    So much this. I was a bit pensive with Win7, but seeing the taskbar and quicklaunch integrated made it soooo slick... like what OSX has had since FOREVER... changed the theme to 2K and went full performance rather than choke my laptop up with pretties (I want my databases to respond YESTERDAY). I have a Beryl desktop on a Linux VM which is what I have going when I'm not doing the ironing with the machine. Kicks arse out of Aero.

    oh, claim to fame: the short-lived reboot of the ITV soap "Crossroads" had some scenes shot in my old apartment (Willoughby Court, Lenton, which is no longer there having been demolished).

    location location location. If you want a built-up ruin, there's that beach resort Hitler had built to house workers on holiday that wasn't occupied for what, forty years? Most of it's still empty. You could basically walk in and shoot a movie in there. If you don't fancy a trip to Germany, there's wilderness locations everywhere. Seven miles up the road from me there's an abandoned railway station, and right next to that there's a spot where it's so quiet you can hear your own heartbeat. The 2006 Shane Meadows movie "This Is England", set in 1983, was filmed in Lenton, Nottingham, among other places - with no set dressing and no CGI. I know this because I saw them filming it. All they did was put up a windbreak and a video camera, that was it. You don't even have to be in the place your movie is set in. All of the outside scenes in Doctor Who which were *apparently* set in London were in fact filmed in and around Cardiff.

    I could make a sci-fi movie without having to resort to computer generated visual effects.

  17. no, ID:R really did suck on Pixels Are Driving Out Reality (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    SPOILER ALERT: they beat the aliens again with impossible technological crossover and obscene luck. Really, it was ID4 again only this time they fixed the tidal influence issue (and made a major plot point out of it yet STILL managed to fuck it up), stretched the suspension of disbelief thing WAY too far by trying to have us believe that surviving aliens built a twenty mile wide, five high structure out in the middle of the desert and in twenty years NOBODY spotted it... there's so much wrong with the movie, not least the terrible acting, you could run a thirty minute Youtube video and probably gross more.
