Came back from seeing WALLE today. Excellent film, clearly on par to Pixar's high standards, but not quite on the level of greatness as their last few outings. Loved the "silent film/brevity of words" aspect of the movie, and the animators did a great job at expressing the robot characters through their actions and minimal voice dialog. WALLE himself is adorable, and while I'm not one who actively praises "female empowerment" in films, EVE makes for a wonderfully strong heroine figure. The love relationship between the two thankfully worked so much better than I anticipated. There's definitely an anti-pollution message in the film, which although never gets to the level of preachy, does leave an unmistakably potent mark. Also, kudos to the nifty 8-bit pixel renderings of the characters during the end credit roll.
Sadly, I didn't find Thomas Newman's music score all that memorable. There's a slightly unsettling space-fantasy main theme that runs from time to time, along with some tender moments for WALLE and EVE and the appropriately bombast cues for the action sequences, but nothing I left the theater with. In fact, the song most remembered is the Michael Crawford track "It Only Takes A Moment" from the "Hello Dolly!" film, which persists in making itself the actual main theme of WALLE.
Right, so it's time once again to update the ol' Pixar ranking:
1) Monsters, Inc.
2) Ratatouille
3) The Incredibles
4) Cars
5) Wall*E
6) Toy Story
7) Toy Story 2
8) Finding Nemo
9) A Bug's Life

Yeah, that's gotta be weird. I know she probably doesn't remember a thing.
Speaking of cute kids, I've taught my daughter a couple of lines from "Rhythm Tengoku," mostly the four guys in a line (these guys) and she does it way cute. I'm trying to get her on video so I can upload it, but you know 2-year-olds...
By avatar! (Jul 01, 2008) (#6)
Most of Pixar's films are enjoyable, but I feel they're all kinda the same. Mostly in terms of characters. I feel they're all very similar and the stories are not that unique, despite different genres etc. When it comes to animation, I'm totally an old school fan. I'm not a fan of computer animation and feel that Pixar and other companies can not even come close to the beauty of original Disney movies such as The Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland, etc. People are welcome to disagree with me if they want, but I know there are lots of others out there who do agree with me! Anyway, despite my complains, I'm not saying Pixar's movies are not fun, I'm just saying they're the same thing over and over again... kinda like the rehashing of Final Fantasy. As long as people enjoy it and they make a nice profit, of course you're going to see the same thing in different forms.
ps I'm sure Angela for one (and others) totally disagrees with me, but that's OK, we're all entitled to our opinions

Is it really necessary to end your posts with this disclaimer? I think we're all very much aware that we're entitled to our own opinions. ;)
Anyway, regarding "old school" animation versus computer graphics animation, it's perfectly cool to prefer one medium over the other, but I don't feel it's right to pit them against one another. I would imagine that those of us who were born before the CG boom (that should be most of us here) have an innate appreciation for hand-drawn animation, as well as the classics that utilized the medium. There's an untouchable quality with 2D animation that simply can't be replicated otherwise. By the same token, CG animation has come a long way, and taken massive strides at not only looking impressive, but also telling solid stories that, truthfully, probably wouldn't come off being nearly as effective an experience in 2D as in 3D. I believe that one can appreciate the technical merits of 3D animation just as much as 2D, and for those of us who dig both mediums, well, more power to us.
Not quite seeing the argument of "sameness" in Pixar movies, though. True, they all share the same kind of moral-driven center (this is Disney we're talking about), but the worlds, characters and underlying plots between each film are all so inherently different from one another that I find it difficult to pinpoint direct correlations between, say, monsters trying to get a little girl back to her world, a rat looking to make it big as a chef in Paris, or a love relationship between two robots spanning galaxies.
By oddigy (Jul 05, 2008) (#8)
I just saw this film for the first time yesterday, and I was fairly entranced by it.
Writing movie reviews has never been one of my specialities, but I can say that the post-apocalyptic environment throughout the entire first half of the movie (the better half, I think) tickled me in some odd places I'd forgotten I had.
Also, the (spoiler below)
part at the end where Eve hauls Wall-E back to his ship and puts him back together, then boots him back up and he didn't recognize her was awesome... guh, I shed some tears; I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.
I wouldn't have minded had the entire film been dialogueless. The humans later on kind of ruined the experience.
Pleasantly surprised, glad a friend dragged me out to see it. I think I'm going to have to get a little Eve figurine to sit on my desk at work next to my World of Warcraft figureprint.

Saw it yesterday, thought it was transcendent, one of Pixar's best. My more conservative friends left the theater ranting about how preachy the message was... whereas I felt it was about as tastefully done as it could be.
I liked Newman's score quite a bit. I thought it fit the movie like a glove. As far as standalone listening goes, I think I would have preferred Giacchino (who has been signed up for their next film, "Up.").
By SonicPanda (Jul 18, 2008) (#10)
Saw it today, loved it to bits. I'm with Amber though, they could've made a whole movie out of the near-wordless first half-hour, and it would've been as good if not better. But then there would've be no FOREIGN CONTAMINANT Bot and that would've been a shame.
Does Pixar's stuff blend together story-wise? If you abstract it far enough, sure. But let's not sell them short - it's not as though your could extract the characters from Ratatouille, plop them into WALL*E, and have the movie function the same way. I'd argue that many characters in others' CGI films are more archetypical, and essentially interchangeable. Oh, and derivative as hell - there was a trailer before the movie, about a rather bold mouse who doesn't fit in with his kind and crosses paths with a chef. Now why does that sound so familiar?
P.S. You guys are crazy - this is easily my favorite Pixar score, followed by Ratatouille's. Aside from the needless Also Sprach Zarathusra bit and my general distaste for Hello Dolly (though it was thematic and central ratrher than extraneous so it's excused), the whole thing was beautiful and wonderfully tactile, if that can be said about music.
By Wanderer (Jul 18, 2008) (#11)
After seeing the movie a second time (and loving it even more), I'd definitely coming around on the score. I especially love the music that plays during the spaceship taking off near the beginning, the flyby of the Axiom and the dancing sequence. The action material in general is top-notch (and mixed so well in the movie that it gave me goosebumps). The Strauss quote was a 2001 nod but why do they always stop the piece when it's getting to the best part? :p

Yeah, they played like five CG-animated movie trailers before Wall-E and they all came across as being about as generic as you could get. I think when you hire John Travolta to voice a dog, you've pretty much hit rock-bottom.

Definitely, the level of emotion that is expressed without words was impressive and yes, I couldn't have lived without having the FOREIGN CONTAMINANT Bot in there, loved him and how it was said. I also liked how the messages from the past where done with real actors.
I have to agree with Angela how there is a message in the beginning about pollution though it never really comes to the forefront as much as the idea of humans becoming lazy and wasteful but thankfully this was counteracted by the captain's desire to return to the earth and thus was balanced out.
However, I can't say my enjoyment of Wall-e was based solely on the film itself, but the airs of familiarity it has with 1986's "Short Circuit." Yes, very different films but there are several things that just scream as a shout out this childhood classic of mine:
- Wall-e's eyes remind me much of Johnny Number 5's eyes and how soulful they can seem, especially when combined with other gestures like Number 5's "eyebrows/eyelids."
- how Eva's initial, destructive personality becomes more docile throughout the picture reminds me of how even though Number 5 is a weapon he never uses his laser to "disassemble" life once Stephanie teaches him about the concept of life and death. Number 5 even ditches his laser in the rather unfortunate sequel because "lasers are meant to harm." Really, the sequel makes me cry to this very day.
- Another similarity is how wall-e replaces his treads and how Eva repairs him at the end. This is similar to how Number 5 fixes himself several times throughout the movie and how he eventually escapes his pursuers.
Anyway, I'm not saying the movie doesn't work on it's own but I have to say having fond memories of "Short Circuit" definitely made the movie come alive even more and didn't seem like a rip-off even though there are several comparable scenes and ideas.
As it is, if anyone has seen Wall-e but not Short Circuit I'd suggest checking it out, the movie only ran me about $5.
By Amazingu (Dec 27, 2008) (#13)
Just watched this a couple of days ago, and I absolutely adored it.
In the end I kinda regretted watching it on my own, cos the gf had a party at her work, this is definitely one to watch with a loved one. But still, even on my own it was cute and endearing and made me feel all fuzzy inside.
Definitely one of Pixar's finest.
Also, the animated short with the Magic Hat was hilarious!
Kinda felt like Bugs Bunny meets Portal
By Angela (Dec 27, 2008) (#14)
For what has to be a first, I actually enjoyed a Dreamworks animation more than a Pixar one; Kung Fu Panda just ended up being the more enjoyable film for me this year.
Oh, and I'm calling it right now: Pixar's next film "Up" is gonna be fraggin' incredible. You can all flog me if I'm wrong.
By Wanderer (Dec 28, 2008) (#15)
For one thing, Giacchino returns! Yay!
I got Wall-E for Christmas on Blu-ray and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I looked over specific scenes but I can't wait to watch the whole thing again!
By Crystal (Jan 01, 2009) (#16)
Picked up the US DVD.
I liked the BurnE short more than the Presto short.
The way the spire machine just dropped the spire in front of BurnE with a loud thud was so funny.
I'm kinda perplexed why it took Japan almost half a year after the US release to show it in theaters.
It's ridiculous considering there's very little dialogue.
Anyways, it's a cute film.
When Wall-E was talking, why does he/it call her Eva instead of EVE?
Yet another winner from Pixar.
Up looks interesting. I'll definitely have to find 3d theater around somewhere.

I'm sure it's more about marketing than it is actually getting the subtitles and dubbing done. How exactly waiting a half year to release the film benefits its prospects is beyond me but someone at Disney is under the impression that it does, as they've done it with previous Pixar flicks.
Anyway as for the movie itself, despite it being a bit slow I was impressed in the first half with how they had the guts to release such an unconventional animated film (little to no dialog, some fairly weighty sci-fi and social messages) as a tentpole release. Then the rushed, excessively happy ending soured it for me. Same thing with Ratatouille. I understand these are family films but after providing such solid artistic foundations it's disappointing to see them revert to more typical cartoon form at the end.
With the musical score having such a prominent place for a great part of the film I was listening very carefully hoping to be impressed but wasn't. Am willing to give both the film and the score a second chance though
Oh and Presto was great. Pretty much anything with animated bunnies = win.

Habits of French Colonialism
"In other days France was the name of a country. We should take care that in 1961 it does not become the name of a nervous disease." -- Jean Paul Sartre, preface to Frantz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth.
In an early French film on the colonies, Enfants annamites ramassant des sépèques devant la Pagode des dames (Lumière Brothers, 1897), two French women smile condescendingly as they scatter coins to a group of Vietnamese children, who scramble to gather them. Little has changed in the French attitude to its former colonies in more than a century. The "Socialist" president François Hollande's deceitful claim that France is in Mali to protect the country from Islamism is shallow: there are other motivations that linger so close to the surface, such as France's desire to project itself into an increasingly restive Francophone Africa since its 2011 intervention into Cote d'Ivoire as well as France's need for nearby Niger's uranium for its nuclear energy and for Mali's gold. Like the two women in 1897, Hollande stands at the Élysée Palace, dripping with hypocrisy.
The French "socialists" have always been keen colonizers, and strikingly, they have found willing collaborators in the wider French Left. In 1956, at the height of the Algerian struggle for national self-determination, the French communist delegates voted in favour of the Socialist Prime Minister Guy Mollet's government to grant "special powers" to its colonial security services in Algeria. Mollet was committed to anti-colonialism before he became the head of the government, with his volte-face treated to tomatoes during a visit to Algiers (la journée des tomates, it is called). French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre wrote a stinging attack on the Left's position on Algeria in 1957. "They talk of Algeria," he wrote, "but in moderate terms." No protests against the war, no days of action. "Its activists are grumbling," he wrote, and "as for the working-class, the result, and perhaps the aim, of this policy is that it is entirely demobilized…..The [Left] is reaping what it has sown: when it needs the masses, it will no longer find them."
Sartre was right. Eighteen months later, when the Fourth Republic collapsed, the Left could not seize the situation. It lost a million and a half votes in the elections, ushering Charles de Gaulle back to power and inaugurating the Fifth Republic.
The French Left has learned no lessons.
On 16 January, Deputy François Asensi of the Gauche démocrate et républicaine parliamentary bloc (and former Communist member) gave a speech at the National Assembly. Non-intervention would have been cowardice, he notes (La non-intervention aurait été la pire des lâchetés). The position of the Left Front, the Communists and the Republicans, he continued, is clear: "to abandon the people of Mali to the barbarism of fanatics would be a political error and a moral failing" (La position des députés du Front de gauche, communistes et républicains, est claire: abandonner le peuple malien à la barbarie des fanatiques aurait été une erreur politique et une faute morale). The jihadists of Northern Mali had to be stopped, said Deputy Asensi, or else they would create a despotic, blood thirsty and medieval state (des régimes despotiques, sanguinaires et moyenâgeux). Echoing George W. Bush and his amanuensis on the war on Iraq Christopher Hitchens, Deputy Asensi notes, that fundamentalism is a new form of fascism (Leur fondamentalisme constitue une forme nouvelle du fascism). There is no mention here of the Tuareg fight for self-determination that goes back to the 1960s which had been suppressed by the French themselves, nor anything about the French-led Libyan war of 2011 that sent radical Islamist fighters across the border into Azwad (northern Mali) to tip the balance against the Tuareg nationalists. What we get from Deputy Asensi is the bland defence of French neo-colonialism couched in the language of humanitarian internationalism, "International military action was necessary to avoid the installation of a terrorist state" (Une action militaire internationale était nécessaire pour éviter l'installation d'un Etat Terroriste).
The Communists partly differentiated themselves from their erstwhile member. Four days before, their statement echoed the French worry about the jihadist groups moving to the South. There was no mention of the resource wars. A small mention of the French neo-colonial agenda (Françafrique) was brushed aside by saying that this intervention "can be seen" in colonial terms (and not is a colonial assault). But then, as with Deputy Asensi, it tried to shift the burden of the military operation from France to Bamako and to the United Nations (Le PCF rappelle que la réponse à la demande d'aide du Président du Mali aurait du s'inscrire dans le cadre d'une mission de l'ONU et de l'Union africaine, réalisée sous drapeau de l'ONU, par des forces maliennes et africaines, dans le strict respect de la Charte des Nations-Unies, dans les limites imposées par l'exigence de la souveraineté malienne).
It is the case that the Malian "government" did request assistance. But bear in mind that this "government" came to power as a result of a coup led by the military, whose coup leadership (especially Captain Amadou Sanogo) was trained by the US; and that the actual Malian democracy of the 1990s was consistently undermined by the West and the IMF, who inserted their own man to the prime minister's office in the early 2000s. Mali did not call for the intervention; the undemocratic, and Western backed, coup regime's antecedents did. The current President, Dioncounda Traoré is only the Acting President, whose installation to his current office in April 2012 was sealed with a promise to fight a "total and relentless war" on the Tuareg, giving in, therefore, to the Malian military's main grouse that led to the March 2012 coup in the first place. Traoré's first Acting Prime Minister, Cheick Modibo Diarra was removed by the coup leaders in mid-December 2012 and replaced by Django Sissoko, who presided over a regime dominated by the coup leaders. This is the government that invited the French into Mali. Sanogo's own political leanings can be gauged by the fact that he opposed the entry of an UN-authorized African force (staffed by ECOWAS) but he welcomed the French bombardment.
The African Union's head, Yayi Boni, but not the African Union itself, hastily blessed the French intervention. Benin's President Boni, a former banker who has become paranoid about his own safety, said he was aux anges or thrilled with the French intervention. Niger's Mahamadou Issoufou backed the intervention and a military solution, but more it seems out of nervousness about Niger's precarious position. When Issoufou came to power in 2011, he appointed a Tuareg social democrat, Brigi Rafini to be his Prime Minister, seeking to unite all of Niger, including the restive Tuareg. Pressure on the Francophone African heads has been immense – but even here there are signs of stress, as it is disagreement amongst them that has prevented a clear line from the African Union in Addis Ababa.
The UN support for the intervention is, despite Deputy Asensi's claims, also shaky. UN Security Council resolution 2085, negotiated in December, was to provide safeguards against an extension of any intervention. It is not clear that the French provided any safeguards to the UN before its 11 January bombardment of Konna. Paragraph eleven of the UN Resolution is fairly clear,
Emphasizes that the military planning will need to be further refined before the commencement of the offensive operation and requests that the Secretary-General, in close coordination with Mali, ECOWAS, the African Union, the neighbouring countries of Mali, other countries in the region and all other interested bilateral partners and international organizations, continue to support the planning and the preparations for the deployment of AFISMA [African Led Support Mission to Mali], regularly inform the Council of the progress of the process, and requests that the Secretary-General also confirm in advance the Council's satisfaction with the planned military offensive operation.
The UN has been caught a bit wrong-footed, once more opening the door to an intervention with safeguards in place, but then watching one of its permanent members disregard the caution and its provisions as it bombs and kills civilians in the name of the UN. For the French Left to hide behind the UN, when it is exactly what the French military assault is doing, is to ridicule both the UN Charter and the entire tradition of anti-colonialism and human rights. France's UN Ambassador Gerard Araud will brief the UN Security Council on Tuesday, 22 January. It is expected that he will reinforce the tired narrative: jihadis have to be stopped, France is only assisting the Malian government, and so on.
The French operation is called Serval, the African wild cat, whose figure is the symbol of the Italian island of Lampedusa – the gateway between Europe and Africa. During the Libyan war, Lampedusa became the contentious stopping point for Africans fleeing the crisis for Italy. Now, the herald of Lampedusa, the serval, blesses the jet fighters as they go in the other direction, bombing Africa as if by habit, throwing dust in the eyes of the world's peoples.

Some 11.8m - approximately 50% of the viewing audience - were fixed to the running event involving the British duo of Jo Pavey and Julia Bleasdale at 10pm.
Despite setting new personal bests, Pavey and Bleasdale finished seventh and eighth respectively as Tirunesh Dibaba retained her title.
The figures, which combine BBC One and BBC Olympics HD, do not account for crowds watching in pubs and on big screens.
Rebecca Adlington's swimming bronze had a peak audience of 11.3m earlier on in the evening.
BBC One's star-studded evening coverage, featuring the likes of Jessica Ennis, never dropped below 8 million between 6.55pm and 10.05pm.

How Should Washington Address Climate Change?
How, if at all, should President Obama and Congress address climate change?
"We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations," Obama told the nation in his Inaugural Address last week. That statement and subsequent ones expounding on the issue drew loud applauses from the thousands of people assembled on the National Mall to listen to Obama's speech. Since then, the administration has been coy about how, exactly, Obama intends to lead in responding to climate change. White House spokesman Jay Carney did say last week the administration intends to move forward on environmental rules controlling carbon emissions from power plants, but he didn't provide any details beyond that general statement.
What options does the administration have at its disposal to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions? Does Congress have the political and legislative appetite to pass any significant energy and climate legislation?
Despite all the talk of reducing U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions, they're actually already at a 20-year low thanks in large part to the newly discovered reserves of natural gas, which burns with fewer carbon emissions than coal or oil. Despite that domestic drop, global greenhouse-gas emissions are actually at an all-time high thanks in large part to the growing economics of China and India and their consumption of coal.
How can Washington address climate change knowing it's an inherently global problem? Can Obama lead by example on this issue? If so, how?

Bloomberg, quoting the Russian Vedomosti newspaper, writes that rival Russian telecoms groups Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) and Vimpelcom may team up to place a joint offer for the 3G mobile operating business of Ukrainian incumbent telco Ukrtelecom, according to an anonymous source linked to Vimpelcom. Vimpelcom and MTS compete in Ukraine's mobile and fixed/broadband markets via respective subsidiaries Kyivstar (including Beeline and Golden Telecom) and MTS Ukraine (which is in the process of merging its assets with the group's fixed division Comstar). As reported by CommsUpdate, Ukrtelecom plans to select a buyer for its 3G operations after 25 November 2011 (tomorrow), the deadline it has set for receiving second-round proposals. In September Ukrtelecom announced it was transferring all assets of its mobile business from its internal Utel division into a newly formed company, TriMob, for sale.

Dry Eye Syndrome can lead to more serious issues
Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial ocular disease that is poorly understood by most people. This condition is noted by discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability, with possible damage to the surface of the eye. Left untreated, dry eye syndrome is usually progressive in nature.
Multiple studies have shown that nearly 5 million Americans age 50 or older are significantly affected by dry eye disease. Women are affected twice as often as men, and the disease appears to be more common in those 45 years of age and older. The Beaver Dam Eye Study showed that age was the biggest contributory factor to dry eye syndrome. Those with diabetes or immunocompromised conditions such as Sjogren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis also have a higher incidence of dry eye syndrome. Patients with arthritis, smokers, contact lens wearers, and those who have undergone hormone replacement therapy are more likely to suffer with this condition.

Camping Carbapino is a beautiful site. Set back from the main road in amongst the trees with lots of amenities especially the big heated pool and with lovely and very helpful staff.

Crown Publishing Group | January 29, 2013 | Trade Paperback
The book that started the Quiet Revolution At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts-Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak-- that we owe many of the great contributions to society. In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts-from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.

1. Based on the quiz in the book, do you think you're an introvert, an extrovert, or an ambivert? Are you an introvert in some situations and an extrovert in others?
2. What about the important people in your lives-your partner, your friends, your kids?
3. Which parts of QUIET resonated most strongly with you? Were there parts you disagreed with-and if so, why?
4. Can you think of a time in your life when being an introvert proved to be an advantage?
5. Who are your favorite introverted role models?
6. Do you agree with the author that introverts can be good leaders? What role do you think charisma plays in leadership? Can introverts be charismatic?
7. If you're an introvert, what do you find most challenging about working with extroverts?
8. If you're an extrovert, what do you find most challenging about working with introverts?
9. QUIET explains how Western society evolved from a Culture of Character to a Culture of Personality. Are there enclaves in our society where a Culture of Character still holds sway? What would a twenty-first-century Culture of Character look like?
10. QUIET talks about the New Groupthink, the value system holding that creativity and productivity emerge from group work rather than individual thought. Have you experienced this in your own workplace?
11. Do you think your job suits your temperament? If not, what could you do to change things?
12. If you have children, how does your temperament compare to theirs? How do you handle areas in which you're not temperamentally compatible?
13. If you're in a relationship, how does your temperament compare to that of your partner? How do you handle areas in which you're not compatible?
14. Do you enjoy social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and do you think this has something to do with your temperament?
15. QUIET talks about "restorative niches," the places introverts go or the things they do to recharge their batteries. What are your favorite restorative niches?
16. Susan Cain calls for a Quiet Revolution. Would you like to see this kind of a movement take place, and if so, what is the number-one change you'd like to see happen?

Is there some kind of CSS rule or suggestion not to use words for font colors. I am using black and red and the validator on W3C those colors dont exist
SitePoint Sponsor |
Is there some kind of CSS rule or suggestion not to use words for font colors. I am using black and red and the validator on W3C those colors dont exist
How/where are you writing it?
These are all valid ways to write the same thing:
color: black;
color: #000000;
color: #000;
color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
color: rgb(0%, 0%, 0%);
There are 17 keyword color names (including black and red) recognized in the CSS2 spec, all of them should validate the same as any of the other methods above.
If you've tried these, post some of your CSS to make it easier to help.
First i used short form and use like font-size: 14px; black; then i changed it to font-color: black; and it still rejected it same with the red color yet the purple color and the white color it never bothered mentioning.
I decided to run the CSS thru the validator tonight alo0ng with the other pages on the site. On my laptop it looks good yet when i go to my in-laws headers and footers are out of line other stuff is all messed up and they have the same O/S as me with the same resolution and a 15in monitor so i am confused why it looks good on here and others tell me on theirs it looks good yet the in-laws it looks crappy
There is no font-color property in CSS. You just use color: red, not font-color: red.
The error you are getting from the validator is actually saying that there is no property called "font-color", not that there is no value called "red"
ah ok that explains it. Thanks for the reply and help with this

In Which We Talk About THE HUNGER GAMES Movie
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012
Okay, so if you've not seen THE HUNGER GAMES movie yet, you may want to skip reading this post as well as the comments section below since they're likely to contain spoilers (or perhaps you'll want to read them for the sake of seeing what you're in for?). It's up to you. :0) Also, for those of you who loved the books, but haven't yet seen the movie—I hate to mention that your rabid-fan status may be slipping. Because, well, it's been a WEEK since it hit theaters. *ahem*
So? What did you think of THE HUNGER GAMES movie? Loved? Confused? Too gory? Exceeded your expectations? Frustrated? Did it stick to the book enough? Did the theme(s)/struggles/issues presented in the book come through? And what about the characters—were they as you imagined?
Here are my own personal (quickly jotted) notes:
- Chuckled
- Teary-eyed
- Nervous
- Annoyed (I think the Rabid-fan Opening Night Movie Rule should be that you can scream all you want beforehand—yay for anticipation!—but once the movie starts, do NOT drown out said movie with your half-crazed screams or I may eat your face off. Just a thought.)
- A sense of disgust and horror at the violence–I didn't want to think about the fact that these were children killing each other (and in my opinion, such a realization/reaction is one of the main purposes of the book series–to expose our own irony and shallowness)
- Katniss—perfect (really, all around SO well done, and I especially appreciated how "normal" they made her)
- Gale—he brought the book character to life for me
- Peeta—totally enjoyed, although I found myself missing some of the interactions that established his and Katniss' relationship in the book
- Haymitch—liked him, but then my sister mentioned she wished he'd been more "Dr. House"-like (from the show HOUSE), and well, now I have to agree darnit *shakes fist at sister*
- Effie—exactly as I imagined her
- Cinna—okay, so there wasn't quite enough face-time/subtle defiance/interaction for me to fall for him like I did in the books, but I still hearted him
- Rue—perfect actor and perfectly played (although I wanted her and Katniss to start talking about their districts!)
I specifically liked how they used the special effects (seemingly sparingly) to allow for a raw feel, interrupted by "glossy" aspects at the appropriate times (especially anything to do with the evil Capitol). I was surprised there wasn't more goo-gore hallucinations from the tracker-jackers though. Not that I minded. Also, I confess that the wolves in the book creeped me out WAY more. Oh, but the scenes showing the operators controlling the arena were very awesome. Totally made that aspect of the book more real for me.
I was actually pretty impressed with the way they cut the scenes. I wondered how they'd keep a PG-13 rating with all the violence and such, but (in my humble opinion) they managed it.
I praised the screenwriters and director the whole way through. Way to keep close to the story without boring or ignoring us. Thank you Hunger Games movie people.
Realizing that, as I sat watching a giant screen showing youth fight to the death in the arena, I wasn't so different from the Capitol citizens (oh Suzanne Collins, how brilliant/convicting/subtle you are).
And now it's the Preciouses' turns. What'd you guys think? We wants to know!

Infiniti unveils the all-new Q50 Video
Infiniti unveils the all-new Q50 Video Transcript
What's up, guys? We're here on the floor at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. I'm Antuan Goodwin and we're standing in front of the new Infiniti Q50. now, we knew that this G Sedan replacement would debut with a 3.7 liter V6 engine. We knew that it'd be about 320 some horsepower but we did not know that Infiniti was gonna roll out a hybrid version of the Sedan. This Q50 Sedan uses pretty much the M35 HS Hybrid system. It's a 3.5 liter V6 engine based system. So, it should have some pretty good getup and go as well as decent efficiency. You know, part of the news with this Q50 is the new Infiniti InTouch Infotainment system. That's gonna use dual touchscreens in the dashboard. What Infiniti says it's gonna be an easier sort of interface for drivers to use on the road. There's actually some new driver safety tech in the Sedan as well, including Infiniti's new direct deductive steering system and an Active Lane [unk] that uses cameras to the car in the lane as you drive. Now, this is a 2014 model. So we expect it to be on the road sometime later this year. And whether you like the new Q based naming system or not, you have to admit that this is a pretty sporty looking Sedan. I've been Auntuan Goodwin with CNET.com on the floor at 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
