There is NO WAY this movie is going to be a worthy continuation or even a semi-accurate movie version of one of my favourite anime series of all time. NO FUCKING WAY. They just cannot do it, Hollywood just cannot make that kind of movie. Cowboy Bebop is deeply nihilistic in a way Hollywood just does not understand. I have nothing against Keanu Reeves but there is no way he can possibly even comprehend the character of Spike. No-one like him can. I am sorry but happy dumb Americans living in sun-drenched California just cannot understand this kind of emotion. They don't even know what to shoot for.
Sunrise Inc., which produces the anime series, will be closely involved with the development of the English-language project. Sunrise's Kenji Uchida and Shinichiro Watanabe will serve as associate producers alongside series writer Keiko Nobumoto. Series producer Masahiko Minami will serve as a production consultant.
Now... If they only get Yoko Kanno to do the music... it could actually be quite good. Not like the original. But not Star Wars prequels either. Or Dragonball. *shudder*
Bale would probably do a great Spike Spiegel. Bale would probably be great as Bugs Bunny from all we know.
But, baring cloning, we can't have Christian Bale in EVERY role. Science - why do you fail us every time we need you the most?:(
Then again... I can really see Keanu as Spike. Come on... He is tall, thin, does not talk much and we are used to see him do kung-fu and just plain stand there being cool.
Who else (besides Bale) should we get? Johny Depp? Brad Pitt? George Clooney? Tom Cruise? Steven Seagal?
We could fare a LOT worse than our favorite surfer dude. Imagine it slated a few more years until all of the above actors are too old and/or too busy - but Shia LaBeouf is just the right age, and finished with second Indiana Jones trilogy and Transformers 3? See what I mean? He is PERRRRFECT for the role. Got his very own natural Spike hairstyle. Spike and Julia? Who knows...
Did you even bother to watch Cowboy Bebop? Or did you just read about it on Wikipedia? Just because the main character claims that he was dead once already - that does not mean that there is room for goth necrophilia. Nor is the main character acting like a drunk/mad scientist on drugs.
Which covers about the entire depth of Depp's acting.
Bale on the other hand DOES act like more than one (or three) character in his movies.
Jeeeez... In what kind of a backwater-hillbilly-hicktown do you live and work if "takin pichers de-je-telly" is considered cool?
Does your modem come with a cradle for your telephone handset? Do you have to "crank-up" your telephone before going online? Is the monitor you are reading this on black and white?
I mean... come on. I can understand going old-tech as a part of "geek pride"-thing, but there ARE limits.
If you shoot 10 people, but only kill 2 out of those 10, did you really only kill 1 out of 5? Or if you ask out 10 girls on a date, but end up having sex with 2 - would that be 4 dates you paid for dinner and a movie and just got a peck on the cheek in return or 8?
You can't always reduce fractions if the size of the subset and superset are statistically of importance too.
There will be plenty of ice cream. Only soylent green flavor, but hey...
On a downside, we will only be allowed to listen to Vanilla Ice, Ice Cube and Ice-T, and all movies will have a heroic fridge scene added to them. George Lucas once again showed us how fucking brilliant a visionary he is.
If that were true, then everyone working on Britannica would not be able to cite it as a source - cause they can edit it. Also, authors would not be able to cite their own books - cause they can edit them.
If you have a problem with something written on Wikipedia - you can always play the protester and demand citation. Or, you can take it as a reference and not something God himself etched in blue sapphire stone with his own fiery fingernail.
Wikipedia has a system. It (mostly) works. Don't thrust it any more than you would thrust any text written by a person you never even saw in real life and you should be fine.
As far as I can make out, they used it to condition and test their young... in much the same way as we once employed finger-painting among our kindergarten children. I often play with it myself for relaxation although working here, I sometimes wish I'd been blessed with multiple arms and legs.
Now, you can see that this headset was designed for something much bulkier than my human cranium. Now, over here you see the electromagnetic waves of my brain sending that indicator up about halfway. I gather that one of their own young, comparable to a seven-year-old child was normally expected to send that all the way to the top which by Krell standards classifies me as a low-grade moron. Yet I have an officially recorded IQ of 183.
At the start of the take-off roll the vehicle weighs 275 tonnes, whilst maximum landing weight is 55 tonnes. At take-off the vehicle carries approximately 66 tonnes of liquid hydrogen and approximately 150 tonnes of liquid oxygen for the ascent. . . . Payload Capabilities
The Sklyon payload bay is 4.6m diameter and 12.3m long. It has been designed to be compatible with expendable launcher payloads but in addition to accept standard aero transport containers which are 8 foot square in cross section and 10, 20, 30 or 40 feet long. It is anticipated that cargo containerisation will be an important step forward in space transport operations, enabling the "clean" payload bay to be dispensed with.
The vehicle can deliver 12 tonnes to a 300km equatorial orbit, 10.5 tonnes to a 460km equatorial spacestation or 9.5 tonnes to a 460km x 28.5 deg spacestation when operating from an equatorial site.
Take it easy kid. You sound ridiculous getting wind up about particular way of playing games. Actually, you sound like you are 15 and sexually frustrated.
First - learn the difference between "can" and "have to". For example... CAN you play every game that ever came out for 360 without hardware upgrades? Do you HAVE TO upgrade your 360 in order to run (not play - run) the latest 360 games?
There were always patches on a PC, on consoles it is a recent "bonus". Still, in general, console games tend to "just work". PC hasn't had a "just working" game since they realized that they can have more than just the.exe file.
PC gaming isn't anymore expensive than the consoles when they're brand new, and when they're brand new, they tend to have more features than their second and third generation counter parts (and so on).
I have no idea what in the hell you are trying to say here.
PC gaming on a brand new PC isn't more expensive than on a brand new console? Also... consoles tend to be stripped down in the later editions?
Ouukay... PS3 launched at $499 and $599. XBox launched at $399 and $299 (Core). Wii launched at $249.99.
Now... I dare you. I double and triple dare you... I double and triple dare you and call you a sissy. I double and triple dare you, call you a sissy and I am making claims about your mother's weight... Assemble a "gaming PC" for ANY of those prices. Without a monitor. Let us for a moment live in an imaginary world where people play HD console games on old 15" TVs. And since it would be unfair to ask for you to run anything new on such a PC a year later I'll give you even more rope to hang yourself with.
Take the higher price of each console, add 'em up together, and assemble a gaming PC that will run the newest game TODAY on full details and effects. And since I am a bastard - I want it to run the latest game on full details and effects a year from now.
Naturally... we are talking about GAMES games. Not your mom's solitaire or flash games, or some poor freeware game. We are talking about those titles that get the TV commercials and front page reviews in PC and gaming magazines.
The only thing you might have is gameplay, but that's only because certain types of games don't work to well with mouse + keyboard combo, but gamepads have existed forever to negate that.
So tell us, when was the last time you played on a console? And what Console? Furthermore, when's the last time you did PC gaming? You seem to lack some knowledge on both fronts.
Excuse me? Which game is that? The one that does not work with 100+ key controller and an additional 2+ keyed pointer device?
As for my gaming experience... Some light Xbox 360 - DMC 4. PS2 and PS3. Mostly multiplayer, various Tekkens, Soulcaliburs, soccers, Guitar Heroes, N4Ss etc. PC... HLs and Portal (re-played), BF2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., F3. Also, gave up on the Oblivion somewhere in between those.
Console gaming will never be more advanced then computer gaming and it shouldnt be.
Console gaming IS more advanced then computer gaming for the sheer ability to just plain work as advertised.
How many console games require a new graphic card, new processor, more memory, DirectX/drivers updates or OS upgrades?
You plug it in, turn it on, drop in the CD/DVD/cartridge and it works. No half hour installations, needles restarts, patches that take several hours to download and install...
For actual gameplay - consoles have been kicking PC's ass for years now. But, if you find fiddling around your PC, spending insane amounts of money on hardware upgrades and kicking it once in a while JUST SO YOU COULD PLAY A GAME a part of the experience - well good luck with that.
Only game niches where PC still keeps the crowd entertained with greater efficiency are RTS, FPS and MMORPG games. For an idiotic reason that console makers refuse to allow onto their consoles games that require plugging in a mouse into their consoles AND comparatively high price for multiplayer gaming. The second reason being that you need the console+game+online/network access&support+TV screen for each player. And while each member of the household can validate the need for a personal computer - it is not so with a personal TV and gaming console. So there tends to be more PCs per household member than consoles, which gives multiplayer gaming on a PC a lower minimum requirement threshold. Hopefully, with new console's ability to go online something will also move up from the lower regions of the body to the heads of console and console games makers and we will finally enter the era of games that you can JUST PLAY.
Not install, service, update, patch and set up more than you actually play the game.
In December 2008, SCE confirmed that they intend to support stereoscopic 3D games and Blu-ray movies in 2009.[186] This functionality will be introduced to the PlayStation 3 via a firmware update making the first and only games console capable of generating high definition 3D images.[187] This technology was first demonstrated publicly on the PS3 in January 2009 at the Consumer Electronics Show. Journalists were shown Wipeout HD and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue in 3D as a demonstration of how the technology might work if it is implemented in the future.
As for refresh rate and glasses... HD does not go over 60Hz at the moment. And that only with 720p and 1080i. And while 120Hz TVs are relatively new - 100Hz TVs have been around for a decade or more. So, unless your TV's remote comes with a cord - there are pretty good chances it has a rather comfortable refresh rate.
Which is actually - irrelevant.
Those "no shutter job or anything" glasses are actually circularly polarized glasses. In fact, if you look closely at the photo in the original article you can make out the Real D logo on the glasses.
Circularly polarized glasses
To present a stereoscopic motion picture, two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen through circular polarizing filters of opposite handedness. The viewer wears low-cost eyeglasses which contain a pair of analyzing filters (circular polarizers mounted in reverse) of opposite handedness. Light that is left-circularly polarized is extinguished by the right-handed analyzer; while right-circularly polarized light is extinguished by the left-handed analyzer. The result is similar to that of steroscopic viewing using linearly polarized glasses; except the viewer can tilt his head and still maintain left/right separation.
Real D Cinema System (used recently with the sterescopic Disney movie, "Chicken Little 3D") uses electronically driven circular polarizers that alternate between left- and right- handedness, and does so in sync with the left or right image being displayed by the (digital) movie projector.
So, refresh rate - irrelevant. If it works in 2-D it will work in 3-D.
So, that "massively higher cost" you are talking about comes down to $1.95 for the glasses while that "lower image quality" does not even exist - since it is the case of only displaying a "doubled" image as can very well be seen in the photo in the article.
Unless you refuse to fork over those 2$ cause it is an outrageous case of bait and switch making the consumer spend extra on hardware just so he/she/it could play the game.
One of the arguments that Apple has given was that making the battery non-removable gave the iPhone longer life.
Very much a bullshit answer from Apple.
Only ways it could be so is if: a) they sacrificed easy replacement by making the battery a non-standard shape in order to maximize battery size. b) they made iPhones and iPods hermetically sealed to minimize the foreign influence to the delicate battery technology based on a rare Amazon breed of electric butterflies who generate static electricity by flapping their tiny wings. Hence - the name for the battery from the deformed buttery, which was the name Benjamin Franklin had for some of the early Leyden jars in which he kept his butterflies when he accidentally discovered that they can be used to power his iPod.
FYI - both iPod and iPhone batteries come in the very rare and controversial shape of a rectangular block. And there are no butterflies inside. Not even the very tiny ones.
