Sorry, way off topic here...

I think Ted Lavine should be more well known as Captain Leland Stottlemeyer on Monk.

I want to see how to mod a REAL mechanical typewriter. With open CRT. as in Brazil(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088846/)

Anyone else thinking of Brazil and the computers they used?

In a bold move to bridge cultural divides and to promote racial and sexual tolerance, GNAA president timecop, NAACP president Kweisi Mfumeq and the distributors and broadcasters of popular Naruto anime series embarked on an ambitious project to achieve these noble objectives.

The vehicle selected was the anime series Naruto. In collusion with the distributors on this series, it was agreed to not broadcast episode 146 for the week of August 1st to August 7th, 2005.

timecop proposed and executed the plan to provide an alternative viewing experience, which was aimed at reaching out to the targeted population, and bringing about the achievement of the goals of this project.

Spokesman for Nielsen Media Research Company, Armands Leimanis, estimated that 77439 people downloaded the torrent, which actually was the movie Gay Niggers from Outer Space masterfully disguised as Naruto 146. "Never in the history of mass media marketing has something been so successfully marketed on such a large scale in such a short period of time. timecop has succeeded in accomplishing what marketing gurus around the globe have been trying to do for decades. This is truly genius in motion."

timecop was unavailable for comment as he was on an expedition to photograph spiders.

Dattebayo, in a fit of rage at being excluded from this glorious endeavor, flipped out and made the channel #db on rizon.net +i (invite only) and +k (key). This led to the mass suicide of an estimated 16% of the Naruto viewing population. This is believed to be the single most damaging factor in limiting the distribution of GNFOS to the magical 100,000 leeches. NCAAP president Kweisi Mfumeq condemned Dattebayo's actions and compared them to the KKK and gay bashing organizations.

About Dattebayo and #db on Rizon:

#db is a neo-fascist translating group who foists its misguided translations of Naruto on the unsuspecting and naïve fans of this anime series, in an attempt to promote their own nefarious agendas.

"The Universe. Its mighty power. Its evolutionary force, not to be stopped by anyone. In its beauty, this, this is a happy place to stay, filled with harmony and cosmic joy. A free place, where men can express themselves, and be as when they were born. All of this is, because someone cares. Because someone looks after us. When we sleep, when we play. When we act natural. This is a movie about those who risk life, and partners, to guarantee living in a wonderful and free universe. This is a movie about the Gayniggers From Outer Space. The Gayniggers come from the planet Anus, in the 8th Sun System, far far away from here. They are much, much more intelligent than any other creature in the Universe. The most fascinating thing about them is that they, with the help of their super intelligence, and their highly developed telepathic system, Braintapping, will be able to create a world, a society, a perfect world to live in without the presence of women. A MALE ONLY WORLD."

First of all, I'm a Paragon City hero as well. I've pre-ordered CoV and can't wait for the official release of Issue 5. :-)

Second, you're 100% right. I don't mind ads in games if it fits with real-world experience. If I see a Coke machine in a game set in modern times, I don't think twice about it. In fact, it adds an immersive element to the game since in real life I see Coke machines all over. In City of Heroes, there are snack machines in building break rooms. I wouldn't mind seeing Resee's or M&M's or Lays Potato Chips (or better yet, several real brands of junk food) stocked in them. I really like your idea of placing era-appropriate ads. An old-timey Coke sign in a game set in the '40's would be awesome, or a spiffed-up futuristic looking logo in a game set in the future would probably be pretty cool.

However, if the ads don't fit in with real-world experience or are pushed relentlessly on the viewer, they detract from a game and make it less fun to play. As a rule of thumb, for example, if I notice a product placement in a television show or movie, it's likely that they've already screwed up because ideal placements should just naturally fit in. If you want to see placements from hell taken to a humorous extreme, check out Return of the Killer Tomatoes . In some movies and shows, I really feel like they're pushing product placements to this extreme.

Fortunately, games haven't gone there yet, and if we're lucky, placements will remain very subtle. I'd rather have nothing at all than obvious ads, but knowing how greedy and pushy advertisers are, we'll probably just eventually end up with the latter.

One thing's for sure, though. The day we start having full commercials in games that we pay for, I'm giving up gaming and taking up this new thing I heard about called reading...

Anyone else remember that late 90's flick with Fred Savage about his videogame master of a brother. At the end of the movie there is a "speedrunning" contest between like 4 others playing Super Mario Bros. 3.

I think the movie is a great overlooked example because the kid brother was able to win due to the secret shortcuts he found.

Just a thought...

You have forgotten one important thing, calling someone guilty implies they have done something wrong. So when your urine sample tests positive for an illegal substance, you have committed a crime, but when you test positive for a genetic defect, it's not because you did something wrong, you were just born like that.

In truth it's like not getting hired because you are too short, or you happen to have blue eyes, both of which are generally beyond most people's control. This actually leaves an interesting question, is it wrong to refuse an applicant because of a genetic defect. If you think that some people with eye problems aren't allowed to drive, and driving is part of the job, then by all accounts I feel the employer has the right to refuse to employ you.

It is a very tricky problem, some genetic traits are necessary for a particular job, while others merely make you perform better. So where does one draw the line, Gattaca is an example where requiring certain genetic traits for you job may have gone to far.

As I expected, there are, again, some anglo-saxon neo-liberal capitalists busy trying to talk this kind of behaviour 'right'.

I'm a libertarian myself, and all for (moderate) capitalism, but all this rampant justifying god damn everything to what the economical benefit of it is, makes me puke. The inherent greed, amount of self-centrism and self-serving egotism, the twisted ethics of such grabbing corporations and 'businessmen' who have a severe lack of empathy always gives me the shivers. Let the world be run by corporations, and you are living under fascism, basically.

This latest is only one step further, but if there isn't a clear oposition against it... you may one day welcome the brave new world of Gattaca.

While, at the bottom line, and regardless of all those posts with justifications and explanatory crap for why it's not that bad an idea, it comes down to this: it's discrimination. Plain and simple. just as your gender, your race, etc. CAN NOT be a factor (at least legally) when applying somewhere for work, so is your genetic profile.

People who fail to see this probably have serious problems with understanding any ethical behaciour in society, IMHO. Economical darwinism my ass: that philosophy sucked since it was created in the 19th century. I prefer to see people as people, not as economical units.

This whole issue only comes up because the poor way in which health care is structured in the U.S. If we had universal health coverage, it wouldn't really matter much "whose fault it was". The person with the injury would get treatment, and that would be the end of the problem. All the money that is currently wasted on finger-pointing litigation and redundant paperwork could be spent on actual medical care instead. (and before you accuse me of being business-unfriendly, let me point out that even big business is finding that the lack of a coherent health care system makes the US less competitive)

And on another note, why is every trend always "troubling", every impact "profound"?

That's not the case at all -- there are plenty of trends that are non-threatening and unimportant. It's just that nobody bothers to write articles about them, for precisely that reason.

I find it amusing that those who would, say, be fully in support of embryonic stem cell research, apparently throwing any ethical concerns to the wind, all of a sudden see "troubling" ethical implications for employers trying to use the same essential tools.

The distinction you are missing is that embryonic stem cells come from embryos, which are (a) not persons (in the commonly understood sense of the word), since they don't have minds or bodies, and (b) going to be thrown away anyway, so stem cell research will at worst not result in any loss of life that wasn't going to be lost anyway, and at best will save or improve the lives of millions of people. Genetic discrimination, on the other hand, has potential to cause significant problems for many people, hence the hand-wringing. (Go watch Gattaca if you'd like to see an example of the sort of things people want to avoid)

This reminds me of the movie Gattica in a way. How long until companies like this just refuse to hire people who are genetically prone to carple tunnle or anything else that might affect their work performance?

In 2003 and again in this 2005 session, the U.S. Senate passed a bill to prohibit discrimination on the basis of genetic information with respect to health insurance and employment. That bill -- introduced by Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, but with co-sponsors including Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, Democrats of Washington -- now awaits action in the U.S. House of Representatives. The legislation is supported by the Bush administration and if enacted into law would ensure that no one in America would lose their jobs or their health insurance because of a genetic test result.

Sounds like Gattaca. So how much would it cost to run these "unproven genetic tests," I'd imagine it's quite expensive. Besides how much of it genetics and how much is just plain wear and tear, if I spent most of my life hunched over a keyboard typing or "playing racket ball" ... oh dammit. No genetic discrimination!

That was almost funny. Sort of like watching a "joke" on that old show Saved by the Bell. You always knew, from the laugh track, that Screech just gave a really, really funny line. But, for some reason, you just didn't laugh.

Rich people could purchase their very own Mr Miyagi Fly Trap (TM)

Actually, The Warriors is based on a movie, so it's not really "breaking new ground".

Hmm.. I can see someone like Steve Erkel in a show called ... Pimp my server. :)

Probably a Donnie Darko joke. See giant pewter rabbit here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246578/photogallery

A good fantasy or sci-fi, or any story about alien places and creatures is successful (=appeals to the audience) only if they emobody human ideals in them like justice, honesty, self-sacrifice, love, beauty, overcoming adversity and other such things.

Morgan Freeman narrates both March of the Penguins and War of the Worlds (opening and closing scene) this summer.

A search for the world "narrator" on his IMDB page turns up more movies (most of which I've never heard of).

Baraka is also worth your time.

I fully agree. Kung Fu Hustle is now one of my top 4 favorite movies of all time. For documentaries, we've also got the Aristocrats to look forward to this year. It just opened up on four screens this past weekend and earned $243,796. I suspect Aristocrats will top this penguin movie in box office reciepts.

Oh, yeah. There was also the American release of "Old Boy" earlier this year. It's definitely the most extreme revenge flick I have ever seen. So, yeah, some people may generalize and say nothing but Hollywood crap is in the theaters, but like you've pointed out, that's not the case.
