Lupin

Pixelsurgeon has a review of the new DVD for the 1974 live action film: Lupin the Third: Strange Psychokinetic Strategy.

Potential unintentional subtitling humour might get me through – hero distracts cops with line, “Look, a beautiful naked woman is dead.” Also tells quite ugly love interest to, “Leave it to my psychokinesis.”

Spiderman 3 trailer is up on the Apple site. Second sequels have a tendency to blow, but this one might be OK.

Sniper

From slashdot:
“A study by South Korean physicists confirms what some of us have taken for granted for a long time: a single bid at end of auction nets the most wins. From the article: ‘Plugging all those data into the model and testing the outcome in terms of how the auctions turned out, the team found that the probability of submitting a winning bid on an item indeed drops with each bid. “Our analysis explicitly shows that the winning strategy is to bid at the last moment as the first attempt rather than incremental bidding from the start.” The study appears in the current Physical Review E journal.'”
