Charleston Jew posted:I might just be making things up here, but I'm trying to think of a movie about an English queen, or that has a queen/royalty in it, that came out within the last 5 years or so. I think it's from around the time of Queen Elizabeth, maybe as late as Queen Victoria. And no, it's not The Queen or Marie Antoinette (and definitely not Alice in Wonderland). I guess it could be one of the movies Cate Blanchett starred in but I'm ruling those out for now. The main subject might not be a queen but I have this image in my mind from seeing a clip on a late night talk show of a Elizabethan looking queen, complete with the white make-up and red/purple dress, being all terse and stuffy. Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) had Cate Blanchett as Queen Elizabeth. If you're thinking Queen Victoria then The Young Victoria came out in 2009.

I stilll cannot watch once that chracter is one screen, meaning I have not seen any of those movies.

Tangra posted:I want to figure what fonts were used in Tron:Legacy. I can't fill you in on the specifics on those typefaces (just go to DaFont and find any technical ones, they're more or less the same), though I can give some insight into the rest of it. Tron: Legacy's title, credit and screen design was all done by Prologue. In the recent past, they most notably also did screen design for Iron Man / Iron Man II. I'm fairly certain I was the only one who noticed (  ), but the interfaces in the main Encom boardroom/on the iPad used the same fonts (Looks like FF Din for most of it, but I may be mistaken) and many of the same graphical elements as were used on the Iron Man II displays -- I could tell right away they it was done by the same company. This bothers me.* Though Prologue has been doing quite a bit of screen/hud display (&c), Prime Focus is another contender in the field. Namely: Avatar. These studios do a hybrid of motion graphics** and visual effects**, meaning they're able to take on a wide array of work (commercial, film, etc). Other studios that worked on this film, with what I know of the studios that worked on it / who did what. May be incomplete.
Lest I keep going on, if you've got any further questions / wondering about anything else to do with screen/interface design, toss me a PM. *This blatant laziness is offending. Even if it's done well. Travakian fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Jan 1, 2011 |

The Gundans made him a bombardier general because he was the one who introduced the Naboo princess and the Gundan king, leading to an alliance between the two races. As for why he became ambassador, I like to think they did it to get Jar Jar out of their hair, plus he was the only one of their species with extensive experience interacting with 'outsiders'.

I got pulled over last night on my way home from work. In my defense, it was after a twelve hour shift at a casino and it's 4:30am. I was going 40 in a 45 and drove past a cop that had pulled someone else over on the right side. I was in the right lane. As soon as I passed him, he jumped in his car and gave me a 'Failed to yield to an emergency vehicle' ticket. The ticket was only for $89.49 which isn't my huge concern. My real concern is I have a clean driving record excluding this. Will this ticket affect my car insurance premium? I'm worried because I just acquired my first auto loan and my insurance is already a tad steep.

I don't know if you have a corporate office job or not, but often times they promote people to management positions because they have no legally valid reason to fire them, and they can do less damage in the management position.

So you know how in a lot of songs - mostly pop, it seems - for the final repetition of the chorus or maybe even the final verse they shift the key of the song up slightly? Is there a name for that?

I'm not a music theorist or anything but that wiki says "immediate restatement" which I don't think necessarily applies to what he's talking about. The first thing that came to mind from his post was this song (go to 1:05 and then skip to 2:45 for the regular and keyed up choruses) I dunno though I guess that word could mean that thing too

Damnit, I didn't care and was going to bed, now I must know and am having flashbacks to high school music classes!!

The first thing that came to mind from his post was this song (go to 1:05 and then skip to 2:45 for the regular and keyed up choruses) I don't know if there's really a name for it beyond just "modulation;" to me it seems like they just add that in so they can make the song not seem too short, and ratchet up the emotion (or whatever) just a bit, since that's what modulating up by a step usually does.

That's funny because I was thinking of a Michael Jackson song as the worst example of this but it was "Heal the World". I think he actually does it twice at the end. "Man in the Mirror" is actually an ok song. "Heal the World" is pretty terrible.

good on tv posted:'Failed to yield to an emergency vehicle' ticket. The ticket was only for $89.49 which isn't my huge concern. Depends on your city/state but my guess would be this will almost surely count against you. The only things that I've known of to not count are non-moving violations. A burnt out light, expired tag/inspection, parking and speeding less than 10mph. That's the only one I know of that involves moving that doesn't count here in OK anyway. Your rates won't instantly go up though. Your insurance company has to do a search on you for new violations and if they find one it raises your rate when your next policy starts. They might not do a search before your next renewal (I've heard a lot of companies don't do it every policy renewal) so you might be good for another 6 months after your current expires. If you can find a new insurance company with a good rate right now before you pay that ticket and are able to cancel your current, I don't think they'd see it and they might wait a year before they do another search too. Unless you like have a year-long policy you just started. edit: you might try to go to court too, the worst that will happen is a couple hours lost time and you end up with the same hits to your record you're already expecting. And the best is just with a little talking a judge or ADA they might lower it, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle sounds pretty bad and (in my opinion at least) you're on the very low end of badness of what badness that charge could describe, you really just failed to move left for a stopped one. When I was 17 I got caught leaving 100ft long 245mm black stripes on the ground inside a smoke cloud and just said to the ada something like "someone told me I should come talk to you instead of simply paying this, I don't know what I'm doing or what to say" I got off with paying the full fine but no points.

Let's say I live in Siberia and my brother lives in Alaska. I realized that his birthday was yesterday, and his party was yesterday at 8pm. It's 6am now in Siberia the next day. If the plane flight is two hours, can I still make it to his party? This isn't a thought experiment or something where I know the answer, I'm just trying to wrap my head around time zones.

Its been like 40 degrees (F) where I live, but the heat almost never runs. Is the residual heat from my neighbors (I'm in an apartment) keeping my apartment warm? Or is this place just super well insulated. I had the heat off for two weeks over Christmas break, and when I walked back in from 30ish degree weather outside it was 70 inside

Incidentally, is your apartment over someone else's apartment? Hot air will rise. Also if your windows primarily face south the heat from the sunlight helps too.
