One of the best hard-drive arrangements to be seen out there-Wondering what he's using as a sequencer there in the middle...Anyone?

Isn't there a sequence near the end where we see those past scenes sans Tyler? Thought that was pretty cool, like the Narrator pouring the lye on his own hand.

The opening sequence of 10 - 15 mins was the greatest, most exciting and nail biting, I had ever seen. In fact, there haven't been many since that equal it.

I have to say, this is the first time I've seen "Michael Bay" and "Emotional Depth" in the same video.

In all seriousness, being up on stage can be quite jarring as you have the expectations of a crowd to live up to, or at least that's what stage fright can make seem. I don't know how much experience he has in those scenarios, but I'm assuming that he's used to being in an environment where people are expected to listen to him and he knows it. Ironically, a stage sequence like this purports the same scenario, people are willing to listen because they hardly have a voice to respond with besides applause (unless you really somehow piss them off).

Whether you care about these individuals or not, everyone should be concerned about their tax dollars being wasted so frivolously for actions like this. The initial sequence of actions by the law enforcement system as well as the inevitable multi-million dollar lawsuit that will be won by this teacher.

What a waste, I doubt legalizing marijuana will solve this it will take something else to crack down on the law enforcement management.

I used 23andMe for analysis of my saliva. The DNA is mine, what I choose to do with the information is my choice alone. Same as palm reading and seeing a psychic (if that's what you're into), or peeing into a cup - I can act on the information or not, my choice. If the FDA is so worried about and more importantly has time and money to spend engaging this company on the possible health effects of users who act on the information, I'd say their priorities are fucked up or at least their motivation is unclear.

Point of contrast - here's another product that can possibly cause harm, but were's the cease and desist for this one? I can go down to the corner store and buy a known to be addictive product, with labels that indicate "Smoking Kills", but the tobacco companies are still free to sell it and go about their business. The accuracy of the tests conducted on addiction, health effects etc. related to tobacco are still in debate. You know "We're still working on it". We choose whether we want to use this product, even though it doesn't only put the users life at risk (presumably) but also those around the user (presumably), same as we choose what do with 23andMe reports. However, I'd wager the known risks and costs associated with allowing tobacco use to continue is orders of magnitude higher than it ever will be for the 400,000 or so customers that have used 23andMe to sequence a portion of our genome. Why don't we work on the hard & obvious problem first?

Tempest in a tea cup.

ps. I wonder what the ulterior motive is? Perhaps the FDA is in cahoots with Monsanto in planning copyright on specific genetic sequences for humans, as they do now for crops. Hmmm... they could call it the Soylent Green experiment.

nice sequence of shots.... even more rare is the blue flash....
does brady get to fly all the way to chile to film little sequences like this?

Yeah when its running, it doesnt sound cool, but the starting sequence does sound awesome.

The handshake includes the baud rate of the modem being called (well both really, but it starts on the one being called). I know the sound changed depending on which modem I used (I don't recall if it changed much from which BBS I called, as it was too long ago to remember that much detail).

The initial sequence is this (as best as I understand it):

1) The calling modem waits for an answer, the called modem (Answer) will send a carrier telling the calling modem it is ready and the calling modem sends a carrier back. Note, sometimes the Answer may send a few just in case the Caller doesn't understand the first one for some reason. In theory that should prevent a Caller from sending signals to voice line, in practice the Caller gets impatient and tries to start the call itself...

2) The Answer will send all the rates it knows. The Caller will respond in kind. They agree which rate to use, and line quality might make for even odder rates...

Here's a link to describe it, look at Once again: Making a connection, http://www.myhome.org/pg/modem.htm

Game of Thrones? It was creative, but despite their caveat at the beginning, I'd personally love to see more intro sequences like Breaking Bad. Not that I'm a huge fan, but I was grateful to see that it shuts the fuck up and gets out of the way as fast as possible. To me, that's perfection.

Full story on this? That looked like a real deleted scene, but if it was that would suggest that there was a pretty major script rewrite after filming that bit.

The best explanation I can muster is that it was largely a real deleted scene, but that Jar-Jar actually jumped out in the real version, and this is a fan-made edit that cut out that escape and/or CGI'ed him back into the vehicle as it went over the brink. Or I guess possibly it is all real and they were going to have him meet up with the group again later after miraculous surviving the fall -- gungan reflexes or something (hey, the film has midichlorians, so why the hell not).

If it is a fan-edit, they did one hell of a job, and started from footage I've never seen.

EDIT:
I googled around and came up empty. This video and blurbs about it are making the internet rounds, but nobody seems to say anything other than that it is a deleted scene and it was probably cut for "creating too many plot holes"...

That seems like a pretty huge understatement to me. Ignoring the fact that Jar-Jar appears (briefly) in Eps 2 and 3, he plays a pretty major role with a lot of screen time in the Gungans vs Droids portion of the final 3-way battle sequence at the end, which happens well after where this scene would appear in the movie (right?).

Plus, Ep. 1 is very clearly a kids movie, and it would be pretty dark to kill off your comic relief / slapstick character halfway through the movie.

Maybe they had some early warning from focus groups that Jar-Jar was going to be ... not exactly well received and decided to film this just as a joke or even to play it for those focus groups and see their reactions?

Very weird. Not that I mind seeing Jar-Jar die, but I'm quite puzzled by this!

Take note that modern studies take into account the sequencing of violence and resistance, while earlier studies did not - and it shows clearly that resistance works.

Interesting, the video talks about resistance but some studies show that unless it is active resistance then it is unlikely to work. One set of data I saw showed passive resistance increasing the likelihood of a bad result. So you may be right if it simply frustrates an attacker.

saw my ex-girlfriend (before I met her) around minute-50, during the Prague sequence...

The mediocre characters played by the Cracked cast let me pretend that I too could weave an endless sequence of riffs on popular culture into social criticism so witty that the entire Internet would want to hear it.

If you actually read what I put you will see that I tried (but apparently failed) to make it clear that I was suggesting a scenario where the Car driver MIGHT have been at least somewhat at fault for instigating.
I went to great pains to NOT make a direct statement of fact regarding what happened here, but rather to elucidate my own experiences of angry/dickish car drivers to suggest another possible angle for the disputed events leading up the the video. At no stage did I say this is actually what happened, I don't know exactly what happened (and NEITHER do you for that matter, the build up wasn't filmed and reports understandably conflict).

You might also notice I added a paragraph immediately afterwards to make it clear that I could just as easily envision a sequence of events where the Bikers totally started it (or at the very least acted completely disproportionately).

I actually had a semi argument with one of my best biker friends over this vid trying to make the opposite argument to the one I posted on here (i.e. that under the circumstances driving over the bikes might actually have been a valid response to a direct physical threat just as you suggested).

What I was doing here was trying to introduce a little objectivity and present and angle some may not have considered, clearly I failed in this regard.
