Shrek 2 Trailer Released
ParticleMan911 writes "The Shrek 2 movie trailer (other formats) has finally been released by Dreamworks. Apparently Dreamworks has a goal to release 2-3 animated movies every year through 2006. Will Shrek 2 live up to the original, or will it be a dissapointment like most sequels?"
I'd agree, except if you follow the RottenTomatoes link, you'll see that the 3rd Matrix has the worst overall reviews by far. Call it what you want, but it fits.
Auto-reply to ACs: "Truly, you have a dizzying intellect."
The point about Rotten is that they throw out a gigantic net, and catch the reviews of a lot of critics. Morever, they spotlight particularly insightful or well-reasoned commentary (sound familiar?), and it floats to the top for everyone to see. It's not a perfect system, but it's pretty good, and a lot better than relying on one person or critic certainly.

Slashdot editors? Journalists? I have no idea what you are talking about.
Neither do they.

http://www.bartleby.com/64/C003/0170.html To wit: Corporate executives, car dealers, and politicians often cite the need to incentivize people to act in certain ways. They may want salespeople to work harder, customers to be more eager to spend, or businesses to take more risks. Incentivize has been motivating people since the mid-1970s--the more informal incent came along about 10 years later. Both words mean the same thing, "to give an incentive to" or "provide a motivation for." Usually the incentive is in the form of a material reward--a bonus, rebate, or tax break. But although these two verbs are popular with business leaders, they curry little favor with the Usage Panel, which sees them as trendy jargon. Ninety-four percent of the panel rejects incentivize in the sentence He's the leader of this organization, and he's got to have the whole team of people incentivized to improve shareholder value. Ninety-six percent reject incent in The management incented the employees to improve the shareholder value of the company. Panelists suggest motivate, encourage, and give incentives to as alternatives. --- Now then, it's your turn to provide a link proving that the word has been used since Victorian times. I mean, you wouldn't just make that up, would you?
ug....
ok, maybe. I still think it's Lithgow, but I can see how you might think it's Cleese.
