God, why you guys insist on using MACs? by Judge Doom	Apr 11th, 2005 05:53:34 AM
Just to be "cool", is that it? It
that trailer looks intense. by Mr Brownstone	Apr 11th, 2005 05:54:54 AM
like Delicatessen meets Snatch. Sorry... I just watched The Player.
about the VLC player by Judge Doom	Apr 11th, 2005 05:56:55 AM
Man, that thing is great! Some movies that I, errr... adquired on the net had weird codecs that didn
Hey Harry, how is Princess of Mars coming along? Looks like Nic by Harry Coin	Apr 11th, 2005 07:56:29 AM
The world needs half naked Martian Princess being swashbuckled. I know it sucks that Rodriguez was forced to drop out, but if Nick can get a movie about a prehistoric shark fast tracked (although with a shitty director attached), a John Carter of Mars movie ought to be a slam dunk.
At least half of these scenes are from Night Watch by saareman	Apr 11th, 2005 07:56:47 AM
And isn't the title (in Russian) shown as "Night Watch 2"?
Gotta love VLC by chickenmonkey	Apr 11th, 2005 08:02:43 AM
Especially Wall Video Filter Mode. Mix and match!
So...very...psyched for this by gigaloff	Apr 11th, 2005 09:48:48 AM
It seems like the official title is NIGHT WATCH 2. Empire magazine calls it NIGHT WATCH 2 - CHALK OF FATE, so that might be the entire title. I don't care. I just wanna see it, and probably won't until a DVD surfaces. Christmas, maybe?
Captain Sulu/Judge Doom by mfluder	Apr 11th, 2005 01:39:32 PM
As Mr Brownstone has pointed out already, AVIs can in fact be played on Macs (that's Mac, not MAC, Judge Doom) using VLC or Mplayer (a simple search by the fat one on versiontracker prior to posting would have solved that). Judge Doom; I can't tell you why people in general use a Mac (or a PC for that matter), but I can tell you why I do, 'they work' and are not under constant attack from the thousands of virii, DOS or Zombie attacks etc' that currently plague windows users (largely because of grand incompetence on the part of Microsoft). And, finally, to Captain Sulu; Thanks for letting us all in on your raging homophobia, but you know what that REALLY says about you, right?
MPlayer OS X 2 by wchblade	Apr 11th, 2005 01:59:12 PM
If you're going to rock in style on a G5 with the entire adobe CS sweet and some kick ass digital video editing software you'll need MPlayer OS X 2 for stuff like this and of course the mounds of porn stashed on your HD. lol This little free app works better and more often then VLC which does well on it's own though.
Lame trailer made by a blind man by Fight-clubber	Apr 11th, 2005 02:44:22 PM
I have to say the russaisn really dont no how to make trailers. Same went for night watch there trailer felt like a day long and looked shit. Then you get some1 with some talent from america to do the trailer and the film suddenly looked great. I hope the same american trailer skill goes to day watch as of now it looks shit apart from a few flashy shots. But seeing that im not russian that never helps!
DEFENDING THE MAC by Captain RawBeard	Apr 11th, 2005 08:26:11 PM
Don't hate what you cannot afford. Screw PC's and Windows... they are so last millenium. Now go listen to your iPod Mini
I don t get the comparison between a Mac and an LP , I mean, Win by Windowlicker74	Apr 12th, 2005 12:01:55 AM
If you need a computer for professional use, then you buy a Mac. If you want to download porn or Spyware XXVII, then you can rely on a PC. it s that simple. there s not even room for discussion here. THE FAGGOTS ON THE MACS RULE HAHAHAH!!
I know lots of 'professional Mac users' in 'the industry' and... by workshed	Apr 12th, 2005 03:08:57 PM
... they know bugger-all about PC-based applications and tend to think that because their macs cost a shit load more money and all their apps are overpriced that they are somehow better. They are not. PC's caught up with macs about 18 months ago in terms of speed/reliability. Mac users are just pissed-off because, through the use of p2p networks, pc-users can get their software/movies/music for gratis. And saying you'll get infected with viruses just through using the internet is no longer a valid argument. Well, not for those who remember to keep their security up-to-date. And - just for the record - Harry's dismissal of p2p's and blaming of them for 'killing the industry'... hogwash! The net can make or break a release. Take 'Shaun of the Dead' for example. Would it have been such a massive hit if that screener hadn't been leaked so all the fanboys could pass their judgement, thereby ensuring a stateside release. The same has happened with Dead Man's Shoes in the U.K. It was only on limited (arthouse) release for two weeks but the leaking of a print to the net has ensured that the true cinephiles got behind the best British movie in ten years. File-sharing has it's disadvantages for the big-bucks movie industry (natch), e.g. Van Helsing (killed stone-dead by advance word-of-mouth), in that it is the supreme bullshit-filter with enough power to kill a studio, but for films like D.M.S.(on a $1m budget), it definitely helps to sort the wheat from the chaff. Now then, who's going to put a decent rip of 'My Summer of Love' on emule so we can spread the word on another classic. Keep well. I love you all.
Well voicebox5 because all of the REAL WORK is done on a PC... by ComputerGuy68	Apr 12th, 2005 04:25:41 PM
as are all of the REAL GAMES are done on a PC. And for the record I have a 15" G4 powerbook. And yes Macs do suck!
Speaking from experience... by scrivener	Apr 12th, 2005 07:59:58 PM
Macs are the most fucking worthless pieces of technological shit imagineable. Having survived a Mac-centric graphic design college, I am speaking from experience. The OSX workflow is just hideous... especially when juggling several programs. At the moment Apple and Adobe are in a battle to control every possible design application. Adobe being the champion of the PC, and Apple being the greedy monopolistic money whores they are. At the moment there is not a goddamned thing the Mac can do that the PC can't do better, faster, and cheaper. When it comes to film, the industry relies on Avid - not Apple. Hence, voicebox5's statement is complete bullshit. When I'm not using my school's Avid machines, I'm using Premiere on my home PC, which meshes infinately better with Photoshop and After Effects than Final Cut could ever dream of. The idea that publishing and film industries rely on Macs is a myth. Apple is a master of marketting their product to people with money, and their computers sure do look purdy, don't they? But in all practicality, PCs are so incomprehensibly superior, it boggles the mind to think that anyone would use a Mac for anything - let alone design work. As a final note, programs on Powerbook and G5 lock up exponentially more often than anything on my PC. I get angry just thinking about all the projects my Mac has destroyed. Mac stability is also a myth. I only use my Mac when I absolutely have to... and thank god, that isn't very often.
speaking from experience... by Mr Brownstone	Apr 13th, 2005 03:57:23 AM
you are a petty, misinformed and delusional little man.
but in all seriousness by Mr Brownstone	Apr 13th, 2005 04:03:20 AM
who really fucking cares if macs or pcs are "better"? they BOTH have their pros and cons everyone knows that.
who cares by ScaryJim	Apr 13th, 2005 07:47:52 AM
the fact tho is that pc's can be tailored to your needs whereas macs barely can and cost a grand more for the equivalent of the same computer power . Anyway what i really wanted to say was where the fuck can you get the nightwatch books > i've been to the guys website but he doesn't have a link , i've done googles ... it was a massive selling trilogy in russia .. WHERE THE FUCK CAN U GET THE BOOKS ? probably not translated yet ..
wasn't all that. by samuraisix	Apr 13th, 2005 08:16:17 AM
i caught it on nicheflix and the subtitles made sense, but the movie was over-stylish. the concept i really liked. it was like, average-shlubs-dealing with the daily supernatural, but some of it meandered for too long and the epic battle seemed a bit small after LOTR and other huge flicks. Good try, though.
I was gonna say 'to each his own'... by Stan the Bat	Apr 13th, 2005 07:15:33 PM
....but that seems insufficiently inflammatory for this board, so I've decided to go with 'Macs are the AOL of hardware'. Trailer stunk, by the way.
