I don't know much about creating/editing gif animations, but I can think of a way to save a *little* bit of time: Once you've separated the stills, you can create an Action that would uniformly adjust each pic w/o having to edit each one individually. If that would be helpful and you're unfamiliar w...

I listened to it at a record shop and I don't think it's worth buying. Within the context of the movie the song was awesome, but listening to it on its own became extremely repetative and boring. The bass tracks were nice, but the rest of the music seemed a little too bare and the lyrics lost novelt...

Intro/Tokyo,

Have you read any other Murakami stuff? My favorite is Norwegian Wood, but it was a trip reading it after his headier titles.

I'd like to boost this thread, if only in the small hope that the Park Hyatt pics eventually get posted!! :oops:

Maybe if I'm able to collect enough of them, I could turn this into a comprehensive Translation thread. To start, here's the conversation between the two Germans in the sauna (found at IMDB): * "Cardboard! I can hardly eat all this stuff anymore!" * "At first I was really happy ... at first, I thoug...

Questions about the Charlie/bar scene and other translations

I'm curious if anybody knows the French(?) dialogue between Bob and Charlie's friend. also, I'm thinking that the gun the guy had was some kind of rapid-fire bb gun (especially considering the strict laws regarding firearms), but even so, how would it have created that black-light glow effect when f...

Linklater has talked about making Before [...] a series of films that, when complete, would hopefully serve as a rounded discussion about love and relationships. With Hawk and Delpy helping to write Before Sunset, I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one more sequel.

I special-ordered an orange camo shirt from an Army Surplus store for Halloween last year. The fabric was a little stretchier than I would have cared for (not tons), but the print and inside-out see-through was spot-on.

I know I'm 3/4 of a year late in telling you this, but I hope it can help!

Nice summary, hull_street

It's interesting to line that up against the accusations some viewers had that Bob was abusing Charlotte's youth and naivity.

I think success is a subjective thing defined by motivation and intended audience. If I work on a painting purely for myself, only my own satisfaction can bring success. If someone were to make a movie for a niche audience and it was poorly received by a mass audience, the film could be successful i...

I bought the US version of Taiko Drum Master. I bought it mostly to support future releases of creative games stateside and sadly, that remains to be my biggest reason. The songs were definitely aimed at a young (YOUNG) audience and the menu select voice-over was painful. Only 2-3 songs were from th...

I'm still able to get chills after seeing it about 20 times, but and I hope I don't jinx anyone else's viewing experience by saying this, They are apart in a crowd of people and most of the crowd disappears as we see Bob and Charlotte ... except for this one woman. She crosses Bob's path handing out...

I watched Before Sunrise and Before Sunset back to back, seeing both for the first time. Both are great movies. Before Sunrise explores how two young adults find love unexpectedly. Like Before Sunset and LiT, it's full of small details and exchanges that make the events come alive. Before Sunset was...

I used to frequent the forum at areyouawake.org but not having a computer of my own, I never registered. Circumstances are different now and it's great to see a decent fansite back up! I agree with Blades about the trash getting posted at IMDB; It's astounding how some people choose to spend their t...

It's too bad Pizzicato 5 broke up. Of all the music that came out of the Shibuya-kei scene, they were the only ones that really left an impression with me. A lot of fans seem divided on P5's progression. The music started to take a change with Playboy & Playgirl and only became more experimental and...
