Graham Gooch and some terrible puns
It's our latest piece for Cricinfo. Here's what the critics are saying about it:
"Ultimate ROFL… Next in line is Misbah?" – The Sunday Times
Now, if you'll excuse us, we appear to have one million things to write today and very few hours in which to do it.13 Appeals
England v Sri Lanka at Lord's, day two match report
Ged writes
"I've been a complete idiot," said Big Al DeLarge when he phoned me on the Monday before the Test match. "I wrote the date down in the diary but not on the wall chart. My assistant has booked a holiday and I simply cannot take that day off now. I'm furious with myself and so sorry."
"Don't worry about it, Al," I said.
But I had promised the Lancastrian nephew-in-law, Escamillo Escapillo that he wasn't to be the token northerner – Big Al hails from Burnley – and I wasn't so confident that I could drum up a replacement. I sent an e-mail to King Cricket in the hope that he might fancy a day at HQ and be able to come at short notice, but (as I suspected) he did fancy such a day but was otherwise engaged.
As good fortune would have it, in the gym the next morning I ran into Jim Hawkins, with whom I have discussed cricket for the twenty-or-so years we have both been going to that place. I know he is self-employed, so I thought he might well be up for a day at Lord's on the off-chance. He was free – problem solved – except for the fact that Jim is not a northerner.
"You'll be sitting with a strange assortment of folk," I said. "Me, my old friend, Charley "The Gent" Malloy and the Lancastrian nephew-in-law, Escamillo Escapillo, who was hoping for the company of a northerner, so you might be a bit of a disappointment for him."
"I love Test cricket at Lord's," said Jim. "I'd sit next to Hitler if need be."
"I don't think Test cricket would have quite been Hitler's bag," I said. "I can't imagine The Führer getting the idea of playing for the draw towards the end of five days of battle."
I had planned some culinary delights because Big Al loves his food – indeed by his own admission he can be "a bit cheffy". So I had made the Lord's Throdkin for this match and also produced some Hanoi-style Banh Mi sandwiches, as Big Al tends to like my take on oriental food. In any case, Daisy and I were also going to the match the next day and both ideas had the legs for two-days-worth of picnic.
The grub all went down very well with the lads. Escamillo-Escapillo remarked that his only previous encounter with throdkin had been gloopy, which he didn't think would work as picnic food.
Sitting behind us were some idiotic posh boys, talking rubbish about the cricket and getting incredibly drunk, incredibly early in the day. They had brought several bottles of Champagne, which presumably were gone by the first drinks interval, at which point they switched to buying beer.
Much of the beer they were buying during the second hour, they somehow contrived to spill over our feet and bags, but plenty was surviving and going down their throats. It was a very hot day and we were exposed to the sun in the Upper Compo. I wondered how the posh boys would cope with a whole day of such excess. Answer – they returned after lunch briefly and then disappeared for the rest of the day. In short, they couldn't cope.
Our group was certainly not quitting early, although Jim Hawkins got the call from his girlfriend around the time that stumps were supposed to be drawn and withdrew gracefully. The rest of us saw out the whole day and finished the last bottle of red as the sun set behind the Warner Stand. Bliss.
Send your match reports to firstname.lastname@example.com. If it's a professional match, on no account mention the cricket itself. If it's an amateur match, feel free to go into excruciating detail.10 Appeals
If you could invite three cricketers to the pub on a Tuesday night…
Who would they be?
And before you ask, yes of course Fantasy Tuesday Night in the Pub is a thing. It's like 'who would you invite to your dream dinner party?' – only why do we have to have a dinner party? Why can't we just go to the pub and have three pints before reluctantly agreeing to have a fourth even though we've got work tomorrow, then thinking 'sod it' and ordering a ridiculously strong Belgian beer?
Our first attempt at picking three has given us Ian Ward, Paul Collingwood and Carl Hooper. This could change.
And no, Rob Key isn't there. It would be too much. We wouldn't be able to relax.
But these three – they're relaxed, genial and most importantly of all, they laugh relatively easily. That's always a sign of a good person. We'd quite like to have Neil Manthorp there, but he's a cricket person, not a cricketer, so we appear to have made him ineligible. This is a shame, because he appears to be a man who shares our primary interests of beer and reduced price sandwiches.44 Appeals
Pakistan's 2015 World Cup strategy
Same as ever really. Just sort of hope that everything magically works itself out.
Shahid Afridi is a tremendously good one-day bowler, but you'd hope to see a stronger attack alongside him. Seven foot Mohammad Irfan is the novelty, while Junaid Khan is perhaps the class.
But it's the batting that's the real problem. The fact that Afridi isn't significantly less reliable than most of those above him says it all really, because Afridi is literally as unreliable as it is possible to be. If it weren't for the fact that he has 11 international hundreds to his name, you would consider him reliably useless.
So Pakistan's strategy basically boils down to having Misbah-ul-Haq wearily trying to inch them to 150 before making a frighteningly good attempt at defending that.

Very few traditional heroic qualities, but a faint suspicion that they might somehow do the job anyway.

KP v ECB on Twitter – a medieval battle with an invisible audience
Our latest Twitter round-up's just appeared on Cricinfo. It was an unusually tough assignment. We'd sign into Twitter, get distracted by the latest developments arising from Kevin Pietersen's autobiography and then find that we'd lost an hour or more. We'd then force ourself to close down Twitter so that we could get some work done before remembering that Twitter was our work. Repeat.
Twitter isn't fundamentally bad
Despite what many believe. It's just people, after all. People are good and bad. If your experience of Twitter is always negative, you're following the wrong people. Follow good people and it's an always-accessible sounding board for thoughts and ideas; a friendly online pub full of witty, erudite people who like to discuss things and trade one-liners.
However, of late logging in has been to waltz onto a medieval battlefield sans armour. A 24-hour argument is being maintained and even if you don't get involved, it can be a bruising experience. If you ever feel emotions for other people, you won't go long without sympathy or anger welling up in you. Absorbed in the debate, you don't notice it happening either – at least until you go to bed and realise that it will take literally hours before the tension subsides.
Pick a side
The annoying thing for us is that the Pietersen story raises lots of interesting questions about the way the sport is run in England. We'd like to discuss these things, but we can't. We always consider this website to be quite a friendly place, but even here it's impossible to criticise the ECB without people assuming you must therefore be on KP's side. Conversely, criticise KP and you are ascribed all sorts of other opinions as a consequence.
It's like English cricket has devised two new stereotypes and is getting busy with its label maker, tagging everyone. On Twitter, this polarisation is even more pronounced.
Fight your corner
The word 'tweet' sounds so fey and inconsequential, but reading them at the moment is exhausting. Even when we broadly agree with someone, we're often put off by the vehemence with which they put their point across. People we otherwise enjoy speaking to – often contemporaries; the pseudo-colleagues of the freelancer – seem incredibly militant all of a sudden.
Perhaps the chaos is addictive. Perhaps people enjoy the feeling of being at the centre of something major that is unfolding, surrounded by well-known names, not knowing where things are going.
A lot of KP/ECB-related Twitter output is a kind of directionless rage broadcast to the ether – almost an invitation to combat. At other times, a target is identified – and if there is no target, it doesn't take much to create one. Disagree forcefully enough with something someone says and they will respond in kind. A quick to and fro and two people who thought they occupied middle ground suddenly find themselves entrenched at opposite extremes. Suddenly you find you have a stance – and then everyone else piles in.
And oh how they pile in
Maybe it's the number of people who can get involved in a Twitter debate that causes all of this. Crowd behaviour is greatly influenced by a reduction in each individual's sense of personal responsibility. That's how mobs form. But a reduced sense of personal responsibility is something that can surely only be exacerbated by the pseudonyms and physical distance that come with Twitter.
You can say what you like and you can get carried along with the crowd. That's dangerous enough, but compounding this is the fact that the more people who are discussing something, the more quickly the debate moves. This is exciting, your adrenaline fires. Yet if you're involved, you may feel you have to become more and more extreme in what you say so as to be heard above the noise.
In short, things escalate.
What's your point?
No point. Modern world, self-control, polarised debate.
And even for conscientious objectors, it's hard to ignore a medieval battle. It takes willpower to look straight ahead when you pass an accident on the motorway. When this sort of melée is just a click away, what chance have you got – particularly when you can sit on the sidelines, invisible to all the combatants?35 Appeals
The West Indies' 2015 World Cup strategy
Let's take a day off from the office politics and instead take a look at some cricket. The West Indies beat India today.
Hypothesis testing
One of the most interesting things in the run-in to the World Cup – often more interesting than the tournament itself – is that we can compare the different approaches of the various nations. England's strategy will change precisely five more times before the tournament starts, but most teams have a fair idea by now how they're going to try and win the precious few 50-over matches that really matter.
One-day cricket is very formulaic, but the rules change rapidly and no two squads are the same, so we don't really know for certain the best approach at present. We'd slotted the West Indies into the second tier of teams behind Australia, India and South Africa, but looking at their team, we think we might be doing them a disservice. Also Sri Lanka now that we come to think about it.
What are they doing?
They're hampered by the absence of Sunil Narine and who knows whether he'll be back for the World Cup. But despite this, they have a lot going for them. Their most obvious strengths are a plethora of all-rounders and a surfeit of might in their lower order batting. Obviously, the two are linked.
If Denesh Ramdin seems at least a place too high at number five, a six-seven-eight of Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell and Darren Sammy gives them three shots at death-over carnage. With Dwayne Bravo currently opening the batting and three specialist bowlers, they also aren't short of options with the ball. One-day cricket has shown us time and time again that if you don't have one Wasim Akram, you may still be able to get away with a motley assortment of Chris Harrises and Sanath Jayasuriyas.
What are their chances?
It seems a rather fragile strategy – light on batting, light on out-and-out bowlers – but we can see it working. It's almost a case of carrying maximum ammunition and then just firing indiscriminately hoping something hits the spot. It's a funny sort of numbers game, but perhaps it fits the current fielding restrictions and whatnot.
King Cricket rating: Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York
A few sound fundamentals, but mostly just throwing all sorts of stuff out there in the hope that some of it sticks.
Other nations' World Cup strategies.21 Appeals
Can we please dissolve the ECB?
We support the England cricket team. We will always support the England cricket team. It's just that it would be so, so, so much easier to support the England cricket team if it weren't being run by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
The Pakistan Cricket Board is mental, the West Indies Cricket Board is incompetent, but the England and Wales Cricket Board is some kind of Machiavellian old boys' club. No-one within it really has much of a clue about international sport. They don't know what makes it good, they don't know what it takes to be successful and worst of all they think the sport of cricket and the England team that plays it are theirs to do with as they please.
It appears to be an organisation almost tailor-made to antagonise us. It hates individuals, tries to exercise almost complete control over its workers, loathes anyone who disagrees with its methods and has some weird, very specific notion of the kind of person it wants in key positions. We sometimes feel like English cricket is being annexed by this weird group of buffoons and we don't know where they came from, who gave them power or how they're still around.
Watching them trip over each other, set fire to things and fling pies in each other's faces while trying to deal with this Pietersen book, all we can think is that someone should put them out of their misery. We don't mean stringing them up by their ECB ties. We just mean drawing a line under the floundering and manipulation. Why don't we just change the code to get into the office and then hire some grown-ups to replace them?33 Appeals
Is Kevin Pietersen's book worth buying?
We didn't get a review copy of KP: The Autobiography. Apparently it was already getting enough attention without a review appearing here in about six months' time.
We wonder whether we need to read it. The two-page email from Rahul Dravid about how to play spin that features within it sounds interesting, but as far as we can make out, the book's mostly all about the run-up to his sacking (KP's, not Dravid's – who'd sack Dravid from anything?). We felt like we'd pretty much got all of that information after an hour on Twitter yesterday.
Andy Flower's a mood hoover. Alastair Cook's a company man. Matt Prior refers to himself in the third person as 'the Big Cheese', saying things like "the Big Cheese has earned some beer tonight" (pretty sure that last one's either a lie or Prior was saying it with great irony, but it is quite funny all the same).
What else?
The interesting stuff that might cause us to read the book falls into two categories.
Stuff about cricket
Like the Dravid email or the observation: "We are on the road for 250 days a year, we wear our England kit on most of these days … It never, ever ended."
We'd like to know more about this sort of stuff, but is there really any room for it in a book that seems to spend most of its time focused on fall-outs of the recent past.
Accidental Partridge
I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan – there's a book that's worth a read. But we also love the accidental Partridges pro sportsmen are prone to. Apparently at one point Pietersen says that most England players don't have many friends internationally "whereas I have friends in literally every single international team," which is a brilliantly petty piece of one-upmanship.
Sadly, we'd be surprised if his ghost writer, David Walsh, allowed much of this to get through. Having someone filter his thoughts probably means that even if Pietersen doesn't have the brain mechanism that stops him saying such things, his words generally won't make it as far as the printed page.
So, in summary: No, we're probably not going to read Kevin Pietersen's book. Now that all the best lines have been published on the nation's sports pages, we're just not sure there'd be enough in it that's new to us22 Appeals
Kevin Pietersen sort of didn't really get on that well with a few people he had to spend a lot of time with
Kevin Pietersen EXCLUSIVES and REVELATIONS are about to rain down on us in the run-up to the launch of his autobiography (apparently most of it's about him – the egotist). The latest salvo in English cricket's biggest shitfight of recent times comes in the form of his interview with The Telegraph.
Feel free to have your say in the comments, but we found it all surprisingly low key. We're promised THE TRUTH now that the confidentiality clause in his severance agreement has expired but it increasingly seems like a situation where fairly small stuff grew to seem like big stuff for a bunch of coaches and cricketers who had to spend morning, noon and night together.
It's just one guy's story and while some of it is certainly self-serving, other aspects ring true. We'd actually forgotten about the England team's fielder abuse of a few years ago, but it definitely happened and it's interesting to see that it was a big thing for some players. Shouting at those who misfielded or dropped catches always seemed childish and counterproductive but Pietersen portrays it as being one aspect of something broader and deeper-rooted – although he doesn't really give other examples. Similarly, you don't need to have seen more than one Andy Flower interview to know that the allegation that he built 'a regime, not a team' is probably quite a fair assessment.
But none of this is really shocking. It doesn't seem like petty squabbling, so much as mundane squabbling. The mystery is how it all came to seem like such a big deal that the ECB and Pietersen ended up pitted against each other. Maybe if the England cricket team weren't such a 365-day-a-year thing, everyone involved might have retained a bit more perspective.33 Appeals
Mop-up of the season
Everyone does end-of-season awards, but only ours are called The Horseys. Rest assured that more time was spent writing the column than coming up with the name.
If there was one bit that didn't get finished, it was the Every Dog Has Its Day Award. We didn't want to call it that. We wanted to name it after a great song by a terrible band or artist, but we couldn't really think of one that rang true. If you've any suggestions, leave a comment and we'll vehemently disagree with you and also lose a little respect for you on the basis of your taste in music.54 Appeals

Bruce Beckham, CEO of the travel industry nonprofit organization Tourism Cares, has announced his retirement, effective June 30. A search is under way for a successor. Beckham has been with Tourism Cares for more than 12 years, and in the coming months will work with the organization's executive committee and board to provide a seamless transition. Under Beckham's leadership, Tourism Cares partnered with industry organizations including the U.S. Tour Operators Association, the National Tour Association and ASTA and has brought more than 3,500 tourism industry volunteers to more than 20 sites across the U.S. for restoration projects. This year, the organization launched its Global Outreach educational and preservation program in Cuzco, Peru. Additionally, more than $500,000 in scholarships has been awarded to students studying travel and tourism and more than $2 million in grants has been given to tourism-related sites in 42 states and 31 countries. "Bruce's leadership has mobilized the travel industry to recognize the need for conservation and preservation of our treasured sites and the education of our future workforce," Dan Sullivan Jr., president of Collette Vacations and the chairman of Tourism Cares, said in a statement. Arthur C. Tauck Jr., chairman of Tauck and a co-founder of Tourism Cares, recalled in a statement that he has worked with Beckham "since the fledgling days of the Travelers Conservation Foundation, now Tourism Cares. Little did we know then that he was the man who would devote himself tirelessly to take an idea from its embryonic stage and develop it into an organization that has become synonymous with philanthropy across the travel industry."

Lucas Pope has released a very early development build of his latest project, Return of the Obra Dinn. While the website warns that there's "not much content", the build does a great job of conveying the game's wonderful atmosphere and introducing a few of the key concepts behind the title. Obra Dinn is the name of the merchant ship on which your adventure takes place. Lost on route to the Orient in 1802, the ship has returned to port four years later, and you've been sent to investigate as an insurance adjustor for the East India Company's London Office. Figuring out what happened aboard the Obra Dinn appears to be the central premise for the game, but how you accomplish that task is anything but ordinary.
Pope was the creator of the surprise hit Papers, Please, which made the seemingly mundane job of immigration inspector feel exciting and personal. It's great to see him take that unique outlook into his next game, but with such wildly different themes, mechanics, and audiovisuals (which he describes in great detail in his fantastic TIGForums DevLog). Can't wait for more.
A game about survival, sacrifice, and perverts…
Lisa is a quirky side-scrolling RPG set in a post apocalyptic wasteland. Beneath the charming and funny exterior is a world full of disgust and moral destruction. Players will learn what kind of person they are by being FORCED to make choices. These choices permanently effect the game play. If you want to save a party member from death, you will have to sacrifice the strength of your character. Whether it's taking a beating for them, or losing limbs in a Yakuza style apology, or some other inhuman way. You will learn that in this world being selfish and heartless is the only way to survive…
LISA was successfully funded on Kickstarter on December 14, 2013.

Very cool 80′s aesthetic going on in Drift Stage, a "modern evolution of the classic arcade racer". Planned features include a roster of cars inspired by 80′s and early 90′s designs, local and online multiplayer, and a host of single-player modes, including circuit races, time trials, and a character-oriented career mode. No release date set, but the team is targeting PC/Mac with mobile and console possibly to follow.
This is a video that mashes up quite a few trailers for doujin games that will be available at this year's Comiket (Comic Market), a Japanese self-published comic book festival (and the largest in the world, with over half a million attendees last year). Edelweiss, the doujin shmup developer behind Ether Vapor and Astebreed, has been putting these videos together for the past few years. The festival is taking place this weekend on August 15-17.
Links to each of the games featured in the video are available here on Edelweiss's website.
Tale of Tales is Kickstarting their latest project, Sunset. The premise is a cool one:
Sunset is a narrative-driven first-person videogame that takes place in a single apartment in a fictional South American city in the early 1970s. You play a housekeeper called Angela Burnes. Every week, an hour before sunset, you visit the swanky bachelor pad of Gabriel Ortega. You are given a number of tasks to do, but the temptation to go through his stuff is irresistible. As you get to know your mysterious employer better, you are sucked into a rebellious plot against a notorious dictator Generalísimo Ricardo Miraflores.
The Kickstarter description likens the game to Gone Home, which I personally enjoyed. Hopefully it's another step in the right direction for this genre.
New gameplay footage of the procedurally-generated open world game No Man's Sky, which is coming to PlayStation 4 as well as PC (EDIT: PC is actually unconfirmed). From the creators of Joe Danger.
In a turn-based reality, an alternate spacetime of real-time has been discovered. Unfortunately, the conflicting spacetimes have ripped apart the cosmos in a "real-time/turn-based time-vortex." That is the setup for Funktronic Labs' upcoming game, Nova-111, where turn-based strategic planning meets real-time reactions and urgency. The player is placed at the helm of the titular Nova-111, a relatively harmless research vessel tasked with exploring cavern after cavern in an effort to rescue survivors stranded after the vortex smashed the two spacetimes together.
Along the way, players will discover powerful upgrades to their ship and encounter many different types of obstacles in the form of environmental dangers and monsters. Some of these monsters will attack in turn-based time, and some in real-time. These two time scales, along with the monsters' differing attacks, fuse together to create an almost puzzle-like experience, and the player is quickly taught to approach enemy encounters more in dances of infighting and timing rather than simply engaging in direct combat.

Do you remember sitting in front of the TV on Saturday mornings with a big bowl of sugary cereal, watching the latest adventures of Proton Rider (Intern) Ace Ferrara as he fought off the Dino Menace? Wait – what? That was never a real Saturday-morning cartoon? Developer Philipp Seifried sure could have fooled me with his announcement trailer for the upcoming Ace Ferrara And The Dino Menace.
Described as "a space combat simulation game featuring mystery, romance, cat-augmentation, electronic brains, the Dino Wars, a scientific genius, his niece and her dog Ranger and a heartfelt appreciation for 80s sci-fi cartoons," Ace Ferrara And The Dino Menace places players in the role of the titular Ace Ferrara, who has managed to gain an internship working with his heroes – the elite Proton Riders. Inspired by classic space-dogfighting games like the Wing Commander series, the game will offer a campaign of objective-based missions, with the story progressing through briefings and downtime interactions on board the Proton Riders' flagship, Discordia. Philipp Seifried (the game's sole developer in charge of "graphics, code, music, writing and cat-petting") aims to launch the game on iOS devices this spring, with planned releases for Android, PC, and Mac following not too long after. You can keep up with the game's development through its DevLog on TIGForums.
Hit the jump for some early gameplay footage and screenshots of Ace Ferrara and The Dino Menace.
The teaser trailer above comes from Team Junkfish, announcing their next game, Monstrum. Previously known as Project: Maize, the game promises to be "Like Alien, but at sea." Team Junkfish hopes to "[focus] on the oft forgotten 'survival' element of survival horror games," by thrusting players into the dark corridors of an abandoned cargo ship, cut-off and alone – except for the presence of a deadly beast that stalks their every move. Players will have to avoid the monster as they search the ship for a possible way to escape, " using their wits and guile to evade the monster hunting them, running, hiding and luring it away with distractions to avoid getting killed." Offering permadeath and a procedurally-generated ship that changes each playthrough, Monstrum will also support the Oculus Rift for added
immersion pucker factor.
Team Junkfish plans to show off some gameplay at this year's GDC (Booth 1238) and EGX Rezzed in March, but curious players can follow the team's postings on on the Team Junkfish website or the Monstrum Facebook page for more information as it surfaces.
Following their namesake, indie studio Unknown Worlds (Natural Selection 2) has decided to explore new ground with their next project and will be taking a plunge into the unexplored depths. Titled Subnautica, the game "will combine elements of role playing, sandbox, exploration and cinematic games" in an underwater setting. Players will be able to construct and customize submersibles that they will then pilot into the unknown as they explore an alien ocean. Not much is known yet beyond these outlined gameplay goals just yet, but Unknown Worlds plans to keep the public up-to-date with a widespread social presence, including an official project website, blog, Twitter, and YouTube.

In mere minutes, Army paratroopers recently turned a quiet, empty field into a battleground. The more than 500 paratroopers who filled the skies were members of the Army's 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, which dropped onto the Malamute Drop Zone on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson as part of a massive three-day training mission designed to simulate the quick takeover of hostile enemy territory.
Austin, my younger son, goes off to camp this week, God Seekers camp at Birchwood Camp in Chugiak. I'm not sure I'm prepared for him to leave for three days. It's not that he is going off without me, but that I'm sending him completely alone, without brother or sister as well. Whenever I leave them, I feel comfortable knowing that all three have each other's backs. If I forget to tell the babysitter every rule, detail, or peculiarity about my children, the others will take care of it. They know just what to do to make each other feel better. They care for each other and look out for each other all the time. I never worry about a thing when I know they are together.

Unfortunately, as she was recovering her compromised immune system could not fight off an infection and she passed away.

Apr 7, 2011Being a big fan of both action movies and Pixar movies, I knew this movie was right for me. And sure enough, I ended up really enjoying the movie. Felt just like watching some of the great superhero movies out there.
Sep 29, 2011From super hero action to the importance of unity as a family, Pixar's "Incredibles" just amazes me of their powerful appeal and last. Man, it's just incredible....
Nov 4, 2011This Is A Really Good Movie... I Think Somewhat Overated... VERY VERY GOOD! The Best Movie Of 04! :D
Aug 12, 2011First of all I need to say that this was snubbed for a best picture nomination in 2004. I haven't seen The Aviator or Sideways but I actually thought this was better than Million Dollar Baby and the best movie I've seen from 2004. It's almost perfect in terms of kids movies. Its animation, storytelling, character originality and humor is so satisfying that I could watch this movie once a week and never get tired of it… Expand
Jan 16, 2012Fantastic animation, great action, originality and talented voice work make for a very entertaining Pixar adventure that pushes boundaries on the Pixar level. I give this film 87%.
Dec 29, 2012Let me say this is my favorite movie of all time. The storyline is one of the best i've ever seen, i mean come on, a family of superheros, who ever thought of that. It is so original and well written that it deserves a 10 across the board. Each character is built magnificently and fully, i never feel like one of the characters is just a sideshow, each on has a specific role and they fill it perfectly. What makes this movie so great is how you can relate to it, even though its about superheros. Their family and characters can easily relate to yours or people you know. overall this is one of the best animated films of all time. And i read the negative reviews and i mean come on, you just wrote those reviews to hurt its overall rating, there was no other point… Expand
Mar 30, 2012Brillance cannot begin to describe this movie. Pixar has made its best movie since Toy Story. A wonderful story, with compelling charcters mixed with action scenes that are better than action films. Pixar has put out a true masterpiece with The Incredibles.
Nov 27, 2013It would be very cliche to say it was incredible, but it was. Very clever story told with such poignancy. It really is great for all ages, which is something Pixar knows how to do well. Just fantastic.
Feb 5, 2013Didn't like this when it first came out and ignored it when it aired on cable TV. I gave this movie another try and I realized what I was missing. This is a great family film. It's action-packed and most importantly its got a wonderful message that Pixar never fails to deliver.
Mar 15, 2014Bird has created the unprecedented film that is not just a grand feature-length cartoon but a grand feature, period, a piece of animation that's involving across a spectrum of comedy, action, even drama.
Oct 4, 2010Perhaps second only to 'Finding Nemo' on Pixar's finest achievements list, 'The Incredibes' is one of the most exciting and action packed animated films ever made. The story is simple but perfect for a bucket load of special effects, the characters, especially Edna Mode, are memorable, the music is terrific and the animation is typically stunning for Pixar. A wondeful achievement.
Oct 31, 2010also, my favorite Pixar movie next to Finding Nemo and the Toy Story trilogy.
Nov 20, 2011I thought it was great. Some parts in the film are a little slow but overall its a great film. I enjoyed it from start to finish. The one flaw is that it could have been a bit shorter but besides that its still good.
May 25, 2012Amazing film AGAIN from Pixar. I'm not a big fan of superhero films but this one really amazes me. It has the comic element that is mixed with family affair and sympathy. Graphics are incredible and the plot is very exciting. This is an animation to a whole new level......
Jul 28, 2011Brad Bird does it again!!! If you like action movies, Pixar movies, and Brad Bird, this is totally the film for you. The Incredibles takes what made The Iron Giant great and makes it 3D. Brad Bird made The Iron Giant a masterpiece, and now he has made The Incredibles a masterpiece. The Incredibles is definitely worth watching.
Nov 15, 2011One of my favorite Pixar movies of all time. Pixar outdid itself by tying a genre that is unusual for a child's viewing - action. It is weaved perfectly, still giving themes of perseverance, family and courage. Notable scores were composed to perfectly suit several situations in the plot. Simply beautiful and stunning.
May 11, 2013Pixar are no strangers to pushing out strong, emotionally driven and groundbreaking, but when The Incredibles came along it really created a whole new landscape for its films.
In a world where superheroes are just about everywhere, there is a complete reliance on them from the general public, but they of course keep their identity..their most valuable asset, secret.
Mr. Incredible is the cream of the crop, superhuman strength and loved by the public. He is also getting married to ElastiGirl. But when he makes a judgement call by saving a suicidal man, who in turn decides to sue the hero, which sets off a chain of claims and court cases for "supers" all over the world, eventually driving them into exile.
The film then plays out in an almost sitcom like manner, with many quips of daily life and menial jobs, with Mr Incredible now under his real name of Bob Parr, working for an insurance company, bored with his routine life away from saving the world.But when he is set up to be the face of an unknown corporation which needs heroes, he soon suspects that something larger is afoot, but he must also tread carefully as he has yet to tell his wife of his activities.
The Incredibles combines the perfect blend of storytelling with plenty of animated action, but also throwing in a large message in the importance of family values and never to forget the past, as you will indeed be condemned to repeat, embrace and cherish those moments in your life which perhaps won't happen again.
Not only is this one of the best Pixar films to date, but could very well be one of the best superhero films to come around, live-action or animated, it simply doesn't matter, director Brad Bird has managed to find balance to how the modernisation of our current world can impact such events and phenomenons such as those with superpowers.
There is a perfect voice cast to push along this excellent film including Craig T. Nelson, Jason Lee, Holly Hunter and even Samuel L. Jackson, all separate characters with very different agendas, Mr Incredible would truly do anything for a trip back to the good old days, while his wife ElastiGirl may be content with normal life, but is more concerned about the well-being of her children.
There is also excellent comedy to be had, with hilarious characters in the form of Edna Mode, the heroes costume designer, and a little kid who sits outside waiting for something amazing to happen.
It truly adds up to a unique and brilliant take on being accepted in an unfamiliar society, which equals to a riveting and glorious film.… Expand
Oct 19, 2012Sometimes i really wonder why oscar snubs animated movies, i mean in terms of storytelling, humour and the entire chemistry among the animated characters is so real and satisfying that at one point u think that they're real people with a true emotions facing the daily crisis and learning to deal with it. The protagonist anguish and self denial is correctly drawn and younger character's reluctance to mix with daily life depiction is though humorous but there ia a sense of loss. It could have won the best picture had it not fallen into the trap of utter prejudice and lobbying. Also academy's attitude of shunting somebody's work for long time and then present them when they did not deserve.… Expand
Dec 23, 2012Bursting with eye-popping visuals, fast=paced action, a viscerally clever plot, a satirical twist flavoured with old-school comics and witty humour, The Incredibles is the shining example of Pixar's storytelling mastery.
Jan 23, 2013One of the best superhero movies ever made. The Incredibles is kind of a step in a different direction for Pixar, who are used to making brilliant G-rated kid movies, and this one was aimed for grown ups as much as it was for kids.
Aug 7, 2012This was a great movie, it brought lots of laughs and it kept you entertained the whole way through. If I were to pick an old, fun movie for my future child, i'd definitely get him the DVD of this film.
Jan 31, 2013I have no idea just how often I have seen this movie, and yet, I still enjoy it every time. It isn't my favorite Pixar movie but it's definitely somewhere at the top of that list. I love the animation. I love the voice acting. I love the characters. Such a wonderful parody, like watching the Fantastic 4 in a more "realistic" setting (I use that word very loosely for obvious reasons.) But, if I had to critique, I would say that the movie does focus a bit too much on Mr Incredible, particularly the first half of the movie. It does, however fix this in the second half, but I felt the rest of the family could have been a bit more included in the beginning and given a bit more time each to see how they were coping being "normal." Overall: A highly entertaining movie that will always be a centerpiece of my collection.… Expand
May 10, 2013Perhaps the best animated movie ever made. It's actually more like an actual superhero movie than something you'd expect to come out of Pixar (not that their other movies are bad.) It's just written in a way that adults can relate to more than little kids can, which is a good thing. The concept of a retired superhero who's tired of getting old is clever, and the animation itself is also really good. I'd say it's definitely Pixar's best.… Expand
Sep 14, 2013I love the movie and I love the game. So memorable, and enjoyable. It's a really well made movie all around. Some parts were kind of cheesy, which I didn't like. That and everything always blew up.
Apr 11, 2013In my opinion this is pixar's 4th best film (behind the toy story movies). This is a fun, action packed family movie that I would recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it. This was my first theater experience, and what an experience it was.
Mar 24, 2013What a whimsical and hilarious way to invent new superheros! This film is excellent for children through adult, containing gut-busting comedy and talented actors. It may mot be quite as suited for the younger end of children, as it contains material that may not be understandable to them.
Jul 4, 2013"The Incredibles" is truly incredible. While mastering inventive storytelling with CG animation; where can you go wrong. Its story is able to mask spectacles and is a great tribute to superheroes. Which super hero action and the importance of family, you are left hanging off your seat for more. With "The Incredibles", they do give you much more than an ordinary super hero flick.
Aug 5, 2013The Incredibles is one of Pixar's finest features with wonderful special effects and a tremendous heart not often found in many films, animated or live action. Children and adults alike will be blown away by The Incredibles.
Aug 23, 2013The incredibles makes honor to his name.Seriously,is so cool and fresh,than never gets old.The incredibles is incredible,and is superior to anything on animation.
Jul 7, 2014One of Pixar's best, just under 'Toy Story'. It felt like every good superhero movie mixed in to create one juggernaut of a film. Funny, smart, and presses on the important issue of family, I recommend this to any Pixar enthusiast.
Mar 5, 2014in my childhood, it was my favorite animated movie
after years, it still continuing very amazing
the pixar disney don't let down in their epic 3D animations
Jan 5, 2014A classic superhero cum kids movie, The Incredibles is great for the whole family. Adults will actually enjoy this movie, and it is a little bit less kid-oriented than some other Pixar flicks. Either way, definitely see if you haven't already.
Nov 12, 2013The Incredibles is Incredible.
A well paced well written story of super heroes that must learn to blend into society until a new villain emerges that threatens the public's safety. The Incredibles erupts with clever characters and emotional moments that all ages can cherish.
Mar 15, 2014i love brad birds animated films but even better the incredible's . sometimes i look at animated films in a different way but hey it i see a story about a super hero family which i actually enjoy at least it was better then watching tyler perry's meet the browns .
Nov 23, 2014The Incredibles es una película de animación con mucha acción que no solo logra obtener un buen resultado entre la fusión de vida personal y vida de super-héroe, si no que también es un buen film del género familiar.
Oct 13, 2014Another great achievement from Pixar, but with human characters. The film definitely reminds me of The Simpsons because of the great connection between the family. The character of Bob Parr has a passion of being a superhero which really shows through his character. It's got action, suspense, and is probably one of Pixar's most grown up films
Oct 19, 2014From the creators of "Toy Story," "Monsters, Inc." and "Finding Nemo," comes this hilarious action-packed animated adventure about superheroes and their lifes.
Delivers the perfect union - a vivid, sublime parody and valentine to the superhero genre.

LI Muslims rally to halt violence against Shia in Pakistan
A dozen Pakistani Muslims, speaking Tuesday from the steps of Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola, called for U.S. and international help to curtail long-standing sectarian violence against Shia in their homeland after a recent escalation left dozens dead.
Ali A. Mirza, an Elmont businessman, organized the event "to highlight what is happening in Pakistan and how these terrorists are killing innocent Pakistani citizens."
Pakistani-Americans who travel there also face death threats from extremists, he said.
The group, which included local business owners, limo drivers, an imam and stay-at-home moms, called on the administration of President Barack Obama and the United Nations to pressure Pakistan into pursuing those targeting their religious minority.

They asked that the United States withdraw monetary aid to Pakistan if it doesn't take bold action.
"Some of us who are standing here have lost our relatives in Pakistan," said Mirza, 54, once a candidate for the Nassau County Legislature.
They joined the outcry over a Sunday attack where a massive bombing outside a Karachi mosque left 48 dead and hundreds injured. Another two people were killed Monday as gunmen shot people returning from a funeral.
While there was no immediate claim of responsibility in the latest incidents, Sunni militant groups such as the Taliban and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi — who do not consider Shia to be true Muslims — have been known to carry out such attacks.
On Long Island, though, moderate Sunnis and Shias attend the same mosques and live in peace as Muslim Americans, event participants said.
Protesters also joined an afternoon demonstration outside the Consulate General of Pakistan in Manhattan yesterday. The consulate referred all questions to Pakistan's Mission to the United Nations, where a receptionist said officials had no comment.
The U.S. Department of State did not respond to a request for comment, but Farhan Haq, a spokesman for United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, said his office condemns the attacks.

While Julia often plays around with the hue of her hair, she almost always lets her signature shade of red shine through, sporting everything from auburn to copper to strawberry blond. At the premiere of Jesus Henry Christ at the Tribeca Film Festival over the weekend, it was the latter that she chose to go with this time around.

Leftovers. Still working on them. I wasn't going to make soup again. But it's cold- dh has church tonight, I have a job interview tomorrow and dd won't be home for dinner on Thursday b/c she's got Regional Orchestra Thursday and Friday (concert Friday night). I thought soup would be easy.
And now considering whether or not to make a batch of cookies for the kids tomorrow. It would be a "trial run" for a batch I'd make for the church Living Nativity. They give out cookies and cocoa and they like hommatde cookies rather than bought ones though they'll take the both).
Been decorating. Dh decided to volunteer our house for a Christmas party. Sigh. So now I HAVE to decorate. It's not like I don't have stuff. MIL was into ceramics for a while and I have 2 dozen Santas and a Nativity set she made.
Which leads me to this vent. Love the MIL to death. But she insists on doing "The 24 days of Christmas" where she buys 24 gifts and we open them every night. It started when my youngest was just born- before that she did stockings for everyone. It was supposed to make things easier b/c 3 sets of 24 is easier than 13 stockings of stuff.
And it was cute. When the kids were little. Now it's 24 days of Christmas knick-nacks that I have a TON of. I got Christmas stuff when mom downsized her house last year. I have Christmas stuff that my mom got rid of when my father passed away b/c she couldn't bear to put it out anymore :(
MIL said she was going to stop last year- but then said she couldn't stop buying stuff so she said she's going to continue until my youngest graduates high school. In 3 years. More than half the "stuff" she gives us goes right out the door to goodwill- I just don't have the room to store it anymore. Though- I have a box full of "nice" things that I wouldn't mind giving away that I think we're going to use as prizes for the silly games we do at our party.
If I can figure out how to post pictures on this site (if it still lets us) I'll put a picture of the Nativity and Santas MIL made. Haven't gotten the Santas out yet..........

We have our main tree up and decorated, our smaller tree is up with lights, waiting on decorations, My nativity set is up, and my Russian Santa collection is on the mantle. I still need to put out my snowman collection. We usually do a few wreaths outside, and some white lights in the front. We are supposed to get a big storm tomorrow, so I'm holding out on the outside stuff.
DH is getting a new tv for Christmas, and that should be arriving any day. DD23 has given me so many ideas, and I've bought her a few things. DD20 has said all she wants is "Love" for Christmas. This is very typical of her. She hates to ask for anything. I finally twisted her arm and got her to tell me she'd like to have a sorority sweatshirt and a new blow dryer.

A man allegedly stole an Augusta County school bus, and then he drove that bus into a building in Waynesboro.
Thirty-four year-old Joseph Henschel has been arrested, and he told police he was high on bath salts at the time.
The use of bath salts is rapidly growing.
Bath salts can be found in specialty shops, and even though they are illegal in some places, the problem has been on the rise here in the Valley.
When Henschel was arrested this morning he was allegedly showing all the signs of a bath salt overdose.
Police say he started having an emotional breakdown. After his arrest, police reported, he was flailing on the floor and twitching.
Medical experts say these are just a few signs of a bath salts overdose.
"We have seen lots of cases where they have caused people to behave erratically, become paranoid, delusion, aggressive. There have been cases where people had to be restrained," said behavioral health doctor, John Savides.
Bath salts is the street name of the chemical known as mephedrone. It's effects are said to be similar to methamphetamine use.

from the free-as-in-dead dept.
One of the distortions that the central banks do in keeping interest rates low is that it alters the balance between labour and capital investment. If interest rates are higher capital intensive robotics would be less profitable and make the higher ongoing cost of labour less uncompetitive in many situations.
Dick Smith doesn't say climate change is caused by foreigners and migrants... he is talking about infinite growth in Australia (and the World)... is not possible with finite resources. As in productive farm land, water, energy, materials mined out of the ground like copper and steal (iron ore). Some efficiencies can make better use of resources.... but they will always be finite and at best reusable.
Here is my improved version of the test... With proxy detection and text result output.
Gold isn't a speculative commodity, it is paper money that is the speculative commodity. Gold is money and has been for thousands of years. Gold is not the liability of anyone else (eg Central Banks). Paper money in many countries in the past has become worthless. Gold has never become worthless. Also I wouldn't say that the value of Gold has gone up, but the value of paper money has gone down.
The instantaneous cost of the commodity isn't what's at hand here, only the price obtained for the finished good relative to the commodity when it was purchased. The raw materials only cost 0.97 now? That's fantastic, until you realize that deflation still exists. Deflation is a trap for the producer that cuts into earnings. Also, I doubt many Chinese manufacturers are making a 47% margin.
To give another example... the raw material cost goes up to 1.10 but the price for the finished goods stays the same... the same problem occurs. Therefore inflation and deflation cause problems for producers when they lack pricing power (which much of china probably does).
You are the very first person I've ever heard attribute the current financial crisis to monetary inflation. At best, you could ascribe it to asset inflation, i.e. the housing crisis, but even that is a proximate cause. Inflation has been quite low over the past decade. A more immediate problem is the insane leveraging of financial institutions coupled with a serious lack of regulation.
Since you haven't heard anyone attribute the current financial crisis to monetary inflation, do some reading on the Austrian School of Economics and Austrian Business Cycle Theory.
I live in Australia and have always wondered about the security of cheques because of the place your bank account number on the cheque as well as a incrementing cheque number. The first thing I would do is make the cheque number pseudo random, so that someone who was able to get an image of a cheque wouldn't be able to create another valid cheque, just by increasing the cheque number. Even the account number could be a random number... which points to a record at the bank which determines which account the money has to come from. I think these changes could probably be implemented individually by a bank as well...ie. it wouldn't need other banks to know what is going on.
The speed of anything depends on the flow of everything.
