All this talk about primes and calculators and such.
If only they had it in the Cube.

....to determine who wins is a no-holds barred, fight to the death. No problems with chad's, a brother's state, the man with the most number of votes losing, etc, etc..

Simply take both the candidates, lock them into a cage and have a gladitorial conflict to the death (or one quits).

The GNAA has today broken the media lockout on North Korea's nuclear explosion. With governmental and press agencies everywhere desperately lying to the sheep-like public, the GNAA has had to step forward.

"We did it", the words of Gay Nigger Association President timecop. Nigger agent Relex is believed have penetrated deep into DPRK territory and conducted sabotage missions culminating in the recent Nuke blast. His weeklong absence from #GNAA (on irc.gnaa.us) was cause for suspicions that dangerous operations were afoot. Intelligence sources indicate that Relex did not have enough time to escape the lethal zone of the warhead, and was well within its kill radius at the time of detonation.

A pink ROFLcopter was seen speeding across the DPRK-Chinese border late Saturday night. Murmurs of Relex's successful extraction were confirmed finally on Sunday, 12 August by his personal appearance in #GNAA. He refused to comment on any operations at the time, claiming to have been "in Mexico".

His miraculous survival has led many to hypothesize about his invincibility. Some suggest the Holy Gay Nigger Seed may have "life-sustaining" properties, suggestions that the white medical establishment has dismissed. There is an ongoing debate surrounding this idea, with both sides throwing arguments back and forth. Supporters point to GNAA Terrorist Tar_Baby's unverified survival of the OSTG disaster, that killed over 300 Indians. The opposing camp points to the recent capture and possible death of GNAA broadcast propagandist l0de after he made threats to "crash a cruise ship into the Whitehouse". As of this release, the issue is not resolved, and hard evidence is lacking.

The GNAA's North Korea operations are believed to stem from the ongoing Korean/Black hatred.

Anyone remember The Last Starfighter where the protagonist plays a game and ends up saving the galaxy? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087597/

"Greetings, starfighter! You have been recruited by the star league to defend the frontier against Xur and the Kodan armada!"

He's just trying to deflect attention from the Pirates of Silcon Valley slashfic. Editors are on crack! This is news for nerds but apparently it doesn't matter to them!!! Mod this post up to show your support for software developer slash fiction.

I saw Things to Come just recently (Wells himself wrote the screenplay). It was pretty good (if you can get past the cheese factor). The first third, depicting an air raid on Everytown (ie London) and the world's descent into barbarism during a decades-long war was very effective. The middle part (where the airmen from Basra - of all places! - impose peace upon what's left of the world) - was less effectively dramatically, I felt, but has some very good performances, ideas, and sets. The last third was a bit silly, involving the preparations for a trip to the Moon via a massive cannon (Wells should have known better) and the attempts by a technophobic demagogue to stir up the masses to smash the cannon (ie to stop progress, as it makes noone happy). But the sets are fantastic, in that (now) retro-futuristic way, and there is some stirring over-the-top philosophizing at the end. Overall, definitely worth seeing.

Maybe it's going to be part of the not-used parts of the film? The original cut was almost 5 hours, and they cut it down to just under three for the theatrical release.

No, it was 3 and a half hours long in the theater.

Secondly, there was no Scouring shot. The closest they came to that was in the first film when Frodo looked into the mirror of Galadriel. After hearing people complain the ending was too long anyway, I think having another fight scene that only involved 100 troops and took another half hour would have gone over like a lead balloon.

Personally, I was disappointed that Saruman wasn't in RotK, and I would rather see Samwise confront the Watchers than see Legolas take down an Oliphaunt singlehandedly, but there is no such thing as a perfect movie adaptation of a book. I recommend the movie Adaptation for those upset about the conversion from one form of art to another.

20 years ago, in 1983, there was Special Bulletin

From the trivia page:

When this film was first broadcast, the network superimposed the word "dramatization" on the bottom of the screen every few minutes and ran disclaimers after every commercial break, to remind people it was only a movie. That didn't stop some people in Charleston, S.C. from panicking anyway.

The trivia entry doesn't go into specifics, but I remember the movie (it was a bit overly dramatic in places, but actually wasn't a bad movie), and subsequently reading that local law enforcement got at least a few calls.

Well, the nazi base is just a few miles west of Kurt Russell's base. So, they can't be too far apart.

1958, try and find an earlier ieteration. And both V and ID4 had the exact same way for the aliens to show up: Surprise appearamce, giant saucers, hover silently over metropolises.

Not quite accurate. It's quite common that two movies get greenlighted around the same time that have the same basic premise or story; 3 movies at once is extremely rare.

It has nothing to do with one studio finding out that another one has been greenlighted, then rushing to copy it; it's just a matter of probabilities. Of the thousands of screenplays and pitched ideas that studios buy each year, there's a significant change that there will be at least two that are on the same basic idea.

The last thing a major studio's going to do is deliberately copy the same idea as another studio (and of course there are always exceptions, but this is the general rule). It doesn't make financial sense. Look at it like a timeline:

- It begins with studio A buying a script about, let's say, a giant asteroid smashing into the Earth. Let's assume studio B finds out the very same day that this script was bought, and decides (that day) to make its own giant asteroid movie.
- Studio A has a huge lead-time because the screenplay has already been written; Studio B is months behind (despite what you may think about the quality of the movies that come out, writing a good, original screenplay is really fucking hard). So if it wants to beat studio A's film to theaters, it needs to cut a lot of corners both on the script and on preproduction.
- Studio B STILL has to hope that, even if they do cut those corners, they finish their movie first. The more they rush, the worse the movie is going to be; but taking longer means they risk coming out second with a movie that is still not going to be very good.
- On the flipside, if B deliberately takes longer so that it comes out with its movie months after A, it has to hope that its movie ends up being better than A's, because otherwise it will just look like an also-ran. This is not trivial.

There are little independent producers/studios that will make cheap rip-offs in order to glom onto the media frenzy accompanying a big movie (witness the numerous cheap asteroid strike direct-to-video movies that came out right around the same time as Armageddon), but that's a different story, because those movies have a tiny budget and the leftover hype from the Big Hollywood Version can easily turn them a profit. Paramount is not going to see Universal buy a script about a volcano exploding and rush its own into production.

If they both happen to have bought the same story around the same time, and then one announces that it's going into production, the other might then rush its own into production -- but they've already got the script, so it's a more even race (and since they've already spent the money on buying the script, they don't want to waste that investment. Nevermind that 95% of the scripts they buy, they never make, but when there's suddenly a competitor to a particular script they bought, it makes them macho).

The weirdest one that I remember is the two biopics about Steve Prefontaine, a fairly obscure distance runner.

Some of the largest grossing films of all time employed little know actors and played hardly at all on current popular themes of films. As examples Star Wars and E.T.

We saw this a few years ago when Tri-Star took the internationally-known brand-name of Godzilla and slapped it on the front of a movie in which the monster bore little to no resemblance to the real deal.

And it was gone from the local cinema in 2 weeks, by many accounts it was an expensive flop.

Never underestimate the power of a brand-name. Remember when we were kids and you just *had* to have Pac-Man on your home console?

It would surprise me if they did make a Pac-Man movied after Mario Brothers was a massive flop and awful too boot (like that rushed ending? "Hey! I'm king again!") Many flops have been built around stars or recognizable names. The public is fickle. The Cat in the Hat was horrendous and raked in the dough, even though it made the Bottom 100 on Imdb.

You might have forgotten to mention this one:
"War of the Worlds" [TV-Series 1988-1990]

I can understand why... it's not like the title would give any clue that it's a related show.

Well. They do have Spielberg's version mentioned on imdb.com with Tom Cruise *shudder* as credited cast.

Movies (provided by IMDB)

Actually IMDB is an Amazon.com company, so in a sense they are providing themselves with movies.
History of IMDB.

Are you kidding? Sure, Spielberg has had his share of successes, but look at why they succeeded. Jurassic Park: great FX, sure, but an equally compelling story to go along with it (thanks to Crichton), and great casting/characters. Minority Report: extremely well done. And on and on and on...

How about Brits using Brit accents when they are suppose to be Russian?

Also, when did he warp a story before? Your argument is much more effective when you give examples... Because he didn't do U571, as you implied...

Check out Spielberg's schedule which doesn't seem to jive with this. Unless they're filming on secret location under a throw-off title, like Jurassic Park VII: The T-Rex vs Alien vs Predator

Check out Spielberg's schedule which doesn't seem to jive with this. Unless they're filming on secret location under a throw-off title, like Jurassic Park VII: The T-Rex vs Alien vs Predator

i dont know but i could have sworn there was a modern version done already and that is was a big summer block buster..

Actually, that depends on which movie. The 1956 version was pretty good.

Why didn't the Brits make their own version? Hammer made some great Sci-Fi movies, like Quatermass and the Pit.

As always, see the orig first for the 'full' story: War of the worlds (1953). Will be interesting/weird to see how they update it, special effects non-withstanding.

CVB

That was George Pal's War of the Worlds, made in 1953. George Pal also made the other movie you mentioned, The Time Machine in 1960.

George Pal also made When Worlds Collide and several other big budget (for the time) science fiction films. He really was the Spielberg/Lucas of that time.

Interestingly enough, there was a made-for-TV movie about ten years ago that went that same route. They had real newscasters from various markets all reporting on meteor strikes within the US.

Of course, despite dozens of disclaimers, panicked people still called the stations to ask if it was for real.

but IMDB has no entry for they're film, so I'll just have to use The TV series for now.

I loved that show, cheesy as it was.

hey... if they could embed a permanent static electric charge in the fiber, it would repel dirt; then you could make a suit out of it that would never wear out and never need washing:

SIDNEY [Alex Guinness to Joan Greenwood]: Do you know what a long chain molecule is ?....

Yes, it would. Independat film producers making it to the "big screen" is becoming more common, yes they are using the bigger companies like Tristar, Fox, etc for distribution, but these companies are trying to make money. If they see a movie with lots of potential from an independant (Farenheit 911, The Passion of The Christ) they are not going to turn it down. Controversy for something like a movie just makes it more popular.
Remeber that old movie, Exit to Eden? It was banned for a while here in Saskatchewan. It just made the movie more popular. It never hit the theatres, but when the ban was lifted and it came to video stores, it was impossible to keep it in stock, and it wasn't a great movie.

Yeah, they are contaminating our precious bodily fluids!

Barbarella Queen of the Galaxy has a scene with Jane Fonda stripping in zero gravity.

The Holiday of Jew's Revenge, September 11th, was bloodied once again this year. Officials say Gay Nigger Association of America member Tar_Baby stole a Cessna jet from a nearby airfield and crashed it into Open Source Technology Group headquarters, completely demolishing the building, as well as crushing and incinerating everyone inside.

Audio logs recovered via the jet's black box portrayed a disturbing course of events onboard the plane. Passengers were heard screaming for their lives as the terrorist raped and killed the male members of the plane by what was thought to be rupturing their colons with a gigantic black dildo with nails punched out the sides, based on evidence collected at the scene.

Within minutes of the attack, GNAA officials telephoned major news networks claiming responsibility, and promised to continue their campaign of destruction as long as an Open Source movement still existed. This is believed to be the major tenet of the 'Gay Nigger Jihad', first mentioned months ago during GNAA's campaign against AOL.

This comes almost simultaneously after OSTG recently changed their name from the Open Source Development Network (OSDN), in attempt to distance itself from name long associated with failure, stupidity, zealotry, and Cowboyneal. It was also part of a last ditch effort to convince investors not to steal a Cessna and fly it into the headquarters themselves.

Update: A few hours after the crash, the rescue team found what is believed to be the only survivor. CmdrTaco was found in a coma inside OSTG basement, still firmly gripping his tiny cock. In his other hand, he was holding a photo of a muscular black male, signed by "Gary Niger of GNAA". CmdrTaco was rushed to a hospital, and his condition remains critical.

That may be true but follow the money.

Pharmaceutical companies rarely spend research money on cures, they spend it on treatments and so are unlikely to find cures. Just like crop companies that spend money on crops genetically modified to resist herbicides, not bugs.

The documentary The Corporation describes modern corporations as sociopaths, optimised to make money above all else. An exaggeration but in large companies where individual employees, including the managing director, can rationalise and distance themselves from a company's misdeeds there is some truth in that assertion.
