[Gungalei]

Some speculate that the technology could even lead to wearable TV jackets, flexible laptop screens, and TV blankets.

Hahaha, I can't wait.

And we thought those digital marquee belt buckles were bad...

Do we really need a new thread everytime someone wants to share a piece of news?

[Galtar's Sanctuary]

A news or current events thread would be useful if people stuck to it. But thankfully we have the 4um hyenas who bitch and hijack every thread they don't like so it's all good

It's usually called Spam!

[olivesrainbow]

Why it is truly fascinating is because it is COMPLETELY ORGANIC.

[karloz]

I guess it will take tooooooo long for seeing those things actually going in our pockets with no problems.

I am in love with Moderator, you are most appropriate. And the moderator loves all members! Oh well, maybe not all of them... //Mod

What would I have to do (or who) to become a part of such distinguished clique? Is that their formal name? 4um hyenas? so chic.

[Moderator]

Good idea. I'll make an announcement within the next few days and merge a few threads maybe. Let's hope the users stick to it!

[Fallen Adam]

Just don't merge the LHC thread. That one deserves to be on it's own.
After all, it is the biggest thing ever!

Iceland has a more robust film industry than you might expect from a small island nation of only 320,000 people, but still, it ain't exactly Hollywood. So when an Icelandic film gains worldwide attention, it's newsworthy.

Such is the case with Jar City, an excellent mystery thriller that Cinematical's Kim Voynar raved about last year at Telluride. It's the highest-grossing film in the country's history, from one of its most successful (and prolific directors), and it won a top prize at the 2007 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

And now it gets the ultimate honor: an American remake! (There may have been sarcasm in the word "honor.") According to The Hollywood Reporter, Overture Films has bought the remake rights and will employ the original writer/director, Baltasar Kormákur, as a producer. No word yet on who will direct the U.S. version, but a writer has been attached: Michael Ross, who wrote Turistas and who THR says is also penning the Near Dark remake.

The Icelandic setting will be changed, of course, to its logical American counterpart: Louisiana. No, really. I'm curious to see how the story transfers, since some of its details relate to the insularity of those small Icelandic communities. Also, I loved that the detective in the original was a total badass despite looking like a nerdy college professor. (That's him in the picture.) I hope they keep that element for the remake. William H. Macy would be perfect.

As far as I can determine, this is the first time an Icelandic film has officially gotten an American remake. If anyone knows differently, let me know. Otherwise, I'm marking this as a historic first for our friends in the North Atlantic.

LOOK, A GOOD FILM! Let's ruin it!

Aterciopelados is one of my favourite bands. I want to share it with you all, because I think the music they make is great and the voice of Andre, the vocalist, is so nice!
I guess the Latinamerican people know them, but I want the others to know them.

Yes. I don't know if you have already seen the video, but there's a video in MTV. I haven't found it in Youtube. It's the soundtrack of a film.
