Watched 'In Time' the other night. Cool concept, weirdly done, and the payoff was kinda boring. Also, Justin Timberlake did a bad role for once, Kieran Murphy didn't fit in the "25 forever" theme, Amanda Seyfried was cute as ever.... and then there's the problem with the actual 'draining time' thing. I mean, why on earth would they make clocks that take that long to drain?

I liked the movie well enough. I didn't care too much about the "moral win" ending, but the movie was alright. I didn't notice any of these points, though, I just thought Atom had a certain sense of awareness that kicked in at certain points. Sure, they could have gone further on it, and made him a proper AI, but then the movie would be going in a completely different direction than it did.

Also, Atom didn't snag Max, it's arm was lying like that all along, and Max simply fell onto it. At least that's how I saw it.

Yeah, that's beyond creepy.

As for panoramas, check out GIMP, and the Pandora plugin.

I'll have you know the picture was taken this summer, and right now it's whiter than FFFFFF out there. I'm loving the pre-alps style too. I guess you don't really appreciate your surroundings until you're either old, or coming back after being awol for years.

**And also, I guess I cheated, considering I stepped out of the carport to take the picture**

Let's not forget how mobile phones tend to be old models, yet extremely high-tech in films too. Able to film with perfect quality etc. I don't hear any complaints about that tongue

I love this movie. If only for the line "What do you mean you people?" I'm with Teague with the bit with the severed head and it's consistency with the rest of the film, but overall, I love it.

woo! 42, thanks to doc and Jimmy B.

I'll have to admit though, I had *some* help. I mean, I haven't even seen some films, and couldn't possibly understand the reference.

The most annoying now are the men with children, the book woman, the pirates, the italian/irish flag, the cars and the fiddles.

For a pixar trailer, that's pretty dissapointing. I mean, sure, I'll watch it, but I won't be all "OHMYGODTHISISGONABESOEPIC".

I used to hate Kill Bill, and for some reason thought that was the general opinion too. Then I listened to this, realised everybody loves it, and revisited the film.

Nedless to say, I'm now part of the masses. Once again.

I had a discussion with the gf yesterday about comic book movies, why they work/don't work, and Fantastic four was listed as one that doesn't.

I think the main problem with F4, Hulk, Thor and Green Lantern, is that the premise works as a comic book, where the story doesn't need to wrap within a set time frame, but can easily span over several years. A movie always needs to deal with the origin story, an obstacle, and a resolution.

F4 made no sense at all, unless you've read the comic book, hulk COULD work, but I don't see how, to be honest. Thor raped Norse mythology. As for Green Lantern... Well, that shit is just weird any way you look at it. A guardian of the universe that uses a ring that replicates any object in green glass-esque material? WTF.

Daredevil.

I hated the movie. I don't know whether or not it's the director, the story or Affleck... or even all of them, but it downright sucks.
So how to make it work? I think if they went a bit from the source material, and made the blindness occur somewhere in the second act, and have him deal with it, then maybe it could be done.

Lucas just has too much money.
