Ah, Shooting Fish has shown us the future with the Verbitech computer.

Pi

Pi itself was not the key, but rather a symptomatic resonation resulting from investigtions into Pi and the golden ratio (Phi?) I was very entertained by this movie. Highly recommended, though light on science.

Joey hacked the gibson?? o wait.. it was just the gnome server.. o.. wait.. that's even worse!

Come on now, I think Over The Top was one of his better acting jobs!

Two words: Office Space

A "pure IT job" of sitting in front of a screen all day would drive me bonkers

Yes... thats true. As said in Office Space, men were not supposed to be sitting in front of computers in cubicles all day.

We've seen this before.

If an object is large enough for gravity to round its shape, then it is no longer just a structure ruled by mechanical strength, like a rock, a building, or a mountain - instead, it is a wholly different kind of structure that we call a planet. I like to call this criterion, "Gravity Rules."

Does that make the moon a planet? How about Tyne Daly?

Ordered on the 29th of February? That sounds disturbingly like going to work on the 13th floor.

As a rock-in-roll Physicist once said, No matter where you go, there you are.

And a few other people, both before and after the movie.

Dragonball? Isn't that a jumped-up m68k?

No, you idiot.

Sure, both shows are cool, but really, Slashdot types ought to know him best as National Security Advisor Smirnoff.

"For DEMOCRACY, any man would give his only begotten son." -Metallica

Solution...become a shareholder.

Seeing this reminded me of a brilliant monologue from the film Network, which will be thirty years old before too long.

In this scene, Howard Beale, an insane TV news anchor, is being given a dressing down by the president of the network for exhorting viewers on the air to stop an important business deal. Ask yourself if this is the kind of world you want to live in.

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I... WON'T... HAVE IT!! Is that clear? You think you've merely stopped a business deal? That is not the case. The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back. It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity. It is ecological balance.

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems; one vast, interwoven, interacting, multivaried, multinational dominion of dollars. It is the international system of currency which determines the vitality of life on this planet.

That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today. And you have meddled with the primal forces of nature! AND YOU! WILL! ATONE!!! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale? You get up on your little 21 inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. Our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality -- one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock -- all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.

See this movie. It is at least as quotable as anything by Quentin Tarantino. Find it, rent it, watch it. Apart from the fashions and faded film stock, you'd swear this film was made last month.

Schwab

Well, actually, this is just simply a triumph of capitalism.

I mean if our businesspersons need some reason to want to make 10 kagillion dollars a week. If it's the search for some sort of adolescent fantasy in space or simply just stamping their face on the moon then so be it.

I think that Geoffrey Palmer (from "Butterflies" and "As Time Goes By") would make a great BLS.
Alternatively, Prince Charles.

And, of course, Rowan Atkinson (from "Black Adder"& "Mr. Bean") as The Master.
Ooo! Ooo! And John Inman (from "Are You Being Served?") as K-9. ("Walkies!")

They're all getting kind of old, though.

Also, it seems that people have somehow neglected to mention Mamoru Oshii's beautiful 2001 film "Avalon". It looks as much like anime as this does. It's more "arty" than the movies that slashdot goes crazy for (Matrices, LotR), but, IMRO* they have nothing on "Avalon".

*The "R" stands for "righteous"

Interestingly, both Eccleston and Izzard starred in the recent Revengers Tragedy, a gory Elizabethan revenge drama transplanted to a sort of post-apocalyptic near-future northern England setting. It could almost have been a Dr Who practice run: low budget, silly costumes, slightly skewed English setting. Predictably, Eccleston got to be unhinged and menacing, and Izzard got to be camp and menacing.

Morena Baccarin aka Inara from Firefly. Not sure the BBC could afford her, but she's currently out of a job I guess....

--Here's something to think about - how about this guy as a potential Doctor? ;-)

WETA Digital are currently working on the CG for a live action movie of Neon Genesis Evangelion (IMDB).

actually this sounds alot like another live action anime that came out in 2003. i believe its koren. anyways its called natural city.

Try The Day of the Jackal (the 1973 version, not the crappy Bruce Willis remake), for one.

Sheez... I think you could pick a better example for comparison than that. I mean, watermelons exploding is a pretty well established meme. I'm sure that there've been dozens of films with such scenes.

Since these organs are not hers, it makes me wonder how her body will react to these throughout life. Will they all age with her, having full operation? Also, at what point is a person considered which baby. If half of this baby is made of the doner baby, which baby is it?

These are serious and important questions. Fortunately they have already been carefully considered and answered in The Fly

Indeed they were.

Here is a detailed comparison between The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell. IMHO, page 6 is the one that shows the fact The Matrix was heavily based around Ghost in the Shell. Watermelons exploding from bullets during a marketplace chase scene? Hmmmmmm...

If it's live action anime you want - that one is a musty watch as well. There is some pretty slick CG work in there. If you watch the specials you'll see some of the really hard (and painful) work the actors had to go though!

So do niggers when they're chained together and weighed down with cannonballs.

I laughed when I saw that scene in Amistad. It was the feel-good comedy of 1997!

Yeah, and then he could get celebrity endorsements for every animal. That would be cool.

That's exactly what I thought, definitely he got his design cues from Mars Attacks!

I saw that movie.

It sucked.

... almost anything goes. Maybe we're more open minded. Maybe we're a little less uptight. Maybe we watch a little too much American TV.

One small addition: in context almost anything goes. You're not going to hear nasty words during the day, and that's exactly as it should be. But at night, when the kids should be in bed, that's another matter. If it's right for the story, leave it alone.

I was amused when the CBC showed the last Prime Suspect. When Helen Mirren said "fuck", they left it alone. When anybody else said it, they bleeped it out. Come to think of it, can anybody think of an un-bleeped usage on the CBC prior to the Degrassi movie?

Our other official language has different views on what's obscene, and while the French equivalents of the usual four-letter words come in handy - try translating a sentence like "I don't give a damn about Windows!" without them - the only word I've ever heard bleeped out was the Quebec-only obscenity "tabernacle".

Steel is one of the greatest films of the 20th century and it languishes on the bottom 100 on IMDB...

For god's sake why?

About S

Richard Hoagland's claims about life on Mars remind me of the mob's claims about poor Connie Booth being a witch in this movie .

His self-aggrandizing con-artistry is (intentionally) mind-numbing and the way he draws ridiculous conclusions on the presense of non-existant artifacts from sketchy evidence is hideous and repulsive.

Remind you of anyone?

On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
