I've never used the word "hipster" before. Who knew it was so powerful? I do believe this is the first time I've ever offended anybody here. Apologies, CE. I don't think you're hip at all, and seeing a midnight premiere of RotS after the abortions TPM and AotC kinda proves it. I still haven't seen the whole movie, but I'm hipper than you (which is bad, right?).

As much as I really want to post "I was criticising Star Trek trailers before it was cool" and leave it at that, I have to say that post kinda pissed me off.

It's got to the point where as soon as anyone has a legitimate criticism of anything they get labelled a "hipster". Well, fuck that. I'm 35, and I live in New Zealand. I'm not even sure what the fuck a hipster is other than that it's weird and confusing to me. </abe Simpson>

First things first, SNL actually isn't that funny. It has moments of hilarity (Tina Fey as Sarah Palin for example) but I general it's far closer to Chris Farley than Bill Murray. Maybe it was hilarious in the 70s but I've never seen those episodes. I do know that for the last 20 years, it has been consistently "almost funny".

More importantly, you're not the only one who likes Star Trek, and even if you're the trekkiest trek fan who ever quoted Kahn, that doesn't mean the rest of us aren't entitled to criticise it. Thing is, I'm a fan. I want to see this. And I want it to be good, same way as I REALLY wanted Prometheus to be brilliant. And it just ....wasn't.

So when I complain about this, I'm not some snide douchebag who's just dying for it to fail so I can jump on the Internet and let everyone bask in the glow of how right I am. I'm complaining about it because I'm genuinely worried it won't be good. I'm the one who went to the midnight premiere of Revenge of the Sith, because I still had a faint hope that Lucas would pull something awesome out of the bag.

wiki says

"In the early 21st century, the premier TT racing bikes complete the Snaefell course at an average speed exceeding 120 mph (190 km/h). Record holders include David Jefferies who set a lap record of 127.29 mph (204.85 km/h) in 2002. This was surpassed by John McGuinness during the 2004 TT on a Yamaha R1 setting a time of 17 min 43.8 s; an average lap speed of 127.68 mph (205.48 km/h). McGuinness lowered this even further at the 2007 TT, setting a time of 17:21.99 for an average speed of 130.354 mph (209.784 km/h) becoming the first rider to break the 130 mph limit on the Snaefell Mountain circuit. The most successful rider was Joey Dunlop who won 26 times in various classes from 1977 to 2000. For 2009, the Manx government added a new event to the June race schedule. The Time Trial eXtreme Grand Prix (TTXGP) was billed as the first zero-emissions motorcycle race. While any technology could enter, as a practical matter zero emissions means electric.[34]"

??? Here's a recent picture of her. And here's a more candid one without the benefit of any retouching/photoshop.

If that's aging poorly then I'm very curious to see what aging well looks like.

Gonna go watch me some season 4 premier episode. While shit-faced. In a smoking jacket.

Honestly, I'm pessimistic. I work with Virtual Reality for a living and I find head mount displays (even premiere research quality head mounts with top notch head/body tracking) to be a shitty experience. I'd rather nvidia glasses done well. My main complaint is with the very short optical distance between your eyes and the display.

Even with the latency thing, he kind of sets up and breaks down his own argument. He says, 2ms samples, so latency should be great! Then he says that they integrate over those samples to get an accurate measure... well... there goes your low latency.

That's just WAY too short. This clip combines two of the most intriguing forms of artistic performances that there are, as far as I'm concerned. The whole projection mapping field has done some amazing works. And the BMG, with their unique instruments and style, well, let's just say that they're premiere performers in all aspects. Combining the two, now that it's been done, it seems so obvious that it would be incredible.

Now if we could just add Cirque du Soleil into the mix, I think we might approach the ultimate performance art.

Jimmy Carr won this video by far.

Big fan of Jim Jeffries' comedy. He has a TV show called Legit premiering on FX in a couple of weeks.

Anyone know what that British show is that they had 2 clips of and looked like the stage of Whose Line is it Anyway? Looks like a show I might like to watch.

I lost interest half-way through season 3. First 2 seasons were comedy gold, though.


I only just discovered Community. I got through season 1 and 2 really quickly. The first half of season 3 is nowhere near as good. All the characters seem like caricatures of themselves (which is impressive seeing as they're hardly 'realistic' to begin with), and it felt forced.

But it gets back into the swing in the second half of the season.

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

This is an email submission request by the creator - very cool video. More details:

The Ancestor is a collaboration between Chinese Takeout and Crazy Lake Pictures, both young production companies forged in the fires of speed-filmmaking challenges. Chinese Takeout members Timothy Hahn – Pixar employee by day, ruthless preditor (producer/editor) by night – and Abraham Dieckman, writer-director of the upcoming sci-fi feature Trash and Progress – recently made a splash on the festival circuit with the animated short film Cadaver, featuring the voices of Christopher Lloyd, Kathy Bates, and Tavi Gevinson. Crazy Lake Pictures accomplices Mike Lavoie, co-executive producer of the acclaimed film Sleepwalk with Me, and Keith Boynton, whose feature film Chasing Home was chosen as the opening-night premiere of the 2012 Gotham Screen International Film Festival, also collaborated on the well-received "Here We Go" music video for Brooklyn-based band The Spring Standards.

The Ancestor is Crazy Lake's second video for Darlingside (after the jaunty parable "Terrible Things"), and the first meeting of the minds between Crazy Lake and Chinese Takeout, though Hahn and Boynton have enjoyed the texture of each other's brains since their days doing improv comedy together at Amherst College. All four men are sensitive film nerds who look forward to many future collaborations.

How topical that eating two hollowed out papayas filled with Hasma was one of the challenges in the season premiere of the Amazing Race this Sunday evening [you MUST use your chopsticks Monster Truck people!] =o/

You know, in a world of mega-million dollar extravaganzas being premiered to literally millions of people at the same time, I have to say, having your game being played by a two year old way off in the middle-of-nowhere Afghanistan is, to be blunt... FUCKING AWESOME.

Just realised they mentioned he admired Gary Oldman. Rise was a dream come true then.


And Tinker Tailor... by the way I love this pic

This is some Premiere Douchbaggery. I think they should get a day of community service at least.
