"I think there are these sorts of feedback loops in our media, where certain behaviors are at least "encouraged" by the presence of images and ideas all around us - behaviors that may or not be ultimately good for the society at large (civilization, to be grand about it) - and that the commercial aspects of this media dispersion of provocative images encourages producers to produce more (and more provocative images than using a claw hammer to murder someone I can barely imagine).
- Long sentence, meaning, in essence, we are going to hell in a handbasket."
"The images in question are not, in fact, 3D at all.They are simply 2D images with the red-blue filters used to "push" the flat surface back into a plane below the surface of the screen."
"If you, as a company, issue stock, then the purchasers of that stock become part owners of the company - they own a "share" of the company.If someone with a lot of money to spend offers the shareholders a price that is higher than the current share price, and 51% or more of those shareholders agree to sell, the buyer then become the primary shareholder - in effect buying the company.
I can see where the shareholders who WANT to sell their shares to EA at EA's price have a case."
"Bear in mind that the actual animation, such as it is, will be done by a company in Asia, and - except for a few layout and CG artists in Burbank - none of the people producing the animation have anything to actually do with the Simpsons, King of the Hill or Wow, Wow Wubsy - whatever THAT is.The question in many of the remaining minds at Film Roman is: who is the audience for this horror/sci-fi piece of *art*?"
"I miss a world where a person could smoke while they ate dinner - things were more civilized back in the day, before the good-for-you nazis took over America."
"I may be the oldest regular reader on this site - I turn 58 this year.
Ash, I think I know the feelings you described - I've had the desire many, many times that a particular moment could last forever."
"If this device were able to display information that was focus-able onto your retinas, then whatever lens that did that focusing would put everything in the real world out of focus."
