Fwd: What if Star Wars Starfighters were Anime Characters? - http://armchairtheorist.posterous.com/what-if... (via http://friendfeed.com/armchai...)
Cass, <3Heather<3 and ronin liked this
The concept behind the upcoming movie "Surrogates" was pretty cool... when it was called "The Matrix".
Morton Fox, Cass, RAPatton and Rick Schmidt liked this
It isn't the same idea; it has more in common with Avatar than the Matrix, although Avatar sells the virtual experience as real and humanizing (of aliens) whereas Surrogates is about the experience being dehumanizing
- RAPatton
Are you trying to say Hollywood is out of ideas? Reboot, reboot, reboot!
- Rick Schmidt
People know they are using the Surrogates, and ultimately it is a story about how it is dehumanizing to use these representations of ourselves. I enjoyed the graphic novel, and think that the film can do pretty well
- RAPatton
Ah, I got it now Robert, thanks. The trailer made it seem remarkably like the Matrix: group of resistance fighters trying to take on a larger entity that's bent on keeping people locked up in a virtual world for a nefarious purpose, only a select few know what the real world is really like, and a misplaced guy who's blown away by all the new stuff he's learned.
- Mark Trapp
Without giving too much away, it is a world where you can interface with a robot surrogate version of yourself that allows you to sense as you would as a person. A police officer investigatiing a crime has his surrogate broken and is forced out to explore the real world for the first time in years and realizes that along the way we are losing something.

'Joker' creator Jerry Robinson reflects on Gotham and the golden age - http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocom...

Bill Sodeman, Anna Haro, Dan owns Comicsforge.com and 11 other people liked this
"Jerry Robinson, an essential figure in the early history of Batman and the American comic book, has many of his vintage ink treasures on display right now at the Skirball Cultural Center, among them his original 1940 sketch of the Joker, the cackling clown who today rivals Darth Vader and Hannibal Lecter in popcorn-movie villainy. But, in Robinson’s long and wandering career as an illustrator, this new, sleek installation is hardly the most important art show — that distinction belongs to a one-man exhibit he staged 70 years ago on a tennis court in the Catskills. Robinson was fresh from high school graduation in Trenton, N.J., and saving his nickels for college, but his mother was worried about his health; he had been peddling (and pedaling) for weeks as a bicycle ice-cream salesman, and the wiry teen was under 90 pounds. At her insistence, he splurged on a visit to a leafy resort and arrived on its tennis court wearing a white painter’s jacket that he had decorated with his cartoons, the same sort that had made him a popular contributor to his school paper."
- RAPatton
"Robinson, however, was impressed with Kane’s offer of a drawing-table job in New York. The teenager had been accepted at three universities and had planned on Syracuse, but after the serendipitous meeting, he phoned Columbia in the city and said he was on the way. Just to complete the giddy Frank Capra-esque sweep of the story, Robinson was spared a bus ride when a resort guest, the...

yep, we think alike. I actually set up an old Tangerine iMac in my son's room initially as a sort of fancy schmancy night light/music box w/the whole idea being that I'd play iTunes w/the visualizer to help him fall asleep w/the ambient light it would put out on the ceiling and walls. Several times I've shown him the iTunes visualizer when he was younger and cranky and it always instantly calmed him down. Hey, Geeky Parents Unite!!!

oh, and another thing that is super cool...the Finding Nemo DVD has aquarium "screensavers" you can play. (they just loop) There are different ones to choose from on each of the discs that come in the case. They have soft, soothing noises and calming visuals w/warm lights. It has really helped our son to fall asleep on a couple of occasions! I bet yours would love the calming & bright colors. Try it out :)

I agree that five minutes is about the longest I would let kids under two watch something like that. Their brains need to learn to develop depth perception and flat screens don't help that. I can't remember where I was reading that years ago native americans who had grown up mostly outdoors had incredible depth perception such that they could look at landscape features very far away and know how large and deep rocks and mountain faces, etc. were, whereas if we looked at that today we have no clue.
