Hailed by The New York Times as "a fresh breeze of true inspiration," and "a breakthrough musical of the highest order" by The New York Observer, SPRING AWAKENING is a new musical about innocence, lost and found.

Based on the infamous 1891 Frank Wedekind play and featuring an original score by Grammy-nominated recording star Duncan Sheik, SPRING AWAKENING explodes on the stage and pours out over the audience like hormones raging through a sixteen year-old body. It is a story of uncontrollable emotions and undeniable passions, of first love and lasting regrets. But most remarkably, it is a musical that answers the questions teenagers have been asking forever. "STARTLINGLY INVENTIVE! With it's affecting score, thrilling choreography and magnetic young cast, SPRING AWAKENING ingeniously crosses and recrosses the boundaries of culture and time to explore what's changed -- and what hasn't -- on the path to carnal knowledge." -Peter Marks, The Washington Post

ingenious visualisation.

not sure if it would pass all the building codes, but ... ingenious just the same!

Calling it a Beta is ingenious I think, you'll never get blamed for anything it might do wrong. Coz it'a beta.

Just you wait guys, the next OS from Microsoft will be Alpha build...

Automata are really interesting, and the French took the art to new heights. From wikipedia:
A new attitude towards automata is to be found in Descartes when he suggested that the bodies of animals are nothing more than complex machines - the bones, muscles and organs could be replaced with cogs, pistons and cams. Thus mechanism became the standard to which Nature and the organism was compared. Seventeenth-century France was the birthplace of those ingenious mechanical toys that were to become prototypes for the engines of the industrial revolution. Thus, in 1649, when Louis XIV was still a child, an artisan named Camus designed for him a miniature coach, and horses complete with footmen, page and a lady within the coach; all these figures exhibited a perfect movement. According to P. Labat, General de Gennes constructed, in 1688, in addition to machines for gunnery and navigation, a peacock that walked and ate. The Jesuit Athanasius Kircher produced many automatons to create jesuit shows, including a statue which spoke and listened via a speaking tube, a perpetual motion machine, or a cat piano which would drive spikes into the tails of cats which yowled to specified pitches, although he is not known to have actually constructed the instrument. He also wrote an early description of the magic lantern, in Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae (1671).
The world's first successfully-built biomechanical automaton is considered to be The Flute Player, invented by the French engineer Jacques de Vaucanson in 1737. He also constructed a mechanical duck that could eat and defecate, seeming to endorse Cartesian ideas that animals are no more than machines of flesh.
In 1769, a chess-playing automaton called the Turk, created by Wolfgang von Kempelen, made the rounds of the courts of Europe, but in fact was a famous hoax, operated from inside by a hidden human operator.
Other Eighteenth Century automaton makers include the prolific Frenchman Pierre Jaquet-Droz (see Jaquet-Droz automata) and his contemporary Henri Maillardet. Maillardet, a Swiss mechanician, created an automaton capable of drawing four pictures and writing three poems. Maillardet's Automaton is now part of the collections at the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia.

They used some really ingenious tools for their Rube Golberg design. Their use of kidinunderwear toward the end was inspired.

Stellar, absolutely stellar.

The commentary is great - turns out this is the "special" version - "Hall of the Mountain King" wasn't the version they ran on TV, but it's so much better.

Two interesting comments from that slate article:

1.
"Side note: I was thinking about the fact that Monica Lewinsky's famous blue dress came from the Gap. That was back in the mid-1990s—rosier days for the company. Can you imagine a White House intern now—a well-off woman from Beverly Hills who considers herself fashion-forward—buying a dress from the Gap? I can't. Maybe Banana Republic. … It's just a sign of how badly things have gone for the brand: They can't even get world leaders to ejaculate on their clothes anymore."

2.
"Instead of running the "Dust" spot in just a couple of markets, and tying it exclusively to the remodeling effort, Gap should have used this ad as the centerpiece of a national campaign. Directed by Spike Jonze (the man behind Being John Malkovich and Adaptation), the spot is hilariously funny. I love the way it takes its time at first, allowing the petty transgressions to mount. Only after a woman snaps a hanger, with an explosion of plastic shards, does the camera zoom in frenetically and signal that all hell is about to break loose. From here, it's a wild romp, wonderfully executed.

The spot has been linked to all over the Web—evidence of how entertaining it is. And it would have been the perfect solution to the Gap's brand problem: Some self-deprecating humor, mixed with an ingenious visual metaphor. They wouldn't need to change a single word in that tag line. Alas, a spokesperson says they have no plans to run the spot in the future.

I just can't understand spending all that money on a big-name director, and a big-budget shoot, and then frittering the results away on such a limited purpose. Did Gap not see the possibilities? Were they too scared to go for broke? Or are they waiting on designs for some more appealing clothes before they brag about a new beginning? (I suppose they might not feel comfortable selling a revamped brand before they revamp the brand.)"

that is ingenious. so true. hold a mirror to their faces

ingenious

wow, this is just... wow. very good.
seems to me it has been influenced a bit by the movie(s) "cube", but still ingenious.

i´m deeply impressed. so simply made, yet so ingenious

"If every game had a weapon this ingenious, you'd see the boundaries between genres collapse."

The script for this clip was not only delivered in that half-moronic macho tone normally accompanying US movie trailers, it was also comically awful. Where did it come from?

And as deathcow said, the rocket launcher is quite possibly the most influential -- certainly the most widely used -- FPS weapon of all time. Where was it?

I especially enjoyed the ROF-Fighting and the ingenious death stroke!
