Particularly the part where you go off one side of the screen and come back on the other without a single glitch in the complex waves in the backdrop!

a bow, and a comment :)
WOOOW! When you first walked out from the left then back in on the right, i had to go back to check the waves to see if they jumped in anyway and it was utterly seemless. Awesome effects, then I figured that you probably did it using a green screen overlay of yourself. Then the part where it goes underwater is amazing how suddenly the waves just rush into the screen and drown you. woah!
Anyway amazing effects, the sort of quality and effects you'd expect from hollywood.

I try and avoid greenscreen, as mostly it looks nasty and fake (useful for some things though, e.g. the cat head)
Besides, I like the fun of running around and acting silly in all these locations :)

this makes me so very happy. Not that I'm one to wave flags (do we have a flag?) but just because now I'll grin every time I cycle past West Pier.
Though actually I'm not sure knowing you live in the same place as me is a good thing. I was in Millets around January (getting boots for the snow, I'm not a madkeen Bear Grylls type) and thought I saw someone like you trying on boots next to me. So I did the awkward sideways glancing thing until he noticed and looked at me quizzically. Shit, I have to say something. Maybe he is actually you? Maybe I'l get a chance to say thanks for the amusement? Make your day a bit more smug? Anyway, I ended up blurting out the following...
"Scuse me, and I know this is going to sound weird however I phrase it, but you aren't that Sheep guy from the internet, are you?"
*long pause*
"No" says he.
"Oh" says I.
"Never mind."

( , Thu 3 Mar 2011, 15:43, Reply)

That's how ducks breed.
Quite interesting how ducks have evolved because of mating habits. The female has evolved a corkscrew-shaped vagina to cut down on being raped, and as a result the male ducks have developed corkscrew-shaped penises to try and mate.
Bet Darwin never thought of that one!
EDIT: a bit about breeding here, though no mention of duck willies... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallard#Breeding

See I really liked Yes Man, thought it was funny, well written, same with the one about his old school friends. Obviously QOTW style bullshitting but in a very 'knowing' kind of way? Then I got his latest book and just thought it was the most pretentious pile of steaming unfunny bullshit ive ever seen. Its basicly him rabbiting on about his wonderful meeja life with all his wonderful meeja friends. There's a bit where he goes on some weekend away in some holiday cottage somewhere, and talks about failing to catch fish with smoked salmon or some other clichéd bollocks, I cant even remember most of it because each page made me black out with rage...

"Futuristic city sprawl world where they genetic enhcance humans for the really tough and dirty job." thing is can be universal and there is no need to realte it to Blade Runner, unless you're a money greedy vampiure who wants to use a famous film name to suck as much money out of the project as possible.
( , Thu 3 Mar 2011, 15:17, Reply)

Blade Runner is my favourite film of all time and making modern day sequels and prequels is only going to ruin it for all of us fans.
Science Fiction film is full of utopian/dystopian comments on society and class systems, thats just part of what makes the genre. There is no need to use the Blade Runner name to sell a few new movies.
Someone is getting greedy it would seem.
This doesn't mean I won't watch them though, albeit without paying for the luxury.

They might turn out shitty and not at all like the original but that doesn't take anything away from it just the opportunity to make it better
( , Thu 3 Mar 2011, 16:53, Reply)

But I'd imagine it has something to do with the implied or alluded to backstory of any film, and then the implied or more often than not 'open' possible future once the credits roll. So when you have a cult film such as Blade Runner its very difficult to create a story which will please the vast majority of fan's preconceptions as to what the surrounding storylines should be like (is Deckard a replicant or not?) and if a film is 'officially' part of a Blade Runner series it then potentialy makes those fan's preconceived ideas of what the surrounding stories are null and void?. Thus Trekkies getting their knickers in a twist over the recent film (what does this mean for the 'Cannon' of Star Trek, is it part of the 'Cannon'?, and woe betide anyone who suggests the 'Cannon' could be wrong ;) ) So like with Star Trek, I loved the new film because I didn't have as much invested in the old TV series as Trekkies do. Personaly with Blade Runner though, its one of my favourite films, so messing about with the backstory etc. worries me. Especialy as the ending is so ambiguous, if you then set in stone that Deckard is or isn't a replicant that impacts your reading of the original. Of course for some one that hasn't seen the original, or wasn't that into it they wont care, and will probably enjoy having an entire backstory etc spoon fed to them?
( , Thu 3 Mar 2011, 17:00, Reply)

There are a number of Blade Runner sequels in the novels already. Perhaps they are just going to adapt one of them. I'll have to read up.
( , Thu 3 Mar 2011, 21:03, Reply)

it should be left untouched, like Alien should have been. I have yet to see any CGI which can match the production design and style of those two movies.
even though it was nothing like the book, they should do another K DIck or even better start on Banks' Culture novels or some Harry Harrison ones. But I guess that's too much of an unknown revenue stream to predict for the suits at Hollywood. I think its a mistake to get precious about mainstream films these days when realisically the are only viewed as 'product' by the people that green light them.

( , Thu 3 Mar 2011, 15:51, Reply)

its not like they are making the new films on the negatives of the old ones... the old ones still exist... a new shit version of the film being out doesn't effect your enjoyment (or shouldn't) of the film that you love... and someone might like the new one... so whats the problem with someone finding a common interest in a source material you yourself find interesting...albiet in an execution you find shit?
its a sort of passive fascism... i like the old one, i know best, so we dont need the new ones...
people should be free to produce as many shit films as they want... its not like a good film wont get made because this shit gets churned out... the studio system will only ever make certain films, but its not the only way to get films made...
i really dont see the problem with remakes or redos
( , Thu 3 Mar 2011, 18:05, Reply)

The thing is, Hollywood has been channelling Phillip K DIck-like reality warping and paranoia recently and it seems stupid and backwards to start remaking definitive dystopian visions when (via the pretext of stuff like 'Inception' doing well) they could be adapting shit like this:

whether the city effects are created with models or not. Yes this is more expensive than CGI, but a comparison of Naboo/Coruscant/etc from the Star Wars prequels against Helm's Deep/Barad Dur from the Lord of the Rings trilogy shows why a model is far better at rendering cities than CGI.
If they're willing to spend the money to make it look right, then I'm interested. Make them a 3D CGI shitfest and I'll ignore them.
