suncoast, and culturally significant games from the mid 80's that are completely unavailable even on Ebay. I've downloaded television shows from foreign countries as well as ones that my local cable monopoly simply decided weren't worth carrying.

I think the reason why P2P networks are so revered is that they're our only counterweight in the encroachment against our rights. The content industries control Television, Movies, Radio, most local concert venues, the Congress, and are getting protection schemes into television and playback hardware. They've been convicted of monopoly price fixing, yet didn't change a single practice. They lie about profits to avoid paying their artists. They've slipped stupid things into laws that make it illegal for people to describe Rot-13. They've ensured that copyright never expires, that nothing ever returns to the public domain. They own the culture that is imprinted in your brain.

What do we have as citizens? Civil disobedience via P2P. Want to find good new music? You could to go the Clear-Channel owned radio stations who use technically illegal payola from the major record labels to decide what gets played... or you can go on P2P networks, download a whole bunch of stuff, and see what you like. Want to listen to your music on-the-go? You could buy a CD, only to find that you can't convert it to MP3's to listen on your iPod, or you could just go online and download the fscking MP3's. Want to use a snipped from The Song of the South or from Der Fuhrer's Face in a lecture on popular responses to cultural crisis? Since Disney is pretending that neither of these historical films exist, your only recourse is to go on P2P and get it yourself.

I'm saying this as a person in the content generation industry... I help make videogames for major publishers. And piracy of games I've worked on has happened on P2P networks. Yet I still feel that the open nature is an important counterbalance to traditional distribution networks which have become dominated by a few small, self-serving companies. Culture remaining in control of the people is far more important than a slight sales loss to a highly profitable convicted monopolist.

And this is better than dolphins with mines strapped to their heads?

In an early-morning press conference, reclusive GNAA president timecop declared that the Gay Nigger Association of America will contribute to hurricane Katrina disaster relief efforts. He issued a statement describing the efforts being undertaken to rush relief to New Orleans' former residents, many of whom are black, gay, or both. "My heart tears at the sight of so many flooded niggers", timecop said.

The GNAA is contributing a currently-unknown quantity of sperm, intended to prevent starvation and malnutrition. The sperm is to be delivered this Monday to shelters across the nation. "We are having a non-stop wankathon. I believe we can do this, I believe in my niggas. We will not fail to feed NOLA's hungry refugees." Many have reporters present at the conference questioned the nutritional value of the semen being collected, eliciting angry stares and lip-licking from their host. timecop did not directly answer the questions, saying "Who the hell are you? I don't see you vigorously beating off to save the niggers!"

The next item on the list was free wireless internet spanning the Southern Louisiana region, allowing access to GNAA's Lastmeasure online service. Lastmeasure is provided free of charge. It is widely touted as "better than FEMA" in the charitable relief field. Lastmeasure surpasses FEMA's disaster aid service by being accessible to any graphical browser on any operating system. Lastmeasure will be the only website available, as all other http requests will be redirected. This measure is intended to minimize use of GNAA.net wireless for other than disaster-relief LM. The conference ended with an emotional outburst from GNAA president timecop, crying out, "so many dead, rotting black shits".

Pentagon documents leaked to covert GNAA agents working for the CIA provided proof that a deliberate plot against renowned shock jock l0de was put into effect to eliminate him. The recent sacking of CIA director Tenant, who was used as a scapegoat, to cover up the great lie perpetrated by the pentagon, against the American people to justify the war against Iraq, prompted disgruntled CIA agents to leak the document.

It was revealed that technology that was developed and refined from the research of alien artifacts from Area 51 was used to create Hurricane Katrina. Similar technology was used against Turkey and Iran when they displeased the Pentagon. Earthquakes were the preferred Weapon of Mass Destruction against those Sovereign states. Hurricane Katrina was then directed towards New Orleans in an attempt to assassinate l0de. The attempt failed.

Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld was believed to be infuriated at this failed attempt as he has been a target of LRH in the past. He ordered that all aid and military convoys be delayed for as long as possible so that Delta Strike Teams could be dispatched to New Orleans. Five Delta Force assassination squads were disguised as "Cracked up Gangsta Niggahs" and sent in to finish the job.

The Pentagon underestimated the loyalty of the Negro Population in New Orleans. The once divided crack selling factions banded together in defense of l0de and decimated the Delta Force assassination squads. Pentagon moles informed l0de via Jap sponsored satellite phones that President Bush, on orders from his mother, Barbara Bush, instructed FEMA to delay relief aid to punish the Negro Population for their defense of l0de.

l0de, dying of AIDS anyway, promptly committed suicide in a bid to save the remaining traumatized population. His death, thankfully, signifies the death of LRH, they both will be missed.

About Area 51

Area 51 is a NOT SO Top Secret American Military Installation. Operation Karate Rain Urchin, which was created to assassinate l0de, was hatched and conceived here using weather manipulation technology which was retrieved from the Roswell crash site in 1947. Incidentally, Karate Rain Urchin is an anagram for Hurricane Katrina, coincidence?
The GNAA does not think so.

Nobody remembers this now, but Harvard University was founded by a bunch of evil white puritan dudes so that their evil white puritan spawn could be taught to read the New Testament in its original Greek, without all the overhead of the {Greek -> Latin} and {Latin -> English} interventions.

As an aside, the word in question here is porneia, and there's a great deal of controversy about what it might have meant to the first century ear. One theory is that porneia meant "abomination", so that a man and a woman were not to divorce unless they came to discover that their marriage was an abomination - for instance, if they were to learn, after marrying, that they were in fact half-brother and half-sister. Cf Pierre Jourde's Lost Land, or - SPOILER ALERT - John Sayles's Lone Star, or, of course, Sophocles's Oedipus Rex.

Finally, while we're on the subject of Harvard, you might be interested in her motto, Veritas, or "Truth":

The first sentence of the article:
The Seattle Monorail Project board has just approved a Nov. 8 ballot measure to shorten the proposed line, and run it from the Alaska Junction in West Seattle to West Dravus Street in Interbay.

Another day another story posted with a summary that can only be described as completely wrong.

Reading the summary did make me laugh though, when I left Seattle for a real city (SF) back in 2001, the Monorail project had already been started up and construction had commenced. So if they pull out now, they could very well end up having a several hundred million dollar infrastructure sitting there to rot -- and rotting quite promenently as they situated it through very busy streets.

But it might be possible that by shortening the scope of work, the contractors would pull out. And then the Monorail project could very well be as good as dead.

Personally, while I thought the monorail project was cool, I never really understood why the hell they needed it. They already have a top-notch bus system and the idea of extending the 1962 Worlds Fair Monorail into a city wide service seems rather superflous.

I thought they killed this idea back in Singles. Damn you Cameron Crowe!

They also used Alec Berg who was one of the writers, as a character within the show.

and this movie would probably be the next step.
