Slashback: Lamo, Trilogy, Searching
Microsoft thinks LookSmart looks less smart. securitas writes "Internet search company LookSmart was dropped by Microsoft's MSN service today. MSN has decided not to extend its licensing contract with LookSmart beyond January 2004. The news is devastating for LookSmart since, 'Microsoft accounted for approximately 65 percent of listings revenues, and all of LookSmart's licensing revenue in the second quarter of 2003,' according to a company press release not listed on LookSmart's site. The move comes after LookSmart recently launched its own Overture-style pay-per-click service and indicates Microsoft is close to launching its new search engine technology designed to unseat Google for the search crown. All of this is against the backdrop of acquisitions by rival Yahoo. More coverage at SearchEngineWatch and a Reuters mirror at CNN Money."
They could have fixed this if they'd googled for an answer ... powerg3 writes "This follow-up, explains the Google wackiness posted yesterday. Here's the quote from the Google Weblog: '...when a spam result comes up in a search, Google not only blocks the spam, but every result after it. This means that for searches where spam results manage to rise to the top, very few -- sometimes zero -- results will be returned....It's pretty amazing that such a serious bug made it past Google's tests. It will be interesting to see how quickly it's fixed.'"
Pardon me, mum, can I borrow your hard drive? AndreL writes "The Guardian has an update about the BBC's digital archive plans. They're considering using P2P technology to avoid bandwidth bottlenecks.

Please arrive in costume if at all. KTecumseh writes "The list of theaters showing the extended editions of LOTR as been revealed. You can check out the list at the official website, and before you look, pray that you live somewhere close by to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. For those that can not make the full 10-hour saga, they are also showing the first two extended additions on different dates, but who wants to miss out on an entire theater of sweaty LOTR fans."
Shamus Arrigan asks plaintively "There is no mention of these ticket sales in any other country. Does anyone know when and where these tickets will be sold at? (Canada especially)"
Wait, are you fellas press? Dangnabbit! ccnull writes "Good news from the inquest against hacker Adrian Lamo. According to a paragraph in a Washington Post column (buried about 3/4 of the way down the story), the FBI appears to be backing off from pursuing reporters' notes in the case. Relevant quote: 'A Justice Department official says the FBI agent "acted out of turn" by not seeking approval from the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan and Attorney General John Ashcroft's press office. "The agent did not follow standard procedures," the official says. "We're just not going to pursue it. It is the policy of the Justice Department to exhaust all other means before seeking information from members of the media."'"
Eh, what's a few orders of magnitude? Grant hayes writes: "It seems the decimal point in the Mono story you ran is being a bit ambitious. We should be reading Mono 0.28, not Mono 2.8.

"...a list of the theaters whose seats will soon be smooshed for far longer than usual under the weight of those dedicated enough to sit through 10 hours of Lord of the Rings"
And also those large folks that will play an inspired game of D&D after the movie.
I'm thinking that the title 'Lord of the Inflatable Butt Rings' would be more appropriate for those with more tender hindquarters.
You have to wonder if with the LOTR there will be breaks or will people just have to step out in the middle of films. Now if they were cut together as one large epic that would be cool.

BTW, he was at K-mart the other day. Apparently he showed up because he heard little boys' pants were half off there. go figure.
$12.50 per person? In Orange County, CA many theaters are up to $9.50 for standard seating, so I wouldn't think twice about spending another $3 for a little luxury. I hope we start seeing this sort of thing around here.

I hate replying to Myself but in Denver.. Tic's go on sale @ 12:30 PM for 35 Dollars a seat.
I heard that there will be no toilet breaks, because it's all part of a contest. See, without toilet breaks, that will make it easier to distinguish who is really a hardcore LOTR fan and who is a poser. There will be judges monitoring the audience via hidden camera, and whoever earns the most points as a hardcore LOTR fan (dressing up in costume helps your score) will be awarded a full-size cardboard cutout of, umm, Gandalf. I am completely serious. Really.

wasn't added to the movie to begin with.
If you're in for a penny you're in for pound, as the saying goes. What difference is 20-30 minutes going to make on a 3 hour movie? Are people simply going to walk out at exactly 3 hours?
The extra footage added to Fellowship really fleshed out the story and brought it closer to the book.
Just my 2 cents.
I wonder how many incidents of Deep Vein Thrombosis there will be among those sitting through the 10 hour epic?

You'd think that before a company entered into a relationship with a company like Microsoft (Or SCO... whoever...) the aforementioned company might... you know... look at Microsoft's past history or something? It's like marrying a woman with 7 divorces. She might not divorce you, but that's not where I'd put my money. What are these people thinking "Oh, the past is littered with the corpses of companies they partnered with and then sucked dry and then abandoned as dry husks of their former selves... but I'm sure they've turned over a new leaf and won't do that to us! They've said they like us!"

Average meaning mean I'm guessing.....
If 400lb is the mean, what does a relatively heavy LOTR Nerd weigh? (Especially considering that some are quite skinny.)
And 10 hours.... (and this is not a comment on the weight joke.) it's not just bathroom breaks but meal breaks that will come into play there. And no, eating junk food while watching the movie isn't a meal. Need good protein.
In the past when a movie was 3 hours long you had an intermission in the middle. It is nice to get up and walk around every hour or so. I remember being suprised when Malcolm X didn't have an intermission. When they re-released Laurance of Arabia there was an intermission. I have not seen it yet but I heard that Shoah had more than one intermission.
So what happened?
Did we go through the 80s without any (mainstream) 3 hour movies and after so long a time movie studios forgot the concept?

The Regal Cinemas Hacienda Crossings in Dublin is just down the street. I asked my wife if she was interested. She looked at me like I was insane. My daughter, on the other hand, is all for it.
I tried to convince my daughter to make herself up like an elf. She has an elfish quality about her, so it seemed natural, but she rejected the idea. Well, she's more Drow than Elf since I'm convinced that she is evil (she's a teenager).

I do agree that there should be more of those. When I saw Goodfellas" in 1990 it was so riviting I never left my seat. I'll admit that it was only two hours, twenty-five minutes, but that was the longest stretch I've ever endured that didn't involve the legal system. My urinary tract took years to recover: they intro the movie in 1971, then go back in time. The whole time I'm watching the calander to see when they get back to 1971. Little did I know the movie tracks the characters on into the Eighties...

Oh the memories.
/. yesterday, I remembered that I had it and had not played it yet. Spent about 13 hours last night playing it. I'm not terribly out of shape either, I do get up and away from my computer on a regular basis. But 24 hours of total immersion does not seem extreme at all to me.
... glad she did.
In 199* (I honestly do forget what the year was, I wasn't sleeping much back then do to a screw up in my AD/HD medication, and my memory is a little foggy) I went to a 24 hour sci fi show at a local theater here in Cincinnati. They used to call it the repatory back then, its gone now.
I'm fairly certain they broke more than a few laws showing things as they did, or they were bootleg copies, but they ran 24 hours of sci fi, no breaks.
Star Wars, Empire, ROTJ, ST 1-4, a few choice trek episodes, Akira (that was the reason I really went, and I think was the reason MOST people were there) Terminator, Aliens, and Outland.
It was actually quite enjoyable.
I know there are a lot of people who think sitting in one place for 24 hours would be torture, but its not once you get past hour 4 or so. I mean, how many of you have blown a day sitting in your chair in front of your monitor playing your favorite mmorp, or ut2k3 or half life?

Gimme a bathroom break every 3-4 hours. (I suppose it would be a little harder than it was in the 90's, because I was stupid and took up smoking, so I would be jonesing for a cig pretty bad after about 4 or 5 hours)
I would drop $50 in a heartbeat to watch the entire LOTR trilogy, if they threw in a snack cart or something in the middle.
In short, intermissions would be cool, but I really don't think they are needed, especially when it is material you have probably seen before.

I wish it was true, but the "Director's Seating" is still a 100+ seat theater. Certainly comfy (reclining leather seats), and a way to avoid the teenagers, yet not even close to worth the price. However, if you happen to get a free admission ticket (I did for a movie delayed by technical difficulties), there is no surcharge to the Director's seating.

The MSN deal paid something like $14 million up front, and they got MSN to look the other way while LS sold slots in their directory feed. It was slimy, but profitable, and for LS, this was all they needed. No other search engine made a similar deal with LS - even those that used the LS directory got it for almost nothing up-front, and only a share of the clickthrough revenue.
Unfortunately even a monopoly like MS had to wake up someday, and realize that the revenue can be theirs alone, for the cost of a few developers and a billing system, and the directory wasn't much value anyway, so the whole deal went in the dumper.
For LS, there wasn't much alternative, as their management never had much technical leadership ability, and they mainly focused on what they were good at, which was talking companies into having unprofitable joint ventures with them (eg British Telecom).
LS tried to get some technical acumen by laying off their developers and buying other companies, but this strategy never lead to any good technology, to put it mildly.

I'd tear that geek cad up right now if I were you. I don't even blink at the thought of spending ten hours in a theater. Not even just for LOTR, I could handle even a Care Bare's Movie trilogy if I were in the right mood.
The key is to offset the ridiculous periods of sitting and staring with equal amounts of walking or hiking. So a ten hour movie binge means a nice ten hour hike the next day (or the day before, probably better to give you a reason to sit).

The ArcLight is a uber-theatre in Hollywood that is part of the Cinerama Dome. This theatre has assigned seating, a resturant, and.... A FULL BAR!. I predict drunked fanboy brawls about 20 minutes into the second movie.
Hollow words will burn and hollow men will burn.
Personally I would be more worried about the possibility of deep vein thrombosis. It occured how many times in the past few hours on roughly 10 hour flights? If I owned a participating cinema, I'd be showing warnings before the movie recommending you stand up every few hours and stretch.

Okay, lemme get this straight ... it's a story about a hobbit who has to throw the One Ring of Power into Mount Doom to save Middle Earth from the Dark Lord Sauron. It starts off with Bilbo Baggins leaving the Shire and walking off on a long journey. Then Frodo & Company walk to Bree, after which Aragorn joins them and they walk to Rivendell. Then Legolas, Gandalf and Gimli join them and they set off walking toward the Misty Mountains ... you get the idea. Our way of appreciating this epic of walking is to sit for ten hours straight. Maybe I'll walk to the theater.
I called my local theater here in Orange Park and asked if there were breaks in between each movie. They replied that the showtimes are 1, 5:30, and 10. If my calculations are correct that gives you between 45 - 60 mins in between each movie. Plenty good for going to dinner/lunch/linner, whatever.
For the Canadians in the Montreal/Ottawa area, I started making a slew of phonecalls to various theaters. In Montreal, the paramount is NOT playing the marathon, Cinema Guzzo is NOT playing the marathon, the AMC Old Forum Is NOT playing the marathon. Players isn't I don't think either, but that is because the only line I got a hold of just mentioned they were a part of Paramount, which isn't holding the marathon. In a few minutes, I'll be making calls to all of the Cinema Odeon owned theaters, and I'll be making a search for any Alliance Atlantis ones, but so far, it has been a needle in a haystack. In Ottawa, I was only able to get a hold of Gatineua, and they hung up on me, so I don't know what is up with that theater, I'm currently trying to get a hold of the World Exchange. If I find out anymore, I'll drop some notes down. I don't have any plans to call Toronto at this moment, because I'm hoping one of the Ottawa or Montreal theaters will have it. :(

Actually, the theaters would probably love to have intermissions in long movies. They make good coin on the concessions, so any time we're in the lobby and not in the seats is to their advantage.
It's pressure from the studios preventing this from happening. The studios are getting a piece of ticket sales, so they want to maximize the number of screenings per day and minimize the time in between start times.
That perfectly coincides with my own personal policy...
(I used to work in television news, and as a result, I don't think I will ever trust anything the media has to say.)
The Digital Sorceress
"Lawrence of Arabia" always had an intermission. From what I gather, the DVD even has the 15 minutes of music and black screen as part of the show! That's a bit silly IMO.
A couple of years ago, one of the better movie theatres in Toronto was closing, so for the last weekend they were showing "Lawrence of Arabia." A few blocks away at one of the best theatres in the city, they were showing "Apocalypse Now: Redux." Being the enterprising young men, my friend Dan and I saw both shows! We walked from one to the other (there was about an hour in between shows) grabbed some fast food and tickets, and headed on in.
As long as the breaks between each of the LOTR flicks is about an hour, I could easily do all 3. I've done the Film Festical when it's in town, seeing up to 5 movies a day starting at 10am and seeing the last on at midnight. The trick is to eat normally and not overdose on the caffeine.
It doesn't mean much now, it's built for the future.

The trilogy is showing in only one theater in the Los Angeles area, in Hollywood. That is just stupendously stupid.
According to the 2000 census there are 2.7M people over the age of 18 just in the city of Los Angeles, nevermind the rest of L.A. county which is probably another 3M-4M or so over the age of 18. It's going to be *very* crowded in that theater.
On top of that Hollywood is one of the very worst areas for traffic, and especially for parking (and in SoCal that's really saying something).

I completely missed that.
I saw the "Making Of..." special on TV and that was enough for me.
I assume that Newline wanted to keep the length down to allow more screenings per day. More screenings = more revenue. This is a bonus for theatres as well since they will sell more concessions for each screening.
Would have helped if I actually saw the bonus materials, never bothered, I was too hyped to watch the extended versions to care.
I would buy the extended versions in a heartbeat, but I am waiting until all the extended versions will be available as a set, which I assume is a given.
I've been trying for tickets since 9:55am PDT and finally got through to customer service to ask "what's going on?".

The scoop: Apparently movietickets.com (the only way to get trilogy tickets for Cinerama) is experiencing technical difficulties connecting to some or all AMC theaters. As of 10:35am PDT they are supposedly NOT yet sold out... they haven't been able to sell ANYTHING yet. The customer service rep advised me to try back every half hour.

Anyway, I cannot wait. As I have a renaissance costume for the Renaissance Faires I attend, I'll be wearing that. I also bought a special package that lets me eat all the hot dogs, popcorn, soda, candy, and whatever else I want for the snack bar all day at no extra charge.

I've worked as a movie theatre projectionist for a number of years, and while I have no insider knowledge about this particular release I'm sure there will be intermissions. You see, film is long and heavy, and is most popularly run on to and off of what are called platters. The largest platters I've ever see could only physically hold about 4.5 hours of film. Add to this fact a 5 hr film would weigh in excess of 200 lbs, and that the platter motor and arm will have trouble with something that heavy, figure you'll be guaranteed your bathroom breaks. It'll take at least two minutes to switch the film to the next piece, and if I were running this movie I'd plan for at least three pieces.
