If you have not yet tried Gizo, (from Drinks that Work,) you have not had a good energy drink. First off it will get you going for a full day, night and most of the next day without giving you the jitters. Secondly it's a non-carbonated little shot, so you don't have to drink soda all day to cut the soda's own after taste. all this in a little 4 oz. shooter. Beats the ---- out of any of those little redbull things and even Jolt. (I realize that saying that will probably get me in trouble here, but I do believe it's true.)
a word of warning though, do not use with ANY other caffiene source! trust me.
P.S. if you find it, it comes in more than one flavor, the one in the orange bottle is the energy drink, they have another in a green (kava) bottle that will bring you back down too. (go ask alice etc.) and there is a blue one (cola) and a beige (coffee) one which I don't personally like the taste of.
P.P.S the orange one is actually cranberry flavored, not orange. knowing this makes a big difference.
very like the movie,
pain that the game doesn't end when you die and you have to wait for the computer controlled characters to die, but it is multiplayer and a great dupe of the movie.
If you like AB's show, but sometimes it doesn't go far enough into the actual science, let me recommend (if no one else has,) Harold McGee's "On Food and Cooking," as the single greatest source of how food works. While not as pleasantly silly as AB, and definitely coming under the heading of a "Tome" it's still a great read...
it details some of the penalties being threatened by the BSA down south. Apparently some of the BSA's advertising is using the thought of prison rape as deterrent.
how can they possibly know if you're not guilty if you don't have a receipt?
ummm, no, it says that it *is* 70mm, there just happen to be a wide variety of 70mm standards, there's;
academy, which is like 35mm just 4 times as big,
widescreen, (the 5 perf version they mention, similar to techniscope which is 3 perf 35mm. Created as a way to save money on film, turned out to be strangely unpopular considering that the normal way to get widescreen[not counting panavision,] is to just put a metal slide in the projector to cut the top and bottom off*)
vistavision, 70mm run sideways, the basis for all IMAX gear, and the original ILM optical printers
there's a panavision squish lens around for the academy format too, (hollywood does love overkill)
VistaVision is the one that has all the history, as all the equipment suddenly jumped astronomically in price in 1977-78, (you may draw your own conclusions.)
The first VV movie I saw was "White Christmas" (Bing Crosby et al.) I just remember feeling really weird as I watched the movie and realizing about 10 minutes in that it was becasue the scratches on the film were running sideways.
If you want to be really picky about it, 70mm is really only a print stock, as the film is generally shot on 65 mm and then printed onto 70 leaving 5mm for the soundtrack.
regarding the length of the IMAX being limited to 1hr or less, there was a documentary about it years ago where one of the producers claimed that they were short because the experience was so intense that it seemed longer. Personally, I think this is just an excuse.
------------ *this is the reason why a lot of video versions of movies have so many instances of the microphone intruding into the frame. it was supposed to be behind the metal screen, but the transfer was done full frame rather than pan n scan.
curiously I worked for a company recently where all the programmers were "recommended" into reading one of these microsoft coding guides. ("writing solid code" I think it was.)

Good to know, but the real question is
"how does one pronounce, 'Li18nux'?"
they want to save us from, how could they not come leaping to save us?

sorry, my mistake, I was up too late, and the coffee machine is gone.
VistaVision (of white christmas and ILM fame) is 8 perf 35mm running sideways, not 70
Imax is the same principle, but their own cameras

Of course, depending on how you look at it it could just mean that it came too late.
curiously I worked for a company recently where all the programmers were "recommended" into reading one of these microsoft coding guides. ("writing solid code" I think it was.)
Oddly the company went under shortly afterwards.
This, of course, may only be a coincidence
