    Wow, if they had just used the word prequel, my lack of interest would be complete.

    Is this a movie tie-in for the new Windows Vista?

    I am on a 1 GHz G4 with 1.25 GB RAM and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 and I am getting 22-24 fps. So just find yourself a four year old Mac and it should run just fine.

    After watching this I peed myself, and memories of the Penny Arcade comic about Americas Army flushed into my mind, whizzing around for many a minute, until it flowed out gracefully.

    I guess my penis is proud of me.

    he wants to be a girl, he's already 3/4 of the way there. lol

    Dating a dominatrix and letting her wax your eyebrows is "3/4 of the way" to being a girl in your circles? What are you, Amish or something? (If so, you better get off the Internet before you get yourself shunned!)

    Shit, in most of the country, that sort of thing wont even get you kicked out of an Elk's lodge. This is 2005, for fuck's sake! Let people live how they want to live.

    No matter how many shitty movies the Wachowski brothers crank out, they will always be the creators of Bound.

    For that alone, my hat comes off whenever they walk by.

    Sure, they also made a trilogy of kung-fu movies dressed up as sci-fi. (The first: Overrated. The second: Underrated. The third: Abysmal) Nevertheless, this minor achievement can not possibly be regarded as important or career-defining as making a movie in which Jennifer Tilly seduces Gina Gershon and which features Joey Pantliano playing a mobster. What more could anybody ask for?

    It is a vision of a Communist authoritarian future. Communism is per se Left.

    Maybe he would have written an anti-Right book if by 1947 the Right-wing authoritarian regimes had fallen. The Left wing authoritarian regime (USSR) was not only still in power but in assent.

    I wish I could watch the trailer, but I downloaded the 1920*1080 version and it plays at 2 fps, tops. If my computer performs this poorly on this, who has a computer that can play it properly? (I'm on an Athlon 64 3400+ w/ 1.5 GB DDRRAM and a GeForce 6800 btw)

    You can always tell if it's a gamer having the problems, because they always post thier specs, no matter how irrelevant.

    Yes, but a true gamer would have them in his sig, preferably flashing, and the truly faithful would have a constantly updated temp and clock reading posted too.

    Damn kids are lazy these days.

    Yeah, in the new version he blows up two London landmarks, they start detaining people without trials, and everyone else feels marginally safer because TV tells them to.

    Came to the right place to ask this question. As an experienced 3D gamer, I have experience in the technical aspects of hi-rez, SXyGA, starting from Dead or Alive to GTA: Hot Coffee. Go to Tools>Options>Video Menu. Turn the visual eye-candy off:

    --Bullet time OFF
    --Shadows OFF
    --MirrorEffect OFF
    --SmokingTrails OFF
    --BouncingBoobies OFF
    --HugoWeaving OFF
    --Natalie Portman ON
    --Clothes OFF

    That should bump up your framerates. Betcha never heard that before, in that context, huh?

    If you don't find Gina Gershon attractive as a woman, then you are clearly a gay man.

    Glad I could help you discover this about yourself. Now go chase that rainbow, darling!
