also this weekend, the totally MF DOOM FRIENDLY:

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah - New 35mm print!
21:00, Sat Nov 13
Director: Kazuki Omori
Japan 1991, 102 min, 35mm

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is one of the most controversial of the Godzilla films for taking a thinly veiled stab at American imperialism and Japanese affluence. Futurians from the 23rd Century (almost all Caucasian) travel back in time to remove Godzilla from history. They say their intentions are to protect Japan from destruction but their true motive is to prevent Japan's rise to economic supremacy. Once the Futurians have the Japanese people believing they are safe from Godzilla, they unleash King Ghidorah and demand Japan's surrender. But Godzilla lives to do battle with the evil King Ghidorah and then the human-controlled Mecha-Ghidorah. This film offers a rare opportunity to see Godzilla be both the good guy and the bad guy in back-to-back scenes.


any takers?

mickie and a movie!!!!!!

*cough
a select few of you may be interested to know that cheapo theatre, Cinema City 12 is now screening both Wimbledon & Resident Evil: Apocalypse

i read an excellent article over the weekend in an old issue of the New York Times Magazine that concerned Creative Commons. it's an intriguing concept, but definately not one without debate.

Creative Commons is a rad alternative to copyright. I'd suggest you check it out if you're ever thinking of copy-protecting something. I for one would use it with my music (if I ever got off my lazy ass and produced any).

Speaking of music, right now I'm listening to this record I bought a few weeks back called "Everything you Ever Wanted to Hear on the Moog". Even though I picked it up for like a buck-fitty, it's possibly one of the best records I own. It's SOOO good. ENTIRE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAS OF MOOOOOOOGS!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! I could listen to this shit forever and ever.

Not to mention the sound quality on this album is stellar. I really feel like I'm watching a live orchestra while listening to it (except I'm in my room). INCREDIBLE.

Someone was asking me about copyrights in Canada recently (I think it was Peter, but I could be wrong.) The Copyright Board of Canada is a good place to start. For more pertinent information, including what happens to that digital media levy, the Canadian Private Copying Collective is another good place to go. These are the people responsible for collecting and distributing the levy on digital media.

A "private copy" is a copy of a track, or a substantial part of a track, of recorded music that is made by an individual for his or her own personal use. A compilation of favorite tracks is a good example of how people typically use private copies. In contrast, a copy made for someone else or for any purpose other than the copier's own use is not a private copy. Nor is a copy of anything other than recorded music.

Well got hammered by the hardest midterm I'll probally write this semester... Not feeling to good about the results right now. This isn't directed at anybody except the Mec E department...

Well what am I going to do?

Glossary of Mathematical Mistakes. They're not all really mistakes, but statistical tricks that people use to fool themselves or others.

What the Bleep was interesting, but I'd agree that taking advice from Ramtha on how quantum mechanics allows me to control the shape of the raindrops flying by my head as I fly to work is a bit far-fetched. The imdb comments are interesting, though. On the plus side, though, it's inspired a new title...

Oh, and an American dollar now costs less than $1.20. I remember the good old days, when you could make jokes about how an American dollar could buy you a Tim Hortons... now it can barely buy a coffee.

Okay, so there's actual physicists on the movie, but they make up less than half the people interviewed...
and I'm not sure I'd want to make a break-down of how much screen time physicists vs others got... would be interesting

he's one of them though... who'dve guessed with that hair and sweater, eh? ;)
