Changed the title to "Revenge of the King"

No scouring of the shire was ever filmed. It doesn't happen.
For one, no way in HELL would it have worked in a filmed version...even the extended version as the pacing would be all off. I mean, a HUGE battle at Minas Tirith...then another battle at the Black Gate...then the crowning, the journey home with all the winding down and BAM another hour or so with the telling of the Scouring that totally has nothing to do really with the Ring, but just Sauroman being a dick. There is only so much conflict a movie can have in it before it just makes you numb and quite frankly, bored. The novel is different of course because the pacing is totally different and there it CAN work.
And who's to say that Wormtongue doesn't in fact kill Sauroman in this extended version?
Got this the day it came out, and I must have been one of the lucky ones because I've yet to sit in a que.
I have experienced the loot lag though, but I'm cutting Blizzard some slack as they would have had a totally smooth launch if they didn't have so many fans of the game coming out in droves to play it. 200,000 plus accounts made within the first two days? That tends to slow things down.
By contrast, EQ2 had a flawless launch by all accounts I've read, but when you have what, 5 people buy the game it tends to run smoothly. Ok, that's not fair, they had many more people than that. At least over 20 or so.
But WoW is running smooth now on my server. No lag now, never a que still...for me at least. So far it's been a great game. And no, it's not a "MMORPG for newbies" either. No more than any other MMORPG out there.
Hey, not going to buy cable

TV Piracy is Next
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
I don't watch TV at all. Also, Thieves-R-Us...sorry, I ment to say Comcast, is in our area but to put up basic cable...this is BASIC cable...they want 50 bucks a month! Oh, and when I used to have Comcast, I might as well have been a non-entity with them in the customer service area. Actually had a rep tell me that if I didn't like their service, I could cancel it...which I promptly did on the spot.
My antenna doesn't reach any local channels, yes, I'm in the boonies...yet I have 3mbit DSL. So, I watch one program a week, and I download the show "Lost". That's it.
Sorry, but I'm not paying Comcast 50 bucks a month just to watch one show.
Hey ABC, want to put commercials in? And still get paid? Offer torrents of your programs on your website of all your shows WITH the commercials still in them...and I'll download from there. I have no problems with commericals.
Read some of the comment on WoW or EQ2, you will see every other review/preview talk about how hard or difficult soloeing is.
Never saw any review/preview that said that WoW was hard or difficult to solo. I played through the WoW closed beta and I can tell you, every class can solo if they choose, or group if they choose. But there is certainly content that just has to have a group to do.
Oh and think about this. More people are playing korean RPG's with all their horrible western support then are playing ALL western games. Perhaps they got something right.
But they're only playing the Korean RPG's in Korea, not here. This is a quote from the article: "As of June, Lineage has just under 2.4 million such users worldwide, but only 7,000 in the United States." Having 7,000 subscribers here in the US makes it kind of a flop here. Big there to be sure, but just not anything special here. Which again I ask the question, why is Korea so ga-ga over this very very mediocre game? My only conclusion is that the government forces them to! lol
Lineage? How can this game be so popular? I've played it...I've played it again...I just don't get it.
Yes yes yes, it's huge in Korea...that's always thrown at us, Korea. Every man, woman and child in Korea playes MMORPG's since the day they're born blah blah blah. I get that. But Korea doesn't have any other game to play there? I mean, are they forced to play this or something?
Ok, this isn't a troll, it really isn't. Do people here play that game and if so, what is the draw for you? Just because I don't get it doesn't mean someone else doesn't.
Correct, not to Jackson. But are you saying the Beatles were sell-outs? Probably not...
But then again, I'm not going to get into the whole "selling out" nonsense. Artists who make money from their art are not sell outs. When the produce crap just because it may or may not sell based on their name alone could be considered that. But The Beatles? They hardly produced junk. Considering their last album Abbey Road (and I'm going last album recorded here) was probably one of their best ever!
But anyway, I don't throw around "sold out" about anyone. "Lost their way" or "out of ideas" perhaps...but that's a different matter.
while this is true that Jackson did a lot of detail, but it's all on the screen. As I said, there is a difference to "attention to detail" and detail that's not even seen. The dinner plates is an example of this or having the same company that did the carpeting for the real Titanic do it for the movie. And I doubt it being there helped the actors at all, unlike having a real suit of mail would do to the actors in LotR.
Wow, you really showed me! Put me right in my place didn't ya?
But since you probably have a smug little smile on you face I should wipe it off for you. As you may re-read my post I was refering to the NYPD and not little po-dunk towns where the population is iffy at best and getting Cletus to join the sheriff department because he got to at least the 6th grade is NOT the NYPD.
Oh, and since you love throwing links around here's one for ya at the NYPD Employment Requirements which shows...in case you can't be bothered to click the link:
# Candidates must be at least 21 years of age on or before the day of hire. # Candidates must be a United States citizen on or before the day of hire.. # On or before the day of hire, candidates must have successfully completed either:
" 1. Sixty (60) college credits with a 2.0 G.P.A. from an accredited college or university, or
2. Two (2) years of full-time, active military service in the United States Armed Forces with an honorable discharge and have a high school's diploma or its equivalent. "
I don't know...but this guy seems a bit too much into himself really.
I mean, watching the making of Titanic they showed that the underside of the dinner plates had the same stamp as the ones on the real Titanic. Um...ok...but you never saw this in the movie, so why even do it? Attention to detail is one thing, detail that's not even seen is another. An wow, they wonder why this movie cost over 200 million to make. Granted they made a huge profit, but still could have cost less to make.
Another little thing that bugs me is that Cameron had to go down to the real Titanic to get shots for the movie...again, why? Ego, pure and simple. They could have used exisiting shots (as there were already high res Imax footage he could have used) or special effects. Just filming at the site for this movie showed nothing that hadn't already been shown at before. Again...ego.
And, what has he done since? Where's the follow up to this? Is he paralized that he can't do it again? Notice how someone like Peter Jackson jumps right back out there and starts making another movie?
Cameron has the biggest ego going in Hollywood. Ask anyone that's ever worked with him.
McCartney personally had NOTHING to do with Jackson gaining the rights to these songs. He didn't "sign a contract" allowing Jackson to do this.
This is taken from snopes.com:
"The Beatles assigned their publishing rights to Northern Songs, a company created by Beatles manager Brian Epstein and music publisher Dick James in 1963. The Beatles (particularly John Lennon and Paul McCartney) were soon earning so much money from songwriting royalties, record sales, concert performances, and merchandise licensing that they were losing over 90% of their income in taxes, and they were advised to find a way of receiving their revenue in the form of capital gains rather than income (the former being taxed at a much lower rate), such as selling their song rights or putting their money into a public company. The Beatles opted for the latter route, and Northern Songs went public on the London Stock Exchange in 1965. Initially, Lennon and McCartney each retained 15% of the shares, George Harrison and Ringo Starr held 1.6% between them, Brian Epstein's NEMS company was assigned 7.5%, and Dick James and Charles Silver (Northern Songs' chairman) retained a total of 37.5%. In 1969, however, the Beatles lost a buyout bid for control of Northern Songs when Dick James and Charles Silver sold their share of the company to Sir Lew Grade, head of Associated Television Corporation (ATV).
In 1984, ATV's 4,000-song music catalog was put up for sale, and Michael Jackson (who had coincidentally been introduced to the benefits of song ownership by Paul McCartney himself) eventually outbid all other prospective buyers for it, including Paul McCartney, who wanted to buy back the rights to the Beatles' songs but was apparently unable or unwilling to raise enough money to pay for the thousands of other songs in the ATV catalog as well. So, for $47.5 million, Jackson acquired the publishing rights to most of the Beatles songs. (The four songs issued on the Beatles' first two singles -- "Love Me Do" b/w "P.S. I Love You" and "Please Please Me" b/w "Ask Me Why" -- were not part of the package since they were published before the formation of Northern Songs, and the rights to those songs are now controlled by McCartney's MPL Communications. ATV also did not own the rights to George Harrison songs published after Harrison's songwriting contract with Northern Songs expired in 1968, but they did hold the rights to various other Lennon-McCartney songs not recorded by the Beatles.)
Another key point here is that although Michael Jackson receives 50% of the royalties generated by Beatles songs by virtue of his ownership of the publishing rights, Paul McCartney and John Lennon (and Lennon's estate, now that he's dead) have always received their 50% songwriter's share of the royalties for all Lennon-McCartney songs. Neither ATV's nor Michael Jackson's acquisition of Northern Songs changed that, and Michael Jackson does not now receive royalties that would otherwise be going to the Beatles had he not acquired the publishing rights to their songs (except that, obviously, if Paul McCartney had managed to outbid Jackson for the publishing rights to the Beatles catalog, he and Lennon's estate would be splitting 100% of the royalties rather than 50%).
As a closing note, we should mention that Sony Corp. paid Michael Jackson $95 million in 1995 to merge ATV with Sony and form Sony/ATV Music Publishing, a 50-50 joint venture, so it's probably more correct to say that Jackson now owns half the rights to the Beatles catalog. "
actually, do you know what it takes to become a police officer in New York? They don't take high-school drop outs or people off the street. Many are college educated and continue on with their education.
No, you miss the point...they had this wiz bang computer program that doesn't exist the way it was shown on the show. It was like a fully 3D rendered version of New York down to every detail and building that flew through the streets to the precise location indicated on the photograph...I mean, in real time. Granted, graphics are fast and everything, but given the money cuts to the NYPD I doubt seriously they have some high tech computer like this when a simple table of building heights and a little trig and a map can do the same thing...and much cheaper.
I only saw the first two episodes of CSI:New York and just couldn't take it anymore. I mean, is it set like 10 years in the future or something because they're using technology that doesn't exist yet. And I guess the NYPD has one of the most sophisticated computer systems in the world! In one episode they were trying to triangulate the location of where a photograph was taken. They scanned in the photo of this girl with the skyline behind them. They simply clicked on the Empire State building and it gave them the exact hight, then they clicked on another building and the same thing happened, then they input the height of the girl and with a complete detailed 3D model of Manhattan they flew/zoomed to the exact address of where the photo was taken. Amazing. I hate crap like that.
I mean, wouldn't it have been more interesting/dramatic if they looked at the photo, saw the skyline and one of the cops opens a book with the heights of buildings and does some writing on a scrap of paper and then looks at a wall map. One of the other cops could have said "what are you doing, how can you find her like that?" and the other cop could say "didn't you ever take Trig in high school?". Believable and real. Also, another episode they were able to track a rat that swallowed a bullet with a hand held scanner ala Total Recall....I shit you not...
Now, the original CSI doesn't seem to do as much of this. Granted it has a little, but it's more believable.
Not really. John Lassiter wrote and directed the first two Pixar movies...and he's basically one of the co-founders of Pixar.
As far as getting the talent for the movie, being backed by Disney certainly helped, but it wasn't like Disney said "here, use these actors" or anything.
Yeah, but the thing is, I've been playing these types of games for YEARS since the original Wolfenstein. Why all of a sudden am I getting motion sickness with this game...while granted is wiz-bang and all, but it's not a dramatic departure from a 1st person shooter.
Then again, Wikepedia can also be vandalized in a flash too with false info. An article that doesn't see much traffic could itself become the target of a rage group such as myg0t who only likes to ruin other peoples time online. The errors they can put in could be very subtle, and some poor slob coming to the site to get a little info could be lead down the wrong path and not even know it. And, no one is held accountable for it at all...except the person accessing Wikipedia. Brittanica at least stands behind their info and has so for many many decades.
Not to mention the fact that Brittanica has their own online service that's only 9 bucks a month and has everything in the printed version online...AND they can change that in a flash too.
Anyone else getting motion sick from playing this?
I've played for about an hour and had to take a break because I was getting motion sickness for some strange reason.
And before anyone gets out their "Jump to Conclusions" mat, I've been playing CS:source for about a month and regular CS before that, played all through Doom3 and finished it, am on the WoW beta, just re-finished playing HL1 to get me back in the mood of the storyline...all without any problems.
I don't think they can. I mean, they might get away with it at the beginning...but time always catches up with them. It may take years, but in the end, they almost always get caught. There are plenty of slow, methodical crime investigators out there that will track them down. Plus, since Cisco is at the heart of this particular scam, don't you think they have a few people working for them that kinda-sorta know how to track things through the Net?
Of course, there's also the chance they could totally get away with it too...but not likely. Criminals always think they're smarter then the people after them, but they only have to make one mistake to kiss it all goodbye. Or just wait until the statute of limitations is up.
Hmmm...I'm not pushing a religion. Evolution is not a religion, at least not in the classical sense. In science, a theory is put forward based on observation, and it's tested...in this case tested with the fossil records...and revised as we learn more and gather further data. Creationism is based on writings by hebrew priests some three thousand years ago which have barely changed in that time (you'll find that the Torah(first 5 books of the Bible where Creationism explained) is well intact and in fact has been changed little when compared to the Dead Sea Scrolls...the New Testament is another story though). Also, I'm puzzled by your If you don't believe that both are religions, you are not a true scientist. Read what I just placed down on what scientific research involves.
We can't evolve a human from an ape in a lab, so let's throw the evolution theory out the window? Is this what you're saying?That's a wild leap there. So you're saying if you can't "see" something with your eyes it doesn't exist? So quantum physics should also just "move on" as you say?
Show me the data on Creationism. But first, we know the Earth is older than 10,000 years. We know we're not all decended from just two people. We know that not every animal on the planet could fit in one boat with the dimensions listed in the Bible. I could go on, but I won't.
It comes down to faith I suppose. I'm not trying to test your faith, I'm mearly stating that Evolution is not a religion being pushed on you. If you wish to follow this logic, then what would happen if a religious sect declared that the math we all use and know is all wrong and it's a religeon. Should we discount all math then because it's being "pushed" on us? Like the statement "1+1=5 where there are very large values of 1". Should this be taught to a first grader?

There ya go...

They're not Baretta or Starsky & Hutch.
No, you miss the point...they had this wiz bang computer program that doesn't exist the way it was shown on the show.

But that's the perfect solution! We fix the problem by eliminating humanity. Therefore, the roaches left won't be bothering anyone.
That's how government would probably fix a problem like this. Don't eliminate the problem, eliminate the ones complaining about the problem.

And before anyone gets out their "Jump to Conclusions" mat, I've been playing CS:source for about a month and regular CS before that, played all through Doom3 and finished it, am on the WoW beta, just re-finished playing HL1 to get me back in the mood of the storyline...all without any problems.
Perhaps it's just me...
wow....just....wow
I for one welcome our new shotgun carrying robotic overlords.
I don't think they can. I mean, they might get away with it at the beginning...but time always catches up with them. It may take years, but in the end, they almost always get caught. There are plenty of slow, methodical crime investigators out there that will track them down. Plus, since Cisco is at the heart of this particular scam, don't you think they have a few people working for them that kinda-sorta know how to track things through the Net?
Of course, there's also the chance they could totally get away with it too...but not likely. Criminals always think they're smarter then the people after them, but they only have to make one mistake to kiss it all goodbye. Or just wait until the statute of limitations is up.
Hmmm...I'm not pushing a religion. Evolution is not a religion, at least not in the classical sense. In science, a theory is put forward based on observation, and it's tested...in this case tested with the fossil records...and revised as we learn more and gather further data. Creationism is based on writings by hebrew priests some three thousand years ago which have barely changed in that time (you'll find that the Torah(first 5 books of the Bible where Creationism explained) is well intact and in fact has been changed little when compared to the Dead Sea Scrolls...the New Testament is another story though). Also, I'm puzzled by your If you don't believe that both are religions, you are not a true scientist. Read what I just placed down on what scientific research involves.
We can't evolve a human from an ape in a lab, so let's throw the evolution theory out the window? Is this what you're saying?That's a wild leap there. So you're saying if you can't "see" something with your eyes it doesn't exist? So quantum physics should also just "move on" as you say?
Show me the data on Creationism. But first, we know the Earth is older than 10,000 years. We know we're not all decended from just two people. We know that not every animal on the planet could fit in one boat with the dimensions listed in the Bible. I could go on, but I won't.
It comes down to faith I suppose. I'm not trying to test your faith, I'm mearly stating that Evolution is not a religion being pushed on you. If you wish to follow this logic, then what would happen if a religious sect declared that the math we all use and know is all wrong and it's a religeon. Should we discount all math then because it's being "pushed" on us? Like the statement "1+1=5 where there are very large values of 1". Should this be taught to a first grader?
