The source material in Sky Captain is mostly old movie serials from over 50 years ago, NOT SOME STUPID VIDEO GAME OR DISNEY CARTOON FROM THE LAST TEN YEARS!
Now if you were talking about the Fleischer Brothers' Superman Cartoon, MECHANICAL MONSTERS, from the '40s, then you'd be onto something.
all 260-some pages of it. It certainly has a plot, and a good one at that. I haven't seen the film yet, so it is indeed possible that the plot takes a back seat to the effects.
Don't be a knee-jerk and assume it has no plot.

The way I see it, a cell phone should work like a radio. Listen to music all day, get an incoming call and you don't have to juggle headphones. Like what you're hearing and you can download it permanently. Or browse an equvalent to iTunes. You already pay for calls, so the payment method is no great leap. There are two staus symbol devices that all college kids want, a cell and an iPod. Carrying both and using both is a pain. See you here in 2006.
I'm not joking. I'm forecasting a bit. Smaller storage that fits is a cell phone is on the way. iPods may be dedicated but they are not self-contained!!!!! They rely on an intemediate computer.
Mark my words...in 2 years we'll see the rise of the cell phone + audio player; no more iPod as we know it. Evolve or die.
And when some company comes out with the cell phone that doubles as an mp3 player (downloads songs as easily as ringtones), bye-bye iPod. Why carry two gadgets when one will do, and doesn't require a computer?
Apple has only Apple to blame for the fact that there aren't Macs on every shelf on every computer store in the country. A few different decisions 20 years ago would have made that happen.
20 years ago I saw my first Mac in a major department store. 20 years ago the biggest computer store chain was Radio Shack.
Yes I can remember seeing color TV in the late '60s, but it wasn't until the mid '70s when my family finally replaced our old black & white TV. A lot of people held off saying they'd wait "until color is perfected." In my memory, color didn't look reliably good until the '80s.

No, it didn't even have it's first showing of the completed version until July of this year.
Last year was when all the major studios were in a bidding war to get the distribution rights.
Would be it it was true, troll.

and they decided to cancel their movie which they were already working on.
Been that way since an episode of Columbo back in the '70s. "Can you zoom in on this section of the picture?" "Sure, lieutnant!"

That's basically my point. If they wanted to partake in M$-like tactics, they would have done it then. But they didn't. I don't think they will.
Apple jsut updated the iPod last Thursday. I'm guessing Micros$ft-style tricks aren't their solution.
And shouldn't it read "321 Studios have gone out of business?"

Seriously, it's a joke from the '70s. A bit on Saturday Night Live.
The irony is that kids today are much more likely to know The Beatles than Wings.
And it's all your fault!

Nobody besides every geek on this thread.
So poor bastids like me who have Comcast over regular not digital cable won't be able to watch it.
