It's interesting that the explanation mentions that all the photos were taken over the space of EXACTLY one year and then left in the back of a taxi. Perhaps it was kind of a "message in a bottle" sorta thing. Think about it - surely if the real owner had a digital camera, he would have taken more than 227 photos and at least would have deleted the older ones. Just a thought...
2001 should be re-cut so insted of having the ape throwing a bone into the air, it should throw a donught...It would be much more apt... Hey! George Lucas could do it too!
Now see, I can tell simply by the names of these probes that they will fail. By giving them these "uplifting" or "inspirational" (eg: spirit) names they are jinxing themselves. Therefore I suggest that the next probes are named things like: "dismal faliure" or "flaming wreck"...
When quizzed about the over-all crappiness of Revolutions all the Wachowski's had to say was "But we haven't finnished the training program!"... so the audience laughed in their faces.
You should be careful when saying stuff like that. I dug up an 80's electronics magazing selling computers with "16k of RAM - All the RAM you'll ever need!"
A nice touch with spirited away was the use of 3D in some scenes - something we rarely get in Anime. This was the best 3d/2d mixing I've ever seen. Some companies *coughdisneycough* go over-board with the 3d in their 2d animated movies, but it just looks crap because it looks 3d. Like the latest one from disney... can't even think of it's name... but anyway Spirited Away used it only sparingly but did it flawlessly. Just brilliant.
I think that the academy may be "saving" andy serkis's performance nom for next year. I would hazard a guess that most of the academy know that Gollum has a big role in the Return of the King. Indeed it wouldn't supprise me to see Sean austin nominated as well next year. RotK isn't going to win any special effects - that's going to belong to the matrix movies judging from what i've seen so far (even though they are sequels) and the voters will be wanting to give RotK at least a few nominations.
The site has been around for at least a year. the movie's been in pre-production for quite a while. one version of the script has already been written and apparently what has been done is top quality. The characters have been given a bit more depth than those clarke created, but from what I understand the movie is just based on the first book. It makes sense because if it's successful they can still make a sequel and if it's a flop, it still has a good ending. Some good information and links can be found at "Gregs previews" at yahoo movies.

Right now, we are one asteroid impact away from extinction. The ISS is a very important step to ensuring that man-kind can survive a disaster like that.
I'm just imagining the crew of the ISS watching the earth being destroyed below them and then turning to the nearest female crew-member and saying "Do you think we could ever be more than friends? For the survival of the human-race, of-course..."

The public understandably asks how this will be paid for...
Umm... use the budget set aside for the next James Cameron movie?
Woob woob woob!
Perhaps Gordon should visit ThinkGeek...?

"...they know we can defend ourselves just fine."
Er... I take it we're not talking about defending ourselves in the REAL world, right?

If the Xbox next has a PPC chip(s) does this mean that porting games to the Mac platform will be easier/cheaper/more common?

Sorry, dude, just a wise-crack.
According to my calculations, having 9 AMD's running in that small room would bake the "pilot" in his own juices...
Of course if you don't play for a month you'll finally get back on and check your messages:
~ You have 15 min. to move your car.
~ Your car has been impounded.
~ Your car has been crushed into a cube.
~ You have 15min. to move your cube.
You should be careful when saying stuff like that. I dug up an 80's electronics magazing selling computers with "16k of RAM - All the RAM you'll ever need!"

ThinkGeek will be closed any day now for funding/supplying terrorists!

So yeah... that's my story.
