Thor - First trailer

budzos says...

Crowd involvement is not the point of the cinematic experience. Sure, appropriate crowd reaction can enhance a good movie. But bad crowd behaviour can turn any movie into a pressure cooker of rage for me.

Movement of feet is the most annoying thing to me lately. Not just kicking my seat, but people putting their feet up in your field of view and then kicking/wiggling them around for the whole GD movie. I might be wired a bit differently, I know my memory's a bit more visual than most people... Let's just say my memory of the last Indiana Jones movie, and that movie Knowing from last year, among others, are permanently etched with an overlay of dumb-ass feet kicking around. At Crystal Skull some guy with like size 14 feet had just bought brand new bright white sneakers. He kicked his fucking foot so frenetically, and with a varying rhythmn that I just COULD NOT ignore out of the corner of my eye. When I asked him to stop he just said "what the fuck" and continued. So I spent the second half of that movie weighing the costs and benefits of an aggravated assault charge. Not enjoyable!

People at the theater are fun! That's the point of the experience. Cheering, screaming at the scary scenes, laughing, awws and maybe a little crying by someone off in the the far corner of the theater. Oh man, I love that stuff. I used to think I hated humanity, but I fucking love it and all because of theaters. Little babies GET THE FUCK OUT. I will have your mother escorted out by a theater worker because I give a shit about this experience. I will see it in 3D and pretend I'm a kid in the 1950s and that I didn't just spend 15 bucks on a movie ticket. Silver fucking lining and just good ol fun, alright?

Most incredible character creation EVER - EVE Online

Simply THE most realistic CGI I've EVER seen!

spoco2 says...

He hasn't shown it for this video yet, but here and here are his making of videos for this and this (first really just an extract of the second, longer video).

You put the right textures, the right lighting, the right lens effects, bloom, translucency etc. etc. and yeah, you can do this.

Well, when I say 'you', I certainly wouldn't include 'me'... I remember making some 3D renders back when I was a kid and thinking they were just awesome, but they look like kiddy drawings now. (well I'm sure they would, lost the images a long time ago)

Where's the proof that it's CGI? The posters word?
Give me wireframe overlay or side by side, otherwise "didn't happen".
If it truly is CGI, then we've come along way... that is until you try to do CGI with living creatures, and motion, then most of the time it looks like shit.

Although it does look realistic , the Technological side of this is not that amazing (in the sense that technalogcaly speaking you can and have been able to render stuff to this degree for at least 17 months even 2 years. for example you can get this quality of render using Vray with 3ds max.

the talent is in how an artist uses the tools to make something look realistic with the tools at hand.

there are 19th century paintings that look pretty photo real.

one of the central resions as to why this looks real is that the majority of it is macro shots , macro camera angles and views are not something we see and exsperance on an every day level and look quite abstract , and thus its harder for sum-one to pick up how fake something looks. ( macro photographs and films often look cg even when they are not ,

A perfect example but in the opposite sense would be how Tilt shift photography makes things looks like plastic models.


all in all nice shots though regardless of how real it looks its just a nicely composed peace of footage.

Three men have beat Sasuke: the original guy, Nagano Makoto, and the shoe salesman.

Announcers never cheer on the American version of the show. This lady has won several times but I can't remember if a lady has ever won in the mens competition.


lol. not even the men win the men's competition. In fact, in all history of the show only two won.>> ^lucky760:

It's worth mentioning that this is not the same Ninja Warrior tournament that only 3 men have completed, Sasuke, but the women's version, Kunoichi.
Even more worth mentioning is that not only did Ayako Miyake beat Kunoichi her first time out, but she won three tournaments in a row. Impressive.


Only two ever won SASUKE. Also, KUNOICHI is kind of a joke. For comparison, the third stage of SASUKE (the men's competition) has no time limit; that's just how difficult it is. And after that you have the final stage, with a rope twice as long as the women's pole. IMO, they could just have the women do SASUKE with less of the upper arm endurance (replace it with full body endurance or leg endurance) and add time to the time limit on the first, second and final stages. The fact that such a scrawny girl, an acrobat at that, won shows it takes more balance/coordination/lightness than muscle/endurance/speed to win KUNOICHI, so the girls who train with SASUKE in mind are disadvantaged (especially, they can't have enough muscle and endurance to beat SASUKE, but they have too much to beat KUNOICHI which requires a lighter, more "balanced" - in every sense - body).

Also, the English commentator is piss-poor. It's even more infuriating than the Japanese guy who keeps screaming like she's winning the first freaking gold medal of History. At least the Japanese guy does it consistently in a crescendo and not only when he thinks there's "action" happening in a weird counterpoint or worse, whispering for no reason since she CAN'T BLOODY HEAR HIM. The Japanese guy comments live and doesn't whisper, why the hell would he do that. He should be imprisoned for noise pollution over the airwaves. Also, get rid of the ridiculous overlays, it's distracting.

I love the happy music overlayed on top of the description of his divorce, bankruptcy, and death of throat cancer. Something is funny about that especially combined with the bad english (futurely?)

Starcraft 2 - Idiot Maphacks - Forgets SC2 Record Feature

Jinx says...

Sadly he'll probably buy another account and do the same thing...

I'm not surprised this maphack exists. Its really impossible to stop, too much demand for them and too many scripties willing to supply for the right money. Quite fortunate the replay system can pick up on hacks like that so easily. This guy was pretty blatently hacking, others will do a better job of hiding it but it only takes one guy to check a replay and put it on youtube...I guess some things are going to be harder to spot though. If its possible to map hack its probably not a big step from simply having some sort of overlay telling you their supply, buildings, units etc.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

The overlay ads on YouTube are completely independent from us - we get no dosh for those. I think they might prevent display of those ads on videos that don't meet the Adsense Terms.

>> ^rottenseed:

What about those ads that pop up at the bottom of videos? You know the ones that never relate to anything in the video. Aren't those adsense? Do they take all of those off of violent videos?
