Jackson ends up telling NO story - just a vomit of computer-guided coloured lights. Sound and fury, signifying nothing...
I was more worried about replenishing Red Vines, than seeing what happened next.
As a result, the money is stolen not from the customers, but from the bank itself.
"Party on, Garth."
Bizarre argumentation. One hardly knows where to begin with your assumptions and red-herring analogies.
To address your first point - with it's ill-considered implications of parity between democracy, capitalism and actual worth or value: Commercial success at this scale simply indicate how thoroughly that vulgarity and thoughtlessness have been cultivated and encouraged by this media-driven culture over the past 90-100 years or so.
When people make "free choices" in such a society, they do so in appalling ignorance, with a maximum of empty stimulation. This is the post-Edward Bernays world.
The vulgarity of this decadent age. So? He rapes the corpse of JRR Tolkien and that's just fine if it earns a bauble and a penny?
That was a case of "resource constraint".
Exactly.
I AM one of those "small musicians and authors".
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it does....
It's actually a tragedy and missed opportunity, that Jackson has so little talent as a director, and so little discipline in telling a story.
I was appalled by how little he regarded the audience - and proportionally insulted his actors - in "Desolation". Huge musical cues 'instructing' the audience of the drama or character development that was supposed to be on screen, at all times. This seems to be because he cannot elicit real performances from his actors.
I might muse that this is because to Jackson, they are not actors - but merely the armatures on which he templates his green-screen composited glory... But to assume that this is the root of his deficiency, rather than another symptom of of his artlessness, would be to succumb to curmudgeonly urges.
The lesson to be taken away is that Jackson should be designing games, not ruining popular cinema.
It appears that - despite the contempt it provoked in my teenaged self - Rankin and Bass actually produced the best ever adaptation of Tolkien, with the greatest respect and truth towards the source text in feel and substance. Perhaps, when we have destroyed the concept of copyright as a tool of corporate greed, another - more thoughtful - filmmaker might use this as a point of departure for a loving and well-crafted "Hobbit".
Really, why do we need anything more than ifconfig and ethtool?
The wireless tools complicate everything. Otherwise? Yes. I'd just edit the interface descriptions in
Microsoft used to give all customer facing employees 5 of these, too. Ingratiating.

Did you ever see Christopher Walken in "Pulp Fiction"?
>The documents DEMAND that the the press DESTROY SONY!
Is this a joke that whooshed over my head, or are you hopped up on something? I'm thinking it's probably the former.
Information wants to be free. Sony demands. Anthropomorphism requires.
