I guess Marvel figured, shoot, since they trailer has already been leaked, bam there ya go.

I wonder if they are gonna maybe release a longer trailer for next week’s Agent of Shield. They were trying to give AoS a boost, but now with this leak, it’s won’t be so boost-y.

Either way, I already love James Spader, but until now I didn’t realize how good his voice would seem as Ultron!

It literally (in my best Joe Biden voice) gave me chills. I love that they made it not very Robot-y and it’s downright human.

I’ve never have linked the lil segment in the trailer for a line from Pinnochio

Oh, I will, too. I just like to pretend when the first trailers for a movie come out that I’ll somehow be able to ignore them.

I have managed to avoid watching anything related to Interstellar since I saw the first teaser trailer in the theater, but that probably won’t last much longer.

In other news, Matthew McConaughey is an idiot. And maybe a racist.

“What interests me is how quickly it got pushed into the social consciousness. We were all fine with it since the 1930s, and all of a sudden we go, ‘No, gotta change it’? It seems like when the first levee breaks, everybody gets on board. I love the emblem. I dig it. It gives me a little fire and some oomph. But now that it’s in the court of public opinion, it’s going to change. I wish it wouldn’t, but it will.”

That is what the guy said.

23 ausador  Oct 22, 2014 9:02:58pm

So about that hack of the third party app site that let you save SnapChat photos?

Yeah I looked at the photos, yes there was kiddie porn in there involving 6-8 year olds, yes 96% was boring regular photos like you would expect.

BUT if you have teenage kids there was also something else they should be made aware of. Multiple snapchat conversations recorded for posterity between fictitious girls and other real girls and boys and getting them to post revealing photos.

You see pictures of the same three (very pretty) girls being used over and over to befriend people and then post a slightly revealing photo and asking the recipient to post one in response. Followed by more and more revealing pictures being shared, in the case of the girls it is more innocent “I showed you my tiny ones now show me yours.”

In the case of the boys it involves a bit more leading on towards possible romance but the result is the same. Teens getting sucked into sending naked pics to a stranger using the same set of pics over and over on new victims.

Reading the captions on the images sent one can see how the kids are lured into it but now their photos are out there forever on the web. There is just no taking that back unfortunately… :(

WTF is wrong with people? I’ve pretty much lost my faith in humanity at this point. I just don’t see how in the hell the world is going to improve with this much toxic shit just waiting to boil over at the least fucking thing. I know to gamers that games are a huge deal, but what I don’t understand is the outright violent hostility to women involved here. And it’s not just gaming where this is happening. I’ve told the story here before of how I used to have a political/personal blog on BlogSpot that I had to take down because of stalkers who figured out where my son went to school. Why? Because I wrote an open letter to Christians explaining to them that they were not oppressed in America. That warranted threats against an autistic child. I just don’t think that would have happened to a guy. Especially since the guy who did it referred to himself as a “patriarch” and MRA.

re: #34 A Mom Anon

After more than 30 years as a woman in an all-male field, there is little misogynistic behavior I find surprising. In many ways, I’m numbed to it because it was just a daily part of my job that I had to deal with and get over because I refused to give up the career that I loved. It was simply routine, something I had to navigate day to day.

But what I do find seriously disturbing is the increasing violence of it that I’ve been seeing the past few years. What I experienced was infuriating but not terrifying. It’s different now, escalating from eye-rolling “boys will be boys” to slasher flick levels of horror. I would like to believe it’s just internet anonymity allowing otherwise impotent mommy rage but I’m far from convinced that’s where it stops.

re: #46 allegro

The field doesn’t matter, but as a male techie, I’m glad you stuck it out.

But, I think what is happening these days is the good ol’ boy network has realized that between the women like you, who stuck it out, and their daughters and sons (guys like me), the “boys will be boys” crap isn’t getting tolerated like it once was. Which means they’re losing their privilege, and that has caused them (or at least, a hardened core) to move on to much uglier applications of force.

I hope they lose. I think they will. History has been going the right direction so far. Got to keep up the fight, though, even if it is going to be rough for a while yet.

Saw four coyotes lurking on the hill above the local park this evening, eyes gleaming back at me as I swept the flashlight beam over them. I saw a pack of at least six cross the road right in front of me a couple of months ago, just brazen as hell, but otherwise it’s rare to see more than a couple at once, they’re usually loners. They know the rabbits like to forage on the lawn there, I think the drought is pushing both populations even more towards reliably irrigated landscaping.

I’m not sure if it’s actually uglier now, or just better documented. The whole “it’s darkest just before dawn” thing might not be the case in societal progress. Like, I wonder the same thing about the 60’s Civil Rights Movement. Without downplaying the violence I wonder if it actually got worse then or if the press and society just started paying more and more attention to it. Part of it was an actual reaction to novel developments like the Freedom Riders, but I’m pretty sure there were an absolute ton of lynchings between the 1870’s and 1950 that just never got much notice.

In fact I know there was, because people have found family pictures from them. Lynchings were amazingly common, and were seen as a fun day out for the whole (white) family. People were proud to have their pictures taken with the victim. The spectacle was even commercialized, sold as commemorative postcards. The press, the government, by and large the entirety of white society at best just didn’t give a shit and at worst actively encouraged it.

Same thing with the Suffrage movement. We don’t hear a lot about violence against women from that era, probably because what we know now as acquaintance / marital rape was just so incredibly ubiquitous and condoned that nobody really took notice. So I wonder if the applications of force and the hateful statements we’re seeing now are actually any uglier or if we’re just finally paying attention to shit that never would have gotten as much notice before, because the internet and social media has just allowed everyone, including the shittiest of us, a wider audience.

I feel bad for those people. I was lucky, when I lived in Montecito the worst that happened was my dog got skunked, twice. That was pretty fucking annoying but in perspective it could have been so much worse. Last week I saw a lone retarded coyote that got spooked when he saw me and hilariously crashed headfirst through a shrub. Normally they’re dead silent and pretty nonchalant about people, but this guy was the most ungraceful wild animal I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen quite a few raccoons lately too, a big old fat one just lumbering down the sidewalk, taking his time, also an entire family of the critters up in a tree staring down at me one night.

Other wildlife includes owls, kestrels, tree & ground squirrels, the odd road runner, and on many afternoons there’s a migration of tens of thousands of crows. The sky fills up with them like it’s D-day.

At the country house of the Russian prime minister on Monday, the head of the French oil company Total, Christophe de Margerie, criticized Western sanctions against Russia, again demonstrating his strong personality in the face of the global sanctions war.

A few hours later, as his private jet tried to take off in midnight fog for the flight back to Paris, Mr. de Margerie, 63, the chief executive of the world’s fourth-biggest oil company and one of France’s biggest private employers, died in a crash after his aircraft hit a snowplow.

My girlfriend works for a US solar company that was bought up by Total. They had planned to launch a major solar initiative for rooftop solar elements all over France, which tanked when the French government lowered the feed-in tariff for solar, making the project almost entirely unprofitable.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but how did these major players manage to fuck up on such a grand scale and help torpedo solar energy in France for years to come?

Because it’s some sort of a “third way” ideology. It appeals both to unthinking and/or corrupt lefties and the right. It’s everything in one package - the alleged “antifascism” (only as an empty slogan) and hardcore nationalism, the alleged “social state” and simultaneous further “[neo-]liberalization” of the economy, the anti-1917-1930-communism and pro-1930-1984-communism, plus “orthodoxization of the country”. It’s a completely incoherent, opportunistic, protean (but more or less stably conservative) “ideology”. That it is based on contradictions is not a bug, it’s a feature. Which is why a Putinversteher can be a fascist, a conservative, a moderate, a socialist, a commie, sometimes even a liberal. That’s why we hear kind things about Putin from the likes of Bryan Fischer and Stephen F. Cohen.

“There have been dramatic reforms in Russia that are not being recognized by my colleagues,” he said. “The churches are full. There are opposition papers being distributed on every newsstand in Russia. You’ve got people demonstrating in the parks.

The churches are full. The Orthodox churches. And the Orthodox church has been given broad powers to act as a moral authority, restricting freedom of speech and expression, not to mention gay rights.
There are opposition papers being distributed, but the broadcast media are firmly in state hands.

UNC report finds 18 years of academic fraud to keep athletes playing

For 18 years, thousands of students at the prestigious University of North Carolina took fake “paper classes,” and advisers funneled athletes into the program to keep them eligible, according to a scathing independent report released Wednesday.

“These counselors saw the paper classes and the artificially high grades they yielded as key to helping some student-athletes remain eligible,” Kenneth Wainstein wrote in his report. He conducted an eight-month investigation into the scandal, which has plagued the university for nearly five years.

Latest White House fence jumper has mental problems, father says

A man who jumped the White House fence Wednesday night suffers from mental problems, and has been arrested there before, according to his father.

Dominic Adesanya, 23, of Bel Air, Maryland, barely made it onto the lawn before he was subdued as he fought two police dogs, the Secret Service said.
“Dog got him,” a Secret Service spokesman said.
Man jumps White House fence

Adesanya has been charged with two counts of felony assault on a police officer for attacking the K-9 dogs, four counts of resisting and unlawful entry, and one count of making threats, said Brian Leary, a Secret Service spokesman.

Like everything else in this country, now there is going to be an extreme response to these two fence jumpers, i.e., adding a second permanent fence/barrier around the outside perimeter of the White House.

Most of my students were 3-4 years old (HS Seniors now). They have little memory of the time. Some friends and I recorded over 20 hours of video from that night from different newscasts as part of a Political Science class project while in college. Over the course of time, much of the video was lost or degraded. Was able to keep some of it, add some from another person who uploaded some to you tube. Edits brought a running time of quality video to about an hour. I show it not just as an importance of understanding how the Electoral College works, but to present to them(some of who will be voting in a couple of weeks) that: Yes your vote counts.

Young, who settled in the 700-person village of Fort Yukon after coming to the new state in 1959, also shares comments that seem to reflect the perspective of his time in rural Alaska.

“When people had to work and had to provide and had to keep warm by putting participation in cutting wood and catching the fish and killing the animals, we didn’t have the suicide problem,” he says on the recording.

Suicide comes from federal government largesse “saying you are not worth anything but you are going to get something for nothing,” he says.

Asked if she could take my picture for a project, I said sure. We talked photo stuff for a minute, and I asked “If I may, why did you choose me, from all these people”. Her answer, “You have an interesting face”.

Since screening began on October 11, 457 people have been tested for Ebola at JFK and EWR airports (2 of the 5 airports designated as official entry points from outbreak countries).

Of that number, zero confirmed cases.

Patrick Foye said 389 people have been screened at John F. Kennedy International Airport and 68 at Newark. Liberty Airport since screening began Oct. 11. No one had the virus, he said.

The number at Newark includes a passenger suspected to have Ebola who arrived Tuesday night and was taken to Newark’s University Hospital. By Wednesday, health officials determined the man didn’t have any symptoms of the virus, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said at a news conference.

Newark and JFK are among five airports in the country designated to receive all U.S.-bound passengers from West Africa. Travelers whose trips began in Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone are screened for symptoms.

Foye also said he ordered that restrooms in U.S. Customs and Border Protection-controlled areas of the airports where screening is conducted are to be cleaned twice as often to guard against possible infection. He said the same order covers the cleaning of planes that have arrived carrying passengers whose trips originated in West Africa.

Foye said doctors told Port Authority officials the Ebola virus can live on a hard surface for two to three hours and perhaps longer, which prompted the order.

The upshot of all this focus and attention on cleaning facilities is that planes and airport bathrooms might be a little cleaner going forward and there might be a slight reduction in the spread of other communicable diseases.

I didn’t think that until I saw the name of the attacker. Previous to that, and now to an extent still, I’m sitting back and waiting for actual investigation to take place before looking at all towards the background and motivations of the attacker.

Still too much empty space there that the shrill conspiracy and fear mongers are trying to fill in order to forward their own agendas.

What exactly did Harper say that suggests leadership over anything Obama has said when facing a similar circumstance?

Right - nothing.

It’s the same kinds of platitudes.

In a televised address to the nation Wednesday evening, Mr. Harper described the shooting as a terrorist attack and linked it to an incident on Monday in which warrant officer Patrice Vincent was killed and another Canadian Forces member was injured after Martin Rouleau-Couture hit the men with his car. Mr. Rouleau-Couture, a Quebec man, was later killed by police following a high speed chase.

“Fellow Canadians, in the days to come, we will learn more about the terrorist and any accomplices he may have had, but this week’s events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of terrorist attacks we have seen elsewhere around the world,” said Mr. Harper. “We are also reminded that attacks on our security personnel and our institutions of government are by their very nature attacks on our country, on our values, on our society on us Canadians as a free and democratic people who embrace human dignity for all.”

Hospitals (actually hospital systems - aka companies) consider rationing care. Not government. That’s somehow acceptable?

Officials from at least three hospital systems interviewed by Reuters said they were considering whether to withhold individual procedures or leave it up to individual doctors to determine whether an intervention would be performed.

Ethics experts say they are also fielding more calls from doctors asking what their professional obligations are to patients if healthcare workers could be at risk.

U.S. health officials meanwhile are trying to establish a network of about 20 hospitals nationwide that would be fully equipped to handle all aspects of Ebola care.

Their concern is that poorly trained or poorly equipped hospitals that perform invasive procedures will expose staff to bodily fluids of a patient when they are most infectious. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working with kidney specialists on clinical guidelines for delivering dialysis to Ebola patients. The recommendations could come as early as this week.

The possibility of withholding care represents a departure from the “do everything” philosophy in most American hospitals and a return to a view that held sway a century ago, when doctors were at greater risk of becoming infected by treating dying patients.

The part in bold appears to have been what happened in part with Duncan.

Thing is that health care workers are exposed to biohazards all the time. Blood products, urine, feces, etc. containing viral, bacterial, or other contaminants that could lead to infection.

The best protection is to follow proper infection control procedures.

As long as the bottom line is measured only annually, it is easy to keep costs down. We are now faced with very expensive consequences.

NBC - No Bloody Clue…

Details…who needs them? Facts…who needs them?

Base emotion…that’s what it is all about. Or manipulated to get a certain slanted message across.

Yesterday I had investigation Discovery on and they were doing a “Dead on Arrival” series show about a young lady from Columbus Ohio who’s father was the Ohio State Band director. She went to New York to be a dancer against here parents wishes, had a tough time finding work, etc. and ended up killed by a jealous boyfriend.

Anyway, all through the damn show they kept painting Columbus as ‘small town’ America and she had to go to the big city where everything was so different, blah, blah. Three times they mentioned Columbus=small town. It made me crazy, so I fired off an email saying do you really need to tell a story to get the theme you want even if the facts don’t support it? I guess it all comes down to creative liberty.

Now I know, Columbus is no New York, Chicago or LA large, but we are the 15th biggest city in the US. So, if we are small, the town I grew up in in north central Ohio with 50,000 citizens must be the proverbial one-traffic-light crossroads burg? And Toledo must be a quaint little mom and pop town. Or, something.

You no longer can trust anything you read or watch. It is all about fudged facts as cast to get the message across, not the actual facts that get in the way of the message. We live in a fictional world now, the real world no longer good enough. It is obviously already the method in the news media. FOX has proven it. CNN is running with it, and it looks like the once great big three (CBS-NBC-ABC) are there now too.

Ummm, NO. It hasn’t. Proof? That the Duncan case resulted in all of two direct contact cases and that his fiance and others were not infected and have been cleared of quarantine.

Scientists have been studing Ebola for more than 40 years, and there’s no sign it would mutate in the way he’s claiming.

But that’s typical. Makes for good soundbites and pressures Obama for travel bans, which wont do anything positive according to the health experts that actually study this stuff.

Rather, the CDC and DHS have limited access from West Africa to five airports, which were already handling 94% of the flights in any event. And they’re watching those people for 21 days to confirm that they’re Ebola-free.

WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah reminds us today that October 23 is the day that 17th-century scholar James Ussher deduced was the day on which God created the Earth in the year 4004 BC, thus making today the Earth’s 6,028th birthday.

Farah marks the occasion by taking on some of the scientific quibbles with Young Earth Creationism, including the science showing that the earth is billions of years old and that dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago.

While science “can never prove the age of the Earth,” Farah argues, “God can, however, prove the age of the Earth because He was there. And someday, when He returns to judge His creation, He might just do that.”

He then argues that ancient depictions of mythical beasts are proof that humans coexisted with dinosaurs. “Is it crazier for me to believe the world is around 6,000 years old than it is to accept as scientific fact that it is actually millions or billions of years old?” he asks.

3D modeling (Blender + Photoshop, with NifTools for game mods) is one of my hobbies so I see the possibilities of CGI in movies as breathtaking. From my jaundiced, Old Guy perspective it seems that Hollywood often uses CGI as a hammer wherein all of the other elements of film making become nails. To me, Luc Besson made excellent use of CGI in “The Fifth Element,” itself another example of a movie that would be very difficult to make without CGI.

There’s still something to be said for doing things with practical effects - like say the scenes in Inception where they were flipping the set around to mimic the van flipping off the road. Sure, it could be done with CGI, but there’s a weight that CGI just hasn’t been able to capture thus far. Heck, even the Matrix bullet time shots were practical effects using multiply linked cameras to get the desired outcome.

And far too many directors use CGI to cover up gaping holes in their stories (Michael Bay and George Lucas, I’m looking at you). Explosions are not a substitute for exposition.

3D modeling (Blender + Photoshop, with NifTools for game mods) is one of my hobbies so I see the possibilities of CGI in movies as breathtaking. From my jaundiced, Old Guy perspective it seems that Hollywood often uses CGI as a hammer wherein all of the other elements of film making become nails. To me, Luc Besson made excellent use of CGI in “The Fifth Element,” itself another example of a movie that would be very difficult to make without CGI.

I’m still waiting for CGI as Fritz Lang or Jaques Tati or Buster Keaton might have used it.

Oh yeah, CGI is the lingua franca for effects these days and I love how it’s used most of the time. I often kick myself for not seeing certain movies in the theater just for the effects. But there have been a lot of movies where the only selling points are the special effects.

Speaking of CGI and movies the wife and I watched X-men: Days of future past. I enjoyed watching it, then realized it was just the plot of Terminator 2: Judgement Day with mutants ><

Has this been mentioned. I know it is sports related, but it says way more about societal issues than sports. Growing up in a mixed race neighborhood and still living in one and having many black friends and business associates I am left dumbfounded by this report. You?

MSN Sports - Seahawks don’t think Russell Wilson is black enough?

Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman, who explores the trade and locker room dynamic in Seattle, gives several reasons why some players have issues with Wilson, and he even suggests that some players believe the quarterback is not black enough.

Really? I guess this must also be considered for our first black president. Or, is he even black?

You know sometimes I wonder if race problems will ever end? I get the feeling folks on both sides of any color issue don’t want them to.

re: #249 Vogon Poetry

There’s still something to be said for doing things with practical effects - like say the scenes in Inception where they were flipping the set around to mimic the van flipping off the road. Sure, it could be done with CGI, but there’s a weight that CGI just hasn’t been able to capture thus far. Heck, even the Matrix bullet time shots were practical effects using multiply linked cameras to get the desired outcome.

And far too many directors use CGI to cover up gaping holes in their stories (Michael Bay and George Lucas, I’m looking at you). Explosions are not a substitute for exposition.

Inception was amazing for the scenes they managed to pull off without CGI, like The Matrix before them. Say what one will about wire-fu, it is still far more impressive when pulled off well than CGI puppets flying around the screen.

In a way, it’s like 3D. Most of the time it’s just used to get things flying out of the screen at you. Gets old fast.

In my mind, one of the best uses of 3D was Hugo, by Martin Scorsese. Yes, you had the ‘Flying out effects’ (one with the dog was particularly good), but he also took advantage of the DEPTH that it gave him, and there were some remarkable shots that took advantage of the world extending behind the screen.

re: #255 RealityBasedEbola

I have issues with 3D. Most of the time I come out of the movies with a serious case of eye strain. I wear glasses, so having the extra pair of 3d glasses throws things off just a bit. But it’s also work to try and keep focused squarely on the screen - I find that if I turn my head or nod just a bit, things get all out of focus.

But when it’s done right, the effect can be amazing. We saw HP: Deathly Hallows 2, and the limited 3D effect was very well done - like during the battle of Hogwarts castle, and then the final battle between Harry and He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Voldemort, there, I said it and I don’t have the trace!

To me, it’s much more immersive to watch the movie on an IMAX screen than to see in 3D.

CGI is just another tool to be used by the film maker. In some cases, it will be used by film makers to distract you from the fact they don’t really have a story to tell and hope the visual effects are enough (The Star Wars prequels, Transformers)

In other cases, the CGI is used as a tool to let the film maker develop a world or show scope which would be impossible to do conventionally (LOTR, Gravity)

Don’t blame the tool. Blame Film Makers overusing a tool.

I watched “The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug” in 3D and there must have been something wrong with the glasses because all the colors looked washed out, like the film was B&W.

South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Right. Not only would they have the society of the 1850s, within ten years they’d have the amenities of the 1850s as well. All three of those states are upside down in terms of federal taxes paid versus federal spending in the state so things should work out real well for them.

Yeah, I was looking at mine and it was only five pages (1040, 8880-Retirement Savings Contribution, and 5695-Energy Property Credit) if I had submitted it by mail, plus two worksheet pages (Student Loan Interest and Credit Limit Worksheet). (Really, who doesn’t do their taxes electronically?)

The numbers are actually pretty surprising. Most paper filers use the 1040, not the 1040EZ or 1040A (see page 148 as numbered, page 2 of the pdf). They don’t break out returns filed electronically, since it will automatically determine the form used by filling in the questionnaire.

A lot of this discussion about movies also applies to games. The appeal of the eye candy of the game can ebb quickly or be superseded by more modern effects. But good gameplay, like good movie dialogue and character arc, can have you going back to older games even now.

Also in reference to Pat Robertson babbling about having the power to raise the dead: This belief, actually held by many evangelicals, comes from a scripture in the Book of Matthew:

5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

Bascially, a considerably literal reading of these scripture would boil down to: “Jesus is saying that as his followers we also have his powers and He is calling on us to use them just as he did to win converts.”

A more broad interpretation would be that Jesus is merely, once again, calling on us to be like Him. For example, instead of meaning physically raise the dead he may be referring more to the spiritual dead. Instead of meaning the physically sick, He may also mean the sinning and psychologically damaged.

At the risk of sounding like a “get off my lawn” reactionary, I agree that CGI is certainly impressive (and the main reason that all those comic book storyboards from my youth are now able to be realized believably), I miss the sense that human hands manipulating physical materials are providing the magic.

A while back, I got a chance to see a traveling exhibit of Star Trek that was pretty comprehensive. Original costumes, toys, matte paintings and sets, which were impressive enough (yes, I was in the throes of geekness that day!) — but what really floored me were the shooting models of a Borg sphere and a Borg Cube. These were the working camera models - the cube itself was about 2.5 feet square, and the level of intense detail was astonishing. All done with hands and solid materials.

I hope stuff like this gets preserved by somebody — it’d be a real shame if this visceral knowledge were to get lost in the mists of time and data. (And don’t get me started on how few young folks know the name Ray Harryhausen….!)
