  1. Akira has been in the works for Years. Imdb has it listed that Leo decaptio as kaneda. Yuk.

    Yeah, I recall hearing about it a year or so ago, but didn't think much of it and I actually thought it got shelved. With all the Watchmen hype though, it seams to have made a resurgence in terms of fans getting excited again.

    Anyway, probably will suk morr

  2. i mean, the actual comic was masterful and expansive, especially in terms of story, perspective and character development; the trailer didn't give us any insight as to how they would approach these things. Some of it looks visually stunning, but I'm interested in seeing how much they are going to try to cream into 2 hours and what will be cut. Does anyone know if this is going to be a one shot deal or are they possibly looking at a series of films (obviously this will largely be left of to the success of this film).

    Also, for those who are interested.... Akira is being made into a semi-americanized live action film due out in 2009. Now that could seriously go either way.

  3. Ronnel had some excellent and insightful advice:

    "Philosophy on fashion

    It’s not about what you’re wearing, it’s about who is wearing it. Dress your role, meaning don’t be some poser dressing in certain styles without knowing shit about it, nor being involved in shit to do with it."

    Jesus fucking christ you weren't lying!

  4. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/look/prefabs-galore-at-dwell-on-design-052769

    apartmenttherapy mostly deals with design, but also has some green articles throughout. Dwell magazine has been heavily focused on green prefab lately. I should have some old issues lying around. I'll try and get some scans if i can find them.

    Either way, there are some cool and lame examples in the above link.

    Gimme...nice links! I'll see if i can add to that collection.

    Edit:

    woah. I didn't know re-nest and apartment therapy were connected? Awesome!

  5. I should really superfuture less and start tending to a garden or something in the back yard. It always amazes me how much fruit and veggies you can produce in a small yard.

    Yeah. I have a little flower box on my back steps filled with several types of lettuce. It grows back so quickly and its really great to be able to pick the leaves i want to use, rinse them and eat them right away. And having different lets me use one or two while letting the other two grow back.

    Also, mint and beebalm are both very easy to grow and take relatively little care, but the leaves make an amazingly refreshing iced tea. The beebalm leaf adds a really unique, but enjoyable flavor.

    It's actually a hotel in Austria called Dasparkhotel.

    Thanks for the name. I'll check it out.

  6. from the previews it looks good. no idea what the story is about though

    something to whet your palette (wiki brief synopsis)

    Watchmen is set in 1985, in an alternate history United States where costumed adventurers are real and the country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union (the Doomsday Clock is at five minutes to midnight). It tells the story of a group of past and present superheroes and the events surrounding the mysterious murder of one of their own. Watchmen depicts superheroes as real people who must confront ethical and personal issues, who struggle with neuroses and failings, and who—with one notable exception—lack anything recognizable as super powers.

  7. vuong, you have some interesting points, but do keep in mind that there are plenty of landfills that do not use the methane for power/simply burn it and there have been many that have gone up in the last 10 years that continue this method.

    Its true that many landfills are used for parks or golf courses, but there is a rather large time gap until the land is usable, which means (and i have forgotten the exact amount of time) the land won't be available for at least 30 years.

    also lets keep in mind that about 50% of the wastes in landfills are paper products, which is probably one of the easiest materials recycled.

    I actually took an environmental themes class for a gen ed requirement and what i gathered was recycling was flawed, but it is the better alternative and, of course, the best alternative is to simply, if possible, reuse the item!

    Again, like others have been saying, lets not bicker, but discuss!
