Should be... again.
As in " Hasbro and Warner Bros. have announced Dungeons & Dragons will be getting its own film franchise."
... again.Or are we pretending now that they they didn't already drop a bunch of D&D turds?
In 2000 (saw it, amusing for what it was, but it was awful)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt01...IMDB lso lists this, which I haven't seen
2005 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt04... ("straight to video")
2012 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt17... ("TV movie")And which seem to have "2" and "3" in the subtitles... suggesting they were sequels? I haven't seen them, and based on the 1st one... I'm not sure if anyone should.

Re:Mickey Mouse copyirght extenstions...
Steamboat Willie being a parody of Steamboat Bill, Jr..
So let's keep extending copyright for a movie based on another movie, but NOT the original movie. -

Re:Fantastic!
Oh man, I've been waiting for someone to figure out how to do this. Feels like the last critical piece of VR... "reality capture".
Imagine... - Experiencing a live feed of a skydiver/basejumper/surfer/other extreme sport, where you can look around naturally in 3D - A probe in space or on another planet - An immersive control system for robots - On and on. You can now tap into and share someone else's experience viscerally, either realtime or recorded.
This is basically Strange Days.
I'm less than impressed by 360 videos so far. I'll admit that I have seen only 2: bjork's stonemilker music video and Aram Pan's North Korea YPT tour video.
The North Korea video I appreciate more, because you can look all around a location that most people will never visit. However, with both videos, I feel like I am playing "where's Waldo" with the content. Having 360 degree videos is fine, but I feel like a "director's mode" on/off toggle seems to be needed for people who don't want to feel like they are missing something interesting. I don't have time to explore every last location in a video game, and similarly I don't have time to rewatch 360 degree videos just to check every angle for easter eggs. -

Quote from "Noise"
Officer Moretti: What did he do?
Arresting Officer: Busted into a car who's alarm was going off. Who's gonna take him down to central booking?
Officer Moretti: He busted into a car cuz the alarm was going off? Jesus Christ, what if everybody did that?
Arresting Officer: If everyone did it, people would turn off their damned alarms, now wouldn't they?Yes, it may be illegal to shoot down drones. Yes, it is vigilantism. What if everybody did that? Then people would stop flying drones over other people's heads, wouldn't they?

Re:Personally
There was this movie that among other things was about unintended consequences that can happen if you have conflicting policies / instructions.
And my job has a policy against going to imdb.com from work
So what's the name of the movie then please? -
Re:Personally
You ask why users break policies. I guess there can be many reasons but for me anytime a policy gets in the way of accomplishing a task, it gets broken.
Another way of saying this is polices are likely to be broken when policies conflict. While not using your smart phone may be a policy, getting your job done is also a policy. In this case people will generally choose to break the policy with the least personal risk. If I am more likely to be fired (or not paid my bonus) if I don't get my job done than if I use my cell phone, I am going to choose getting my job done and use the phone anyway.
If am using my phone against policy, I may also do things that are detrimental to the business while I am trying to hide my phone usage. At a minimum I am wasting time and brain cycles thinking about how to deal with the policy conflict.
There was this movie that among other things was about unintended consequences that can happen if you have conflicting policies / instructions. "Open the pod bay doors, HAL". -

Re:The next great copyright scam
Jurassic world cost an estimated 150 mil http://www.imdb.com/title/tt03...
What an insane level of inefficiency. That's about $15K per second of video. You know, colored dots. I've seen a lot more entertaining colored dots for a lot less money.
People love making things too much, and they love doing it even if they aren't the exclusive owner
People might still love making things, but you are going to have a much harder time getting people to pony up 150 mil
Or may be creators will be forced to be more efficient. Create equally entertaining programs that don't waste such an insane amount of money. In other words the free market in action.
As it is now copyright badly breaks the free market, destroying huge amounts of value to create mediocre ephemera. Not to mention creating a huge underclass of creators who cannot succeed financially because resources have been redirected elsewhere to a favored few.

do a commercial, you're off the artistic roll call
"The United States has it's own propaganda, but it's very effective because people don't realize that it's propaganda. And it's subtle, but it's actually a much stronger propaganda machine than the Nazis had but it's funded in a different way. With the Nazis it was funded by the government, but in the United States, it's funded by corporations and corporations they only want things to happen that will make people want to buy stuff. So whatever that is, then that is considered okay and good, but that doesn't necessarily mean it really serves people's thinking - it can stupify and make not very good things happen."
- Crispin Glover: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm000...#

Memorable quotes for
Looker (1981)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00...#
"John Reston: Television can control public opinion more effectively than armies of secret police, because television is entirely voluntary. The American government forces our children to attend school, but nobody forces them to watch T.V. Americans of all ages *submit* to television. Television is the American ideal. Persuasion without coercion. Nobody makes us watch. Who could have predicted that a *free* people would voluntarily spend one fifth of their lives sitting in front of a *box* with pictures? Fifteen years sitting in prison is punishment. But 15 years sitting in front of a television set is entertainment. And the average American now spends more than one and a half years of his life just watching television commercials. Fifty minutes, every day of his life, watching commercials. Now, that's power."

"It's only logical to assume that conspiracies are everywhere, because that's what people do. They conspire. If you can't get the message, get the man." - Mel Gibson (from an interview)

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - William Casey, CIA Director
#
"The real reason for the official secrecy, in most instances, is not to keep the opposition (the CIA's euphemistic term for the enemy) from knowing what is going on; the enemy usually does know. The basic reason for governmental secrecy is to keep you, the American public, from knowing - for you, too, are considered the opposition, or enemy - so that you cannot interfere. When the public does not know what the government or the CIA is doing, it cannot voice its approval or disapproval of their actions. In fact, they can even lie to your about what they are doing or have done, and you will not know it. As for the second advantage, despite frequent suggestion that the CIA is a rogue elephant, the truth is that the agency functions at the direction of and in response to the office of the president. All of its major clandestine operations are carried out with the direct approval of or on direct orders from the White House. The CIA is a secret tool of the president - every president. And every president since Truman has lied to the American people in order to protect the agency. When lies have failed, it has been the duty of the CIA to take the blame for the president, thus protecting him. This is known in the business as "plausible denial." The CIA, functioning as a secret instrument of the U.S. government and the presidency, has long misused and abused history and continues to do so."

Demon seed - most accurate
The movie "Demon Seed" was the most accurate AI movie ever.
In case you've not seen it, basically the AI (Proteus) asks the inventor (Dr Harris) for access to the outside world. Harris denies Proteus's request, but Proteus gets an outside connection anyway.
Proteus gets into Harris's home computer and workshop, takes over, builds a robot that rapes and impregnates Dr Harris's wife. -
The Day After Trinity (1981)
I'd also recommend The Day After Trinity for a touching portrait of the project's human side.
>Scientists and witnesses involved in the creation and testing of the first ever atomic bomb reflect on the Manhattan project and its fascinating leader, J. Robert Oppenheimer, who upon completion of his wonderful and horrible invention became a powerful spokesperson against the nuclear arms race.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00..."You may well ask: Why people with a kind heart and humanist feelings... why they would go and work on weapons of mass destruction."

1983 movie Brainstorm similar theme
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00...
It was about full brain recording and playback, kind of a super VR that Mark Zuckerberg talked about this week. (plot of many scifi stories)
In the movie someone dies during a recording session. Then it becomes a tug of war for the recording between police who are investigating a suspicious death and scientists who want to see if there is life after death.
Plus there is an ironic twist that the lead actress dies of a drowning "accident" during the filming. But some people dont believe it was accident and the debate resurfaces periodically. The lead actress is Natalie Wood, who played the little girl in Miracle on 34th Street and Maria in West Side Story. -

Re:AMD used to kick ass
And what really disheartens me is that even in that time, Intel made more sales and money.
Why?
AMDs offerings where more powerful, I believe they were even less expensive, and yet Intel not only pulled through but actually was comparatively well off.
I remember people still buying intel stuff at that time.... simply because it was Intel stuff.
Gosh, I hate stupidly blind brand loyalty.And poor old AMD pioneering new tech just for people to go: hm, neat, I'll wait until Intel offers that too.
It's really depressing that even in the Tech-Industry, where it's really supposed to be about merit, the winning factors is horrible, despicable shit like marketing and advertising.
Honestly, should I be the person a certain Klaatu runs into, I'd just go "eh, hang them all. Proceed as planned, Klaatu"
