Leaked Darabont Indiana Jones 4 script

BurgaFlippinMan — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:44:38 +0800

Well, it just leaked today/yesterday depending on where you are. I've obtained the file and just skimmed over it so far.

Firstly, its titled City of the Gods, so that old title rumor was true at that time. Secondly, nearly every major point in Crystal Skull is here like the giant ants, Peruvian lost city, monkeys, fridge nuking, Marion, Oxley, two timing character and aliens. Thirdly, there's a lot of cutesy references to the older films...far more than Crystal Skull. Fourthly, it seems crammed with nearly every character from the previous films such as Willie and Sallah. Fifthly, there's a fighter plane chase, giant snake (think Harry Potter 2 basilisk size) and giant hummingbirds the size of hawks. It doesnt seem that much superior (or different) to Koepp's Crystal Skull on first impressions to be honest, so a lot of ppl (me included) probably owe Lucas an apology for slamming his rejection of it.

Burga - will be giving it a proper read over the next few days

What will Indy IV have to be to satisfy you?

BurgaFlippinMan — Fri, 09 May 2008 22:22:41 +0800

For me, I'll be more than happy if it matches The Last Crusade. Yes, Crusade is easily the weakest of the three movies so far but its still miles ahead of most stuff produced today. Its probably too much to hope for the mindblowing perfection of Raiders or the offbeat genius of Temple of Doom. Even if it does fall a tad short of Crusade, I'll probably be satisfied. How about you guys?

What do you think of Christopher Nolan?

BurgaFlippinMan — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:26:33 +0800

Now, the man sure does make very well constructed movies, but does anyone else think that visually, his movies have a horribly clumsy feeling? I'm not talking about the lighting or the 'look' of the movie, but the intangible feel and flow that is made up of shot composition, camera movement and editing. Compare a Spielberg film to a Nolan film and you'll get the gist of what I'm saying. Any thoughts?

See the announcement here

---
Sinister villains - led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous - are poised to rule the galaxy. But as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala form the front lines of an inter-galactic struggle between good and evil, along with Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka, astonishing new revelations are revealed. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights.

Where does precalculus end and calculus begin?

BurgaFlippinMan — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 11:08:27 +0800

The story is, I'm applying to PennState and I have to fill in this section on how many units I've taken in high school. The thing is, I'm not sure how many units (1 unit = 1 year) of the various math topics I have taken. I've already emailed them (wasn't much help, they just repeated the instructions).

FYI, I took the pure sci stream in Form 4-5 and chemistry/physics/math T in Form 6

Thanks in advance!

This is what the bit in the application form looks like (with my current best guesses filled in)

Now I must admit I'm not one to usually draw (photography is my usual artistic field) but I've been gripped by a sudden urge to sketch the past two days! Nothing more than 10-15min doodles but comments and criticism are welcomed.

Festival of the Lion King

BurgaFlippinMan — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 23:55:56 +0800

OK, first and foremost, I'm lousy at captions.

Anyway, the narrative concept of this show at Disneyland HK is that a festival is held in honor of the (animatronic) Simba and to celebrate it, human actors reenact the 'legend of the Lion King'...with the robot Simba overlooking the whole play from his float..err..Pride Rock.

1. Simba makes his appearance

2. The narrator (who really has some serious pipes) belting out a number (Circle of Life iirc)

3. Simba and the narrator
