am I the only one who doesn't wasn't an Incredibles sequel?
I just don't see the point, the film is a fairly complete statement and a sequel doesn't have much more to offer.
Seven Years' War...not the American Revolutionary war.
and maybe add The Cold War...
the fact that simply depriving people of sleep is one of the most powerful forms of interrogation should tell us that it ain't good for day to day life...
"Because they are Chinese they deserve less working protection that we would afford Americans."
this in fact is EXACTLY why...
if iPhones (and all the rest) were made in the US, working conditions would be much better...and an iPhone would cost you $1500 on top of your plan...
the shit going on at Foxconn and elsewhere is shameful...but Daisey needs to get his head out of his ass.
scary movies aren't really my thing so I haven't seen all that many but...
Boogeyman - [www.imdb.com]
not a very good movie but there are some pretty inventive and scary bits....BUT - the opening is some of the couch-jumpingest-piss-pantingest scenes ever...
"Conan the Barbarian and Sahara screenwriters ...."

well...that's good...sure to be a great film...

4) Fantasy novels have to be series instead of standalones

I don't mind series...what I do mind...what I mind VERY MUCH is a book that makes NO attempt to inform you that it is just the first in a series....

let us not forget....
I watched the whole damn thing and I feel exactly the same way...
mocap isn't a special effect...it just a method of getting movement data into the shot...then many many TDs have to clean a process the data, then animators go in and produce the final performance...
that it hasn't been done very well in may cases has nothing to do with the technique - just the implementation...
Closet Star Wars fan?
or the mother of Carrie Fisher...
no.
even if they did re-use 100% of the assets they would still take the time to fix/change them, update them to be easier to work with etc etc...if there is any saving in time it is a matter of a few weeks...which isn't much.
whatever work was done on the characters - and here I take it you mean the 'models' - was done under pressure of a deadline and I will bet that everyone involved has changes/improvements they'd like to make...then there is the shading/texturing...then the rigging (with improvements to the mocap process)...
add to this that you're not going to be re-using all the characters - likely just the main 6 or 7 etc...the rest you still have to build...then there are the props, vehicles and environments...
all in all there isn't much savings....and the pipeline will have changed a bit...
characters are never finished....
I've always believed that the best thing to happen to us as a species would be an asteroid impact...a big one...something that halves the population and generally fucks everything up...that way we'd be forced to rebuild infrastructures and the way that we do things...and we'd be afraid, all the time...instead of this, frankly insane, optimism about the future.
Age Of Wonder - Richard Holmes
[www.amazon.ca]
fantastic book.
additionally you have directors/VFX sups who might not be very good at this...frankly if you have to have stuff flying into the camera in order to create a sense of excitement in 2011 then you don't know what you're doing.
that is almost technically impossible...the CG in JP was built using tools/techniques that are 20 years old...it would be more work for less quality to try and reuse any of the elements...
