Perfect choice for April Fool's Day. This movie sucked harder and dressed whore-ier than Mae West.

Fuck this movie just based on its aesthetics, I cannot stand those costume and makeup choices. I don't care if its there for a reason, get it off my screen.

soooooo...  Teague was bored yesterday, or... whatever day he put together all those pages... I half expected to see a RickRolled video in there somewhere... 

Since it's April Fools, I decided to derail the thread:  Two questions: 1.) Do you prefer using reference images when you model in Lightwave, or an 3D modeling app for that matter, or not? 2.)  What do you call a Baby born on April 1st?

Switch, depends on what I'm modelling. If its something really technical or needs to really accurate (faces are like that for me most of the time) I'll use a bg image. But if it's something that can be a little more freeform then I won't bother.

Well Blender is the one I've been using the longest, so feel free to throw questions at me.

Re: the Surrogates April Fool's gag — I thought it was hysterically funny. My girlfriend was sitting on the couch with me at the time I accessed the site. When it came to the part where Teague popped on the screen, laughing maniacally, my girlfriend looked over and blithely said, "Yeah, some of those people on YouTube are just plain psychotic..."

I'M THE QUEEN.

I WNATED THIS MOVIE WOULD BE ABOUT HUNGARY HUNGARY HIPPOS.

The outlying districts didn't have the resources that 1 and 2 had, which is why those kids were so well-trained. And because those kids almost always won, those districts continued to have access to superior resources.

Because superior resources are needed to give people basic survival and fighting skills? History teaches us that hard environments breed hard people, and there's little harder than having to scrape a living off the land and hunt down your food with your own hands using rudimentary tools. That Katniss is essentially a master archer despite living only proves how irresponsible most of the districts are when it comes to their own children as her abject poverty is irrelevant.

Maybe the book justifies it better.

I'm saying training teens for the Hunger Games would make a great way to train the next generation of revolutionaries, to the point where a more fleshed out story might in fact have said it was illegal for anyone to train for them.

Do untrained children fighting each other make good television? Nothing about The Hunger Games makes any goddamn sense.

Just watch The Running Man again. That movie made all the same points, better, 20 years earlier, with dancers in spandex, Richard Dawson in place of Stanley Tucci doing Liberace in drag, and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Conchita Alonzo in place of two talentless, white-bread-dough-faced Kentucky hicks.

Every time I see Jennifer Lawrence trying to smile for a camera, I just want to slap the Barbie-doll stare off her face. Seriously, those eyes are deader than Charo's lounge act. Your whole face has to be involved in the smile, honey, not just your lips.
