How do I know if my computer can receive articles delivered electronically through the Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan system?
If I request multiple items through Document Deliver/Interlibrary Loan, how do I know which requests will be electronically delivered and which ones will not?
If Lewis Library does not have a particular book or journal, does that mean I have no hope of getting it?
Whom should I contact if I have problems with, or questions about, my Document Delivery or Interlibrary Loan requests?
Why don't I see all of my older requests when I look at my request history in the Document Deliver/Interlibrary Loan system?
1. Can I charge photocopies or computer prints to a departmental account?Yes, if the department has established a group account in the Pharos copy/print payment system. The department must provide you with the password; the library staff does not have access to it. You will find the Interdepartmental Transfer (IDT) form needed to create or replenish an account on our Forms page.
2. Can I check out any book or media item in the Library?No. Some items, such as journals and reserve books, are restricted to use in the building. See the Borrowing Policies for more information.
3. Can I check out library materials for someone else?Generally, no; the person to whom the materials are being checked out must be present. Faculty members may authorize a proxy--an assistant who can check out items to the faculty member's account. You will find the authorization form on the Forms page of our website.
4. Can I get on a waiting list or place a hold on reserve items?No. In order to be as fair as possible, all reserve items are first come, first served.
5. Can I place my own works on reserve?You may use your own works if you are the copyright holder. Most publishing agreements, however, assign the copyright to the publisher, not the author. This means that the publisher's permission is still required for anything that exceeds the limits of our license or the Fair Use exemption.
6. Can I put e-reserves on the Library website myself?Through ERes, our online course reserve system, you can upload new files for your course. These must be processed by Library staff before they are accessible to students. The appropriate staff members are alerted automatically when a new file is uploaded. Contact the Library's Circulation Department (817-735-2465, firstname.lastname@example.com) to establish your ERes account.
7. Can I put multiple copies on reserve?Yes, if this is justified by the class size. We have a limit of one book per 30 students, and the Library will accept a maximum of three copies for reserve.
8. Can I put on reserve the same materials that I used before?Yes, with some restrictions. Originals and most currently licensed resources pose no problems whatsoever. Unlicensed photocopies or electronic copies, however, can be used only once under the Fair Use exemption of the copyright law. Subsequent uses require permission from the publisher and, typically, payment of royalties. The Library staff can assist with obtaining permissions, and any royalty payments will be passed through to the department. The cost varies according to the work, the duration of the use, and the number of students in the class.
9. Can I renew a reserve item?No, renewals are not permitted so that availability can be maximized. For two-hour and four-hour items, there is a required waiting period of 30 minutes before the same person can check out the same item again. For all other items, you must wait until the Library opens on the following day.
10. Can reserve materials be taken outside the library?For items with a 24-hour or a 3-day loan period, the answer is yes. Two-hour and four-hour items must be used in the library. The only exception made is for the instructor who placed the item on reserve.
11. Do I need a password to use e-reserves?No password is needed to access the course reserve list from the Library website, or to use any e-reserves that are not protected by copyright or license agreement. If you are not on the UNTHSC network, you will be asked to enter your UNTHSC network user name and password when linking to our licensed resources. Locally prepared e-reserves that are covered by copyright are protected with a password that the instructor will give to the members of the class. The password should not be shared with anyone else. If you forget the password, please contact the instructor.
12. Does the Library provide access to UpToDate?The Library does not subscribe to UpToDate, primarily due to its high cost. However, we do subscribe to DynaMed, an excellent point-of-care tool for healthcare providers. It is available from our Databases page and from the "Shortcuts to Resources" menu on our home page. A mobile version is available at no charge to UNTHSC users; instructions can be found on the Databases Tutorials & Help page.
13. How can I renew an item that I have borrowed?
- From the Library home page, click on "Renew Items / Account Login" under "Quick Links."
- Log in with your Card ID and PIN. Please contact the Service Desk if you need to create a PIN.
- Click the "My Account" link located in the center of the page. Click the option to "Renew My Materials." Check the materials that you want to renew and click Submit. Look for the new due date to verify that your materials were renewed.
There are several other ways to renew eligible materials:
Call the Service Desk at 817-735-2465 during service hours.
Send an e-mail message to email@example.com to request a renewal. Please be specific as to which materials you would like to renew and allow 24 hours for a response.
Stop by the Service Desk with your UNTHSC ID badge or Lewis Library card. You do not need to bring the materials with you in order to renew them.
14. How can I use the campus wireless network to access the Internet?Wireless access to the Internet is provided throughout the Library. UNTHSC patrons normally can just launch an Internet browser, then log in with their HSC Network Account user name and password. Visitors must request a guest user name and password at the Service Desk. A photo ID and a signature are required.
15. How do I get the articles I requested through Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan service?Log into your Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan account. From the Main Menu, click the "Articles Received" link under "View Requests." Items that you have waiting to be viewed or downloaded will be listed there.
16. How do I know if my computer can receive articles delivered electronically through the Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan system?In order to view, download, and print your articles, you will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and configured to work with your Web browser. Acrobat Reader is available at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/.
17. How do I put things on reserve in the library?Submit a Reserve Request form, which is available at the Service Desk and on the Course Reserves webpage. Requests must come from a faculty member or a UNTHSC department.
18. How do I reserve a meeting room in the Library?Call the Room Scheduling office at 817-735-2556 or submit a request online through the Room Scheduling Office (available only on the UNTHSC network). Only the large group study rooms can be reserved; the rest are available on a first-come, first-served basis to UNTHSC students, faculty, and staff members.
19. How long can I borrow materials through Interlibrary Loan?It depends on who lends the material; the loan length is determined by the lending institution. Generally, you can expect a minimum two-week loan period. Some institutions allow renewals, others do not. Please contact the Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan office for more information.
20. How long can I use reserve items?Usually, reserves check out for two hours. Instructors designate the loan period for course reserves: two hours, four hours, 24 hours, or three days. All two-hour and four-hour items must be used in the library. No time limits are enforced on electronic reserves, but please be courteous when linking to one of the Library's subscription databases. The number of UNTHSC patrons who can access them at one time is limited in some cases, so it's best to download a copy of assigned readings and close the database.
21. How much are the fees for Document Delivery and Interlibrary Loan?Fees vary according to patron group. Please see Fees for Services for details.
22. How much can I copy for reserves?A single article from a given periodical issue, or one chapter from a book. These limits are based on the Model Policy of the American Library Association and national guidelines such as the 1996 Conference on Educational and Library Fair Use (CONFU). Please contact the Library before making copies; we may be able to provide a link to licensed materials, or have other solutions to save you time and effort. In no case can a copy of an entire in-copyright work be used for reserve without permission from the copyright owner; this includes images and computer files. Before copying, check to see if the Library owns the work or has purchased electronic access to it; if so, there is no need to make a copy and the restrictions can be avoided.
23. If I request multiple items through Document Deliver/Interlibrary Loan, how do I know which requests will be electronically delivered and which ones will not?You will receive an e-mail notification for each item received. The e-mail message will include information about the delivery method.
24. If Lewis Library does not have a particular book or journal, does that mean I have no hope of getting it?No. Most of the time, we can obtain a copy from another library through Interlibrary Loan. We can also help you check the holdings of other area libraries to see if they have it.
25. Is there a limit on how many items I can have checked out at one time?Yes; students, faculty, and staff members can check out up to 50 items. Other patrons are limited to 5 or 10 items depending on category. All patrons are limited to 5 reserve items and 5 test preparation books at one time. See the Borrowing Policies for more information.
26. May I use one of the Library's computers?UNTHSC students, faculty, and staff members may use the computer lab on Level 2 (Room 225) when it is not reserved for a class. The computers outside of Room 225 are available to UNTHSC patrons at all times; please keep your ID badge visible to Library staff members. Visitors can sign up at the Service Desk for a two-hour session on one of the designated Health Information Station computers. The labs on Level 4 (Rooms 400 and 410) are dedicated training facilities and are not open for general use.
27. What are "reserves"?Reserves are materials chosen by an instructor to supplement their courses. Reserves can be physical materials or electronic content. Physical items are given reserve status to ensure that all members of the class can use them within a limited period of time. Some reserves are high-use or theft-prone materials and are given reserve status by the library staff.
28. What do I need to check out an item?Present your UNTHSC ID card (faculty, students, staff) or your Lewis Library card (other patrons) to check out items. Lewis Library cardholders must also present a photo ID. Initially, TexShare borrowers must present both a valid TexShare card and a photo ID to establish an account.
29. What help is available for the Anatomage Anatomy Dissection Table?Video tutorials and other information is available on the Anatomage Table webpage. If you think the Anatomage is malfunctioning, contact the Computer Helpdesk at firstname.lastname@example.com, or stop by LIB-205.
30. What if I forgot my password for Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan?Click the "Forgot Password?" link and enter your user name. A password reset e-mail will be sent to your e-mail address on file. Check your e-mail, open the message, and click the link to continue.
31. What is the fine for overdue items?For regular circulating items, 50 cents per day. This increases to $1 per day for overdue items that have been recalled. Fines for reserve materials are $1 per hour, and fines for Test Preparation books are $5 per day. See the Borrowing Policies for more information.
32. What's the big deal about copyright?Copyright gives authors and other creators certain rights under federal law. There are some exemptions for libraries and for educational uses, but the University must operate within their boundaries or pay the copyright holders to use their work. Copyright law controls the use of copies for reserves, as well as copies that Library staff members make to fulfill document delivery or interlibrary loan requests. Originals, whether owned by the Library or by the instructor, can circulate freely. Increasingly, though, information resources are provided electronically. Our use of them is typically controlled not by copyright law, but by our license agreements with individual publishers and content aggregators. The Library has the responsibility to monitor and to abide by these legal agreements. We are happy to help you make the best decisions regarding copyright, and can assist you in obtaining rights to use materials.
33. Where are the reserves?Print materials and media are located at the Service Desk on the main floor of the library.
To find reserve materials, select "Course Reserves" from the list of Quick Links found in the center of the homepage. Next, select "Course Reserve Lists" to look up the reserve list for your course. From the reserve list, you can link to the record for each item to check its location and status, or to access electronic content. Some instructors may provide a direct link to their course reserve lists from Canvas.
34. Where can I get more information about course reserves?The Guide to Course Reserves contains links to other resources. Questions can be addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com, or to one of the following staff members:
- Laura Gutierrez, Access Services Librarian
- Lisa Smith, Deputy Director
35. Where do I check out library materials?All circulating materials check out from the Service Desk on Level 2.
36. Where is the IR Computer Helpdesk, and what are its hours?The Helpdesk is located on the main floor of the library (Level 2) in Rooms 202 and 219. The full-service hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M. Additionally, computer help is available for students until 10:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday. For more information, go to http://helpdesk.hsc.unt.edu/.
37. Whom should I contact if I have problems with, or questions about, my Document Delivery or Interlibrary Loan requests?Please contact the Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan Office by phone at 817-735-2464, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
38. Why do I have to register to request Document Delivery or Interlibrary Loan service?Our web-based request system expedites processing of your requests and helps us to provide you with the highest level of service. You will be prompted only once to create an account for requesting and receiving articles and other materials. After that, you will be able to place requests quickly and easily from selected databases, track the progress of your current requests, download recent articles received, and review your entire request history.
39. Why doesn't the library have one of my required readings on reserve?The two most common explanations are that a reserve request for the item has not been received from the instructor, or that the item is on order. When a reserve request is received from a faculty member or department, several processing steps must occur in order to make the item available. Our guidelines call for three days working time during the semester and one week at the beginning of the semester to process the reserve request. If a requested item is not owned by the library, up to six weeks is needed to order, receive, and process the material. If you think something should be on reserve but isn't, the library staff will be happy to check its status. If it has not been requested, please follow up with your instructor.
40. Why don't I see all of my older requests when I look at my request history in the Document Deliver/Interlibrary Loan system?We occasionally purge older records from the system.
41. Will I be charged for returning reserve items late?Yes, overdue fines accrue at the rate of $1 per hour from the time the item becomes overdue and each following hour until the item is checked in.
42. Will you make a copy for me?Yes, the library offers document delivery of photocopies and digital images made from our collections. Submit your requests using one of the two forms for this purpose on the Forms page. For fees, limitations, and other information, see the Document Delivery page.

2010 Quintessa
"(92% cabernet sauvignon with 3% merlot, 2% each cabernet franc and petit verdot, and 1% carmenere): Good bright, deep red. Perfumed aromas of raspberry, currant, fresh herbs, sage, tobacco leaf and flowers; downright claret-like. Broad and nicely high-pitched on the palate, with complex red fruit, spice, tobacco and herb flavors lifted by graphite minerality. This highly aromatic wine really spreads out and resounds on the back end. The building tannins are firm and a bit peppery, but the finish is pliant and sweet. A very successful vintage for this flagship bottling." -Stephen Tanzer

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 - April 18, 1955) was a German-American theoretical physicist of Jewish descent, born in Ulm, Germany, who is widely regarded as the greatest scientist of the 20th century. He proposed the theory of relativity and also made major contributions to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 (his "miracle year") and "for his services to Theoretical Physics."

Rihanna's action-packed 2012
Rihanna takes it easy (for a while)
Rihanna's hectic schedule took its toll on the singer - in May the singer was reportedly suffering from exhaustion and was taken to hospital. She even tweeted a picture of herself hooked up to a hospital drip! In June she cancelled a trip to the UK due to tiredness. The singer made sure she took a series of well-deserved breaks though, including this yacht-trip in Italy. Even superstars need to rest now and again.

On a Friday evening around 4pm under the clear blue sky I went for a bike ride. It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining as it pleased; with free obstruction from the clouds. The temperature was hovering around 0 degrees Celsius. Even though it was warmer than previous days, I could not take advantage of the sun to get vitamin D because I anticipated that by the time I return to my room the temperature would have gone below zero.
I decided to bike on the 11 mile Trout Run Trail. The trail is paved; so, as I was biking I could see ice or snow patches in some parts of the trail. Every time I had to go through a patch I was very vigilant because they are slippery. Towards the end of my bike ride, I had forgotten that the trail has sharp turns. As I approach one of the sharp turns, my attention was taken by the beautiful bright colorful Christmas lights at a campsite. For some reason I thought I was going to make it through the turn with the velocity I was at. By the time I realized I was wrong, it was too late; I suddenly pulled the rear brakes as I made the turn. In the end, the forces did not balance and gravity won.
Quick as greased lightning, I was on my feet looking around to make sure that no one saw what just happened. I think no one saw me. I took a sip of water, fixed my bike chain and took off. Except for a light blunt pain in my ankle and on my ribs, I am doing fine. It will be a while for gravity to win again.

Movie News
Behold Christopher Nolan & David Fincher bow before the greatness of Malick's TREE OF LIFE!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... got a busy film day - a pair of summer blockbusters and a big FANTASTIC FEST meeting, but before I leave the house, I had to share this. It's one thing to hear film critics worshipping a filmmaker that is known for being brilliant, but difficult for mass consumption, but when you have two filmmakers like David Fincher and Christopher Nolan. These two have a very obvious understanding of film on an incredibly powerful & commercial level. Now, they've sat down and given their thoughts on what it is that Malick does that no other filmmaker can quite emulate. It's really quite a sweet expression of love for another filmmaker that I genuinely wish other filmmakers would open themselves up to discuss and reflect upon the great contemporaries as they make difficult films to sell.
TREE OF LIFE is great filmmaking. A film that bores its way into your brain and in the month or so since seeing it, I have to say - I reflect upon the film often with friends. Can't say that about much of anything else this year. Though in a completely different way, I am going there with Woody's MIDNIGHT IN PARIS. Anyway, here's David and Chris... Enjoy...

by Thunderbolt Ross
Most importantly it's unique. Also, I thought The New World was very good but this is the type of film I like to see from Malick - much more experimental, arty. If you don't like his movies really - do not bother with this. Also: It is not religious.

by KilliK
trash the movie even if it was the most atrocious film ever made. When it comes to such talented big name creators who have been immortalized in the cinematic history and are widely respected by the critics and the cinephil audience,you simply cant afford to say negative words about their new film in the fear that you might be seen by the public as some kind of a pretentious prick artist who thinks he is more talented and makes better movies than the mentioned big name creator. Not that Nolan and Fincher dont express their real opinion about Malick's new film,i am pretty sure it kicks ass in all the leves.

I like the way it looks
by torontoxic
I love the way every movie the man makes looks but why does is always have to be glazed with depression? I think he's benefiting from what is implied by the aesthetic. His movies look amazing but the content I would say at this point is his major and crippling flaw. Both Fincher and Nolan also make incredible looking movies but they have the good sense to know how to make it all accessible and thus entertaining. <P> Its the opposite effect of Michael Bay with most viewers: they go to a Michael Bay movie hoping to hate it and will never admit they enjoyed it and will of course see the sequel whereas Terence Malick movies people go to see hoping to love them so they can rest assured they are in fact as smart as they hoped they were. Nobody admits they were bored to shit until they get online. <P> Somebody should just challenge him to make something that rakes in money. Sort of like the guy who sells a picture of a square for 10 million and you wonder if he could even sketch out Pikachu to save his life. I like to know this artistic vision is purposeful and holds significance and meaning beyond what I'm able to ascertain. To prove that though its necessary to validate that the approach is indeed a choice with reasoning. <P> To make it simple: I am confident Justin Lin could not shoot Tree of Life. But could Malick shoot Fast 5? If the answer is no to both then why are we sucking on the brainpenis of one and shitting on the other? They're both film makers with consistent vision and to be honest I had a better time watching Fast 5 than I did Tree of Life. If one makes movies to entertain and the other does it to be an artist without reason then both are completely even in terms of talent and accomplishment.

all the fawning over this movie
by spidercoz
is really pushing me away from ever wanting to watch it
Mainstream audiences can go see mainstream movies with mainstream sensibilities. This isn't a mainstream film and it's not for the mainstream audience. It's for an audience who wants more than simple entertainment (a goal which most mainstream movies fail to accomplish anyway).

by Shadow16nh
The film is basically the existential crisis of Sean Penn's character as reflects on his parents' differing & conflicting perceptions of the world and God within the context of his adult knowledge of the expansion of the Universe, and the evolution of life on Earth. Tree Of Life is extremely detailed in its portrayal of universal experiences the importance of which we tend to forget, such as the gradual loss of innocence every child goes through when they begin to realize the fallibility of their parents and that the world does not operate perfectly, with complete justice or in equal fairness.

Will probably see
by konkrete590
But I am on the fence about Malick. The first time I watched Thin Red Line, I really didn't like it at all. But upon a second viewing and each subsequent viewing I really love it. I hated The New World the first time I watched it. I tried watching the Director's Cut to see if it was better and still hated it. Too disjointed for me. No story just randomly showing us bits of scenes with no context. Days of Heaven and Badlands were a little before my time, but need to go back and watch.
June 16, 2011, 1:31 p.m. CST
by Shadow16nh
Actually, this is probably the least pretentious film I've ever seen. It's all about coming to terms with the humility imposed on us by the existentially shocking enormity of the Universe and the cruel indifference of natural selection and a planet prone to extinction level events.

I saw THE TREE OF LIFE
by AsimovLives
The expression "it's not a movie for everybody" aplies to a fault to this movie. It's not a movie for everybody. there will be hardcore movie geeks who will come out of this movie moaning and bitching and completly pissed off by it, and they wouldn't be the most idiots either. There will be a lot of intelligent hardcore movie geeks who will absolutly hate this movie. And there will be others who will love it and claim it a masterpiece. I'm a bit of the later group. Not yet wuse if i should call it a masterpiece, but it certainly is an unique movie. It will befuddle even those who liked it, like myself. not that i think i didn't got it. I think i got exactly what Mallick wanted to say wuith the movie. The message itself is not complex. It's profound but not complex. In many wys, the movie is pretty in your face about what's about. The difficult part of the movie is how it's presented. The movie is gorgeaus to look at. The trailer is a good indication, but it doesn't even show the best parts. The shots from nature or even from civilization are amazing. The other big suprise is that the mvoei is actually very fast edited. Rarely a shot last more then 3 to 5 seconds. However, the pacing is slower then usual. This mix of very fast editing but slow pacing will clash to most people. It's the main reason,i beleive, for the befuddling reaction many have, unsuspected to them. The befuddling that peopler will be aware is due to the part when dinosurs and the emergence of the universe shows up. but let me tell you this, special Effects Of Awesome barely describes the magnificence of what's on display. This movie has the best special effects of the year. Maybe even of the last decade. It's... undescritable. And it's basically just showing the start of galaxies, stars, planets, and the interior of cells, the human cell that eventually makes a baby. Seeing is believing. The astronomical stuff shown in the movie, both at themiddle point and at the ending, i immedialty understood what was about, since i'm a bit og a astronmy mgeek. The movie never bothers to tell you what's showing, you weithe rknow it or you go for the ride. The movie makes no concessions. Fro example, you only know the mvie is set in Waco Texas because you cna clue in by the accents or when the name of the city is shown obliquely from the name of a company in a truck. nothing is said outright. There is a narrative, but it's not linear. And evne in i's non-linear there's no aparent string of seqeunces. If anything, the ebst way to describe the movie is like a collection of moments, the present day stuff being like imrpssions form a day in life when one is at his job bout our mind is on other matters. The stuff fromthe past are like representations of bits of memories from long years past, and impressions of other people's life from hearsay. Much could be said about the movie. Or very little. It's a move to experience, but there's also food for thoughs. There will be intelligent people who will hate it. and there will be people who will love it. somehave called it the 2001: A SPACE ODDYSSEY of this generation. It's not a very good comparison, but i can understand why some would say that. Tonaly, it might be the best comparable movie out there, though it's also quite very different.

You do not haveto likehis movies, but that doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it. Give the man the merit he has.

New world is a bore?
by sardonia
You have to like Mallick's style. It's going to be boring to some. The new world was transcendental. The opening of the film was the most beautiful five minutes of any film I have ever seen. The ending is also brilliant. If you are the type of individual who is turned on by visual aesthetics, you'll likely like his work. He uses images and music to tell his story, rather than dialogue. If the images do not invoke a feeling within you...a sense that there is beauty in everything...and doesn't warm you heart, Mallick will appear as stream of pretty images lacking coherence.

RE: the "special effects" scenes.
by WriteForTheEdit
I agree completely with AsimovLives that the "formation of the universe/dinosaurs" sequence is magnificent. Trumbull is a god. I'd also add that I think one of the most affecting moments in the film involves the dinosaurs. Says so much about the themes of the movie. The more I think about this film, the more I like it. Again, Sean Penn's story? Not needed, for me. Otherwise, awesome.
June 16, 2011, 2:59 p.m. CST
Malick is probably the only current living filmmaker...
by Billy_D_Williams
who truly understands how to use cinema the way it was designed to be used...movies today tend to rely on very strict rules and specific guidlines to tell a story, mostly through dialogue and plot (which is pretty lazy IMO)...Malick comes at it from the opposite end of the spectrum, and he tends to start with the visuals and allows them to tell the story first and foremost, using dialogue and voice over sparingly, mostly to accentuate the narrative, not drive it...ever since I saw Days Of Heaven years ago I knew Malicks was pretty much the greatest living FILMMAKER, he really understands it more than anyone else.
June 16, 2011, 3:04 p.m. CST
by AsimovLives
I always heed my words. And since then this has anything to do with the pudrid shit made by Abrams? Abrams is not a talented filmmaker, so why does my words have any relevancy to him? Or do you think that JJ abrams stands in the same heights of Malick? You cannot be that daft!
June 16, 2011, 3:15 p.m. CST
by THE_CHOPPAH
Watched it recently. The first hour is still really good. But I had forgotten how much it descends into a big-budget A-Team episode by the end...rather dull extended shootouts with clunky editing. I guess that marked the moment where Sean Penn's destiny lay in movies that were more about action than the sublime, for much of the next decade. I was so hopeful when Megamind came out that it heralded the return of both Pitt and Ferrell as genuinely comedic guys. But it was a false dawn for both.

Why THE TREE OF LIFE won't work
by THE_CHOPPAH
You really have to be a fan of the director. Oh what the hell, this movie will just plain stink! The costume looks horrible, too many liberties were taken with the characters and the plot will lurch forward badly. Here's how it will probably go down: It will basically start out with a few minutes in one place, a few minutes in another, a few more elsewhere, etc. You get the idea, and then all these separate incidents gradually and slowly lead to one single plot. MST3K's Pod People was easier to follow! Maybe a few good things about this: Sean Penn looks enough like Brad Pitt's kid should, but will be hampered by the lousy script and implausible plot. The culture shock he has returning home after too many years might be done fairly well, and the Hubble/God description reminds me of a cross between Freddie Kruger and Jason Voorhees. This movie could have been so much better set entirely in WW2 with the opening scene of Hitler screaming at his generals, "I could make that bellboy a better leader than any of you !" That is from the mythos of the genre. After the opening credits, we should see the process of Pitt/Penn becoming the hero who goes on to fight the religious undertones, what through most of the movie should be spoken of and referred to, but not seen. This movie will need that sort of impact, the indication of the sort of evil the Nazis represented, but as it is, it sounds like one big car wreck.

Billy_d_williams summed it up perfectly
by Kammich
The term "visual filmmaker" is so loosely and often applied, but Terrence Malick truly is a "visual filmmaker." And I say that because he relies on the visual progressions, first and foremost, to tell his stories. Dialog, set pieces and actors all take a back seat. "Days of Heaven" is a perfect example... its a film that, at its core, is pretty simple: its a love triangle story that could come straight out of any given classic literature. But instead of explaining every single beat of the character emotions and plot developments in the love triangle, Malick does it solely with his visuals(as well as a very unique, often-metaphorical 3rd party narrator). And the results are stunning. Its one of the most beautifully shot movies EVER, but its also one of the most beautiful love stories ever, and Malick does it all while only using about 3% of the movie on spoken dialog. If you want to know whether or not you'll like Terrence Malick's body of work, just watch "Days of Heaven." For whatever reason Terrence Malick seems to be at the epicenter or perceived elitism in film fans, and I don't really get it. As Billy_d said, Malick really isn't some sort of over-complicated, self-fulfilling elitist auteur... he's the opposite. He's an old-fashioned director that strips an inherently visual medium down to its basics and delivers his stories in a way that harkens the heyday of silent films. I think another large reason for Malick's pariah status is the 20 years between "Days of Heaven" and "The Thin Red Line." When you have a guy deliver two stunning films out of the gate, and then disappear to France to teach class for 20 years, it brings a certain mythical status to him. And that status has produced an entirely divided fanbase(it seems you either LOVE Malick or HATE Malick), that I don't think he'll ever be able to shake. Alas, "Tree of Life" doesn't hit my neck of the woods until sometime in Mid-July. I'll be seeing it in theaters, certainly, and it will be the first Malick film that I've had the pleasure of seeing on the big screen.

But to dismiss the talent of Terence Malick is just... wrong to say the least. One doesn't ned to like this movie, or his movies, for wwhateve reason (a preference for faster paced mvoies, or example), to understand that he's a filmmaker of rare quality. His name itself is used to describe a certain style and way of filmmaking. How many other filmmakers have achieved such? Malick is an artist, and a damn good one at that.

Malick = total failure as a visual storyteller.
by Flip63Hole
But no doubt he hires a mean cinematographer! Heck, even Spielberg's lesser films ("War of the Worlds" for example) tell a story better with visuals/dialog better than Malick's Hallmark card voice-over (first 10 minutes of War you already understand the back story of Cruise's relationship with his children and ex-wife.) No voice-over, no ponderous shots of wheat blowing in the wind. If I want a challenging, emotional cinematic experience, I'll keep waiting for Charlie Kaufman's next directorial feature...

But Malick doesn't need to tell a story like Spielberg
by david starling
The New World was a film that reached a point, and made you sit through every uncomfortable, ponderous turn until you reached that point, then left you gobsmacked. Just one example (and trust me, I had to pick a hard one!!) but of Malick's work, it strikes me that he doesn't want to be conventional in any sense. He's a breed apart from Spielberg, and he's an equal to Kubrick dare I say it. I look forward to the Tree of Life; and I hope I'll be blown away. I'm sure I will.

Pretentious piece of shit, for losers who like to feel smart
by Nabster
The truth is, some of Maliks films work well on the big screen. The photography is ALWAYS beautiful, and this buttresses all his weaknesses. But if you watch any of his films at home, where the beautiful photography loses most of it's impact, his movies are quickly exposed as insufferable pieces of horse shit.

Just watched THE THIN RED LINE again recently.
by THE_CHOPPAH
Holy fuck. What an amazing example of, yes, visual fucking storytelling. The combat scenes that make up most of the movie's midsection are better than anything of their kind other than the opening sequence of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and Kubrick's war films. That's right. Terrence Malick is a better action director than anyone in Hollywood who purports to be one. And Malick doesn't set out to make action films. CHOPPED.

saw this last week, didn't care for it
by drave117
I was blown away by the cinematography, as well as the fantastic acting, but the movie just didn't successfully communicate any of its ideas to me. Was the failure on my part or on the part of the movie? I can't really say. It's probably my second to least favorite movie of the year (after Sucker Punch), but that doesn't necessarily mean I wouldn't recommend it. I am no slave to linear storytelling, and I have really loved some films that border on abstract (loved The Fountain), but I just don't get what Malick was going for here. Maybe I haven't seen enough of his previous films to appreciate it. Maybe I need to be a parent, or be religious, or have an estranged father. I don't feel like it's Malick's fault I disliked his movie. I'm glad he made it, but watching it felt like seeing somebody else's private session with their therapist, with both of them talking in a language you don't quite understand.

Royston Lodge...Lens Flares?? You have no friggin' idea what you are talking about
by tritium
Arguably, some of the greatest images captured on film are from Malick's "Days of Heaven". It is kind of hard to get a lens flare when the vast majority of the film is shot (purposely so) after the sun has just set on the horizon. It is called the "golden hour" for good reason. Why don't you do yourself a favor, educate yourself, and watch "Days of Heaven" and try to count the number of lens flares. Come to think of it, I can't remember any overt lens flares in "Badlands", "The Thin Red Line", or even "The New World". And as far as I am concerned, it doesn't count when the cinematographer specifically is pointing the camera directly overhead to catch the dappling effect of sunlight (and the "heavenly beams") as they filter through a forest canopy. IMHO, that is NOT an intentional, and lens flare (a la JJ Abrams or Michael Bay), but a natural side-effect of catching sunlight as it pierces through a natural filter (foliage). Moreover, it is especially metaphoric in "The Thin Red Line", as it symbolizes nature struggling against itself. In this case, the sunlight is trying to break through the dense jungle, and is partly "strangled" by the riotous and chaotic growth of vines, branches and leaves that symbolize the smothering of light...or in the words of Private Train, "why does nature vie with itself". You know folks, Malick's films are NOT that hard to understand...you just have to open you mind and look at deeper meanings. I realize that this is harder to do in this day in age when almost every commercial film holds your hand and SPOON FEEDS you it's "message". But if you give Malick's films a chance to speak to your heartm mind AND soul, then I assure you that you are in for an enriching and "spiritualy" motivating experience. And although I must disclose I speak from a Roman Catholic perspective, I believe Malick's films "spiritual" nature are general enough to apply universally to all the Great Religions. And one final note, a previous poster commented that they were concerned with the perceived "spirtuality" or "religious" nature of The Tree of Life. I am a scientist, but also a person of Faith, and I find no conflict whatsoever between my belief in modern Science and my Catholic Faith. In fact, I find them wonderfully complementary. Even if one was agnostic (or even a dedicated atheisist), Malick's films are open for interpretation, and IMHO absolutely no one should be "threatened" or scared off by any spiritual sub-text that may or may not be intended by the Director.

FOX Searchlight is wisely targeting cinephiles
by justmyluck
Endorsements from other directors is a good start, since TREE OF LIFE wasn't intended to be commercially accessible (except for maybe Christians seeking 'a message'). It's a very conflicting, and aggravating, to see a film that beautiful looking and sounding which aims for non-linear impressionism and ends with a deflated narrative. I understand why Fincher and Nolan are talking up the imagery and immersion aspects.

I think that everything you didn't liked about THE NEW WORLD will be amplified in A TREE OF LIFE. In the end, it's your call. Who knows, you might suprise yourself and like it better then THE NEW WORLD. I don't even dare predict what anybody's reaction to this movie will be. People who love David Lynch movies migth hate this. And a guy who had nothing but a dietry of Michel Bay movies might watch it and get a revelation and turn complely off from the Bay movies and became a full on cinephile for art movies. I just really don't know how people will react to this movie. I don't even dare predict that.

Calling Fincher and Nolan hacks is laughable
by Mattman
They make the movies they want to make, and most of those movies happen to appeal to mainstream. Nolan made the Batman movies that audiences didn't know they'd always wanted. Hence their success.

So, when you install the Beta browser, you also get a bonus bunch of buggy new code integrated into the operating system. Result!

And on that subject, Notes/Domino just pisses all over Outlook/Exchange for doing something useful like actually finding stuff.

Alan Sugar leaves Amstrad
Amstrad quality
I remember a friend buying an Amstrad tuner back in the 70s. It was dead on arrival, but being reckless teenagers we decided to have a look inside before sending it back. After whipping the back off it, the first thing we noticed was a quality control "passed" sticker. The second thing was the rubber band that should have been connected to the tuning knob lying in the bottom of the chassis.
Still, I'd have never been able to afford my first PC-compatible without Sir Alan's low-cost magic. Ah, the joys of Turbo Pascal, I'm coming over all nostalgic.

Palm Centro smartphone
Thank Bob for HotSync
I lost my Treo 650 a few weeks ago, so this came at almost exactly the right time. I filled in with a spare Sony Ericsson handset, but I missed the proper keyboard for texting and couldn't face typing in all my contacts again. Now I've got my Centro, I don't need to... plug in to USB, press the HotSync button, and a few moments later I've got my old phone back again -- but in a sexy new package.
Can't say I would have "upgraded" had I not lost the old Treo. PalmOS badly needs UMTS/HSDPA, though the Centro is EDGE enabled, and browsing is definitely faster. Blazer isn't quite as brain-dead as before, and no longer re-fetches the entire page when you hit the back button. Why is there still no WiFi?
So, it has a nicer form factor than a Treo 6X0, a better camera, and Google maps. The price is nice too, and it's dead easy to use.

Women Tortured for Men's Desires
The unspeakable tortures women suffer around the globe to get a guy.
Each of us suffers a little for beauty and fashion. Whether it's getting a bikini wax or wearing beyond painful five-inch heels, suffering and beauty often go hand in hand. But when we got an email with disturbing photos this week--it really made us examine the price women through the ages have paid to catch a man.
Who knew that high-fashion footwear--not unlike shoes Carrie Bradshaw would wear--was actually a debilitating practice of many Chinese women--they suffered "foot binding" to make their feet smaller just so they could marry rich.
Although foot binding was outlawed in China in 1911, it was a custom practiced on young girls and women for over 1,000 years. In order to marry wealthy men, women had to have tiny, "lotus"-like feet. Men were sexually aroused by these tiny feet, and also liked the fact that a woman with bound feet had limited mobility and increased dependence, which meant she would be more devoted to her husband.
Girls' feet were bound as early as 4 years old. Their toes were broken over and over, oftentimes by their mothers or grandmothers. Many girls suffered deadly infections as a result of foot-binding.
Women have suffered (or continue to suffer) other rituals around the world in order to be more attractive to men. The first to come to mind is corseting or tightlacing. In the 1600s, women's organs were often deformed by tight lacing, or making the corset too tight in order to achieve a smaller waistline. Womens' livers and stomachs were often forced downward, and the lungs stopped functioning properly, making it harder for them to breathe. Some women even fractured ribs as a result of tightlacing. Yet the practice continued for hundreds of years, because a small waist made a woman "marriage material."
In Africa, many women and girls still wear lip plates. In some regions, lip plates symbolize social maturity by indicating a girl's eligibility to be a wife. Larger discs (usually circular, and made from clay or wood) are inserted into a pierced hole in the lower lip, thereby stretching it.
In Burma, women wear neck rings in order to stretch their necks and appear more beautiful. Neck rings push the collarbone and ribs down and stretch the neck muscles several inches. The stretching of the muscles takes several years to occur, and the weight of the rings twists the collarbone and eventually the upper ribs to create the illusion of an elongated neck.
The tortures women have suffered and continue to suffer to land a man both shock and sicken us. We might live on different sides of the world, but women everywhere feel the pain of feeling the need to change ourselves just to "get a guy."
I don't really think it's "shocking and sickening"—it's another culture. If you can't be bothered to understand it, you have no right to call it such things.
I think it is shocking and sickening personally that so many women have to go through this just to get a man, but in many of these countries (like China) especially back then women couldn't work, so their only means of survival was to get married. How sad they had to literally break their feet to do so. It's always the WOMEN who are victimized, never the men. I do think that's sick no matter how "cultural" it is. Just because it's okay to do genital mutilation in some countries doesn't mean it's not SICK and INHUMANE.
If you don't have a problem with this sick perverted disfiguring to be a sexually site source of male demented satisfaction, then submit yourself to it! No one should have the right to disfigure someone else for theor own perverse selfish desires.
It sick to me in a way, but it's a culture clash. We can't be judgmental, we must first understand it. I seen a doc, on those women of Thai. They don't have a problem with it, and they are willing. I know us Americans like to believe that our way of living is better, but it is not. There is no right or wrong, just people doing their thing.
I am just curious to know what the women who find this practice so disturbing wear. A push up bra possibly. Maybe tight jeans? Do you shave your legs? Do you wear makeup? What about high heals? I am sure that if you do these things for yourself and not for your husband/boyfriend. It is interesting people are so judgemental. If you find this practice horrifying then surely you must be horrified by the way our media exploits women. How many images of surgically "enhanced" women have our daughters seen. In that sense I suppose our culture here in america is just as primitive.
Do you know what I find sickening? Male circumcision!!! Removing a peice of a newborns genitals within a day or so after being born for asthetic reasons. Yes, thank god we aren't as barbaric as those people in other countries.
Americans, it is good that you don't find yourself barbaricâof course killing is good, starting wars is fine, and pointing fingers but doing nought except growing fat is most civilised.
Right your own country before looking at others and judging them, World Superpower.
You're the ones with the guns, depression, obesity, and you're the ones generating enough unhappiness and anger for terrorists to exist.
Fix yourselves.
