Ghost in the Shell 2, Matrix Revisted, Daft Punk

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-read dept.

NeoCode sends tons of juice starting with "Ghost in the Shell creator, Masamune Shirow, has talked about a sequel to GITS in a recent interview. The director of the original is working on GITS2. The Matrix Revisted is essentially a prequel to the original Matrix movie. My guess is that the anime story might be along the lines of the Matrix comics that are on their website. Anyways, here are some tidbits about the Matrix anime. And lastly, CartoonNetwork has a interviewed Daft Punk about their anime video and their anime" I saw the Daft Punk (as well as all 3 Gorillaz!) videos on Toonami last friday. Had to immediately hit Cheap CDs and buy the album. (Yes, I'm buying CDs again. I ended my boycott now that Napster battle is over) I thought it was just Gap commercial soundtracks, but those are sweet videos.

    So you mean when Napster was around, you were not buying CDs? Glad to hear that Slashdot is publicly admitting piracy. I thought everyone said they were buying more CDs when Napster was around. I see that argument has gone straight out the window. That will do great for the RIAA side of the case.

    Sorry to flame our mighty mentors here, but I really think Slashdot would do better if there was not personal commentary on story headlines. Most of the valid complaints people have about this site is the biased or foolish comments added into the headlines. It is quite frustrating.

      I know they say "don't feed the trolls", but somebody was modding the parent up . . .

      Not buying CDs and piracy are two different things. You see, it would only be piracy if he didn't buy CDs, and then downloaded the music from the CDs anyway. What he's referring to is when many people in the /. crowd were boycotting the RIAA by refusing to buy their CDs -- just because you don't buy their CDs doesn't mean you're also illegally downloading MP3s in their place.

      By your definition, anybody who doesn't own a CD player is a pirate, because since they aren't buying CDs, they must clearly be pirating them!

      Just because CmdrTaco doesn't want to support an "organization" that he feels is bullying Napster doesn't mean he's using Napster illegally, or even at all. That's like saying that all people who support the Free Dmitry campaign are doing it because they're E-book pirates.

      Yup, Taco is in a trolling mood today, don't feed him. Apart from that, we already know that Taco will buy anything that has anime written all over it, tell us something new, only what with the Daft Punk video(s? I can only speak for the one I know: One More Time), the bottom line in terms of lameness certainly is reached. Man, is that clip dull, but it perfectly fits the song in that respect! I loved Daft Punk before that, I hate them now.

      GITS 2, I'd like to see that, but please spare us a dubbed version, and Matrix 2+3 (The Matrix Reloaded, the title of installment 2, btw.), well, let's see if Aaliyah's tragic death won't postpone its opening even further...

    (Yes, I'm buying CDs again. The Napster battle is over)

    So whats that for a comment?Is it necessary? Is this now a political tension of slashdot? You're admitting you used napster just of piracy?
    Honestly I really broke one of my CD's and downloaded the mp3. Really honest I had bought it befor, so it was 100% legal.

    Taco gives his impression of the way the humanity should tread musical values just as a side in brackets?

    Pleh now why I am reading slashdot at all, for such smartass side-comments?

    The French duo known as Daft Punk are well known throughout Europe for their amazing videos. They put out a DVD titled "D.A.F.T." containing all four videos from their first album, "Homework." You might want to check it out if you like their style... The disc even has commentary tracks and behind-the-scenes documentaries for each video... very cool stuff!

    BTW: The latest GAP ads are just a rip-off of the video for "Around the World" - directed by the great Michel Gondry.

    Shockwave is a plot by software hoarders to rob me of my freedoms, you sire a dispicable excuse for a human being for suggesting that the readers of this fine board willingly enslave themselves and give in to tyranny by using a proprietary plugin. You should be ashamed of yourself.

  5. Sad News... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just heard some sad news on TV, apparently Slashdot website creator, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after having his penis sliced off. Authorities say the accident involved Rob's penis, his computer, and an illegal computer device imported from China that was designed to stimulate the penis during cyber-sex. The authorities aren't releasing many details yet as to how it happened, but they suspect that the device malfunctioned which caused his penis to be sliced off. However, there is speculation among the Slashdot community that the Open Source Operating System "Linux" is to blame, for its faulty structure and lack of professional development. There is no word of whether there was any foul-play involved from hackers amongst the Linux community.
