Makes me never want to drive again. Yikes. Also, who are these people who go around recording every journey?

I have to say that I reckon this is probably BETTER than the original prop. I saw the real prop for Biff's hoverboard and it looked like shit! I couldn't believe it looked so cool in the movie. Also: Where's the link to the competition? Do I have to search for it? Also also: This is a little girl's hoverboard! Edit: So Ben forgot to mention that the competition is to come up with the winning CAPTION for the photo he posted. Damn. All I can think of is, "My name is Marty McFly, and I think homosexuality is AOK!".

Why don't you get the replica and just add the "hover" bits yourself?

Punching Peter Jackson.

Sorry to break the thread with a huge image, but this is where the whole thing started right?

Huh. As someone who has done this sort of thing for a living for about 10 years, I don't really see this as much of a big "reveal". (Same with the Orange and Teal nonsense.) It's like someone saying, "Watch this movie! See how the music comes up slightly in the background when they're saying something emotional? Now watch this! See how the music gets intense when there's an action sequence?" Or "Look at this painting! See how it uses bright colours and it makes you feel happy? Now look at this one, that's all dark and moody. Makes you feel sad, right?" It's all just trends in visual language. Different countries have their own trends and fashions (just look up the oddness that is foreign movie posters). Right now, the public sees the devices pointed out in those posters and subconsciously thinks "action!". (Just like you all did when you saw those posters.) Remember how in the 80s all movie posters were illustrated? Actual paintings? Now everything is a photocomp. Even that trend will become passe, and a new one will develop which will seem cool, making the photocomp days seems as old fashioned as illustrated posters. So maybe we have reached the tail end of the "flaming debris" trend -- I personally still think it looks cool, but make no mistake: It's no secret! Here's another common example of how images are changed to make them look dark and moody. You see this on almost every movie poster, every perfume ad, in every movie, and on every TV show that wants to be taken "seriously". (Up to and including EastEnders.) Here's an extreme example: Here's an example I spent two second in Photoshop mocking up: Here's the original photo... Here's how it would probably look if it was used in a poster or magazine... Also: I love how the designer always gets the blame for these things. Any designer will tell you it's the CLIENT who has final say. It's a designer's job to give you what you want, even if we don't like it. And believe me, we often don't like it.

Oh kindly fuck off. That's TWICE you've insulted members of this community while asking us for help. I already explained that a forum could be useful for NETWORKING. If you're going to ignore helpful answers to your questions AND be a complete dick about it, then I don't see why anyone here should bother with you. Also, thread is excellent

Silly MS -- although I seriously doubt that still works. Also, it's just a lot easier posting keys straight into the thread. Yes I'm lazy.

Score!!!!!

Hmm. Looks like this thread should be hidden for anyone with less than 100 posts or something :-/

This is like asking how to have a conversation. If you want to use forums for networking, then I'd suggest commenting on things. If you don't like what you get back, then you might consider other forums. Can't say your PS makes your attitude particularly endearing so far.

Who better to make art than the people who buy it? Right? Right, guys? Guys?

WTF do you mean?

Hmm. Try creating a new account?

Fun...

Check the link I sneakily added. I'm booked in at the O2 on Thursday 13th at 1.10pm.

Never fear, Ben, Cineworld are doing HFR 3D screenings! http://www.cineworld.co.uk/news/402/detail

Nicely put, Mr Pony!

BTW - If anyone pre-ordered The Devil's Playhouse, make sure you get your Steam TF2 hats. Even if you don't use them, you can trade them for games. I put my Max's Severed Head hat up on TFOutpost.com and sold it within 30 mins. (I swapped all my DP goodies for SSFIV and The Walking Dead.) Pretty nifty!

Possibly. Hmm. I don't know how to check that, really :-/ Was it Steam?

I suspect that bkrl missed the build up and excitement, and only heard the hype. As a result he watched them with huge expectations, and only saw the flaws. I see the flaws, too, but I also see the good stuff. Which is it bkrl?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeird. Anyone know why?

I loved the ending of Return of the King. I know a lot of people didn't, but I did. So there.

Bah. Stupid typo! I meant FC3! It's not appearing on Steam when I search for it. (Not that I can afford it, but still... weird!)

Ouch. I actually feel sorry for BRKL.
