I totally agree. And I can't believe the commentator on ESPN was actually saying the Italian done a good job by falling that way and winning the penalty. Ridiculous. It should have gone to extra time. The Aussies were robbed.

EDIT: Just watched the England/Equador highlights. Maybe they should double the width of the goal and raise the crossbar 10 feet so Lampard can score.

Good morning all.

I spent the weekend camping on the Candada/USA border and had some problems at customs, hence the delay in getting back to the office.

With regard to Ricardo's memo, I can confirm that our prior employment roster of 1000 grues will be cut to 2, all clones will be disposed of, and sexxy parties are mandatory when reaching milestones ending in 00.

As mascots are deemed redundant, Nanner must find a different position within the company and is on half-pay until he decides what it is he actually does around here.

Warbler's antics are indeed a waste of company time and resources. Therefore I am going to offer him the chance to resume his role as honorary dignitary. If he refuses, we will mount a plan to confiscate his FrobozzCo keycards. The ball's in your court Warbler.

Having reviewed his application, I am pleased to announce that Dork313 will be joining the company as our bitch. The company roster is now as follows:

Me: Owner and Overlord
Ricardo: OOC
Sybeman: General Manager
Sean Wookie: Company 'Werepire'
Nanner Split: Unspecified General Employee
Dork313: Bitch

I was camping all weekend so I didn't see the England game but I heard the result on the radio. Sounds like it was a typical England performance. I hope we can get our act together for portugal.

Yeah, against England, and it put them out of the cup. Wanker.

I've already said this exact same thing in the thread about ILM selling their practical effects unit, but it fits here too so for anyone not following that thread I'll repeat myself:

I just watched Back to the Future 2. I found ILM's optical effects work in that movie to be far, far more impressive, believable and seamless than their recent digital work. These days, anyone can do CGI and we've all pointed out how easily it can be spotted, but BTTF2 is something else. Sure, you can catch the odd effect here and there, but does it detract? No. It pulls you into the movie. Seeing a real delorean lowered into a real set on wires or hydrolics is far better then seeing a CGI delorean. And to any detractors of model work out there: The model work in BTTF2 is bloody amazing. That shot where the delorean flies out of the sky, it's wheels return to their standard driving position, the car lands, drives down the street into a driveway and the dog gets out, all in one continuous shot: Fantastic.
