NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Once the world's online search leader, Yahoo's share has sharply declined, putting it in danger of losing its relevance in a market increasingly dominated by Google.
Yahoo's search market share in November fell to 17.5% from 18% in October, according to a monthly comScore report released late Wednesday. It's the lowest share ever recorded for Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500).
Cannibalizing Yahoo's market share is Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500), whose new Bing search site gained 0.4 points of the search market to 10.3% in November. That was the first time Microsoft owned more than 10% of the market since September 2007.
Despite that good news, it's really a mixed blessing of sorts for Microsoft, which entered into a search deal with Yahoo that is expected to start in the next several months. When the deal was announced in July, analysts largely praised the marriage, since the companies held a combined 28% of the market -- close to the 30% that experts say is needed to convince advertisers that a company is a relevant competitor in a marketplace.
Since the July announcement, "Microhoo" has gone in the wrong direction. The companies' combined share has taken a 0.4-point hit, as Yahoo's share has fallen by 1.8 points, outpacing Bing's 1.4-point gain.
"They're still going to be a viable No. 2 behind Google, but less so than they expected," said Daniel Ruby, research director at search-advertising firm Chitika, Inc. "Everyone is surprised by the fact that Yahoo has lost such a significant amount of traffic. Thirty percent seems like a very long shot."
Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) grew its share by 0.9 points since July to take 65.6% of the search market in November. That's the largest share Google has ever garnered.
Meanwhile, Yahoo has lost share for 10-straight months. As the closing date nears for the search rivals' deal, some say Yahoo is reaching a tipping point that could make or break the value of its partnership.
Under the 10-year agreement, Microsoft will power the searches that users make on Yahoo.com. In return, Microsoft will pay Yahoo 88% of the revenue it gains from searches on Yahoo's sites. Yahoo.com and Bing.com will maintain their own branding but search results on Yahoo.com will say "powered by Bing."
"There is no getting around the fact that the market share trend for Yahoo is absolutely awful," said Benjamin Schachter, analyst for Broadpoint AmTech. "The Microsoft deal does not guarantee any search revenue, only revenue-per-search levels; therefore, search share and volume are as critical as ever."
Still, another school of thought says not all is lost for Yahoo.
Both Yahoo and Microsoft have poured millions of dollars into advertising campaigns to get users to come to their Web sites. Yahoo's new "It's Y!ou" campaign has been plastered all over billboards and television spots. Microsoft just launched its new highly publicized Bing iPhone App on Tuesday.
As a result, some advertisers believe users who search on those sites are more likely to indulge a sales pitch and therefore are more likely to click on their ads than Google's users.
"Microsoft and Yahoo offer quality versus quantity," said Ruby. "The traffic they drive is more valuable than Google's in some advertisers' eyes, because their users are going to be delivering higher margins."
So even as Google continues to gain share at "Microhoo's" expense, Yahoo and Microsoft live on to fight for high-quality searchers as a way to stay relevant.

2. How do I take a number to a power?. I don't see an operator or function for that in the documentation.

General Comments:
This car is very quick.
I use it for drifting as it has no trouble spinning up the rear wheels.
Very rare factory 5 speed turbo.
Skylines and Silvia's share some of the same parts.
Very practical car, the cabin is roomy and the boot is huge.
Even though it has done over 250,000kms it still runs sweet.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The A31 Nissan Cefiro happens to be a rear wheel drive vehicle. Not unless you were driving yours backwards all this time.
18th Dec 2004, 21:45
That's correct - The Nissan Cefiro is most definitely a rear wheel drive car which is obvious when the car has many links to drifting.

Hi, I own a 1993 Cefiro A31, SE 4, which is a factory Attesa 4 wheel drive, same system as the R32 GTR, GTS4. These Cefiro's are fairly rare.

Apple Store Thieves Are Terrible Thieves
Posted by buckwebber on Sep. 14, 2012
Posted by buckwebber on Sep. 14, 2012
a couple grand in apple products that will take a while to sell.........at least five grand in damage to their car, no one has ever met a smart thief i guess.
OMFG! What idiots! I would have gone straight for the Macbooks. One Macbook is the equivalent of 2-3 iPhones.
Promenade Mall in Temecula, CA. 10 minutes from my house. They got caught, it's unclear how just yet, but the news is saying that they found the BMW SUV just a couple blocks away, and that somehow their license plate fell off and was near the apple store. The guy who owns the SUV was on parole from LA county. These guys are winners.
They are all floor models so you obviously can't use them. Unless you want to trick some person on the internet and sell them or something...
Oh let's use a BMW to steal some iphones when the new Iphone 5 will be out soon... These guys are brilliant...
That one dude didn't even grab the iPads. It looks like he was taking the security tags off them. Lol. F ucking dummy's
they do realize all these iPods are serial numbered and have find me on them.......
Find Me can easily be disabled by disconnecting the iCloud account and restoring the firmware.
I recently tried to navigate an apple laptop for the first time, and it was like trying to write my name with my left hand.
apple sucks, its intell processors with a different logo and twice the price tag. Yay apple
this is from the mall in my town the guy got arrested because the license plate fell off.
Felons can't vote. But no one expects Republicans to be educated, so your remark is acceptable.
Oh lord how dum can one be? There are thousands of extremely expensive laptops and what do they steal? IPods and IPhones.. *facepalm*
While they were picking up everything they should have picked up their license plate. They lost it at 00:03, Should be an easy catch. Dummy's
stolen for sure. lets use our $30,000 car to smash into a store and steal a couple ipads.

Practical Gods
Practical Gods is the eighth collection by Carl Dennis, a critically acclaimed poet and recent winner of one of the most prestigious poetry awards, the Ruth Lilly Prize. Carl Dennis has won acclaim for "wise, original, and often deeply moving" poems that "ease the reader out of accustomed modes of seeing and perceiving" (The New York Times). Many of the poems in this new book involve an attempt to enter into dialogue with pagan and biblical perspectives, to throw light on ordinary experience through metaphor borrowed from religious myth and to translate religious myth into secular terms. While making no claims to put us in touch with some ultimate reality, these clear, precise, sensitive poems help us to pay homage to the everyday household gods that are easy to ignore, the gods that sustain life and make it rewarding.
- Pulitzer Prize
Author Information
Editorial Reviews
Dennis's (Ranking the Wishes) eighth book of poems continues his longstanding meditative project: long, elaborate free-verse sentences amble down odd paths of thoughts, past forested landscapes, furniture, paintings and solitary men, to end up with NPR-like reflections on human life. "Today I seem to be focusing on my wish to sand/ And stain and varnish my bookcase, a job that a monk/ Who specializes in repetition might embrace as a ritual," one poem muses; another offers "the comfort of familiar shadows/ But not the glory of leading those shadows/ Out of the flickering dark into the living present." Dennis's warm, accessible approach has garnered him several awards (most recently a big prize from Poetry magazine); it should please devotees of Stephen Dunn, or even of Raymond Carver, whose regretful musings suffuse the volume-closing "The God Who Loves You." Praising "the light touch of [Vermeer's] brush on canvas," or saying, "there's nothing wrong with imagining missions," Dennis can end up saccharine or predictable. At his best, though, Dennis can be far stranger, and funnier, than that; his attractive webs of phrases and sentences can take on a zigzag aspect almost akin to Ashbery. And his best poems make space not just for wise speculations but for genuine oddities, from Utica, N.Y., to "a senior coach like Mr. Ruggieri," to homely, handy extended metaphors: "The past we need is only a kind of currency/ Stamped in red with the date of this day."

Day-of Coordinator

Jenny is wonderful! She's very detailed, and really led the day, so much more than what I expected!

We used Jenny as our day-of coordinator and she was wonderful! Our wedding was at the Howard County Conservancy which is beautiful but is really an educational center rather than a wedding venue so not all of their policies are conducive to weddings. We couldn't bring anything early or leave anything late, for example. Jenny was great with all of this - she and her assistant set up everything exactly as I described and packed it all up for us very efficiently at the end of the night. And we brought a LOT of stuff! She worked seamlessly with all of the other vendors and the whole day was really perfect. I can't even begin to think how busy and crazy the day would have been for myself and my family if we had not hired Jenny. All I had to focus on was saying my vows and having a blast.
Even before the wedding day, Jenny was extremely responsive and helpful with all of my email questions and concerns. She helped us find some wonderful photographers and did a great job keeping us organized at the rehearsal. She is very personable, a great resource, and extremely organized!

I fell in love with Jenny the day I met her. She was full of amazing ideas and she immediately put me at ease about my wedding. She stayed in contact with me and my vendors up until the day of the wedding. When the big day finally arrived I honestly did not have one single worry about ANYTHING because she had it all covered. I got to spend my wedding day talking to guests, eating and drinking (who ever gets to do that?) and enjoying my husband. I cannot recommend her enough.

Jenny was recommended to me by Michele Goldberg at the American Visionary Art Museum, where I had my wedding.
At first, I was confused as to what a "day-of event coordinator" did because I've never known anyone in my community to hire one, but I soon realized that this was exactly what I needed. Since I was getting married at the AVAM, I had to contract most of my vendors piece-meal. It was extremely difficult to coordinate the schedules and timing between the vendors, especially being the bride. Jenny took care of all this for me. She coordinated between 12 different vendors the day of my wedding. She met with my sister and I twice before the wedding and called us frequently to ensure that all of the details were in place. She read through the contracts for each of our vendors and ensured that the proper goods and services were delivered the day of the wedding. She coordinated between the vendors before the wedding as well. What was great about Jenny is that she truly opened her heart to understand our culture and customs in order to better understand the wedding ceremonies. Her questions were precise and intuitive and she had a great dedication to detail. We had a Guyanese/Pakistani wedding with over 400 people. Jenny managed it all for us so that things could run on time and run smoothly. I am so happy that I contracted her services and I hope to contract her in the future for my sister's wedding as well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at email@example.com. :)

Jenny of JPB Designs was my "day of" wedding coordinator at my September wedding at the American Visionary Art Museum! Since I chose a less conventional venue, I knew I would need help with the rehearsal, day of set up, etc. She was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of my expectations. She was so organized and contacted all of my vendors prior to the wedding date. Everyone knew exactly where to go and what to do on the day of. Even my vendors told me how organized my coordinator was! Jenny also organized and conducted my wedding rehearsal. I was so nervous about the flow of the ceremony, where to stand, when to walk, etc....Jenny took care of everything! Everything ran smoothly! On the day of the wedding, I was in contact with Jenny all morning leading up to the ceremony/reception. She was already at my venue setting up, decorating tables, and most importantly, letting my guests know where to go! I was able to relax and enjoy my morning because I knew Jenny was taking care of everything! She made sure my fiance and I didn't catch a glimpse of one another before the ceremony. Jenny stayed at my venue during the entire duration of the day. She even stayed to help clean up at the end. I love, love, loved working with Jenny Bartkus. She was worth every penny!

I hired them late in the game as a day of event planner and they quickly came up to speed on every last detail we had planned and helped us to figure out those decisions that we hadn't yet made or had forgotten about. They took care of running the rehearsal, decorating the day of, and ensuring that the wedding day ran smoothly. They adapted the schedule as needed as some things took longer than planned and also to make sure that guests were having a great time; for instance, to minimize breaking up the dance floor rhythm, they suggested moving the cake cutting up to after the father/daughter and mother/son dances, which worked wonderfully. They ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the evening and helped us to execute a perfect wedding day:) I'm not sure what I would have done without them!

Its a shame weddingwire won't allow me to give Jenny 10 stars because that's what she deserves! I hired Jenny because I just wanted someone to keep my all-over-the-place family in line and make sure they were all at the right place for the ceremony at the right time. That's all you need- right? WRONG! There are so many parts to a wedding (and we are pretty laid back people) that you have no idea until you go through this process. This woman is AMAZING!!! How she keeps everything so together I will never know. Jenny met with us for hours before the big day and went above and beyond the contract details. I had many separate components and handmade items for the wedding and she made it so everything had its place and everything was absolutley perfect. Our processional song was three parts long and sure enough if she didn't have the timing down so perfectly that I was at the alter at just the right part of the song. Her meticulous attention to detail and organization is incredible. I've seen many a wedding planner at weddings all wound up and crazy but not Jenny. Her sweet but get-it-done personality and professionalism was the perfect fit for us. Along with the event planner at LondonTown and Gardens and our photographer (hickokphotography.com), Jenny was the reason our wedding was absolutely perfect! Move over Jennifer Lopez, Jenny beats you hands down at planning weddings.

Jenny did so much setting up on the day of our wedding. She cut the flowers that went in the centerpieces, numbered the table number tags, set up our chalkboard seating chart, handed out the flowers and attached the boutonnieres, made sure everything arrived on time, bustled my dress! etc. She kept us on schedule and even though everything was fairly laid-back we still had pie-cutting and speeches, things we needed to do. I would have been worrying about all that if we didn't have her to keep track of everything. Also she was always super responsive. When our DJ cancelled on us a week before the wedding, she had suggestions and gave us options of DJs that were available. We ended up going with a friend's recommendation, but it was really nice that she was immediately ready to help. Also when I talked to my mom after the wedding, she was raving about how awesome Jenny was! The other thing is our rehersal would have been such a chaotic mess if Jenny wasn't there to tell everyone where to go and when! She's instructive without being bossy. She's just a really big help is what it is!

Hiring Jenny was the best decision I made for my wedding and I honestly believe I wouldn't be married at this point if it wasn't for her.
My fiance and I decided three weeks before our wedding day that a day-of coordinator might be a good investment. We had already secured the majority of our vendors but were having a difficult time getting cohesion from everything. We had a vision of what we wanted our wedding to be like but we didn't know how to execute it. Add to that being swamped at work and I was stressed beyond belief and ready to elope. I have never been in a wedding before, never been a bridesmaid, never even been a flower girl when I was younger so we decided having a professional around would be in our best interests. In three short weeks, Jenny was able to tie up all the loose ends, contact vendors, give ideas when necessary, expand on my own ideas, and make a master schedule accommodating everything we wanted to do into the ebb and flow of a traditional wedding. I was worried the ultimate wedding vision (traditional elements in a non-traditional setting) wouldn't work, or worse, be criticized, but Jenny made me feel comfortable from day one. She understood immediately what my fiance and I were going for and made us feel as though we were the only couple she was working with. On the wedding day, from when the best man went MIA right before his toast, to when the photographer kept us well over schedule taking family portraits at the church, Jenny was able to rearrange the itinerary on the fly to keep everything I wanted to do included (cake cutting, bouquet toss, grand exit, etc). I never had to watch the clock or round up bridal party members myself. Without Jenny, I would probably still be wandering around the reception site without any idea of what to do next. Her assistant, Meredith, was equally as helpful. It was so wonderful to not have to worry about all the little details on my wedding day and just focus on having fun. Without Jenny, that would not be possible. I would recommend her a million times out of a million. I really liked how she specializes in day-of coordination, as opposed to planning. Future brides, to keep yourself stress-free on your big day, hire Jenny!!

I can't fully express to you just how grateful we are for Jenny and her team at jpb designs. They made sure that our wedding was absolutely perfect, and it was so comforting to have someone making sure nothing went wrong. I was so stress-free the week before and the day of the wedding. Jenny helped us confirm with vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and also built out a detailed schedule so everyone would know where to be and what to do the day of. She and her team did an amazing job coordinating the set up of our ceremony and reception (in two locations 40 minutes away from each other, and working with several different vendors), and made sure that everything and everyone was where they needed to be. Every single thing that we had planned went exactly as we had planned it. And considering that NEVER happens to me (something ALWAYS goes wrong), it was an amazing experience!
I would absolutely recommend jpb designs to anyone looking for a coordinator. The peace of mind that everything will be perfect is worth the cost alone, and I honestly don't think we would have been able to pull off our wedding if we weren't working with jpb designs.

Jenny was an awesome wedding planner. We worked really well together throughout the whole process, I had her help me with picking vendors and extended planning, in addition to day of.
Having Jenny as the day of coordinator was exactly what I needed. Nothing is perfect obviously, but she was always right on top of it. Her team set-up all my decor and DIY projects exactly how I wanted, kept everything on time, never got in the way, but I knew she would be right there if I needed anything. We even got a compliment from the venue that we were one of the rare weddings to leave nothing behind, everything was packed and cleaned up as it should be.

Jenny and her team were excellent! They were incredibly responsive throughout the whole process. This was all the more impressive as they were only doing day-of services for us. I loved that they made themselves available for my entire wedding weekend. Having Jenny and Karla at my rehearsal made all the difference when it came to execution of the wedding. Next to photography, this was by far the best money we spent on our wedding. I highly recommend JPB Designs.

Having Jenny and her assistant work with my daughter and me was the best decision we made! My daughter wanted a wedding in Baltimore, but she lives in northern VA. Jenny was so knowledgeable with our venue choice and local caterers/lighting/bakeries, etc.; that the planning process was a breeze. I am a professional 'manager' so working with me can be a challenge; however, Jenny could not have been more professional and patient. After our first meeting, the impression Jenny left was that of a true friend. In addition to being 'uber' organized, she was extremely creative and suggested original ceremony and reception ideas. It is very important for a wedding planner to be able to guide the bride and mother through the process and not be afraid to make constructive suggestions or changes to ideas that may or may not be the best. Jenny took charge of the rehearsal saving time and frayed nerves! But... I just cannot put into words how superbly she orchestrated the preparations for the wedding and reception! My daughter's wedding had 280 guests and every one of them had the time of their life! The success of the most important day of Casey's life was made possible with the guidance and capabilities of Jenny and JPB Designs! We LOVED her!

We are so glad that we worked with Jenny to make our ceremony and reception as beautiful as possible! Jenny was great to work with . . . very professional and responsive. She was "on task" for everything and worked hard to make sure that there everything was smooth. She listened to what we wanted and took charge when she had to. I would highly recommend working with her!

The only DVD out now is the Japanese region 2, three DVD set. Its from Shochiku. Ill tell you this much: when Japanese companies decide to make a good DVD, they dont mess around.
disk 1:
Believe it or not, I actually knew about this movie before it hit Japanese
theatres in April 2004. Id like to say I have connections, but I
heard about it on a message board and saw the trailer. That thing
looked great. The movie also really delivers, up to a point.
The trailer has a lot of action in it, but doesnt say the movie is 141
minutes long. I finally saw it in October 10th, 2004.
In my second visit to the Busan International Film Festival, I was lucky enough to see this movie. It was in the outdoor auditorium and it was cold. The movie started at roughly 8pm, so it was dark and the cold ocean wind was blowing in on the yacht club. I stayed for the entire movie and although I was actually quite cold in my 3-layered get-up Im happy I stayed. Most people did the same as I but some actually left as late as 2 hours into the movie. Im glad I stayed. The director wasnt there, but I really enjoyed the movie. I thought the ending was a bit out of left field (and rather pedestrian), and Im sure many more people thought the same thing. I have to admit the movie does get better the second time you watch it so if you rent it, make sure you watch it twice and the ending isnt as bad as it first seems.
Ill start with the bad thing. The biggest problem I have with the movie, and its only reason I knock off half a star from this movie, is the ending. Not the ending per se, but the friggin dialogue at the ending. It doesnt spell out everything you see in the movie in detail so that even a 4-year old (not even being able to read or even understand Japanese) could understand the message, but it does make the message blatantly understandable, taking away a bit of the movies mystery. The message is rather simplistic and pretty idealistic as well. Simplistic and idealistic messages dont really bother me, but when they take away from the movie, it usually makes people forget the really nice movie that happened just before it (not to mention the idea that the director probably underestimates the audiences intelligence). Starting with At last I understand, the last few lines shouldve been kept out. So if youre watching this movie, and you want it to be perfect, when you see those words at the 134-minute mark or so, stop the movie. Actually, if Whats the point of my rebirth? would have been the last line, the movie wouldve been even better. It wouldve made the ending quite abstract, but the logic in the movie is abstract at times to begin with, so it wouldve been in keeping with the storytelling method.
Other than that, theres really nothing to complain about. The action is well done, the acting is great, the message is nice and the movie is even a little touching. Youve even got a little symbolism for the eggheads out there. The lightning bolt, the fact that the only good person cant see and especially death carry a special meaning. I dont think its as complex as, say, Wong Kar-wai (here, here), but its a really nice thing to see in a big blockbuster movie. Youve even got some mystical moments with dead characters walking around, so its really nice to see.
This movie is even more impressive when you know that the budget for the entire movie was only about US$6 million. Now, this isnt so big on paper, but once you see the movie, you will be amazed. The low budget shows once or twice to my eyes (most notably inside the train) but the zillions other times it doesnt show far outweigh anything else. The amount of CGI, and the sets and scale, would make it seem impossible for the flick to have such a low number attached to it, but director Kazuaki Kiriya, who was a fashion photographer and music video director, knows, I suppose, how to make a lot out of his budgetary limitations.
The style is really nice. The rich, textured look is really nice in the movie, and the lighting and set design only add to the atmosphere. The style, of course, makes you think of other things before it. The reference that jumped out at me the most was Metropolis. Those twirling needles when the emergency starts just made me think of that. Actually, any dystopian setting will do. The sets recall architecture of, oh, Nazis or Brazil or even, up to a point, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Those marching robots easily remind a person of Triumph of the Will (here). The whole movie is grand and the visuals in the movie are stunning. The cinematography is great, and you can really see Mr. Kiriyas photography background in every frame of the movie.
The first time I saw the movie it took me about 25 minutes to realize it wanted to be an epic, and during my second viewing I felt silly at how long it took me to realize it the first time. Actually, it just didnt want to be an epic, but the epic. The director really manages that very well. The cityscapes and battle scenes are very big, and when you see a few hundred mechs walking down the street towards you, or bombs carpeting the landscape, you realize that the director pretty much accomplished what he wanted to do. The music has the same epic quality to it. When the Neo-Sapiens walk out of that goop, just listen to the music. If thats not striving for total epic feel, I dont know what does.
The scale of the action scenes is great, but if youre expecting 2 hours of action, then go look at Armageddon or something. This movie has a story to tell, and it tells it well. Like I read somewhere else, this movie essentially says that war isnt all that good, so having endless violence would be slightly on the hypocritical side. What action there is starts pretty much 53 or so minutes in. Its really well done. It really looks like an anime. The fights may seem a bit fragmented at times, but theyre still intense. The mech fight is barely 3 minutes long but it makes the entire movie worth watching. Its probably one of the best action sequences Ive seen. Watching one guy fight a hundred or so mechs has never looked so great. The final climactic fight is also great, although the focus of the movie at that point is not on the war, but on the characters, so the fighting is only incidental.
The ending might turn some people off, but it has a point. Like I said a few paragraphs ago, the last few lines, in my mind, should be in the directors head, not in the movie. The drama, though is very nice. The director starts the movie with impending doom and it does downhill from there. He spends a lot of time on the build-up, which just makes your anticipation rise. The payoff is nice and the actors handle everything well. The movie has Yusuke Iseya playing the all-important role of Casshern, Akira Terao (Aegis, Akira Kurosawas Ran and Dreams) playing his father and Kumiko Aso (Red Shadow, Zebraman) playing his girlfriend among others. They do their job well, bringing depth to a movie already seeped in mood.
I really want to see what Mr. Kiriya will do next. Hes got talent, and he can now pretty much choose whatever he wants. This is an astounding debut, and although the action is very well done and terribly exciting, those scenes are short and few. That ties in to the message, however, which is a rather simplistic one. The movie is overall a lot of fun and much better with many viewings. You can catch more of what the director wants to say because you have your own ideas mingled with the ideas of the movie. This is one hell of an epic.
Commentary by writer/director/director of photography/editor Kazuaki
Kiriya, actor Mituhiro Oikawa, actress Mayumi Sada and co-writer Dai Sato
Im actually really proud of myself for finding these names.
My kanji is completely horrible but I was able to find the names of the
four people. These are the four participants of the track.
This track is actually a nice surprise because it wasnt advertised on
the websites I saw, so its really nice to see it here. On the other
hand, it provides me no additional enjoyment because my Japanese comprehension
is worse than my kanji.
disk 2:
Making of Casshern
Logically enough, the making-of pretty much starts with Yusuke Iseya
in April 2003 getting a body cast for the costume hell wear. The
body cast, as May 2003 shows us, is for a costume that had yet to be conceptualized.
The old animated TV show costume just didnt do it for Mr. Kiriya, so it
has to be redone. The doc then follows the production week by week (and
sometimes day by day), showing you everything they did through the production.
Its really interesting to see what parts of production overlap with what
other part of production. At one point, in the middle the shooting
schedule, the actors took some time off for some promo still shooting.
Quite interesting. The doc continues, and you see cast members leave
the shoot in August. Then, principle photography ends and the CG
work, editing and scoring begin. The doc finishes April 19, 2004,
at the movies premiere. Everybody in the cast and crew give their
input in short interviews to the camera. Even the TV shows creators
talk a little, and during the shoot people say funny things to the camera.
Even if you dont understand Japanese, this is an incredible documentary
because, well, its just that, a documentary. Theres no fluffy stuff
going on. Its basically 2 hours of behind-the-scenes footage, following
the director through the entire production, with no detail left unshot.
This isnt a short piece either. At 2 hours and 13 minutes long,
this is longer than most feature movies, and is just about as interesting
as many of them also.
Making dir.
I think this is the directors note, but Im not sure. Just two
lines of stuff, with Red Hot, Chili Peppers and Glay written in English.
Presumably, the director worked with them.
Cast and Staff
Unless you can actually read or understand Japanese, this will be aesthetically
pleasing and nothing much else. This has brief biographies and short
interviews with the cast and crew. The times in parentheses are the
interview times. On the cast side, you can be enlightened on the
careers of Yusuke Iseya (1:39), Kumiko Aso (2:11), Akira Terao (3:11),
Kanako Higuchi (4:00), Fumiyo Kohinata (1:38), Hiroyuki Miyasako (2:37)
Mayumi Sada (3:10), Jun Kaname (4:37), Hidetoshi Hishijima (1:14), Mituhiro
Oikawa (2:06), Susumu Terajima (1:16), Hideji Otaki (0:46), Tatsuya Mihashi
(0:52) and Toshiaki Karasawa (3:50), while on the staff side, director/co-writer/editor/cinematographer
Kazuaki Kiriya, co-writers Shotaro Suga and Dai Sato, conceptual designer/production
designer Yuji Hayashida, conceptual designer/VFX supervisor Toshiyuki Kimura,
VFX supervisor Koji Nozaki, conceptual designer/CG supervisor Haruhiko
Shono, conceptual designer D.K., costume designer Michiko Kitamura, hair/makeup
designer Ryoji Inagaki, set decorator/art producer Yoshihito Akatsuka,
the lighting director, sound mixer Masato Yano, a continuity guy (it says,
I think battle scene conti, so I may be wrong (like I said my kanji is
horrible)), the action director, composer Shiro Sagisu and producers Hideji
Miyajima, Toshiharu Ozawa and Toshiaki Wakabayashi are the people you can
read about. After all that, you get a nice little video (a bit less
than 11 minutes) with some credits. Now, I dont know if theyre
the DVD credits, but Im pretty sure theyre the movie credits. Again,
Im really proud of myself because I found the names. It took me
about 2 hours but I was able to find all the actors names (pretty easy)
and all the 19 staff members names.
TV Spot/Trailers
Youve got 4 trailers, (roughly 30, 70, 60 and 120 seconds long) and
4 TV spots (three being roughly 15 seconds and one 30 seconds long.
Well, the first two trailers are really teasers. The four theatrical
teasers/trailers are really good. The longest one is the one you
can find on the Internet if you look for it. Its really nice and
sells the movie well. They all sell the movie well, come to think
of it. Youve got a lot of action in them and some nice exposition
scenes, without giving away too many important plot points. Look,
I saw the trailer and I really wanted to see the movie, so that should
say something. The four TV spots are also good, although they have
this love song playing over them, which is a strange combination with the
pictures being shown.
disk 3:
As much as I admire this being a 3-disk set, they could easily have
shoved the third disk onto the second disk. For the packaging, though,
a 3-disk set is better, so thats why Im not too angry about it.
EPK Book, maybe
This looks like an EPK booklet. It has picture of pages from
something. You can see pictures and writing. Im not sure what
the writing says, but therere pictures of some of the characters, a brief
biography of the director and some of the other crewmembers.
Animated Art Galleries
Characters (3:50), Sets/Conceptual Art (11:20), Ships/Props (12:08),
Banners/Writings/Blueprints (10:33) and Maps/Banners/Writing (9:30) are
the five animated galleries you can wade through, and I must tell you theyre
great. The world in the movie is complete and immersive, so its
no surprise the picture was thoroughly planned out before starting.
I mean, the last gallery even has the nutrition content of some foods.
The character designs are detailed, the sets and conceptual art are the
same. You get a very good idea of what youre going to see.
The same goes for the ships. Everything in that gallery is thought
down to the last detail. The writings and banners in the last two
galleries are pretty extensive. You even get ID badges and clock
designs. There are so many things in these galleries that you dont
even see/notice in the movie. Great bunch of galleries.
Deleted Scenes
There are a total of twenty-two (22!) scenes here. To be honest,
only eleven actually add to the movie, and the other eleven are flashback
bits that arent used in the movie. Even if you can understand Japanese,
good luck hearing them because theres a running commentary over them.
You cant change audio options, so you have to listen to the guy (director,
probably) talk. The scenes dont seem to add much to the movie other
than running time. Theyre mostly little extensions that lead into
whats in the movie. Taking them out or leaving them in doesnt change
the movie much. Even if I wanted to translate the names of the scenes,
Id be at a loss because the scenes have no names. So, I didnt put
any names. You can choose to play them all (well, play the first
11 together on one page and the last 11 together on the next page).
The scenes add up to around 23 minutes and 48 seconds or so.
-1:31 Luna (Tetsuyas girlfriend) and Tetsuya (before he becomes
Casshern) when Tetsuya is dead.
-0:34 Professor Azuma (Tetsuyas father)) and Burai (the Neo-Sapien
leader) having a staring contest.
-0:31 Lunas mothers funeral.
-1:14 Luna and her father waiting on Tetsuya/Casshern.
-2:01 Luna and her father, in the room with the mothers painting.
-2:41 with Burai and Midori (Tetsuyas mom), whos playing a piano
that sounds like a harpsichord. This is a scene I really wish I could
-0:39 Luna in the train, before the thing leaves, yelling something
at Tetsuya/Casshern.
-0:58 Again, Luna in the train, but a different part.
-0:45 some sort of mystical moment with Professor Azuma and a character
killed earlier in the movie.
-0:21 Luna in the research place.
-1:20 another mystical moment with the character killed earlier and
the character just killed.
-0:48 flashbacks of young Tetsuya.
-0:53 more flashbacks, this time with Tetsuya and Luna.
-1:13 yet more flashbacks, now with Midori and Tetsuya.
-1:01 even more flashbacks, now with Tetsuya and both his parents.
-1:09 these guys shot a lot of flashback footage. This time
its with both families (Tetsuyas and Lunas) at a party of some sort.
-0:56 wow, what a surprise. More flashbacks. This time
it looks like teen Luna and Tetsuya.
-1:03 Lunas father in
you guessed it, a flashback sequence!
-1:02 this seems to be completely forgotten in the movie. Its
one of the more evil characters in a flashback that doesnt really have
a point.
-1:04 this is with the bad guy doing the coup détat and his
father. Another flashback.
-0:55 with a little girl with her father. That guy is one of
the soldiers fighting alongside Tetsuya in the war. Flashback.
-1:00 the not-so-sharp Neo-Sapien playing the accordion in a flashback.
Promo Stills
This is an animated gallery, about 3 ½ minutes long. One
good thing about being a fashion photographer is that the director took
all these pictures himself. They all have a certain look about them,
and they remind me of the movie a little. You get a nice piece of
score playing over the gallery. The pictures are very nice, by the
way. Very stylish in their own way.
Easter Egg
Ill put this here because, even though its easy to find, it doesnt
have a name. Its only about 50 seconds long and its an animated
gallery of a newspaper article from the movie. I cant read anything
because its in Russian and Japanese (the two languages spoken in the future,
I suppose, according to the movie).
Watching this in the outdoor theatre, I told myself the DTS-ES track
should be nice. I never expected it to be this nice. The full
bitrate track is lush, rich and deep. The environment is completely
enveloping and the extra speaker at the back comes in really handy.
The dialogue is never blurry or muffled. The score comes out very
well through all speakers and the action bits will make you wish this movie
didnt have the message it has. During that neato fight with the
mechs, or that climactic war sequence, youll think you couch is a battle
zone. Your subwoofer will make your house rumble. Your walls
will be riddled with bullets, missiles and bombs. The surrounds are
used to incredible effect throughout the movie. The positions are
accurate (to say the least) and the dynamic range is rather nice.
The DTS-ES track squeezes every little sound from the 1536kbps rate is
has and it does a terrific job. You can also choose a Dolby Digital
EX track.
2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. With the amount of digital grading
and effects work done on the movie, if this picture werent perfect, Id
throw my DVD out the window. The entire movie went through a computer,
and it shows. Dont even try to think about print imperfections.
The colours are reproduced perfectly, without bleeding, or fluctuations.
The contrast is perfect almost throughout the movie. There are one
or two scenes where the contrast is a bit low, but thats thanks to the
overabundance of mist blocking a barely-seen CG background (the helicopter
scene after the Neo-Sapien escape, if you want to know what Im talking
about). For the most part, the picture is perfect. The detail
is incredible. Ive never seen a picture like this before.
It clear and crisp, except where the grain is part of the style.
Theres no pixelation, no edge enhancement, no artifacting of any kind.
Although it may seem theres a little edge enhancement, I actually think
it a result of the special effects lighting and not the authoring.
Im thoroughly impressed by the picture. I really have nothing bad
to say. When I said Japanese companies dont mess around, the sound
and picture is what I was thinking of.

Kermit Maynard
Sep. 20, 1897
Jan. 16, 1971
Western Actor, Circus Performer. In his over twenty five year career in Hollywood, Kermit Maynard appeared in literally hundreds and hundreds of uncredited roles in movies during the heyday of westerns in both the silent and talkie era. He did trick riding stunts and doubled for many actors including his own brother
Ken Maynard
. He appeared as a star in a number of his own movies on the silent screen then transcended into the talkies making a series as a Canadian Mounted policeman. The advent of television found him starring in many shows as a character actor. A few..."The Gabby Hayes Show" "The Cisco Kid" "The Gene Autry Show" "The Range Rider" and "The Lone Ranger." He was born at 505 Liberty Street in Vevay, Indiana to parents William and Emma May Maynard into a family of five children, two boys and three girls. The family moved to Columbus, taking up residency at the southwest corner of 10th and Wilson Street. Kermit was an excellent athletic at Commercial High School. The brothers developed their love of horses here while self-learning riding skills on a vacant lot. After graduation, he enrolled at Indiana University and lettered in football, baseball and basketball. He was a member of the basketball team which participated in a holiday tournament against UCLA and Southern California in 1920. Kermit did not graduate, but quit, to began working for the Hormel meat packing plant in Minneapolis. His horsemanship was good enough to land him a job as a circus performer where he was billed as "The World's Champion Trick and Fancy Rider." In 1926, at the urging of his brother who was already starring in movies, moved to Hollywood and found work doing bit parts and minor roles while honing his skills of trick horse riding with daily practice sessions at a Los Angeles riding stables. Toward the end of the silent era, he was signed to a contract by the Rayart film company where he starred in a series of cheap western movies. Some were..."Riding Luck" "Prince of The Plains" and "Wildborn." With the advent of the talkies, he entered into a contract with independent movie producer Maurice Conn resulting in 18 films...10 with Kermit as Canadian Royal Mounted Policeman and eight traditional westerns. In a bit of trivia...Olympic champion Jim Thorpe played a number of Indian roles in this series. Conn eventually went out of business and Maynard resumed work as a trick rider, a double and many supporting roles in serials and westerns. He lived with his family in the San Fernando Valley. The physically fit Kermit neither smoked nor drank and was a prolific and par scoring golfer. Upon retirement, he became a representative for the Screen Extras Guild (now Screen Actors Guild) where he championed better working conditions and benefits for the many extras and stunt persons that worked the movies. He was a representative almost to the day of his death from a heart attack at his North Hollywood home. Kermit was cremated. Legacy...The little birthplace of the Maynard brothers on Liberty Street in their hometown in Vevay is still standing and in the process of becoming a museum starting with the placement of a birthplace marker in the front yard.
