*PARTIAL SPOILER*I like the ending. 1 it leaves it open for more stories, possible games. 2 if you play the first game poorly the end for that is the character dying in the jeep and the whole thing was in his head. The movies ending is a nod to the poor game ending. No rose didnt die in the jeep crash from the beginning. But this ending also explains how the towns influence is starting to spread in the games. I think it fits perfectly within the Silent Hill mythos. Nt every ending has t have a blue sky.
SPOILERS
You misunderstand. I'm not talking about the very ending of the movie when Rose and Cheryl walk into their house. I'm talking about the scene in the church when everyone gets their come-uppance. Bleh.
And for a scary movie, I wasn't all that scared.

While not terrible, I really didn't enjoy this movie.
They did a good job referencing many parts of the original game; especially in the first part of the movie as Rose is running through the Otherworld alley. They lifted the camera angles from the videogame for that scene. They did a good job of replicating Cybil.
But something was off. The ending was God-horrible. Bleh.
I'm so glad I snuck in a few pints of beer.

Besides the town Mamoru Oshii grew up in and its surrounding landscape, what real-life treaty was he inspired by while directing the film Jin-Roh?

Also I completely agree with DeathHammer's comments, "I think anime and the way the characters are drawn and handled mirror the same basic facts of mainstream live action TV and movies. If you are good looking, life is usually easier. Easier to get a job, easier to get promoted , easier to find an attractive spouse in a higher socioeconomic bracket, etc etc."
This is so true it hurts.
Yeah, I read an artilce in the Los Angeles Times (I think) about "good looking" folks making more money than an "average looking" person in the same position.

The Long Beach plant will be turned into a planned community, but the "Fly DC Jets" sign will be saved because it's a national historic treasure/landmark etc---but they're going to move it. A lot of the buildings are already gone.
The DC-8/9 assembly building will become a big warehouse.
Here's Boeing's website for it--buy land in "Douglas Park!"

Interesting, didn't know they had this planned. I can tell you it's in a pretty decent part of Long Beach. It's also not too far from Downtown Long Beach so it's great if you like to party.

Cosmology and particle physics
What can the matter B?
Apr 20th 2006
From The Economist print edition
A new result bearing on the question of why the universe is made of matter
THAT people exist is more than a marvel explained by evolution. The presence of stars and planets vital to life—the very being of matter itself—is a wonder. For, at the moment at which the universe was created, matter and antimatter, being equal and opposite, should have been produced in equal and opposite amounts. Since, as every schoolboy knows, when matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other in a burst of energy, the equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have annihilated each other long ago and the universe should now be filled with energy and little else, which is evidently not the case. So what happened?
The key is that matter and antimatter are not, in fact, perfectly equal and opposite. In other words, they are not symmetrical—and that asymmetry favours matter. A few sources of asymmetry have already been found, but not enough to account for all the matter around. So physicists are eagerly seeking more, and two groups working at Fermilab, a particle-physics laboratory near Chicago, think they have found a candidate.
Their experiments involve a group of particles called B-mesons. Quantum mechanics allows B-mesons to turn into their antimatter counterparts and back again, a process known as mixing. This mixing is described by some deft but complicated mathematics, and is crucial to the question of asymmetry. The frequency at which it happens is related to a small but significant difference between the mass of the particle and its antiparticle.
The two experiments at Fermilab, each of which employed around 700 scientists from all over the world, have quantified the mixing process for a type of B-meson called Bs. The difference in mass between this particle and its antiparticle is greater than for other B-mesons studied to date, and so the frequency with which it oscillates is higher. The experiments found that Bs-mesons switch between being matter and antimatter some three trillion times a second.
Zippy though this undoubtedly is, it is slower than some predicted, ruling out some of the more exotic theories of particle physics. But the measurement does confirm there is more asymmetry around than had previously been detected. So, while it cannot fully explain the imbalance between matter and antimatter, it is a step in the right direction.

LOL
Dude kick back, I was just kidding!

I suppose the next logical question would be, bubble-butt girls aside, "Why don't you just go to a college that offers Aerospace Engineering?" and, "Do they have bars on campus?"
-
Oh, phew. I feel much better now. I love driving around the plant on my way to Signal Hill.

I can't find any this stuff on pouplarmechanics.com! Stop making stuff up!

Hey Phalanx, just curious, what college do you attend?

BEST. THREAD. EVAR!!!11!!

A little off topic:
It doesn't carry missiles or have vulcan cannons or anything but...
Long Beach Sends Off Last Boeing 717
I heard this ultimately means the plant will be shut down, which is sad considering its 60+ year history, plus all the folks who've worked there most of their lives losing their jobs.

I read it. It was pretty good from what I can remember.
It's about Eliot Ness's search for the Cleveland Torso Murderer. I saw a special about it (about the Torso Murderer, not the graphic novel) on A&E (I think).
IIRC I think a studio is adapting the graphic novel into a feature film.

JUST STOP IT!!! STOP FIGHTING!!! Can't you see this thread is tearing us apart?!!!

And here I thought the speed of light was 670 million miles per hour. My entire world has come crumbling down. I just don't know what to believe in anymore!

She looks better in this pic.

The same ones who bought a 360 just for the next Halo game and the same ones that will buy the Revolution for their Zelda fix. There's only one thing that the console company really get. Consumer stupidity = More money.
Mr. March, yep! I've not a single reason to 'upgrade' any of my AV equipment. Broadcast TV is crap. Sat. & Cable are nearly as bad and they are gouging the consumer by raising the rate charges.
Goddamn I love capitalism!

When a man loves a woman
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else
He’d trade the world
For a good thing he’s found
If she is bad, he can’t see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down.

Only if it's better than Ridge Racer 6. And even then, not enough to sell me a system.
Who in their right mind would buy a PS3 because of RR7?

What's wrong with her face?

Are kidding me? I mean it was a movie that featured mercenaries named after candy bars for God's sake. How very clever.
I'm not saying "dumb" can't be funny. Hot Shots and Hot Shots: Part Duex were dumb movies but they were funny as well. I'm sorry but Hudson Hawk was just straight up dumb.

I love Eggs Commanchero and a bottle of Corona for breakfast.
The F-24 looks pretty slick. I agree, I'd love for that to be a model or something.
