This is so good!
What's your five best trailers eva?
Mine are (in reverse order):
5. Terminator 2: Judgment Day - My favourite in terms of use of voice-over. The only thing was that it gave away he was 'good'!
4. Lord of the Rings - 'Even the smallest person can change the course of the future'. This first trailer was like, 'I have to wait til next Christmas!!??'
3. Speed - It's seriously an awesome trailer, plus they mix up the order of things so you don't really know the whole plot (even though they show the plane blowing up!).
2. Forrest Gump - Best use of music in a trailer, eva. Somehow the editors of this trailer also knew what images and lines the film would become famous for.
1. Inception - tells you so much about the movie, and nothing at all.
Special mention to this one for Little Children. Awesome, awesome sound design.

English, Doc!
This is a random posting I found about the relationship between Doc Brown and Marty. Pretty cool, right?
The ORIGINAL Marty was Doc's lab assistant. They built a time machine together, went back in time, altered the future, and ultimately Lab-Assistant-Marty was returned back to 1985.
But there was one problem! 1955 Doc knew that the Lab assistant Marty would be returning to Hill valley again in 1985, which poses a problem because a NEW Marty McFly was about to be born in 12 years! He knew he had to make sure that when a kid named Marty McFly was born, by whatever means necessary he had to get that kid to get in a time machine on the exact night the lab assistant Marty would be returning.
But this new Marty was raised by a different George and Elaine, and unlike his original version didn’t end up being interested in science at all. This Marty, the Marty we all know and love, was interested in Rock and Roll instead.
So to make sure the RockandRoll-Marty would go back in time on November 5th 1985, the Doc built a giant guitar amplifier as incentive for RockandRoll-Marty to hangout with him and become his friend. He let the Lybians know exactly where he would be to make sure that Marty would get into the Deloreon and try to outrun them , drive 88 miles and hour, and ultimately go back in time, avoiding the paradox and continuing the cycle or Marty’s.
That’s why Doc stressed to Marty that he had to be there on the EXACT time with the camera and that’s why at the end of the film he repeated the experiment again, knowing that it would have disastrous results, because he HAD to to avoid a paradox.
Ian again: Don't quite get that last bit, but woh woh woh.

Same make, same model, new mission

101 ways to not save Apple
From rc3.org:
Just for fun, in light of Apple’s becoming the most valuable company in the world, I thought I’d take a look at Wired’s June, 1997 cover story 101 Ways to Save Apple. There’s some good advice, some bad advice, and a number of suggestions included to inject some levity into the proceedings.
The best one:
Don’t worry. You’ll survive. It’s Netscape we should really worry about. Nailed it.
