- what is it closing for in completed sales on ebay? -- nm - Remlik May 12, 11:31 1
  - sorry I saw the $1200. I would think about it. But I would charge a stupid price for shipping that will include insurance -- nm - Remlik May 12, 11:32
- Don't ship it. I did that for a far less expensive amp to Canada as an accommodation and got nothing but shit aboot it from my buyer - professor smartbrain May 12, 11:27 9
  - +5 Baron points for use of "aboot" -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 12, 11:31

    - Max Delivery - professor smartbrain May 12, 11:32

      - we have a local amateur radio club, but their president is telling me that I have to pay dues/attend meetings for a year before I can sell to the club - amanda May 12, 11:37 2

  - *Ding* We both loved it. It has so much space, and didn't need any work. - Inigo May 12, 11:17
- This one - Will Hunting May 12, 11:10 2
  - That one is awesome, but right on RT. 40. With a 4 year old who likes to run, it was a no go. -- nm - Inigo May 12, 11:15 1
    - Yeah, probably would end up the nudie stores -- nm - Will Hunting May 12, 11:17
- "These are the days of Loveknot Place" -- nm - Max May 12, 11:10 1
  - It would be worth it to be able say stuff like "She can't talk. She's tied up right now." while living there. - Inigo May 12, 11:13
WOOOOOOOOO! A luncheon ended in the next office over; I got cookies and BBQ they didn't come close to finishing. Screw you salad! Thank you God! - Will Hunting May 12, 10:40 2

this story is the worst -- (link) - mud May 12, 10:40 1
- To think, that probably went through several layers of sign-off to happen. -- nm - Will Hunting May 12, 10:42
Regarding that cracked list of CGI stuff that railed pretty hard against Jurassic Park ... how much CGI is in Mad Max? -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 10:29 26
- my friend is an effects producer, a ton of stuff is CGI'd in movies you'd never expect. For instance, she had to have an entire person dedicated to - Andie May 12, 11:12 4
  - Yeah, Cracked had a good photoplasty a while back of CGI used in ordinary scenes. -- (link) - Roger More May 12, 11:51
  - *nod* There are FX houses that specialize in 'invisible' work and work under the super strict NDA's - JD May 12, 11:15 2
    - yep, she's had jobs that were just erasing wrinkles. -- nm - Andie May 12, 11:22

  - smash that pickle revert! -- nm - prayformojo May 12, 11:08
- I'm sure there's quite a bit more than it seems but the stunts seem very practical. -- nm - secretslacker May 12, 11:02 1
  - And there's much less CG than Happy Feet. :) -- nm - secretslacker May 12, 11:02
- There's effects but most of it is erasing rather than imagery. Pretty much all of it starts as practical - JD May 12, 11:01 1
  - That's kind of what I'm thinking, so in a way ... Will Hunting, I think this is one thing that Mad Max has to offer that other flicks fail to deliver. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 11:03
- I think that article just proves Spielberg is a master and most of the hacks now think computers = great - Will Hunting May 12, 10:38
- Someone was railing against 1990s Jurassic Park cgi? Are they insane? It still looks better than most movies released since then. - Max May 12, 10:35 12
  - Jurassic World, sorry. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 10:37 11
    - They should've used stunt dinosaurs clearly. -- nm - Shaun May 12, 10:38 10
      - It's more that as they go to all computers, the realism is lost... - Will Hunting May 12, 10:45 9
        
        I agree and I present a counter argument in favour of Avatar. The CGI used for that makes you forget that it's CGI. - Shaun May 12, 10:49 6
        
        Hell, even the Matrix guys found something innovative and then made it happen in the rules that they set forth. - Will Hunting May 12, 10:59 4
        
        And they actually used a tonne of physical setpieces, like the lobby scene. -- nm - Shaun May 12, 11:01 3
        
        It's part of why I like the new Bonds and not the Brosnan's...the stunts look real - Will Hunting May 12, 11:16 1
        
        Lol to the last one. -- nm - Shaun May 12, 11:26
        
        Yeah, everything looked tangible, if slightly incredible. - Will Hunting May 12, 11:09
        
        Right, There are cases where it fits, but it's usually teams that are damn diligent or certified geniuses. - Will Hunting May 12, 10:56
        
        It all goes to rubber, and the gravitas is lost; it's just stuff happening. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 10:46 1
        
        That's what an educated she said. -- nm - Inigo May 12, 10:51
- Apparently not a ton. There is some, but is getting raves for it's stunt work. -- nm - volnelk May 12, 10:34

- It depends - prayformojo May 12, 11:26
- Yes (long-winded reasoning) - Roger More May 12, 10:56 4
  - For me, under the prevention and rehab headings, I'd view it like this; - Loyola May 12, 11:10 3
    - I think you're letting your imagination get away from you. - Roger More May 12, 11:18 2
      - I'm not relying on any ifs. I'm saying one if is just as likely as any other if. And just because he's been leaving apple pies on people's window - Loyola May 12, 11:22 1
        
        Anyway I have to go. Peace. -- nm - Loyola May 12, 11:35

- "We don't wait for them to grow into full-sized chickens " -- nm - professor smartbrain May 12, 10:11 1
  - lots of egg dishes, I bet -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 10:11
- Sounds ... grilled. Probably not bad, but I've never been to one. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 10:08 1
  - Ah, it's chicken, so probably roasted. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 10:09
- i have never heard of it... -- nm - Andie May 12, 10:08 7
  - Apparently only in Toronto. The prices seems a bit too high. -- (link) - MDH May 12, 10:11 6
    - oh, that's not -- nm - Andie May 12, 10:12 5
      - not 'too high', that's pretty cheap. never been to it though. -- nm - Andie May 12, 10:13 4
        
        In DC, it's close to a "Chix" which is cheaper and you get an additional side, and like 3 doors away from Nando's. I sense it won't last. -- nm - MDH May 12, 10:14 2
        
        But will the DC location have the same prices as the Toronto one? -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 10:15 1
        
        Not sure :-) -- nm - MDH May 12, 10:19
