Anyone that has played Street Fighter 3 (but here the audience has suddently considerably reduced) knows that a parry is already hard enough to make, but to parry a Super Move... That's not human.

Animation.
Apparewntly Damon Albarn is planning on making a film with "his" virtual band Gorillaz, in order to conclude the project. So far it's good news, it could be interesting.
But the real amazing news is that he's plannning to do so in collaboration with Terry Gilliam!!!!!!!!!
Now I'm dying to see this.
I read it here (in French). But it was originally from here (in French as well).
News is from the UK magazine Uncut.
Other good news regarding animation, Wes Anderson (Rusmore, Life Aquatic...) is planning a collaboration with Henry Sellick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, but also the animations in Life Aquatic) to adapt Roal Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox.
I'm quite a fan of both of their work, so that sounds yummy! :)

Sout Park goes epic!
A friend of mine got me to watch the South Park episode 10-8, entitled "Make love, not Warcraft".
Well I'm a big South Park fan anyway, but this one is very good and will talk to any geek around, as it's about them. Us then... (^_^;
It sees Stan, Kyle, Cartman & Kenny get sucked into a prophecy that could get them to stop the END OF THE WORLD! (of Warcraft)
Quite to the point, it's partially done with World Of Warcraft's cinematic. Apparently it was done in collaboration with Blizzard. It's always nice to see some big compagnies showing they have humour...
The highlight here is a montage, with the soundtrack singing "Live to WIN!", where you see out 4 heroes get obese and spotty. That's what it takes to kill the one who has no life...
Trey, Matt, I love you guys!

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit
I obviously had seen this last year when it came out in the cinema. But I just got it on DVD and therefore watched it again...
It's such a great movie!
It works on so many different levels and thinking back actually pretty similarly to Chicken Run: it takes a "film template" (but not to parody it) and adapts it to the context. So Wallace & Gromit get their horror movie in a sense, because the references send all back to those old school monster movies (most notably Frankenstein).
Technically, it's a marvel to think that it's all done in plasticine.
The story is great, very well paced and you get that unique Wallace & Gromit blend of cuteness, fun, humour... Where else could you have a police man called PC Mackintosh (PC stands for Police Constable)? :)
Great fun, for everyone (in the true term)!

Subversive activity...
The other day a friend was telling me how she 1st started to use eMule to download a movie and how it turned out to be actually a porn one (so not what she had hoped for).
I think that story happened at least once to anyone using eMule...
As a way of retaliation I thought it could be a good idea to actually rename an innocent movie or clip with some appropriately chosen (and dirty) name.
So I did it.
Got a clip, renamed it (to something appropriately gruesome) and launched eMule. (^_^)
Within 5min someone was already downloading it... I didn't thought it would work that well!

Article de Libe.
This is an article from a French newspaper that my sister has forwarded to me.
It's about how Northern American & European gamers can actually pay chinese people to upgrade their World Of Warcraft characters. All that in very poor "working" conditions & for wages a lot lower than what the "clients" are actually paying...
On one hand it gives work to people over there, on the other the exploitation makes it look quite pathetic. Isn't making your character improve the fun of a game??
Sorry to the English speakers around...

Nerd power.
It is lucky that a few hackers are defending us against all the attempts of corporations to set up some protection system that allow them to force you to use their systems.

Geeky joke.
La programmation expliquee aux mecs:
(Wiz) le private, c'est pour les attributs de la classe.
(Wiz) imagine la variable wiz, instance de la classe homme, qui possède un attribut bite.
(Wiz) Sans le private, n'importe qui peut toucher à ma bite
(Wiz) en faisant wiz.bite
(Wiz) mais si dans la classe homme, on déclare "private bite;"
(Wiz) alors personne ne peut faire wiz.bite à part wiz lui-même
C'est beaucoup plus clair comme ca...
English translation:
(Wiz) private, is an attribute of a class.
(Wiz) take a variable called wiz, instance of the man class, which has an attribute dick.
(Wiz) Without private, anybody can touch my dick
(Wiz) with wiz.dick
(Wiz) but if in the man class, "private dick;" is declared
(Wiz) then nobody can do wiz.dick except wiz himself.
Suddenly it all makes sense!!! (^_^;

Citrouilles ecrasees.
Well, that's a surprise...
The Smashing Pumkins seem to have reformed!!
Then again it might be that Corgan and Chamberlain will be the only ones left from the original formation... In which case they might as well call themselves Zwan...

District 13 / Banlieue 13
Just to say that I've watched District 13 (Banlieue 13, in original version ;) ) and it's... FUN!
I'd say it's a French equivalent to Ong Bak.
As a work of art it's certainly very poor. You got no plot and the acting is... Well.
But who cares when you got enough action with truly jaw-dropping stunts to keep you entertained for the 90something min of the thing! Who needs a Tony jaa??
Great fun.

Children Of Men.
I thought I had missed this one. A movie out for 3 weeks around here isn't that common.
Missing this would have been a shame. The film truly deserves the awards it got here an there.
It's a gripping tale of redemption, set in a not-so-far future. Sci-Fi it isn't. Everything this movie describes resonnates with today's event and make the whole thing scarily believeable.
The movie keeps you on your toes at every scenes, by mixing moments light comedy with moments of intolerable cruelty. You could laugh at one moment but never know if you're not going to cry at the next. Not many films manage to do that right...
Alfonso Cuaron's direction is spot on, keeping a gritty feel, between concrete and dirt. The audience is kept close to the characters, at the heart of the action, with this feeling that in this world gone mad, death could strike at any moment. And it does.
The cast is very good. Clive Owen stands out as the lead, with a very nuanced performance, transforming convincingly the original cynicism of his character into the reckless bravery as he finds himself hoping again. But the rest deserves praises for all those characters, neither good nor bad, just human, desperate, capable of the worst or the best.
All in all, a film that shows how humanity is lost without hope, but that ultimately hope can suddenly reappear inexpedtedly even in the ones that are lost.

It seems some scientists over at Duke university have built an invisibility cloak!!!
Invisible to microwaves, that is... ;)
But they say invisibility to human will be feasible, in the future...
