Good evening peeps, on a few of my other forums I know I like to sit and talk abut the movies that come out, typically because friends and myself alwatys goto midnight showings because, well, it's way more fun and i'd like to start it here with what was the BEST movie of the summer, year, or decade for all i care lol.
The Dark Knight, the new batman movie, was amazing IMO....best movie i've seen in SO long. it was really long whicih only helped the situation, finally a movie that can have everything take place without skipping around to speedin things up. it was in my opinion by far a great movie and definitely a 10/10 + everyone should see it. christian bale was great, and heath ledger played the joker flawlessly IMHO.
We went to the midnight showing at Emagine Theatre in Novi, Michigan and they sold out 9 theatres for midnight showing..
just amazing...what do u guys think? can't wait for the next....the penguin? or mr. freeze w/ Arnold lol ;-)

You are absolutely off-topic my friend....

errrrr...Why So Serious?
I saw it opening night. It is one of, if not the most, amazing movies I have ever seen. It's has action, comedy, whit (and a lot of it, a lot of people probably won't understand much of the meaning), and it's also a bit dark, which made this movie really good. Go see it!!!
Im in Italy, still DarkNight not in theatres
... but i think i will NOT go to first plays: too much crowd. Maybe i'll wait 1-2 week, then go with dochinka maya
Good movie...was it the best action movie ever? No. It was too long in my opinon but Heath Ledger did the Joker justice and made old Jack's take just laughable. All I kept thinking while watching it was, "when is Joker going to show up again?".
Yeah, the Joker was nice and creepy. Only thing i couldn't get was batmans scream/speaking. it always threw me off. 9/10...
ace film joker didnt bother me at all!!!! good old jack was better i feel. but harvey two face totaly stole the show for me!!!! was such a good film after gettting 13 forgian language students kicked out for talking and playing with phones still the best film since last bond.

Jack's role in Batman w/ Keaton was good
But you have to understand that "The Dark Knight" is based entirelt off the DC comics. The original Batman Movies, while taking elements of the DC comics, still were in a League of there own. You can see the differences in the Characters as well as the story line. 2-Face in the origianal Batman story was burned by Sulfyric Acid during a trial, as in the new one it was a gas burn after the explosion
Heath's role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight" is based off the comic " The Killing Joke". If you read the comic you will see that Heath nailed the role 10/10 and thats why its a shame he died because he deserve all the credit for playing such an amazing role. You can see that he plays the role from this comic because of "wanna know how I got these scars?" In the comic, everytime he said that he had a different story each time.
Jack's role as Joker in The first Batman movie w/ Keaton was also perfect if you compare the character to the conventional Joker.
I think both Jokers were played perfectly but they're hard to compare because they're based off of different Jokers.
All in all the movie was great, except for when Christian Bale talked as Batman, talk about annoying. Nobody did it better then Michael Keaton, but nobody has done it worse the George Clooney LOL
in the terms of l33t american teenagers
the movie was "the -

Heath carried the movie alot for me
and not just because he died
because he was less silly then the old series or the old movie
more dark like the new movies
and i only felt i could recognize him in few shots in the movie
and thats a point for acting i guess

i know it has been based on that but i felt it wasnt right for me. plus i felt being a 12 a in the uk was stupid children for any age under 18 maybe get away with a 15 should not be seeing people make pencils vanish using some ones face.
dont get me wrong i loved the film will be going to see it again but i prefure my nutters to almost be normal and have a sens of humility in them so when they do the really nasty stuff its alot more shocking. for instance it would be alot more of a shock if say g w bush let lose on a crowd with an uzi than some nut job (oh w8 g w bush is a nutter ok say brad pitt)

Hey guys.
Been wanting to put this thread up for a long long time now.
So yeah, here i'm. I have always been wondering if there are any other aviation buffs like me around on XDA ?
If you like planes/airports/pilots do post and let us all know !
If you are a diecast collector/pilot/AME/spotter or just love aircrafts do post here.
We can start a kind of a discussions.
Hope there are a few out there.
Cheers
I am! I love aviation!
I was planning to follow some sort of job within aviation in the future, but I've now decided against it (To damn expensive...)
But Im still working on my PPL! Few hours under my belt
I'm an aviation enthusiast!
How do I know this? Well, I'm pretty much the only one of my mates who knows that every plane in the sky is NOT a 747, or that airbus ISN'T literally a flying bus...
Oh, and this plane: http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/su27/images/su27_2.jpg makes me weak at the knees...
I am rapidly becoming a greater enthusiast... I work for Boeing at the Everett, WA plant building 747's

Nice man ! that would be Paine field ? You get to see some 788s rollout every day ! That is nice ! What's the progress on the 748s ? You can actually become our secret source within Paine filed
What job do you do at Boeing ?
I do work on the 747-8 in the main factory, which is just north of Paine field. I work in final body join, where they actually assemble the sections of airplane. The crew I work on installs landing gear, flaps and fairing panels. Its pretty boring assembly work, but it pays the bills.
In Boeing news today, the first 747-8 Intercontinental is being joined... you can probably see it if you google it... All other news no one will really care about. And I have been able to see a bunch of 747's, 787's, 767's and 777's leave the factory. It happens every week. The coolest part of working in the main factory is the shear size of the building. It is freaking huge... the largest by volume in the world!

That's nice to know ! But IMHO 748 is pretty darn ugly ! Look at 77Ws or 788s or the A388 they are sooo much better looking !
Actually i have never been a part of the 74X family !
Wow man ! Can you please get us some pictures ? Would be nice to share on the aviation forums i'm on.
How about the test flights they must be fun to watch.
Do you see any Air India dreamliners or 77Xs on the assembly ?
Thanks man.

This is the PHOTOGRAPHY thread, where we talk all things photography gear wise, composition wise and other stuff wise. This is not the Random Image thread. That is HERE!!!!!!.
_____________________________
Photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an image sensor.[1] Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure. The result in an electronic image sensor is an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing.

So as none of you know, I'm a photographer, and lately I've been into time lapses. If you don't know what it is, it's a bunch of photos taken over a period of time (lets say 2 hours) the put together as a really fast slideshow, for example with each frame showing in .1 of a second, which gives you animations. In this thread, I shall post these time lapses, did one yesterday, and doing one today, just finishing up.
To tell you the truth, I just want more YT views, but you enjoying it is a plus, and make sure you watch it full screen in 1080p
I love time lapses! It's just amazing to watch a full day go by within minutes from photographs. I wish I had the patience to do time lapses but unfortunately for me, I do not have the time. Anyway, I can't wait to see more
This one if from today. I'll try to make a whole day one through my window on friday, starting at 12am, and ending at 11:59PM.
Have fun doing the whole day one! I should probably get out and start shooting again. :/
Anyway, I like the fact that they just go from clear blue skies to a dark blue night

Twilight hour is the best time for shooting...at least for me. (http://flic.kr/p/9ztJh1)
I wonder how my parents will take it. The window overlooking the street is where they sleep. lol.
Now that I think about it, the view sucks from my window :/. Guess I'll have to wait till I'm in Poland, the view is a bit more pleasant, and at night we will see the stars
Twilight's always nice and I like that picture especialy. I usually like going out at night more but I don't bring my DSLR with me when I'm out and downtown but I'm way too paranoid of someone running into me and yanking it away... it's quite nice downtown since there's a harbour front and lake shore. Get the stars! I haven't seen any stars since like 10+ years ago. Haha, the view from my window... is to my backyard, nothing interesting going on there!
I'm sure you can get some good Sunrise/sunset images from your backyard, depending on wether you get a view of east or west. Living in NYC means I barely get to see stars, and if you had me on facebook, you would see how excited I got about seeing stars in the time lapse. lol. When you search my flickr, you will find some startrails I took 2 years ago in Poland. But that was with the XSi, now that I have a 7D, I'm sure I'll get better results
Very nice man.
Check out this guys work to see what to aspire to...

Haha, yeah the sunrises from my backyard definitely look nice. I don't see stars in Toronto either, it's mostly like just those dark nights with nothing except building lights and trees in the way. I have a cherry tree in my backyard so it's hard to get a picture especially if I'm on the second floor. I haven't seen stars since I was in 7th grade. I'll check out your flickr in a bit

That's what I hate about living in the city. We barely see stars due to the light pollution. Which is why I can't wait to go to Poland. I know of one spot where I can sleep in a tent and have it shooting the whole night.

^ It's okay, it's not a problem... I had an origami problem a few months ago. I couldn't get out of it until I ran out of paper. I had a drive home from work just a few moments ago and the sunset was amazing! It was a full bright orange circle I was like OPPORTUNITY MISSED. I looked out my window a few minutes later, it's like NO SUNSET. I'd stay up and take pictures of a sunrise if I could see it through my room but maybe I'll wait for a beach trip.

Yeah, I was watching an Aurora Borealis time lapse video earlier in the day, it was so pretty but until I'm done with school and saved up, all my trips will have to wait, sigh, a few more years to go and all done. How's the current time lapse?

New one from today
Yay for another video. I like all of them, there isn't one that I don't like. I'm more of a city girl than anything I just adore buildings and streetlights. thanks for the new video. Sunset and twilight are always really pretty. How many times lapses are you planning on making?
My new favorite show, and no, haven't read the books yet, so please keep spoilers to what we've seen over 9 episodes, with the finale this Sunday.
Anyway, thought I'd start off with a bang. If you know who died in the last episode, witness the greatest fanboy rage display of all time and the coining of one or more new memes/catchprases.
Warning! Foul, racial language, and also IMO painfully funny:

Who's looking forward to Sunday?
I usually watch the latest episode on Monday night, along with Treme. It's my second favourite night of the week after Friday!
Game of Thrones didn't really grab me at first but i'm certainly hooked now. I'm sure as good as it is that it loses a lot in translation from the books though.
Game of thrones +1
Hell yeah luv that show
Ok, I have downloaded almost every single episode, but I was too stuck at studying to watch it. After seeing all these reviews, I definitely have to watch.
And for the benefits of out-dated people like me, no spoilers please.

Great Series. HBO kills the networks. True Blood, Curb Your Enthusiasm............
By far my favorite show of all time. After the season finale tonight I will be picking up the books and hopefully finish them before the second season starts.
Noooooo. No spoilers here, but all I'ma say is, they do a good job of gainin' hate for the Lannisters. Grrr, go Stark!
THE KING IN THE NORTH!
Wow. What a finale. Can we time travel to 2012 Spring already please? I am tempted to say much more but for now I'll leave it at this: must. read. books. now.
I haven't been this amped for a new season since 24.
Best death of the season was definitely the golden crown.
My stepdad just bought me the 4-book paperback box set for a present. He's so cool. Now I'm racing people to be ready for book 5 which gets released in a few weeks. Damn, I hope it doesn't ruin watching the series..."you die, and you, and you.." ;-)
