What else is new?

Japan Goes 3-D with New TV and Broadcasts

Tokyo shoppers can now watch 3-D TV content with Hyundai It Japan's E465 3-D TV, debuting in stores for a measly $4,980.

(Didn't take me long but sure enough found one on Craigslist for the same price

But as for the TV, I think they are going to start calling it "ir-reality" TV it ever hops across the shores. 

  - - 

Not far behind the land that gave us Rogan and Godzilla, 'Monsters vs Aliens' is  movie produced in 3-D technology slated for release in March 2009. So says Wired. And with that one among the 10 major studio 3-D releases skedded for 2009, some people are predicting a hard time in transition if certain industry players dont lead the bunch. Steven Spielberg for one.

But I can hardly see 3-d being a main problem with Spielberg, in fact, hes already promising to produce via DreamWorks the Japanese manga "Ghost in the Shell" .....with plans to adapt the futuristic police thriller as a 3-D live-action feature.

Starting next year, Disney plans to make ALL of its animated movie in 3-D.  No more 2-D for you.

But hey betcha didnt know Sylvester Stallone has already been in a big buget 3-D action movie.

Here is something truly visionary.... 

ladies and gentleman the uses are only limited by the imagination 

first use that comes to my mind is shopping.

Seeing will be dis-believing.

http://www.tdvision.com

And yet another: immersive video. Scroll left and right 360 in the video

http://www.immersivemedia.com//index.php 

 

 

 


Recently experimenting with creating 3-D pictures on my own (only I know how to do it )

 

I came up with with this one I created my self (only I know how to do it :)

 Happy viewing...but I my self do not have 3-d viewing glasses. Heh! Its not Hannah Montana heh heh heh

 


 

 Up next? Yes, a 3-Dcamera.

Hol-y!

Topic: Entertainment

This film has won 32 international awards....

http://www.vierminuten.de/

 

from the films web site :

" soundtrack is a mosaic, compiled from centuries of tradition. Klezmer, Bach, bar music, handcuff rock, North-African sounds, Beethoven’s Waldstein Sonata, heavy metal. But the music that most clearly expresses what FOUR MINUTES is about, the deep wish for individuality and freedom of expression,"

...including the Lola Award which is worth 500,000 euros ($680,500), and decided by more than 800 members of the German Film Academy in Berlin...

from the same film company which brought the true story of a young female soldier coming of age during the Eritrean civil war to the silver screen known as 'Feuerherz'

Senait Mehari, narrates her experiences as a child soldier in the film, as a kidnapped member of the then guerrilla force known as EPLF, now the ruling party in Eritrea.

also known as Heart of Fire

  

 

 



Demonstrations occured during the international film festival in Berlin against the film...

Originally planned to be shot in Eritrea.  After the government refused, the film moved to Kenya for shooting.

The cast proceeded to walk of the set after repeated threats and 'telephone terror' from officials in Eritrea.

Senait Mehari, the former child soldier, is now a singer in Germany.

 Special note for aspiring Spielbergs..

A major attraction to the minor tourist attraction island of Sado in Japan

..he defected to North Korea 40 years ago, only to be released with a Japanese wife. 

Charles Robert Jenkins was planning a trip to the United States this spring to do “Larry King Live”and promote his book, but the tourist season on Sado Island is heating up.....

Speaking though of dinner....
Mood:  cheeky
Topic: Science and Health

Hmmm reading this article which said:

"Take that Big Mac and fries chased with a cup of coffee."

I thought,...does ANYBODY ..chase down a Big Mac with fries? With a coffee? I mean can you imagine that? Just to make sure that last bit of grease slogs down and it has no trouble, er perhaps its a way to make sure it goes star-aight to your liver...but anyway..

 But, alas,...

 

This seemingly simple meal actually has complex origins, containing about 20 different ingredients and plant species drawn from sources all over the world.

The potatoes were originally domesticated in South America, for example, and the mustard was developed in India. The onions and wheat originated in the Middle East, the coffee in Ethopia.

 

-  - -

So, next time you take your date out for a bite to eat and she asks whats on the itinerary...tell her you are dining international...

I'm sure she'll be impressed. Seriously, as you are picking that lettuce of the front of your teeth, make sure to say :

"phylogenetically speaking, anyway". 

 

So whats the problem? Alien species. 

 

Its something to munch on...

Black Flag Cafe'ers doing their jobs, making sure Internet surfers and world travelers alike never believe for a moment that there is nothing good enough to be left alone as sanctimonius that deserves not to be made fun of ...

not even a murdereed hitchhiker making international headlines. 

Turns out theres a Canadian connection to this one

I hope they don't happen to fall upon the BFC to note how a murdered person became a topic for one-liners, jokes and off-based humour

Shows that theres always a good selection of wierdos maniacs and psycopaths out there making untrodden paths all the more un-safer to travel

Good for you Flaggers, an international story and now your site is a stark abberation amidst all the fallout that is happening around the world and on-line for a cause the world is in need of.

Well, they do get the type of attention they so deperately need anyway. Aint that right, RYP?

THRrills indeed
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: Travel

What were Sylvester Stallone and Phil Collins doing rubbing shoulders recently with French rugby union giant Sebastien Chabal last Saturday in Paris?

For what type of creation would include: scouring Europe for thousands of old books for a hotel library, furnishings, magazines and newspapers...

in addition to staff watching all 156 episodes of The Twilight Zone, some of them three or four times, to study the props and music?

As this writer suggests, "Disneyland Paris has long been famous for its kind rides and sugar sweet attractions."

 

But for this type of ride, you would have to contend, ......it's hardly for the kiddies.  

more:

It is reckoned to be the most terrifying theme park thriller of them all. Travel writer PAUL COLE books into a Hollywood hotel long past its sell-by date and discovers things that go bump in the night.

Tower of Terror

Now Playing: A new day

OK Flaggers you can have posts about German autobahns, James Bond and Paris Hilton reality tv stories ...

and dream of the whiff of Lindsays Lohans damp knickers to waft to your site..

Meanwhile I'll report on Oliver Poole, Iraq correspondent of 'The Daily Telegraph'. He is author of a new book,dp,  'Red Zone: Five Bloody Years in Baghdad' ..

and reviews a new book out that takes leaps and bounds over our current cobbled together understanding of modern day events and bridges the gap in between the past; both recent and ancient, to help us gain an enhanced perception of events in war torn Iraq in todays news.

Just by mentioning that the current underground miltia leader of the foes of the current Iraqi government (which gave birth to what is now reffered to as 'sadrists') father and father-in-law were assasinated and killed by the anciene regimes past leader: Saddam Hussein...

.... clear cuts through the myopic fog that is created by US grandstanding politicians and their sometimes suspicious motives and seemingly empty rhetoric and pandering to crowds and camera for vivacious applause

 this review draws the curtain up on both the apparitions the US has created and ignored and the ghosts of Baghdad that haunt this war plagued region.

I guess we are waiting for someone smart to come along and summarize everything efectively and without antagonizing one side or the other and incisively reduce things to their simplest possible terms without sounding absurd.

Something like: "its always been this way".

With the US looking at its feet for answers to its current predicamant  it might be the best and last thing left to say that makes any sense after ignoring plainitively the previously received and ignored advice that the US could not handle any insurgency.

Sounds like an empty sound byte to me too.

RYP licks the toilet bowl for an apertif

Topic: Travel

So our Governor General has recently visited the Arctic.

GG Jean speaks of anger, fear, and hope for Arctic on eve of northern tour

 

 

 

She says every lost opportunity, every teen suicide, every source of despair in this region where the recorded unemployment rate is 25 per cent, are failures that belong to Canada.

"Every time we fail one of them we all fail. Every time one of the youth is desperate enough to commit suicide we all fail. This is how we need to see it and look at it," she said.

 

  

 

Fear of change is the region's biggest enemy, she says.

When young people are afraid of briefly leaving their communities to get a degree, or afraid of losing their culture, failure can follow.

 -  - - - -

We all know when we are talking about fear of change that fear of that change is a two way street.

Growing YouTube campaign for native schools has no effect: Minister

Read the story of our Minister accusing another MP of having an "YouTube" fetish, even with full knowledge of the sick situation there.

See the video. Ontario’s public school boards have joined the campaign to have a new school built in Attawapiskat, part of Canadas North.

With people like RYP around...such issues portrayed in videos would be banned, which is why I would encourage him to stay on his cushy isle of self contentment ...if its not a cause that can boost his own popularity ratings...face it...he's not interested.

And then he goes on to make fun of, and poke fun of Paris Hilton ?

Buzzer sound for RYP and wake up call and 3 alarm fire:

YOU ARE PARIS HILTON of the Net! You are an intellectual slutmonger! ...whenever it comes to Paris Hilton and your site guess what? Ms. Pari` Hilton is NOT ON! YOU ARE! Wake the f-- up and smell your own coffee...

This lousy ex-Canadian RYP is a piece of shit.

Heres what he said recently

The Only Reason To Like Germany Is Gone

-  --

Of course someone as bright and intelligent as him (not to be unsurpassed mind you by his own vanity) has to use the closing of a mere 7 miles of freeway to have a speed limit

he chooses to use the occasion to crack wise and confuse people into thinking there WAS somethng about Germany to like in the first place

I cant wait RYP, I cant fucking wait till you leave that paradisical island like stretch of California beach you call home and hit the road

..either that I hope you become so addicted to your own web site and board you become the next recluse known as Howard Hughes

laughing at your own jokes, posting endlessly about stories no one else reads, isolated and sitting in a pool of your own urine and feces

Or dream up some idea where instead of Industrial Strength Dangerous Places, you concoct some message board idea to make it an Olestra- free version so you can quit giving all your visitors the runs

Youre bullshit stinks to beyond heaven (of course all BS stinks but yours is so distinct it makes cows think english is thier mother tongue)

RYP thinks: now I remember why I banned Mach he thinks.

Naw, RYP, last time I heard you went cerebral was when youre wife bitch slapped you for wearing out her panties online

 -  -

Look at this gem tid turd bit

Fleming was no master writer. His stupid super hero punk ass bitch appealed to the macho instinct in all men of that era who wanted more hair on their chest. No one doubts his is the most successful franchise but for pure genre its also pure pulp. For some reason, it climbed the unassailable peaks of leftover bottom basement dime store novels and tickled a previously un-feverish imagination of readers hungry for a replacement for the lacklustre in their lives.

By luck it was a hit. 

That he had a muse of some sort should be held with the same type of laughable contempt for posters like RYP who think such an acclamation has worthy of merit for discussion. Or so your readers seem to have judged so for themselves with this one whungy comment

"Fleming never did the horizontal mambo with his Moneypenny, either.. :("

Well speaking for one who muct know that information first hand , how can we ever rest assured that its not the case of by God we sure know how much she tried

Mr Fleming smoked him self into impotency, seeking release through a fantastical character as Bond to relinquish him self from his own flaccid problem

 Fleming made all the rights intact to his works so that no one could make a movie from one of the whole story and  that only the title of the novel be used

"I think it's fair to say that Ian Fleming and 007 come across sometimes as misogynistic, but there was none of that in this relationship"

WTF? Just what kind of a stupid bunch of popcorn imbibing fucktards do you think we are all here?

Like no shit, Fleming was a bitch slapper who threatened and beat women to give him good story help...or else! 

 Since Thunderball came out in 1961, its a plausible notion to consider that the muse had everything to contribute as well to this little number here, which came out the following year and jsut as delightful to consider-lol

- -

I think I saw a little bit of James Bond in RYP especially when he gave Johnny Lindh Walker that tongue spanking on tv for all to see and hear

 LOL- dont worry RYP...you can be James Bond too!!

 

----

RYP, where on earth did you get the idea to post a picture of two innocent little boys and a little girl

 on a post called

Hype: Never Talk About All Hard Guys Book Club?

Oh I get it you post pictures of little kids in the same thread as guys popping boners through their shorts and then youre going to say I HAVE GOT A SMUTTY MIND???

 Geez man talk about your own mental floss shortage

...someone put a gob in your head and called it chewing gum for the mind

 Someone call a moderator...

RYP is sick.

We dont care what your view is or what your views are on whether or not you think a genocide of Canadas indians took place or attempted to take place

For Gods sake this is the Internet and people say things all the time

We just simply wish to know if you were aware of the image you are projecting to viewers that you seem to support partcipating in an
on-line genocide and thereby tacitly supporting the doctrine of manifest destiny based on race

Perhaps it would be easier for you to come out of the closet if someone actually called you a Nazi so you could then bring out the obligation on that person to prove it?

I didnt think so. After all, when you said you wanted to 'wipe my writing clean off the Internet',

the only defence being your own word.

Sincerely

Max 

PS Yes, RYP, enjoy the rights of America to free speech. But though shouldnt pronounce to deny the same rights others and label them as criminals for doing so. Nazi!
