  1. Ah, sweet Elastigirl! by YetAnotherName · · Score: 5, Informative

    Elastigirl, who appears in this movie, was also the name of a superheroine (but with a hyphen: Elasti-Girl) in the DC Comics published Doom Patrol, an old comic from the 1960s. Her superpower: altering her size, not stretching parts of her body,

    OK, yes, I'm old. At least I'm not overweight and eating a rapidly congealing breakfast burrito ...

    Akamai (which is what Yahoo uses) moves around 15% of the web's traffic. A couple thousand /.'ers downloading a 30 megabyte file isn't even going to show up as a bleep to them, as terrible as that may sound.

    The Incredibles

    I'm not sure if the above link is the same trailer, but it's still good. The two links submitted in the article aren't even pumping out 10kb/sec @ 8am on a sunday morning.

  4. Saw the trailer at a showing of Sky Captain... by Realistic_Dragon · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...last night. Looks pretty good, they have some fantastic comedy writers working for Pixar - you could almost believe they were English.

    The look and feel of the whole thing was great, however they seem to have backed away from their more and more realistic graphics and this one is 100% cartoon feel.

    This was then followed by a commercial for SquareBob in a movie theater that only admits over 21s (the Premium in Framingham, MA). D'oh!

    Shrek was based on a children's book.

    Torrent is availabe via http://www.filerush.com/download.php?target=the_in credibles-tlr_m480.mov
    The bittorrent technology is vastly underused by the the media communities of movie trailers and game demos.

    Is that why I am downloading in 10k/s on my 10mbit connection? I think they could use som help...
    The problem is that the /. story links directly to a specific content server of the global akamai network (mp3content03.bcst.yahoo.com). Normally, you would make a HTTP/... request to yahoo for the movie file. Akamai would check which content server is the best for your request (geographically, load, ...) and you would download the file from this specific, for your request at that time optimal content server.

    It's obvious that this single content server can't handle the total bandwidth/load of all /. requests for a 30mb file.

    Conclusion: Please don't link to a specific content server, but to the original website/URL.
  8. Brad Bird! by May+Kasahara · · Score: 4, Informative
    I always look forward to Pixar's new movies, but The Incredibles is something extra special to me-- it's directed by Brad Bird, probably the best commercial animation director working in N. America right now. He really knows the medium of animation, and the level of acting (animation acting, not necessarily the voice kind) in the works he's involved in is superb.

    Check out The Iron Giant, Family Dog (if you can find it!), or even the early seasons of The Simpsons (on which he was a consultant) to see just how good this guy's work is.

    F.Y.I. The trailer is the second Incredibles Trailer. It's completely different from the first one and much more interesting..
