Re: [scifinoir2] 3-D movies scheduled to come out in 2010

I think that if 3d is to be "the next great thing" that it needs to be
pushed into the next level to make you say "Ooo! Ahhh! AWESOME!!!"

Re: [scifinoir2] New Dr. Who Premieres Saturday on BBC America!

[Mr. Worf]

Feels like after Torchwood's mini-series this season of Dr.Who feels tepid
at best. I'm not liking the doctor at all. He's a little too quick on the
trigger to be violent which isn't something that a 900 year old would do.
Maybe he needs to switch to decaf? :)

[scifinoir2] Re: New Dr. Who Premieres Saturday on BBC America!

[Kelwyn]

I am now two episodes behind (it IS NBA playoff season, after all - Go Bucks!) 
but I adored the "raggedy Doctor" subtext of the first episode.  The last shot 
of all the "Doctor" dolls the once and future companion had fashioned over the 
years was a lovely nod to Who fans (one of the dolls bore a striking 
resemblance to Tom Baker, the Doctor of my sane and sober youth).

true but I out of all these films only RE: Afterlife is the only film that

horrible Clash of the Titans.

Re: [scifinoir2] New Dr. Who Premieres Saturday on BBC America!

[Mike Street]

I liked the Queen also but I'm just not excited by any of these episodes.
Season's 1-4 where really good and now it's just a bit dull. I'm going back
to watch The 5 Doctors again and waiting for season 6.

 SYNOPSIS

 The Doctor has regenerated into a brand new man, but danger strikes
 before he can even recover. With the TARDIS wrecked, and the sonic
 screwdriver destroyed, the new Doctor has just twenty minutes to save the
 whole world - and only Amy Pond to help him.

Re: [scifinoir2] 3-D movies scheduled to come out in 2010

[Keith Johnson]

Actually, Cameron has said many times that "Avatar" was conceived of as a 3D 
movie. It was the lack of that tech--along with the motion capture tech and the 
ability to do realistic CGI--that delayed the movie by over a decade. He helped 
create new 3D technology with the WETA team, and spent a lot of time during 
production making sure the 3D glasses wouldn't hurt people's eyes. I think the 
irony is that, though he conceived of "Avatar" as a 3D film, to his mind that 
meant not making the 3D be too intrusive. He uses it to enhance the experience, 
and in a lot of ways I found it more powerful for just that reason.

I don't think that there has been any movies that have specifically been 
written for 3d format. Even Avatar just has a few shots that had extra 
"twinkles" in it in some parts and some wide shots. We probably won't see a 
true 3d movie until another year or two from now. If at all. 

I think the director of "The Science of Sleep" may be close to writing that 
way.

And the critical question is, how many of these films were conceived, written,

certainly not going to be worth the extra dough...

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: New Dr. Who Premieres Saturday on BBC America!

[Keith Johnson]

I just realized Queen Elizabeth X was played by Academy Award nominated Sophie 
Okonedo of "Hotel Rawanda". I thought she brought a lot of presence to a fairly 
small role. She's quite stunning. I'm still amazed at how a country where 
blacks don't have the clout or opportunities in acting they do here still seems 
to give them good roles so often. 

As for the balancing act, you're right. They seem to have changed the tone 
slightly. Everything from Smith to the writing to even the camera work is in 
ways a bit more lighthearted than Tennant's --and especially 
Eccleston's--tenures were. The pacing is faster, giving the show a breezy 
feeling. There are a lot more overtly comedic tones to the dialogue. Definitely 
less dark now. Maybe the producers felt it was time for a change?

Re: [scifinoir2] 3-D movies scheduled to come out in 2010

[Mr. Worf]

I don't think that there has been any movies that have specifically been
written for 3d format. Even Avatar just has a few shots that had extra
"twinkles" in it in some parts and some wide shots. We probably won't see a
true 3d movie until another year or two from now. If at all.

I think the director of "The Science of Sleep" may be close to writing that
way.

Re: [scifinoir2] 3-D movies scheduled to come out in 2010

[Keith Johnson]

And the critical question is, how many of these films were conceived, written, 
and filmed for 3D from the get-go? Even when they are, the overall effect may 
be iffy, but if they are converted in the middle of the process they're most 
certainly not going to be worth the extra dough...

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: 10 Incredibly Bada$$ Batman Comic Moments

[efhaynes]

I've had the Batman vs. Superman discussion with a friend of mine several 
times. My position is defended by #1 in that if you give Bruce time to prep for 
a fight, he will not lose. Period.

From a lifelong Batman fan.

One that could have made the list was him defeating Desaad by sheer will.

Thanks. I think the universe was telling me that I should look for another
job. That wasn't the first time that I almost bought the farm coming to and
from that job.

In another incident a woman pushed my car at 70 from behind. How do you not
see a car in front of you?

 Man I'm sorry to hear that.
 I people every day who simply aren't qualified to drive the SUV's and
 vans they own. You can tell they don't really know how to corner in the
 vehicles, as the higher center of gravity makes real control difficult over
 a car or light truck, they have no good concept of stopping distances at
 high speeds, often seem to be unaware of who's around them (meaning side-
 and rearview mirrors aren't set well). Many can't even seem to be able to
 park them between the white lines in parking lots.

 Many, many people in SUV's are dangerous as far as I'm concerned,
 because they never really become skilled drivers who work at understanding
 their vehicles. I've lost count of how many moms with kids, dudes on cell
 phones, etc., I see on the road of Atlanta in SUV's who get in typical
 traffic situations and over- or undercompensate, vehicles veering all over
 the place--obvious proof they don't really know how to handle them.
 Personally I think that SUV owners, and maybe some bigger truck and van
 owners, should be required to take additional driving lessons.

 She and a friend was driving while towing a trailer and rolled a SUV on

They are really loading up the schedule this year. Kind of interesting that
they don't have a summer blockbuster action movie in 3d. Unless you count
the last airbender.

[scifinoir2] Re: New Dr. Who Premieres Saturday on BBC America!

[Kelwyn]

I was prepared to hate the new Doctor - but I didn't.  I like the way they 
introduced him and his new companion.  I like the way he didn't know how to 
properly use his "stuff" at first.  

I also like the idea (an oldie but a goodie) about bad things living in that 
blind spot that you can only see out of the corner of your eye.

I got the opportunity to talk about the episode with a 57 year-old friend of 
mine (who is not an SF guy) when he told me he covered his wife's full length 
mirror with a blanket because he didn't like being freaked out every time he 
caught a glimpse of something in the mirror.

 Agreed. the idea of people with a HUD who already have trouble focusing

 It's not a good idea to have a bright augmentation of the road's edge.
 If you can't see that, it's a good signal that driving conditions aren't
 good enough.  And if the tech gets it wrong, the driver has two conflicting
 visual signals to follow.  That's not good.

That.

Is.

SUBVERSIVE.

 * ENGINEERS in the US are working on a spy drone that can fly virtually
silently into a city and perch vertically undetected on any wall for days. *

Called the "Perching Project", the technology behind the drone is being
developed at Stanford University.

A video released this week shows the team has had significant success in
getting a model plane travelling at 35km/h to automatically stall as it
senses a vertical surface, then cling onto it with tiny spines.

According to Stanford professor Mark Cutkosky and student Alexis Desbiens,
the technology could lead to "a flock of small, unmanned air vehicles (that)
flies quietly into a city, maneuvering among the buildings".

"They communicate as they search for places to land, not on streets or
rooftops but on the sides of buildings and under the eaves, where they can
cling, bat- or insect-like, in relative safety and obscurity," they wrote.

Undetected, the drones could cling to a wall for days, recording sound and
vision, while possibly recharging if necessary.

Using a small propellor, the drone can creep along a wall until it finds an
ideal position.

When it's ready to report back, the hooks disengege and the plane performs a
small jump backwards before righting itself and flying off.
