Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Aug 08, 2008 1:30am PDTHows it going folks? Another morning means another article from the Shack and this time Nick looks at one of the most important features in PC gaming, the alt-tab. Here we've got word that Warner Music essentially wants game music to be more expensive. And then in somewhat unfortunate timing, apparently Blizzard is looking for a new Diablo 3 art director.

I need help identifying a movie. This is a tough one. When I was young, I used to go to Zone 1 in Asbury Park, and they used to play the same cartoon movie over and over, every weekend. It was something about these barbarian cro-magnon guys fighting each other, and monsters, and there was this one guy who had white hair and grey skin, and he had some kind of telekinetic powers, and he was using his powers to terrorize all the tribes.
Then there was this guy with a bearskin helmet who ran around fighting against him, and in the end of the movie there was a fight where the bearskin guy was getting creamed by telekinetic grey skinned guy, and then suddenly he glows and does like this lion's roar thing, and cuts grey telekinetic guy in half.
Between the fact that the club music was super-loud, and the fact that I was usually wasted, and trying to talk to girls, I have no idea what was going on with that movie.
It is now 15 years later, and I woke up this morning needing to know: JUST WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON THERE?
If anyone knows what movie this was, please share.
Thx U.

I found the same thing when I bought my MacBook Pro last fall. It wasn't a cheap laptop, but it was similarly priced to a Dell or HP with the same specs. The trick with Macs is to buy them a couple weeks or a month after a new model is released. That way, you get the best bang for your buck and can avoid any initial launch problems.

Starting before the events of the miniseries, our story focuses on familiar characters including Cylon Number One, known as Cavil (Stockwell), Resistance Leader Sam T. Anders (Trucco) and Chief Galen Tyrol (Douglas). In the beginning, the Cylons had a plan, but it didn't account for one thing: survivors.

Is the 1984 movie any good, or should I read the book to get the real deal? I know books are better to get the full story 99.5% of the time, but does the movie do it justice at all?

I'll admit the first season starts out rocky with the first few episodes, but the show quickly finds its place and gets really good. The animation and artwork are really fantastic. And the cinematography is quite awesome. They really make good use of multiple split screens to enhance the action.
And the music is also pretty damn good too. I didn't notice it at first, but now that I have I am actually quite surprised at how good it is.
The show just has a great sense of humor and still maintains an element of seriousness and beauty to it. I'm not sure what other show I would compare it too, but if you enjoy quality animation and storytelling you will likely not be disappointed if you give yourself time to sink into Samurai Jack.
