    Insightful.

    Pete, this is 1995, here. We want our lame attempt at humor back.

  3. Re:MOD PARENT INSIGHTFUL on New Speed Record For Hybrid Cars · · Score: 2, Informative

  6. I was right! sorta on More on Apple/Motorola Joint Cell Phone Venture · · Score: 1
    In this thread I predicted it all

    Just didn't know that it was Apple who would do this.

    And that it would be this soon.

    Guess I win the bet. :-)

  7. Re:Oh, no on The Nonphotorealistic Camera · · Score: 1

    You just as well optimize these images in Freehand if necessary. It seems like a potentially great timesaver. YMMV.

    If you are talking strictly about overlays, I apoligize.

  8. Re:what about the Halloween masks statistics? on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1
    I thought this was Kerry http://www.davidgalbraith.org/images/kerry.gif

    Either way, it's a Halloween election. Are you voting for John SKERRY or George BOOOOsh?

  9. This is terrible censorship! I blame the liberals on Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America · · Score: 1

    I haven't read the article yet, but I just want to say that this is awful for the rest of the world to block the Bush web site! What terrible censorship! I was leaning toward Kerry, but now I'm going to vote for Bush out of protest!

  11. Like auto-completion, only better? on Statistics For Data Entry: The Brave New Step · · Score: 1

    I hope so, then I might actually use it! :D

  12. He's not directing Green Hornet on Star Wars TV Show · · Score: 1
  13. Re:Um on Star Wars TV Show · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the fact the Smith said he does not want to direct it anymore. he doesn't feel confident that he can direct an action movie. I seriously doubt he'll direct this show..

  14. Re:Reality Captain and the World of Box Office Bom on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    #1 and made as much as the other two new releases put together? I'd say it's a wash at best. The budget was far less than $70 milion, Paramount picked up distribution rights for probably half that, and the foreign territories have already been sold. Just by opening, it has made a profit.

    When I think of flop, I think of 3 million Gigli type numbers, not #1 at the freaking box office! OK, I was here and you were here.

    You didn't eat crow, and I didn't tell you that you were right.

  15. Not this time on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I've read the book and know that the trailers and TV ads aren't showing too much.

    A few of the online clips go a bit too far, but there's still much more.

  16. Re:Bring back plots!!! on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    It has a plot! If you've seen it, you'd know. I read the 260 page novelization, so I know.

    Other people are bringing it up. I'm setting the record straight.

    Sorry 'bout that, I didn't take my meds today.

  21. Re:THEFT! on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not true that this is now the main theme.
    From the FAQ on imdb http://imdb.com/title/tt0346156/board/nest/1150995 3?d=11510088#11510088
    1) Why is the STARGATE theme in the teaser trailer? Why did they steal the music from Stargate? Will this movie have an original soundtrack?

    Because the trailer editor thought it envoked the right mood, and the Paramount marketing people didn't say, no and it wasn't too expensive to license. Its been used in other trailers, and there are Star Gate Freaks all over the internet freaking out on this for some reason.

    The score is one of the last parts of a film to be developed. A teaser trailer usually has to be released well before the composer has been able to do much work, if any.

    Music from Stargate has been used in the following trailers:

    Dragonheart (1995) - Theatrical Trailer
    Independence Day (1996) - Theatrical Trailer
    Jumanji (1995) - Theatrical Trailer
    Lost in Space (1998) - Theatrical Trailer
    The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) - Theatrical Trailer
    Mighty Joe Young (1998) - Theatrical Trailer
    The Mummy (1999) - Theatrical Trailer
    Volcano (1997) - Theatrical Trailer
    Warriors of Virtue (1997) - Theatrical Trailer
    Waterworld (1995) - Theatrical Trailer
    Mission to Mars (2000) - TV Trailer
    Titan A.E. (2000) - TV Trailer
    Dungeons & Dragons (2000) - Theatrical Trailer
    Deep Rising (1998) - TV Trailer
    The Time Machine (2002) - Theatrical Trailer
    Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) - TV Trailer
    Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) - Teaser Trailer

    The music is from the original Stargate movie, and was adapted for Stargate SG-1.
    It also features music from "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within". (It's the music from Aki's dream sequence)

    They did not "steal" this music. It's called "licensing"
    The second trailer doesn't use the Stargate music.

    Yes, the movie will use original music composed by Ed Shearmur.
    It's getting rave reviews, and will be released Sept 7, 2004.

  24. Re:They finished it? Finally! on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Sky Captain was moved from June to September because Spiderman got pushed too close. Money that would have gone to overtime for the animators instead went to getting the job done better.

    Crimson Skies was in production when the makers took a tour of the World Of Tomorrow studio and decided to cancel the film.

    Harry Knowles is not the director, Conran is. Knowles is the financial backer/producer. http://imdb.com/title/tt0401729/fullcredits
