ah, yes i've heard about the kafuffle there is because there not using the same model cars/trucks/veichles as in the original cartoon. The people making the film decided that they didn't want it to seem outdated so they've upgraded them to the equvilant models of today, rather than yester-year. If any of that makes sence then good, otherwise just be polite... smile and nod whilst thinking 'omgwtfbbq' Black Flat

Eek, i gotta start reading closer, thats actually a general list many of those artists are from Australia, but most are just general. Nena - Germany i believe Goldfinger - Germany i believe Mike Oldfield - (not 100%) English Eskimo Joe - Australian The Killers - no idea Jet - Australian Blink 182 - American Lily Allen - no idea The Decemberists - no idea Regina Spektor - i believe Australian Wolfmother - Australian The Fray - no idea Greenskeepers - no idea Lordi - The won Eurovision, so Europe somewhere The thread's creator, say the word and my post is gone... Black Flat

Very much so, i'm definantly watching both of them, i hadn't actually heard of the 300 until it was mentioned earlier in this thread gotta say though the idea of having to sit through 2 hours of men with no shirts.... daunting, if they could atlead have a toga or something... Also Live free or die hard (i've been ignoring looking into this movie because i was so annoyed that they had used die hard in the name until recently that i found out that its die hard 4, i cant believe that i didn't hear that it was coming out) I would also like to mention how happy i am at the flop that is Eragon, LOL, i have been slinging sh!* at that movie for month's saying how its a discrace and how it will flop and it has and nothing could make me happier. Well maybe seeing a movie that doesn't have Hugh Jackman in it... (Not insulting Hugh Jackman i believe he is a great actor, i mean he's wolverine... But the man is in everything) BLASFOMY (i think i spelt that right) but seriously the Transformers graphics are top notch, go on apple.com/trailers (i believe thats the site it may be a bit off...) i mean optimus prime transforming the in city street looks phenominal. Black Flat

OMFG how could it have not been mentioned yet? Nena - 99 Luftballoons Goldfinger - 99 red balloons (on the same note as Nena) Mike Oldfield - Tubular bells Eskimo Joe - Sarah The Killers - Bones Jet - Shine On Blink 182 - Stay together for the kids/Pathetic Lily Allen - Alfie The Decemberists - O Valencia Regina Spektor - On the radio Wolfmother - White Unicorn/Mother The Fray - How to save a life Greenskeepers - Lotion (It rub's the lotion on its skin, or its gets the hose again - classic) Also - Lordi - Would you love a monsterman, i like the song (dont love it) but just the pure stupidity of it, its billiant. Black Flat

The technique used was absolutely briliant, it really add's to the movie, rather than just using a special effect for the sake of using it. Keanu Reeve's acting, well theres only one word for it - "woah" Robert Downy Jr. incredible acting Winona Ryder, not so much, although it didnt seem as though the acting would have taken too much for her role. But i feel as though Robert Downy Jr. really nailed the part along with Reeve's. As for story line, although it parts it left you a bit dry and wondering the entire story came to a great conclusion leaving no loose threads (theres nothing worse than a movie that leaves you hanging) Overall - 9.5/10 - The movie is amazing (it's a real shame that the movie wasn't bigger and better publicised because i loved it) Black Flat

As good as the Predator and Alien heads look, i dont know how anyone can justify spending that much money on dvd's, for example the predator head is $280 AUD, i mean for 3 movies that you can pick up for a tenner each, hardly seems worth it, and i havn't seen a alien head for a LONG time. Ah to have money to splurge like that, i've gotta get myself a plasma for my bedroom (im sick of having to walk all the way to the lounge to watch a movie) before i worry about things like those. Black Flat

This movie is aweful, but i do disagree with most people. I dont think that it's often enough that a random bunch of people burst in to well coreographed song and dance routines, seriously when did i miss that class in school. And i think that it's fairly obvious the quality of movie it is when you watch a single scene of their dreadful acting why this movie never made it to the cinema's, it's fairly obvious (or atleast i hope) that these people were dancers/singers before they were actors/actresses because if not, they are going to have a short lived career. The cold hard truth. Black Flat

Any movie with a date TBA, hasn't been announced yet, only speculations can be made with knowledge of how far along the movie is as well as how long the movie is held for (post production). I am making the assumption that Rambo IV will come out around the 21st of december 2007, if not then, then i presume the date will be about the 25th of May 2008. btw although the majority of those movies are sequal's there are a few select ones that arn't. And the reason i believe that these movies are the most likely to take off is because currently the biggest movies are sequal's or movies based on comics/graphic novels (i presume that in the next couple of years about 75% of the big movies, 100M plus, will fall under one or both of these catagories) Black Flat

I'd like to add Will Smith's upcoming 2007 movie to my list. It's virtually guarenteed to be sucsessful due to his consistancy for only taking big roles in movies that he loves. The movie is called I Am Legend and is due out 21/09/07, co stars include Salli Richardson and Smith's daughter Willow, 6. (The Pursuit of Happyness comes out in australia virtually in 2007, and so i'll add that to my list, a drama based on the life of Christopher Gardner, with his son Jaden, 8, as his co-star.) Black Flat

Your half right, i didn't put the simpsons movie on my shortlist because IMO it's not a movie, it's a movie length episode. The fox bigshots should have let the simpsons die out gracefully 2 or 3 years ago instead of turning it into this dreary humor lacking half hour dribble that they are producing now. Not wanting to rip on the simpsons too much as i do love the show (in earlier seasons) it should never had been pushed towards the big screen, as Matt Groening (excuse the spelling i do not know how to correctly spell his name) once said "my goal is to make 365 episodes and call it quit's, and episode a day for every day of the year, no more, no less" Black flat

Most of the band's i like are pritty comercial but to name a few: Blink 182 (mainly their early work in chesheir cat and buddah excuse spelling) The Killers, The Darkness, Lordi, Gnar, HIM, The Decemberists, i dabble in a bit of Ragina Spektor and Lily allen too. Black Flat

Well i've compiled a short list of what i believe will be the biggest movie's of 2007, and i wanted to know what you were looking forward to most in 2007. Here is the short list of the big upcoming 2007 movies : Next - 28/09/07 Alien vs. Predator : Survival of the Fittest - 21/12/07 Castlevania - TBA Day of the Dead - -/04/07 Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 15/06/07 Resident Evil : Extinction ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 21/09/07 National Treasure 2 : The Book of Secrets ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 21/12/07 Rambo IV : Pearl of the Corba ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ TBA Rush Hour 3 ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 10/08/07 Sin City 2 ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ TBA Stir of Echoes: The Dead Speak ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ TBA Transformers ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 04/06/07 Shrek the Third ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 18/05/07 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 13/07/07 Pirates of the Caribbean: At WorldÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s End ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 25/05/07 Spider-Man 3 ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 04/05/07 Basically i want to see all of the above (with the exceptions of National Treasure 2 and rush hour 3) All will surely be huge movies (i expect each of these movies to blitz the 100 million mark with the exception on Next, adapted from the book written by Phillip K. [bleep] and possibly the stir of echoes sequal) So reiterated once again, what are you looking forward to in 2007? It doesn't have to have made the quick shortlist that i've compiled or even have to be a big movie. Personally i'm most looking forward to Next and Castlevania shortly followed by Sin City 2 as i'm a HUGE frank miller fan along with Day of the Dead. Black Flat

My attempt, like evilperson i spent around 20 minutes on this... I'm happy with it and i dont really wanna over do it... Great photo by the way. Black Flat

If you let me know via pm what you need other people to do i'd be more than happy to try and accomadate. Black Flat

Well i am possibly the strangest person in the world so i'll describe my dream here as it would take far too long to draw... Just to get this straight at the start, i am a 18 year old guy read on at your own discression... There I was walking down the street talking to a freind of mine (female), la la la la la, turn to talk to her AND SHES TURNED INTO A ZOMBIE... i got all freaked out so i started running when i bumped into some of me other mates (male) told them what happened and they freaked, then I ran into a few other girls and it turned out every girl in the world had turned into zombies... So i made a run for the nearest house, broke the door down and ran inside, soon about 5 girls (all friends of mine) all followed me in, well it turns out that movies are wrong, zombies dont like to eat brains, infact they dont like to talk, have a sook or watch chick flicks either... all they wanted to do is cook, bring me beer, watch tv with me and well... achem..... so turns out movies are wrong, zombies dont want brains they want... to make men happy. would take far too long to do in paint, i may turn it into a comic book one day... Black Flat

lol buddy christ is awesome, btw dogma (in which buddy christ is introduced) is not a catholic movie, nor is it kevin smith (writer and director) symbolizing theire religeousness... It is a dig at christianity, their morals and values... This is exactly why I took buddy christ out of my sig, buddy christ is not meant to be a religeous symbol, but a dig at the entire religeon... Now onto the picture... If you want to get good at something (as people have said) practice, practice, practice... Draw 20, 30 even 50 hands, seriously if you look at the first one then the last one you will see how quickly you become a better artist... The best advice i can give you, get about 10 pictures, set them down then get a timer (an egg timer, you phone, a watch whatever) and honestly (you'll only be cheating yourself if you dont no-one else will care) spend 10 minutes and draw that photo, start out very simple, and get harder. 10 minute speed drawings are litereally the best way that you can improve. My teacher instructed me to do it for over 3 years before i took her adice, my skilled doubled easily after about 30 drawings... Within' 6 months of only being able to draw stick figures, i was drawing anatomy and doing life drawing classes at the top of the class... You have to sit down and devote a few hours to drawing. Not a bad picture, keep it up, i'd love to see some amazing drawers on tip.it, there arn't enough (that show any work atleast) Black Flat

I have to agree with H 789789.... the eagle doesn't match the background. i think that the griffin is a good drawing, and the background looks good (not too sure about the scan lines, try lowering the opacity by half..) also the fact that you blacked over part of the griffens wings... An iffy job, im not sure how i feel about it, its not a hate and its not a love, i'll leave it at that. btw here it is resized Black Flat

In year 8 I actually tried to do something 'similar' to this on regular paper and it held up quite well...... for about 2 seconds..... btw by similar to this I mean I was a kid with a spray can doing more harm than good. Anyone that Is interested in doing this kind of this a few bits of advice... Spring the 2 bucks to get a mask, your lungs will thank you when your 30, trust me i've been working around chemicals since i started work (all those 3 and a half years ago) and i've regreted not wearing a mask, really does suck when you go to the doctors and they tell you that you've knocked 15 years off your life... as corny as it may sound, start saving those jam (or for you silly ol' yanks (no offence intended) jelly) and peanut butter jar lids, they make for great stencils. Cheap spray paint not your freind, the difference in quality is amazing, buy cheap stuff expect what you pay for, pay expencive get quality... Personally i would go for around middle of the range, expencive can be over-rated and cheap well they can last about as long as a cookie in a little fat boys hand.. dont think your a pro immediatly, so expect to screw up.... quite alot actually. DONT DO IT ON THE SIDE OF SOMEONES HOUSE OR CAR FFS, i swear if i have one more little [cabbage] spray something on my car i'm gunna snap. Also if you have spray painted on the side of my car, i know where you live and im paying you a visit with a large and very solid bat...... for those not as bright as others, it'll go across the side of your head...

[Admin Edit: Instead of spam/flaming try using the report post function next time ~Alduron] wow congradulations, you get todays official award for the most [bleep]ed up thing said today. honestly of what relevance did your post just make... (wow i worded that terribly.... typing is easier than hitting backspace... i'm still going... i'll quit while i'm ahead) [On Topic] The flash idea i believe is great, and for once i'm seeing some good buddies. This may prove to be very nicely done. Black Flat

Well i must say that they are well worth the 11 seconds it took me to download. I'm not sure that i will use any of the effects, but the other ones may prove to be handy... either that or i'll save up and buy c4d... the ones that i particularly like are C4D003 C4D007 C4D009 C4D0012 Nice little pack although somewhat lacking in size, hope to see more from you. Black Flat

its poster board.... You know high quality high gloss magazines... Imagine the front covers about tripple thickness, that is poster board, they get a huge sheet and they cut it into squares. Btw commonly used as a 'scratcher' as you say, is actually a ball point pen, not too sure what this guy used... But a ball point pen on wet spraypaint gives that same effect. Black Flat

very nice, but if this was done by you it isn't an original idea. These have been floating around since people were commiting suicide out of fear of Y2K... if you did make it, a nice execution. By the way ive been on your website (hodge.co.nz) and i am very impressed by your 3d tallent. I truely do wish that I had the money to create a prototype hawk motorbike with your designs because I think that if mass produced they could be the next big thing... Unreal work. Black Flat

PJB i couldn't disagree with you more, the greatest art of all time was done under the influence... Look at Picaso, he had to be smoking something Anything that came out of the 70's ...Anything that came out of the 80's for that matter... and the 90s... and now.... Personally i'm not into drugs, but come on, whats funnier... A guy that just painted a serious portrait of king ralph the 12th... Or a stoner thats painting a turtle with a coke can for legs and a banjo for a shell thats dying of laughter... Next time your insulting the use of drugs, just think how great it is, when you get to enjoy stoners, and laugh at them oh so much... Black Flat

I never realised that there was fellow triple J fans on here... Ne who on topic, i really look forward to this new album, havn't heard too much fuss about it so i am really pesimistic (i believe that is the spelling, although don't quote me) I will buy the album, im seriously hoping that its good as i did like their last album. Although i am expecting a dud, much like Blink 182 getting big, they were a great band then people started liking them, then suddenly were stuck with a bunch of pop tracks that suck. Black Flat

incredible, i love it. Still as Vito_Blade says your current is better. But wow, just a phenominal sig. If there was something wrong with it i would be the first one to say, but nothing. 10/10 just awesome. Black Flat
