Hmmm. Colour me confused. I went to see this last night and enjoyed it. Much better than the 1st IMHO. Some shaky cam moments aside I was entertained.
Saw it on IMAX 3d. First time for me with IMAX too.
Perhaps it's the mythology and creatures aspect that drew me in?

agreed there Purge.

There was a sense of continuity missing all along - jumping from one plot point to the next and so on and so on and so on....
There is something to be said of movies being filmed in the old Eastern Bloc - budget worries? No problem - come here and film!

I like the 1st movie much better - and that's not saying much.

So in summation: Sony fooled me once and the proof of that is the proof of the proof in the proof....

mine took 2 trucks back to back.

The guys who did your pool would be a good start I think. Other than that look for water service delivery in the yellow pages - chances are the 1st few calls you make could help you out.

Ive seen it done in as little as 48hrs. I guess it all depends on how much detail they look for.
168  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: [Hivemind] Filling a Pool on: March 28, 2012, 06:21:16 PM
When we were in your position 3yrs ago we went through the same thing.
We ultimately bit the bullet and paid approx 350-400 for a water truck to come onsite and fill the pool.
Why?

Schedule/Speed: This is the last step to get it up and running and the crew was already onsite and I would not need them to come back and run through the final checks etc. They were also in the pool at the same time as it was being filled to ensure that there were no creases etc. There is no way to take care of these once the water is in.
It would have taken 2 days to fill based on our water pressure etc.

Cost: When you factor in what you paid for the entire process this is a tiny tiny tiny amount in hindsight. Keep that in perspective.
The cost to fill with our house was less however.... read point above

169  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: Work decision on: March 28, 2012, 03:57:24 PM
sounds like a win in my books.

Question - in your current role are you empowered to discuss your feelings etc and either make the required changes OR trust that they can be made? Based on your response to this I would think that this could be your last hurdle in your decision. While there is no implicit guarantee that things will be different at the other company - if things are at a standstill where you are then you need to move on.

are you / they able to de-couple the friend vs employee constraints that are most likely to 'poison' the honeymoon phase?

How is the company governed in terms of decisions etc?
171  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: has this Remake been mentioned yet?..Total Recall on: March 28, 2012, 01:14:53 PM
original was full of fun for its time. I wonder if they are going to make this one more 'dramatic'? 
It was filmed in Toronto - there was a news article here with a picture of Colin F driving a 'hover' car downtown and causing all sorts of traffic nightmares etc.

173  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: The Hunger Games on: March 26, 2012, 01:50:56 PM
saw it yesterday with the wife and son. We did not read the books but understood the overall synopsis ahead of seeing the movie.
I enjoyed - shaky cam was not fun.
We liked the story and the setting.

All in all a solid 8-10.

dollars to doughnuts that based on the outrage he'll craft the script so that the one or all of the properties that makes the radioactive ooze is from space or came from an alien ship that the goberment kept secret.....

that way he gets his alien link while staying true to the original.

Spoiler for Hiden:
or he could make the link from his Transformers movies by using the 'blood' that comes from dead robots

Either way he's a wanker.

while I am sure that the additional pixel count will look better than my 1st gen. I do however want to point out that I do not get even remotely close enough to my ipad when reading, looking at pictures etc to notice the current pixel config at all.
I mean - look at the picture above - how close do you actually need to be?

Interesting take on the trailer there. One thing that I caught in the trailer was that the man looking over the falls with the grey/blue stuff on him was actually moving under his skin - or on top of his skin. It was most noticeable on the back of his skull in the trailer.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess what's going on in this movie right here, right now:

Spoiler for Hiden:
An alien race (the space jockeys) is trying to exterminate all races it considers a potential threat to itself. A signal is sent across the universe to attract those races advanced enough to seek it out. Once they arrive, the aliens do something to obtain the location of their home planet (probably some kind of brain extraction) and then sends a warship laden with bioweapons in the form of xenomorphs to wipe out the entire planet. The crew on the ship sent to seek out the alien signal discovers the plan and desperately tries to stop the ship before it can reach Earth. In the end they deliberately free one of the xenomorphs, which kills the space jockey and crashes the ship on an unknown, barren planet. The survivors then head home and tell their story, which leads directly into Alien, where Weyland-Yutani is trying to rediscover the location of the planet where the ship crashed to obtain the xenomorph for themselves.

Any better theories? smile

Me thinks you're right in terms of the 'gist' of it all.

Disturbing because of the breathing, screams and the simple fact that you just know he is terrified.
Safe for work.

I went to elementary and high school with this guy and played lacrosse with him. Was with him last Summer up in cottage country for a boys weekend.
Helmet cam video for the first few seconds - than darkness w/ audio.
You can hear the rescuers @ 8:39 or so. Mike is the one in all black at the end of the video
I do not have a ton of details right now. Once I know more I will post back.

Our son and 2 friends watched Aliens this weekend. I came down about 1/4 of the way through and thoroughly enjoyed watching them hide behind their hands/fingers at times. My son's eyes almost poped out of his head  eek when the alien came up behind Newt when she was in the water waiting to be rescued by Ripley and Hicks.
I was 13 when my parents snuck me into the theater to see it - an experience that I will never forget  nod
187  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: John Carter of Mars coming to the big screen on: March 10, 2012, 05:44:24 PM
Not at all surprised by this. The marketing touting this as the must see movie by saying ' before Star Wars there was John Carter.....' sets the bar pretty high IMHO. Sure I am negative a lot of the time.

I have never read the books and have no idea what it is all about but what resonates with me is a cross between Star Gate and 10000 BC and Dances with Wolves.

If I remember correctly he also stated in the comic that he and his beloved wife spent a ton of time with the RV- hence is wanting to keep it.

191  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: The Walking Dead strut onto AMC for Season 2 on: March 05, 2012, 02:37:28 PM
I would suggest that what we saw of Carl in last night's episode is setting the stage for what those of us who have read the comic already know about. Having Carl execute his actions early on in the show - to mimic the comic - would be harder to swallow in terms of character development etc.
He was showing a general detachment with his behaviour and actions last night and I think that what I wrote above dove tails beautifully into the spoiler that I posted above a few days ago.

Spoiler if you want more info to what I allude to above:
Spoiler for Hiden:
In the comic - very early on I might add Carl kills Shayne in the woods when he fears for his dad's safety
Something to think about??

I just realized that I never came back to this thread after posting that I was looking forward to it. Well I played it non-stop once I got the download. There are very few games that can hold my attention span the way LIMBO did.
Loved it start to finish. Sure there were hard parts that made me want to throw my controller - but in those times I turned to the interwebs for tips etc.
LIMBO remains the only game that I really tried to get all the acheivements for - I think I did all but one.

Anyhoo - if you like challenging games with great art style than I think you may like this one. Very happy with the purchase and to date it is the only XBLA title that I completed  retard
