Chrono Trigger had fantastic music, I wonder if it was by the same guy...

It's still really cumbersome and badly presented. It's hardly a masterpiece, but at least when it comes to the main storyline it's not random at all.

Oh, I just meant this new one.

I have the same problem you do, Hermie. I loved Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz was better and this seems to have everything I could hope for. I love the, I don't know, heartfelt (?) influence video gaming seems to have on the picture. It's not there to sell the movie to gamers.

I've lost faith in Whedon since then. I have a feeling if the show had lasted, we'd be reminiscing of the great first season that later seasons failed to follow.

Hitman!

I have my crowbar ready for those fuckers.

To be fair, LeChuck is amazing, and that's far more important.

Why does all the dialogue have an echo? EDIT: OH MY GOD THE LARGO GUY SOUNDS SO WRONG

I did just that. Should make sure I have more opportunities to get out of my head in the future.

I've noticed that. Does that mean the lens stretches the widescreen image to fit a 4:3 frame?

Here's a little thing I've wondered about before. When they shot movies with really wide aspect ratios, did they actually shoot frames with less height, or did each frame have black bars like a 4:3 TV showing a widescreen image? Oh, this line in that previous link makes my skin crawl: "There can be no doubt that widescreen films convey much more dynamic imagery, with the wider aspect ratio working to enhance the dramatic impact of the film upon the viewer." Perhaps not the content, but the presentation. Sure, I generally prefer aspect ratios wide than 4:3, but when I'm watching The Shining, I'm not thinking it should have a wider aspect ratio.

Oh, hey, today is for longing for the ex again. Damn, time isn't really doing what it's supposed to.

I got that feeling too. I think he saw an opportunity in perhaps making a bit of money from his cut of the sales (which he at least claims comes completely from the money going to the game developers and not the charity) while organizing the charity thing. That's not so unusual, but then he fucked up actually making the thing work, and that combined with the language barrier made him seem like a scam artist. I don't think he is that. I think he's a fuck up.

I looked around and they used at least this camera. 2/3 inch sensor. I just hated the way that movie looked. Like the way they had the white balance completely off on purpose in indoor scenes. Ughh...

Digital cameras have sensors with smaller surface areas than film (the sensor used for Public enemies has a diagonal of 11.0mm, while 35mm film has a diagonal of 43.3mm). To achieve a similar angle of view, they need to use lenses with smaller focal lengths. A lens with a 12.5mm focal length would achieve the same angle of view as a 50mm lens on 35mm film. Smaller focal lengths have more depth of field, so there you go. That said, people are starting to use DSLRs for filming, such as Canon's 5D Mark II, which has a sensor the same size as 35mm film. They used that camera for the last episode of the current House season. But they love shallow depth of field in that show.

Digital has the power of looking terrible. Not all digital, mind, only the kind Michael Mann uses. Might as well shoot his films on 8mm film.

But they're not slower!

Man, this game sure seems more fun when you can actually run it. I cranked everything up to max and it's smooth. Tried it for one life, blew up two stations. Of course the gameplay problems that were nagging me can't have gone away, but dealing with them should be easier. You guys still playing this?

So how do those work? Emulation?

Turns out it wasn't my fault after all. One of the RAM modules was broken. I have it running, Windows activated and everything

They've got Charles Cecil involved, which could be good news. I love Beneath a Steel Sky and Broken Sword, but those were a long time ago.

I'm gonna make a city with only Gods and kick your ass to kingdom come. Oh, whoops, nevermind, I'm not even in this thread!

I'm impressed, you have pretty tall women where you're from.
