    The iMagnifying glass will be available for purchase from the Apple stor in 4Q 2004. It will have a retail cost of $99.95 which is mostly due to "Apple Engineering" costs. Sales are expected to be brisk despite that fact that a standard magnifying glass only costs $9.

    So two piss poor XBox ports run bad? OH NO!

    Here's a question. If your going to be playing games that where not built for the PC why not just get an XBox? Its like being upset that a Super Nintendo game wont run well on Windows via emulation.

    The quality of the takes is dependant on the skill of the director. If the only "good" take has problems that means the director is not doing his/her job. The director needs to direct, so as to get good takes.

    He says "CUT" the actors take their positions again, he fines the one that moved and they re-shoot it. You know, the stuff that directors do. Or are you saying that directors have no controll over what goes onto the film? That they just setup the camera and then a bunch of stuff happens?

    He should not get an Oscar. He's a realy bad director (just look at some of his other films). The director of photography, art department and actors should get one. In all the areas where a good director should have mattered teh LOR movies fail. Hell, cheep dutch porn has better consitancy then the LOR movies. Its like they didn't bother to hire a script supervisor.

    " [ Pause ] You?ve got pages and pages there. And those are all mistakes they?ve spotted?"

    Heh, they didn't even cover the good ones such as the archers without bows, the refilling quivers, the "dead" orcs that flinch when stepped on etc. Bottom line is that in my opinion Mr Jackson is not a very good director, its the actors, cinimatographer and art department that should be getting the credit for the LOR movies. They are good despite Peter Jackson and not because of him.
