  1. Re:And now: My two cents... on How to Leave a Job on Good Terms? · · Score: 1

    I approve. I wish I had mod points.

  2. Fooling the producers. on World's Worst Dog'n'Pony Shows · · Score: 1

    I used to work at a games company. For prototypes our 3d artists would provide video mockups of gameplay and overall look and feel. Of course we displayed this video with a simple code wrapper with a few doo-dads to punch it up. Publishers always thought we were using a great real-time 3d engine. Eventually we would deliver a game with all pre-rendered images/video or a real-time 3d game with a MUCH lower polygon count. That was always a difficult D&P show. I just worked there. I'm not the one going to hell.

  4. What were they thinking? on Review: Planet of the Apes · · Score: 1

    This movie was bad. I'm sure it cost tens of millions of dollars to make. What were they thinking? Were they trying to make a campy comedy or a serious science fiction movie? I think they tried to do both. Plot holes, bad acting, poor script, implausible ending. With a little work they could have done much better. I guess it was easier to make this bad movie then to put the effort into making it good. On the other hand my brother loved it. After 5 minutes he decided to turn his brain off and enjoy it for the popcorn movie it was.
