Ponderings For 2008-01-14
- Check out a rundown of some of the biggest new years eve fireworks spectaculars from a couple weeks ago. I’ve always been a fan of Sydney’s fireworks display each year (a copy of it has floated on the net for the last half dozen years or so which I’ve hunted down and watched year after year), and this year’s was OK. Not their best, but still cool. However, London’s was phenomenal. That’s the most impressive, insane fireworks display I’ve ever seen. And that YouTube video doesn’t do it justice. Not by a long shot. I hunted down an HD copy of the BBC-HD broadcast, which is FAR more impressive. However, somebody needed to gag that raving idiot they gave a mic to that nearly ruins the broadcast of the event. I may mess with the audio track on the HD copy and see if I can drop the center channel to take him off it. Seriously, it should be illegal to give an open mic to any of these moronic announcers during fireworks displays.
- Looks like Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has launched with style. I haven’t watched the aired version yet, but I’d seen the rough cut pilot way back when. I’m anxious to check out the final cut, if for no other reason than to check out Bear McCreary’s music score.
- The Japanese are insane: a 33 megapixel “Super Hi-Vision” standard in the works? I may believe they could pull it off eventually, but to be broadcasting by 2015? No way. I’ll believe that when I see it.
- The sequel for Superman Returns has been pushed from 2009 to 2010 due to the strike. Given the other confusions of late as to who will be involved (as opposed to differences in the JLA film).
- Britney just isn’t missing a step on the road to being the lead notorious celeb
- CNet posts an article revealing more stupidity and non-it-getting from the uber-evil RIAA
