Where have you been? We've been talking about that for weeks! It's really cool isn't it! I'd love to see something on the making of the video.

Woo-hoo! They finally have the video up on the iTunes Music Store! Not sure how possible it is to do on the Windows version but there's a sneaky way to save the videos on the Mac version. I now have a copy of the video on MPEG4 format saved on my HD

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

Nice to have it in a half-decent size (the streaming versions are too small for my liking and are letterboxed - yeuch!) that I can save for future viewing, though

I've been playing THERE, and the reason I posted it is because it's apparently now in H.R. on MTV2.

What I'd like to know is how they did the video and what the budget was...obviously sone of the footage was stock, but I'd be interested in how they filmed the scenes with the band...they obviously didn't use the film's method of creating the glow effect, it looks much cleaner and more consistent...but could this be sort of a hidden jab from the guys in the band and Mr. Coppola, trying to drum of support for TRON-related projects?where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

I'd really love to see something about how they did it. It's a great video.

I don't think the references are part of a planned drumming up of support for TRON, but they certainly are helping raise awareness.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Here's the deal :

The Strokes band leader...
Their manager...
The video budget accountant...
A lot of other key people involved in this decision...

ALL have agreed to take this HUGE risk into making a video based on a 21 year old movie.

Plus, sadly enough, most of The Strokes targeted audience probably have'nt seen the original movie, but maybe they know about it as some old Hollywood relic.

Now put all of these elements together, regarldess of how crazy this all seems, the existence of the video is proof that either :

A - The Strokes are MAJOR Tron fans
B - Sheer nostlagia
C - Somthing else

Whatever it is, I salute those who have taken the bold decision to make this video a reality........come to think of it this is history repeating itself. I recall Mr. Lisberger having to convince a lot of Disney people to have the original movie made.

Again, all are glad that 1 - the movie was made and 2 - the video was made.

This post could have been resumed in one question that I would like The Strokes to answer :

"Why Tron ?"

Cheers

-=S=-

P.S. Don't get me wrong, I'm 150% happy about the results and I could not be happier they chose Tron

What I'd like to know is how Disney gave them permission to make the video but we can't get any side-art authorization!

Grrrrr!

I tried to help someone get Side Art approvals about a year ago, and it failed due to legal issues. It might be time to try again, but right now I don't have the time to give.

I need good side art for my machines.

You might be able to dig around in the 'temporary internet files' and save it from there.

It's up. It's an ASF format file, look in the File Archives.

You might be able to dig around in the 'temporary internet files' and save it from there.

I found out where iTunes/Win stores the temp file. Unfortunately due to the way Windows works I was unable to copy the file as it was already locked for use by iTunes. When you close iTunes the file is automatically deleted, and I didn't think people would be happy just pulling the plug on their PCs just to get the file.

I have a copy of it, though. The HFS+ file system on the Mac allows you to copy a file that another app has open so I was able to grab it that way.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online
