What do you think about the supposed international economical crisis ?

Hi, I'm not the kind of one who's really informed about what's going on in the world. Let's say I have my deep own beliefs in politics and in the way humans should live together but I got tired every time I'm informing myself about politics, economy or whatever. In one hand, I can't really deal with the fact the information I'm reading is somewhat unilateral, and in the other hand, the information itself just makes me "fuck it, things always happen the same way". Anyway, some friends of mine recently told me about a supposed international crisis, who take its roots in the 2008 financial crisis. Their point is both interesting and scary, but it hadn't a great im…

Empire starts teasing with snippets... http://www.empireonline.com/reveal/ For a refresher, Spielberg is making Tintin with WETA digital, with the same tech that James Cameron brought to the table with Avatar, and Peter Jackson is acting as producer. It will be based on the books Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure. Whole movie is CGI. Here is Spielberg talking about the new tech Cameron thinks that in 15 years they will be able to have real-time full quality renders of performances...

I'm just making this thread for purposes of sharing experiences. I think it's quite clear what is the solution to internet addiction, the cure even, for mild/early states: THE CURE FOR INTERNET ADDICTION: GET OUT MORE! GET OFF THE FUCKING COMPUTER AND READ A BOOK, SEE FRIENDS, LIVE, do a dance, do something, anything. but still, I want to share. this digital, virtual world is quite addicting, physically even. i'm personally a bit isolated in my current living situation so i've been using the net more in down time. i must say, it grows maddening. cycling through bullshit. over and over. reading things. checking things. leading to nothing. it's quite boring!…

http://www.10000yearclock.net/learnmore.html An intriguing project, and I definitely like the idea of long term thinking as to what we leave on this planet for future generations. Apparently Brian Eno is involved in designing the generative chiming mechanism thingy. A different chime every day for 10,000 years is pretty mad.

Have been a SW fan since ever, but this sort of cartoon show, the Clone Wars really never caught my attention. Until a few days ago, when i started watching the first season, and have to admit there is a certain charm to it, as well as a solid plot and it is highly entertaining. I know a lot of you guys are old SW fans, but you sure might enjoy this. There is a strong SW feeling to it! I know the 4th season is set to come this Fall, but i don't know what the plans are to the whole thing. will there be any more seasons? because being set between episodes II and III, there is quite a limit to where they can stretch the story, i suppose...

Hugh Grant certainly won some respect-points in my book for standing for his case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNItxPfIq6A It's been discussed plenty, but I'm still amazed how easy it is for the news to get away with just about anything for making money on some crappy gossip. Being a journalist is actually more like being a gossip broker. *rereads RDJ's interview*

i've been reading the imdb forums for the past 45 minutes, and i don't think there's one single movie on there that doesn't come with a "walked out" thread. is this really such a regular occurence in american (or british?) movie theatres? granted i haven't been to the movies for years, but i can't recall one single time, ever, where i saw someone walk out of the movie and not come back. i remember when i was like 10 years old or whatever, my friend told me his dad had walked out of king kong, but that's about it (and i guess the reason i still remember it is because it sounded so strange). from imdb forums: something like that happening here would probab…

I just got home from a special screening of this movie. It was very good (surprise surprise). Morris was there with the woman who was the subject of the doc (apparently she is some kind of celebrity in the UK for kidnapping and raping a Mormon dude in the 70s). They did a very awkward q&a after. It was kinda wild. Anyone else seen this yet, or have plans to? The movie brings up all kinds of crazy topics: sex, religion, cults, the media, cloning. There is something in it for everyone.
