NOLD is in public domain however the actual print is being licensed via Stars to Netflix, meaning Starz bought a remastered or original print and added it to its distribution line. This is normally what happens when something stays relatively popular, passes into PD, but has very few high quality transfers. This is…

I dunno; was Crysis filled with dull, unimaginative characters that would have a hard time competing for a date with a piece of painted cardboard? I hate to be the guy harping on story quality but this new game isn't worth the load screens or the multiple times I am desperately trying to get through lengthy talk…

Nope. Wanted to get off of this rock at an ample time.

I made a New Years resolution to start smoking. True story.

A little fun fact. Kubrick's SFX team used overhead projectors to achieve the effect of the "tablets" displaying information.

I'd hope this post is dipped in sarcasm but my faith in basic human intelligence is pretty shaken today.

+1, no no no +3. At least.

*since my original post was deleted for some reason I'll try again as I have a fair recollection of what I said*

Pretty lackluster explanation if you ask me, not really diving into the oracle-like powers of the scrolls or even their historical context within the games, the fact they cannot be read by normal "folk" or that their guidance has been critical within the ES universe, or even their existence being a decent shout out to…

They are but I'd disagree they felt like the original films. It seemed to me they were more like an expansion on the universe than anything else. That being said I own just about all of them in either single issue or TPB and hope they decide to do more in the same sense of artistic adventure.

Alien has had a great run over the years in a number of different hands in comic form. The original Dark Horse series is a little dull and tries to incorporate too much from the films in the narrative however the follow ups were always very cool. Highlights being Killian Plunkett's Labyrinth and the completely unknown…

Sort of but more. By the laws definition a "shotgun" is a smooth bore (no rifling, although many models do have it) firearm over 3 feet in length that is capable of firing shot, pellets, or slugs. That being said arms manufacturers have often viewed this style of weapon more as a "delivery system" than a legal…

Yes. Mr. Refn has a beautiful style and an excellent sense of pacing.

I personally was offended at Hello Nasty on many levels, it just felt like the entire album was pandering to someone who obviously wasn't me. I'll check out the newer stuff but from what little I've sampled I remain unimpressed.

My point in so many words is that they released the second best album of the 90's (OK Computer being first IMO) and never followed up with any substantial material afterward. I shouldn't be so snarky that it is a mark against their character but IC is such a dope album, I'd settle for another one that's nearly the…

Following up one of the best albums of all time (ill communication) with a well publicized series of pop induced trash will kill anyone who had any semblance of a name. I am and have always have been happy with the cut-throat anticipations of the so-called "music elitist" crowd.

RED photographs in an enormous scale (150dpi, scale-wise to your typical movie screen, which varies but normally not more than thirty feet wide) so taking the type of resolution needed to accomplish the old "scan and enhance" trick is already available. That being said as I thought about my response I must make one…

RED is a relatively inexpensive (about $7000 for the body, no glass) digital shooting platform that has become popular with higher level filmmakers. Very few film sets these days do not have these on hand because they have a really powerful sensor that is great in low light, plus the cost of destroying one isn't…

I disagree with the whole "can't up-rez" argument about now. RED can shoot the wings off a fly at 50 yards (no crap) so this particular bit of sci-fi has in fact become a reality. Of course not to anyone running a body under 10 grand but it is still tangible.

But that wasn't my basic point which is that a Blackberry (by Lazaridis's idea) is meant to be a "strictly business" platform where superficial features aren't included and base functionality is king. Namely streamlining data usage and battery life. Everything you mention can easily be incorporated into a Palm OS if…
