Sounds like you're accessorized to be a CEO. You just need a digital shave, and you'll be snorting free coke off 100" plasma screen table before you know it!

Crikey. He must be huuuge.

If there was a 'spank Labour' option I'd vote for it. Following Perigo sounds like the 'spank Monkey' option.
-
Publicity stunt? Cry for attention? Fortunately I think the powers that be realise there is not much chance of anyone at all following La Perigo into armed conflict...;-)
LOL, surely he's taking the piss? I mean naming your movement SOLO. I wonder if Linz plays Han Solo in his dream revolution, meaning the guy who bails off in the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy with his big hairy mate? Or is it more of a hand solo? I can just hear him yelling "You're all clear kid, now let's blow this thing and go home".

Plus, it has a monster.
who tears the head off the statue of liberty and uses it as a baseball! Beats just knocking it over or freezing it. Although surely Ghostbusters takes the biscuit for biggest misuse of the SOL, covering it in happy slime and using it to smash into a building, which brings me to:
-Ghosts take over NY. 3 times I think.
-Robots sing into a cellphone camera about killing the humans (set in NY). Or were they Australians? Who cares?Anything to come?
But I would say that. QuickTime these days is really an OS layer, so when you install it in Windows, you're really installing a chunk of MacOS X in Windows. Bound to end in tears.
Don't worry man, I can assure you that any codec upgrade on Windows involves tears. That's why I prefer software with the codecs built in, in a shocking reversal to all the wonderful trends of the last 10 years.
Indeed, it seems to me that the entire paradigm of software sharing libraries is totally flawed. Whatever minuscule and totally unimportant gain there is in library disk space and supposed instant access to improvements across different software is totally overshadowed by the instability introduced by the different pieces of software requiring different versions of the libraries due to having been developed at different times and possibly not kept up to date. I dread every single Windows Update, because it always kills something.
-
when I upgraded to the latest Quicktime (bundled with iTunes), my old QuickTime Pro is gone, and now I have to pay again to upgrade the latest version into Pro.
That sucks. I'm not even sure I want to pay to see the movie. I'm sure I don't want to pay to see the trailer. There's a sneaky suspicion that I'll be seeing more than my fill of this one's trailers.
Ooo forgot more recent NY destruction scenarios:
-Giant ape loose
-Terrorists blow up stuff as cover to rob bankAm I missing any? Gangs, vice girls and P destroy NY?
-
I feel bad for you. QuickTime on Windows seems a bit of a pain.
It's an oxymoron. I love the way the only menu options are greyed out, because they're for paying customers. If the uncrippled product wasn't so crap maybe I would pay.
-
I think Hollywood needs to complete it's symbolism by having NY crushed by a giant Apple with a small bite taken out of the side by Bill Gates, who circles above in Starship Eve. The joke on Microsoft would naturally occur during the Bill Gates sex scene (played by Tom Cruise).

Finn, thx 4 da warn-off. Got a look at it after dling 20MB of Quicktime updates and 20 mins installing, crashing Firefox again, finally IE shows it, but only in a little strip, no maximize button. I'm wondering if this movie is a metaphor for the huge rage that people feel against 'The Apple'?
I guess they can't really show anything being done to the Apple that ain't been done before, so the Blair Witch trailer style is a good option.
Lemme think, in the last 10 years, I've seen NY:
-Destroyed by aliens from the Empire State outwards
-Destroyed by aliens coming up out of the ground
-Pulverised by meteorites
-Knocked over by a colossal tidal wave
-Flooded then frozen
-Beaten up by Godzilla
-Used as a penal colony
-Nuked by a human atom bomb
-Nuked by an actual nuke
-Locked down by the military to catch terrorists
-Taken over by monkeys
-Taken over by gangsters
-Taken over by zombies
-Taken over by boy racers
-Taken over by robots from the future.
-Attacked by actual terrorists (I wonder where they got that idea?)Is NY the token black guy who has to cop it before the horror film ends?
-
And I've been geeking out like a good little virally marketed consumerist drone. I confess.
I seem to have got an immunity going by virtue of not having a Mac. Every time I ever play anything from any format that has anything to do with Apple I get browser crash (Firefox. I'm not even tempted to try IE). Then I ponder whether it is worth updating my codecs to see a trailer. Is 3 weeks of system instability and getting locked out of half of my existing library worth it?
