Massive Two Towers Battle
ShadowLight writes ""In December vast hordes of eager filmgoers will mob cineplexes across the land and witness, at the climax of The Two Towers, one of the most anticipated scenes in recent movie history: the great Battle of Helm's Deep." This article talks about the software, named Massive, used to create this 50,000 creature battle."
second meaningless post?

I still haven't seen him as an extra in the Lord of the Rings yet.
I hate to appear to be a pacifist ... but wouldn't it be great if modern army's were governed by similar algorithms.
... bomb the fuck out of Afghanistan ... don't send in troops (that would violate the "minimize casulties" algorithm)
That said

I'm going to go see it in the theater anyway, maybe multiple times. I just want to see it earlier and have my own copy. :)

Did you know that New Line has already made more money on FOTR to pay for the TTT and ROTK, and about 75% profit on top of that?
It cost 500 million bucks to make all 3 movies. FOTR alone made almost 1 billion bucks worldwide. This is the perfect opportunity to show our contempt for the MPAA!
NOBODY GO SEE TTT OR ROTK. DOWNLOAD IT FROM MORPHEUS OR KAZAA OR GNUTELLA!
They'll be sure to get the message, but we won't be hurting people like PJ who actually make the movies!
Who does these mods? Ten minutes ago parent was +3 funny, now it's 1 Redundant. Did two moderators miss the punchline or what?
Ok, I know I can't be the only one who wants a copy of this to run on my own. Fuck the Sims, I want MASSIVE!
If I knew the wedgies I gave you back in 6th grade would have resulted in this . . . I might have taken a moments pause.
Well, it's not quite 50,000, but if a half-dozen or so will do you, there is always Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Vollyball for the Xbox? :P

In the future, I would want to not be isolated from my friends in the Space Station.
See, I can't afford to buy books considering the speed at which I read them... thank god for USENET!

Good Lord! Someone actually agreed with me?!
I've actually been closing my eyes in the movie theater when Two Towers trailers come on. I tried plugging my ears, but theaters are too loud - you can still hear everything. One of my friends actually steps out into the hallway while they play trailers, exactly because of this.
To everyone who doesn't believe me that trailers ruin movies - pick a movie that you know is coming out, but possibly haven't seen any trailers for, yet. For instance, The Matrix 3. Whenever you realize that you're watching a trailer for it, or seeing footage from it, close your eyes or turn the channel. I bet you'll like the movie more, because of it. I first tried this with Face/Off, and I think I was one of the few people in the theater who enjoyed it, because every stunt was brand new for me, when I was watching it in the movie.
Education is the silver bullet.
