Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
When you say you like war movies it immediately reminds me of something. Has anyone seen the mistake in saving private ryan where you see a glimpse of two cameramen in white shirts running in the background of a war zone. Anyone who has the movie must have seen it!
Day After Tomorrow was a mediocre movie, but the effects were great. In particular, the tidal wave that swamped New York was totally awesome and was breathtakingly realistic.
A couple weeks after seeing the movie my wife and I were visiting with her niece and niece's husband who were visiting from Oakland and it turns out their best friends created that particular effect for the movie. (Just the one, all the other effects were done by other companies.) Seems they worked on it (on computers, of course) for more than nine months.
