A report from pgCon 2013
Personally, I'd have found copyleft-next rather interesting and compelling if not for issues like this. An effort to produce a simpler copyleft license does not seem like an appropriate time to introduce novel opinionated additions.
FOSDEM: Richard Fontana on copyleft-next

But I do like the underlying idea behind this provision. It corrects what I consider to be an error in all previous copyleft licenses, an error that has had very troubling ethical consequences. You're right that another way to correct it is to encourage non-copyright-assignment/non-CLA copyleft project legal governance. However, I don't want this license to be tainted by that practice the way earlier/existing copyleft licenses have been. I feel quite strongly about this; you're not wrong to describe this provision as 'opinionated' in nature.

The main reason I don't consider this an error in previous copyleft licenses, and the reason I brought up assignments/CLAs: the copyleft licenses themselves have no inherent asymmetry. If you write a project yourself, and hold all the copyrights, I see absolutely nothing wrong with choosing a dual-licensing model, including one that provides paid non-copyleft licenses. If you accept contributions, then unless those contributors sign an assignment or CLA, you can no longer use that dual-licensing model without the agreement of those contributors. If you want to maintain that dual-licensing model while taking third-party contributions, you have to introduce an assignment or CLA, and *that* introduces the asymmetry; the copyleft license doesn't.
I see no asymmetry here, and thus I see no bug in existing copyleft licenses here.

Ethical consequences ...
Posted Feb 21, 2013 16:21 UTC (Thu) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link]
Let's say I've spent loads of time and money developing my product. I want to PROTECT my customers, like Qt/KDE did. It sounds like I can't use your licence to do it. Oooppsss.
Personally, I have no problem with people trying to monetise and sell their software. But as a customer I don't want to be trapped with outdated software and no source when technology moves on, and I think developers have a duty to their customers. Pity I can't use your licence to achieve that :-(
Cheers, Wol

The GPL promptly makes all my hard work in writing the software valueless (certainly in terms of being able to extract an income stream). You're imposing your "software wants to be free" ethic on me, and not respecting my "the labourer is worthy of his hire" ethic.
In my scenario *I* wrote the software, I want to *sell* the software, and I want to make sure that if I fall under a bus my customers won't be left up s**t creek.
Okay, that obviously means I don't buy in to *hard* copyleft, but your attitude is in the "GPL or die" camp. And you're using copyleft to enforce stuff that is outside the realm of copyright, namely you are (in practice) forrbidding copyright licencing agreements. That's exactly the sort of thing that alienates a lot of copyleft-friendly people who your copyleft-next is allegedly aimed at.
Just as the anti-tivoisation clauses in GPL3 alienated a lot people who saw them as stepping outside the realm of copyright and into the realm of enforcing idealism, so this clause to me smacks of exactly the same.
At the end of the day, if I am sole copyright holder (or have a licence from contributors that says I can) and distribute both proprietary and GPL versions, then those other contributors know up front what they're letting themselves in for. And it's a *contract* matter, not a *copyright* matter.
Equally to the point, I (should) know exactly what I as the copyright holder am letting myself in for. Actually, I have seen at first hand what happens when a company tries to convert their product into a dual-licence proprietary/GPL state. Firstly, they would never have touched your licence in a month of sundays. And secondly, it went rather tits-up because they didn't actually understand what they were getting themselves into. But even given that mess, they have a community. If you want to investigate, google "OpenQM". And people, if you find stuff you don't like, PLEASE don't dive in - they are nice people, really!

I believe you may be confusing "free as in freedom" with "free as in beer". After 25 or so years it is settled that businesses can extract income streams from GPL-licensed software.

No, I'm essentially saying 'if you use a strong copyleft license for some software you write, then if you also want to use a proprietary license for derivative works of that software, give everyone else the right to similarly use a proprietary license for their derivative works". It's an equality principle. Nothing is forbidden; quite the opposite. You are saying that it is okay for a company to have the sole right to do proprietary licensing of a GPL codebase -- that is obviously forbidding GPL licensees from entering into proprietary copyright licensing agreements covering *their* derivative works.

It's not the contributors I'm concerned about here, primarily, though one problem with the model you describe is it tends to discourage community contributions.

That's exactly the effect I wish to achieve.

Given the inherent controversy involved in releasing a new copyleft license, especially one not currently endorsed by the FSF, I think copyleft-next should strive for "simple" and "uncontroversial" as primary goals.

you either thing that
A) everyone agrees with you on this topic (hint, not everyone does, a lot of people are Ok with the idea of a project selling proprietary licences if it funds the opensource code)
B) this is such a critical item that it's worth having many people not use the license, or convert from it to GPL so that they can then sell the proprietary licenses.
and if you can't make that conversion to GPL to bypass the restriction, then you are imposing an additional restriction to what the GPL includes and are not GPL compatible)
Many times projects start off under one license, and it's only years later that they decide to raise money by selling GPL exceptions. In many cases, the uses that the code then gets put to would probably be legal even under the GPL, except for creating what would effectively be a mirror of an obsolete version of the source (unmodified code compiled and shipped in an appliance for example)
So this is a provision that is controversial, and can be pretty trivially bypassed, why is it so valuable again?
Posted Feb 15, 2013 3:36 UTC (Fri) by josh (subscriber, #17465) [Link]
I'd really like to see the simplest possible license that provides approximately the same set of essential protections as the GPLv{2,3}; thus, I'd really like to see this license act as a strict subset of those licenses.
Posted Feb 15, 2013 3:57 UTC (Fri) by rfontana (subscriber, #52677) [Link]
Of course I realize not everyone agrees with me. People disagree about licensing policy; some prefer noncopyleft, some prefer strong copyleft, some prefer weak copyleft. No issue with that; such diversity is great.
But this is not a matter of selling proprietary licenses to fund open source code, which strikes me either as a propagandistic or else a quaint way of seeing it. Rather, it's the problem of abusing copyleft specifically to sell proprietary licenses, with a number of specific attendant problems, such as promoting FUD around copyleft.
> B) this is such a critical item that it's worth having many people > not use the license, or convert from it to GPL so that they can then > sell the proprietary licenses.
There's some evidence that these kinds of problematic business models are in decline, so that supports the view that this may not be so critical. But if having a provision that effectively nullifies copyleft/proprietary dual-licensing tactics drives some people away because they want to engage in such tactics, I call that success. That's precisely the purpose of the provision: to drive those people or businesses away, so that, however few or many developers use copyleft-next, no one does so as a proprietary upsell gimmick. The only problem is that the provision in its current form may not be as clear as it could be in stating its objective.
> and if you can't make that conversion to GPL to bypass the > restriction, then you are imposing an additional restriction to what > the GPL includes and are not GPL compatible)
The license is explicitly outbound GPL-compatible. No GPL-incompatible restrictions will survive licensing derived works under the GPL. But no one should ever get to the point of having to convert to GPL to bypass the provision in question. A business (or its legal advisor) contemplating some copyleft-based open core scheme or the like will take one look at copyleft-next and decide to use some other copyleft license for such a purpose.
> So this is a provision that is controversial, and can be pretty > trivially bypassed, why is it so valuable again?
I'm afraid I don't see the controversy. I see a (probably declining) number of businesses using GPL/AGPL or other copyleft-based dual-licensing/open core/proprietary upsell business models. I happen to consider this cynical use of copyleft licensing to be a tremendous ethical failure. I have mainly encountered negative views of such business models from those who have sympathy for the core policy goals of strong copyleft.
As for bypassing it, the point is to discourage any use of the license for proprietary upsell purposes to begin with.

I'd still rather see this as an optional addition to the license, though, rather than a required provision.

The problem is how to you block the bad behaviour (which as you note is not especially popular to start with) without blocking the acceptable versions.
your 'Anti-MySQL' clause isn't any better than the FSF's 'Anti-Tivo' clause. both are reactions to fairly rare abuse cases, and both are divisive in that there are large numbers of people in the community who don't see the behaviour as being so wrong that it's worth complicating a licence (and loosing all the non-abusive variations of the behaviour) to block the abusive behaviour.
> A business (or its legal advisor) contemplating some copyleft-based open core scheme or the like will take one look at copyleft-next and decide to use some other copyleft license for such a purpose.
that assumes that that approach is in their minds at the start of the project. It may be something that's first discussed years into the project (when it gets big enough and functional enough for people to be interested in paying for it)
It's very common for projects to start and grow, and then hit a crisis where the work to maintain them is large enough to need the core people paid to do the work, but not have a funding source in place to do this. It's times like this that the 'run it through the GPL to strip this clause' would happen.
Posted Feb 21, 2013 10:41 UTC (Thu) by Otus (guest, #67685) [Link]
Suppose project A decides they are OK with the provision preventing an open core model and decide to use copyleft-next (CN) for their license. What's to stop them from rethinking later, changing the project license to GPL and developing a proprietary version with the open core model?
Yes, the lack of copyright for parts of the code would do that unless they require copyright assignment or a more permissive contributor license, but how is that any different from the situation of CN without the provision?
IOW, I don't see how the provision adds any restrictions on use of the code or project format. It just means if some project does eventually decide to go open core, their further contributions will no longer be compatible with other CN projects, only GPL ones. That seems to hurt only those who use CN "in good faith" as their license.
Posted Feb 21, 2013 14:39 UTC (Thu) by rfontana (subscriber, #52677) [Link]
That's right; it doesn't. It is meant to be a strong disincentive to use copyleft-next for copyleft/proprietary dual-licensing (by nullifying its whole basis, which is monopolization of the proprietization right), and to confine such conduct to other licenses.
> It just means if some project does eventually decide to go open > core, their further contributions will no longer be compatible with > other CN projects, only GPL ones. That seems to hurt only those who > use CN "in good faith" as their license.
That's an interesting argument. The effect of this provision would (let us assume) be to drive such a project (or to be more precise, the business or entrepreneur behind it) to other licenses, these days most likely the GPL or AGPL. So you're arguing that this is just a loss for a copyleft-next code commons because it will be deprived of some ability to use this open core code that might otherwise be under copyleft-next.
First, such open core code will remain available for use by copyleft-next projects provided it is a 'Separate Work' (outside the scope of copyleft).
Second, assuming the open core project uses GPLv2/GPLv3/AGPLv3, such open core code will be usable *inside the scope* of copyleft-next works, with the theoretical effect being that the larger work will be under GPLv2 or GPLv3 or some mixture of GPLv3/AGPLv3. This need not have the effect of taking the *copyleft-next* code out of the copyleft-next commons, so it doesn't seem like a huge loss. After all, this nature of code combination occurs precisely because copyleft-next is designed to be outbound-compatible with the GPL.
So I think your argument reduces to the argument that this provision would have the effect of keeping the universe of copyleft-next projects smaller. To me, this is *possible*, but it seems unlikely to be meaningful unless copyleft-next becomes significantly popular (which would be great but admittedly is not the case at the moment :). And if it did become popular, I would see it as all the more important to have this provision in, to prevent the 'gaming' of copyleft-next that we've seen with other copyleft licenses.
In short, I'd rather have the copyleft-next universe be smaller and limited to 'good-faith' projects, with the problematic conduct confined to existing copyleft licenses like GPL/AGPL, than have the copyleft-next universe be larger.
Posted Feb 15, 2013 2:06 UTC (Fri) by rfontana (subscriber, #52677) [Link]
In this sense referring to it as a 'poison pill', while sort of appealing, may be misleading. It's effectively a "keep away from this license if that's what you want to use copyleft for" sign.

Just like the 'anti-tivo' clause in GPLv3 did a lot to cause the split in developers, this 'anti-mysql' clause in this license will split developers as well
If your purpose is to divide the community further, then go ahead.
but if you want to unify the community drop this clause
Posted Feb 24, 2013 2:19 UTC (Sun) by rahulsundaram (subscriber, #21946) [Link]
Besides your argument is too simplistic. BSD communities don't prefer any copyleft licenses at all so even GPLv2 was very divisive for them. So we have to ask ourselves, what is the target of the license and which communities are we helping?
Posted Feb 24, 2013 3:29 UTC (Sun) by rfontana (subscriber, #52677) [Link]
There is a big difference between the copyleft-next provision and the anti-lockdown provision of GPLv3. The copyleft-next provision works by granting additional freedom to downstream users (freedom for everyone to escape copyleft, giving everyone an equal right to create proprietary derivative works rather than monopolizing that right in the upstream licensor). The GPLv3 provision imposes an additional requirement on downstream distributors (beyond pre-GPLv3 consensus understanding of GPL copyleft requirements). So the comparison seems odd to me.
> If your purpose is to divide the community further, then go ahead. > but if you want to unify the community drop this clause
This makes it sound as though there is a sizable "community" of people who are thrilled or enthusiastic about copyleft/proprietary dual-licensing/open core business models. I see no evidence that such a community exists. The effect of this provision will simply be that those who wish to extend the life of this peculiar legacy use of copyleft will continue to use the licenses that are being used for this purpose today.
Posted Feb 25, 2013 21:40 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
they used almost the exact same language you are using to defend that provision
Posted Feb 26, 2013 2:46 UTC (Tue) by rfontana (subscriber, #52677) [Link]
GPLv3 section 6 states that the anti-lockdown provision does not apply "if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product".
In other words, the policy problem the anti-lockdown provision was aimed at (by the time of its reformulation in public Draft 3 of GPLv3) was the asymmetry of upstream (or some third party) being able to install modified versions on the user's device, with the user being technically thwarted from exercising a similar freedom to install modified versions on the user's device.
In the copyleft-next provision, the original licensor is effectively saying "If I get to create proprietary derivative works, then you ought to have the same right to create proprietary derivative works".
There's also an equality principle underlying some of the GPLv3 patent provisions that have no counterpart in copyleft-next. So, yes, principles of equality and nondiscrimination are part of the legacy of the GPL family (and I suppose FLOSS licenses generally), but different licenses implement those principles in different ways. For example, pure non-copyleft licenses say "everyone getting *this* copy gets an equal right to create proprietary derivative works".

2WD V6 5dr EX
Starting at $30,890 | Starting at 20 MPG City - 30 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
A full-size crossover with seating for five, the 2013 Honda Crosstour boasts a redefined interior and exterior. Engine options include a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 192 hp and an optional 3.5-liter V6 engine that yields 278 hp. The standard engine is paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission while the optional V6 is mated to a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Drivetrains consist of standard FWD and optional 4WD, enabling the Crosstour to achieve an EPA estimated 19 mpg city to 31 mpg highway. Features include dual-zone automatic climate control, moonroof, 18-inch alloy wheels, navigation, and leather seating. Safety is packaged in advance airbags, vehicle stability assist (VSA), traction control system (TCS), anti-lock braking (ABS), and brake assist (BA). The Crosstour is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.
The Crosstour derives much of its value from its versatility. It is a mix of sedan, station wagon and SUV, taking the best parts of each type of vehicle and combining them into a one solidly built crossover. Fuel economy is on par with most midsized sedans, while ground clearance is increased for rough road capability. The Crosstour is reasonably priced starting at well below $28,000-- $500 cheaper than last year's model.
The Crosstour receives a major refresh going into the 2013 model year. The exterior is revised, while the interior quality has been improved through new materials and more features. V6 versions of the Crosstour also receive a new, more powerful engine, improving performance. New technologies available on the Crosstour include LaneWatch blind spot detection, Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning systems; increasing the safety of the vehicle.
The Crosstour comes with a choice of two different engines. The base engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder, making 192 hp. The V6 is brand new for 2013, displaces 3.5L and makes 278 hp.

Charlayne Hunter-Gault (b. 1942) Charlayne Hunter-Gault holds a place in Georgia civil rights history as one of the first two African American students admitted to the University of Georgia. Also known for her career as an award-winning journalist, Hunter-Gault is respected for her work on television and in print. Childhood and Family Charlayne Hunter was born on February 27, 1942, in Due West, South Carolina. The oldest child of Althea Ruth Brown and Charles S. H. Hunter Jr., Hunter
Once again at Turner High School, Hunter was active in numerous clubs and student organizations, including the school newspaper, the student council, and the honor society. During her junior year, she surprised her Methodist family by converting to Roman Catholicism. Elected homecoming queen her senior year, Hunter graduated in 1959, third in her class. The Desegregation of the University of Georgia Interested in journalism
While Hunter began her
Hunter and Holmes arrived on the UGA campus on January 9, 1961, to register for classes. The new students were met with taunts and racial epithets. Two days later, after a basketball game, a crowd gathered outside Hunter's dormitory, smashing windows with bottles and bricks. The mob was finally dispersed by Athens police armed with tear gas. That night the Georgia State Patrol escorted the students back to their homes in Atlanta, and the University of Georgia suspended both Hunter and Holmes, supposedly for their own safety. Days later, after a new court order was issued, the students returned to campus and resumed their classes. As the writer Calvin Trillin noted in his account of their experience, Hunter "attracted much more attention than Hamilton," who lived off campus and went home on weekends. Hunter was sometimes met with animosity from students who jeered at her while she crossed campus, but she formed several friendships, including one with Walter Stovall, a fellow journalism student. They married in 1961, had a daughter, and divorced a few years later. Journalism Career Hunter graduated from UGA in 1963 and accepted her first job as an editorial assistant at the New Yorker magazine in New York City. After advancing to the position of staff writer, she left the magazine to accept a Russell Sage Fellowship for one year, then worked as a reporter and evening anchor for WRC-TV in Washington, D.C., for another year. Hunter returned to print journalism in 1968, joining the metropolitan staff of the New York Times and establishing the newspaper's Harlem bureau. While working at the paper, Hunter married Ronald Gault, a banker, and had a son. Hunter-Gault left the New York Times in 1978 to join PBS's MacNeil/Lehrer Report, becoming national correspondent and filling in as anchor when the program expanded to become The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour (later The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer). Hunter-Gault left public television in 1997 to join her husband, who had been transferred to South Africa; she became the chief correspondent in Africa for National Public Radio (NPR). She departed NPR in 1999 to join CNN, where she served as the network's bureau chief and correspondent in Johannesburg, South Africa, until 2005. As a journalist Hunter-Gault has received numerous awards, including two National News and Documentary Emmy Awards as well as two Peabody Awards. Hunter-Gault and the University of Georgia Today In
In 2001 the Academic Building where Hunter-Gault and Holmes first registered for classes at UGA was named the Holmes-Hunter Academic Building to mark the fortieth anniversary of the school's desegregation. Ten years later, as part of UGA's celebration of the event's fiftieth anniversary, Hunter-Gault donated her papers to the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies.

Serves 4
There are very many versions of chocolate chile chicken, but I chose to include this one as it's fantastically quick and easy to make. I can't promise it's authentic, but it does have the wow factor, and the Venezuelan chocolate adds a deep, rich, glossy finish and flavor.
Heat the oven to 400°F.
In a casserole dish, sauté the shallots and the garlic in the olive oil, then add the chicken pieces and brown on all sides. Add the orange juice and zest, fresh and dried chiles, coriander seeds, tomatoes and sugar and simmer for 5 minutes. Pop on the lid and cook in the oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, lift out the chicken and stir the chocolate into the remaining sauce. Serve with the sauce smothered over the chicken with generous amounts of chopped or torn coriander leaves.

by hotncookin, 3/10/2013This recipe was going great and smelled fabulous until.......I added the chocolate. It ruined the dish.....it was way too chocolatey......I could not find the type of chocolate the recipe called for, so I used a bar that was 60% cocoa......evidently this was too sweet. It would be nice if an alternative or at least the percentage of cocoa could be suggested. I was quite disappointed, and yes that could have been my fault due to the type of chocolate I used.
by skittlecrack, 11/29/2012this recipe was absolutely horrid. i've never tried such a fail of a recipe. i believe that it calls for WAY too much chocolate (perhaps cocoa powder would've been better) and i think that it would be best to leave the orange out completely. with the amount of chocolate it calls for, it hardly matters how much of any of the other spices you add, it absolutely consumes it and you will not taste your other spices. i ended up having to try to turn this into like a barbecue/sloppy joe (which was still a fail) by adding an entire can of chipotles in adobo sauce and barbecue sauce. did the creator of the recipe accidentally list the wrong volumes of each ingredient? anyhow, i'd say this is an unsalvageable recipe that wasted some expensive ingredients.
by angray8, 6/21/2012I loved this recipe. First-- it is extra easy to make, second-- it's exotic, third--- it is delightfully rich. I made this for my anniversary. My husband bought some nice red qine so I wanted to make a dish that went with the wine. Since i don't like red meat I thought that chocolate would be a perfect match. And it was, it matched perfectly. My only complaint is that some of the indgedients are difficult to fined, but finding substitutes are easy and still taste great. If you want something different and delicious make this recipe.

Rise of the CGI
... why not just put the damn actors in make-up?
I've read takes on the film praising the amazing quality of the CGI and yet, when I look at stills, trailers and hi-def clips from the movie, it looks to me, yet again, as fake as fake can be. Why? Why do others see great looking creations while I see elaborate cut-scenes from video games?
I don't know the answer to that, maybe I never will. Maybe I just hate the fact that the loss of great make-up artistry is a loss of great artists whose work took until 1981 to be recognized by the Academy and now, barely thirty years later, it's already disappearing.

I've been sick of the whole computer generated looks for quite a while now..It all has that perfect squeaky clean toy-like appearence..zzZZzzz
Last month I saw Takashi Miike's latest,13 Assassins..I felt like I was seeing something made 40 years ago..Aside from a few structures getting blown-up,the old fashioned way and some flaming buffalos,it was all human flesh,blood,sweat and tears..pure body language. - August 9, 2011 at 1:52 AM
- Greg said...
I just don't see the problem with make-up. CGI as a replacement for matte painting seems okay (both have about the same appearance) but make-up is demonstrably better. Maybe in another twenty or thirty years the CGI will look convincing to me but, for now, it still looks "drawn" no matter how much detail they give to the skin, hair, eyes, etc.

I feel exactly the same way as you do, Greg. I look at the trailer and promo photos for RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES and the first thought that pops into my mind is, "Man, the CGI looks utterly crap on that film." And then I start feeling like an alien because according to every review I've read and various comments expressed by others, the rest of the world thinks the movie looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I just don't get it but thankfully my husband agrees with me (and so do you!) so I'm not completely isolated in my loathing for the look of that movie. And I'm not even sure why I hate the way the film looks. I suppose it's because I don't mind CGI as much when I'm watching a film about a fantasy monster (like Cloverfield or Starship Troopers for example) but if I'm watching a CGI rendition of a real creature that I've observed with my own eyes at the zoo and in countless nature docs, I guess I just can't "suspend my disbelief" all that easily.
That being said, I have a natural disposition towards all the summer blockbusters this summer. I mean, do we need any more generic cliche-ridden superhero movies? YAWN! Cowboys and Aliens? A match made in HELL if you ask me. '80s era cartoons (Smurfs/Transformers) made into live-action movies? ENOUGH ALREADY! Um yeah... I guess I'm a bit jaded. I'm hoping next summer will offer up more interesting movies like Ridley Scott's PROMETHEUS so I'm saving my pennies. And this fall there are a lot of films I'm interested in seeing like Von Trier's MELANCHOLIA, Polanski's CARNAGE, Jeff Nichols' TAKE SHELTER and I think the new adaptation of TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY looks pretty interesting, just to name a few. I doubt that all the films I just mentioned (besides the last) will get a wide release and I'll probably have to wait until they're available on DVD to see them. The simple fact is that many of best movies being made today aren't playing at your local multiplex and very few of them have the budget for any CGI. - August 9, 2011 at 9:29 PM
- Greg said...
I too have no desire to see the blockbusters you mentioned. Summer rarely offers up much of anything I want to see. The great dramas and comedies, horror and sci-fi, seem to come in the off-season more often than not. The stuff offered up for the summer is aimed directly at an audience that I definitely don't belong to.
but if I'm watching a CGI rendition of a real creature that I've observed with my own eyes at the zoo and in countless nature docs, I guess I just can't "suspend my disbelief" all that easily.
And that's exactly how I feel! I don't understand why they couldn't use CGI for the hoards of rising apes but keep the main character, Caesar, as a live-action actor in makeup. Hollywood is filled with extremely talented make-up artists. I mean, Tim Roth, in the Burton version, looked absolutely great, and that was ten years ago. Imagine what they could do now.
It drives me nuts. I swear, the people saying it looks great, I just don't know what they're seeing. - August 9, 2011 at 11:15 PM
- JR said...
Another vote for it looks terrible and I don't get why people think it looks good. It has that weird, shiny, softened, glowy look that is absolutely fake looking. Real things don't look like it. I always feel like I'm watching a video game when I see CGI of people/animals in films; maybe the people who think it looks good play video games all the time and because it's better than that, they think it's real. I don't know. I hate it and want it to go away.

I've only seen clips from Burton's version because it just didn't interest me but you're totally right. Even if the film was utter crap at least the makeup was great.
t has that weird, shiny, softened, glowy look that is absolutely fake looking. Real things don't look like it.
I totally agree with you JR. It looks like someone covered the camera lens in gooey golden vaseline. I often feel like I'm looking at a closeup shot of an aging actress in a 1950s melodrama. I've played a lot of video games and watched a lot of animation but I still have a weird gut reaction to bad (in my eyes anyway) CGI.
Obviously we've all been cursed with an anti-CGI gene. I kind of feel like Rowdy Roddy Piper in THEY LIVE after he found the glasses. Everyone else is seeing a great film that you should spend money on but all I see are the words "Obey" and "Consume" when I'm watching the trailer. I'm not particularly happy about it. I wish I could get excited about RISE OF PLANET OF THE APES or CAPTAIN AMERICA but I just can't. - August 10, 2011 at 12:13 AM
- Greg said...
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick CGI's ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum.
JR and Kimberly, video games is exactly the feel I get but didn't express it when I wrote this so I went ahead and changed the line in the piece to it looking like video game cut-scenes to me because that is what it looks like. It doesn't really match up well with the real actors on the set and has the softened edges that, I suppose, the makers of it think makes it look natural but it pulls it out of the movie for me.
I saw Dragonheart on tv the other day (hadn't seen it since 1996) and was amazed by how obvious the CGI was. I hadn't seen it as much at the time but now, wow, does it stand out! I wonder if in 15 years Rise of the Planet of the Apes will look just as fake to the people who now think it looks great. - August 10, 2011 at 7:34 AM

Blame Avatar. It made a shit load of money on a lame premise with BS CGI effects, and the crowds ate it up. To this day, I have refused to see that film since IMHO it has single handedly destroyed the genre, and the craftsmen (and women) who made it. Willis O'Brien and Jack Pierce are probably turning over in their graves. And as for Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes remake, save your time Kimberly. The film stinks, and the only good thing about it was the makeup. Since you've seen that, you need see no more.

Sometimes CGI can look superb, as Spielberg and Peter Jackson have shown. I don't watch Jackson's KING KONG and wish, for all that movie's faults, that they'd created Kong any other way.
But I agree on this movie. None of the CGI looks very good. It's in no way cutting edge. At first, before the movie came out, I thought it was just an almost done, but unpolished, version of what we'd see, because the ads for KING KONG made me similarly concerned, until I actually saw the film. But the ads for RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES haven't changed. The CGI still looks the same. So...I guess that's it, then. - August 10, 2011 at 12:12 PM
- Greg said...
Fred, I had a very mixed reaction to Avatar. I reviewed it here when it came out and basically found more bad than good but the action sequences were well-directed. The blue people, though, never looked like real physical entities on the set in front of the camera. They looked like animations.
I bought the DVD of Burton's version when it came out thinking once I saw it I'd love it (I love POTA movies so much) and, thus, would be good to own for when I watched it again.
Nine years later, that still hasn't happened. - August 10, 2011 at 1:24 PM
- Greg said...
Bill, one of the things that never ceases to amaze me is how good the CGI looks in Jurassic Park. Now, our oldest son loves it and has put in the DVD countless times so, I assure you, I'm not working off a twenty year memory here. I've seen the CGI in that movie often and recently. And I'm telling you, it STILL looks better than CGI today, almost twenty years later. It's amazing!
Obviously, it helps that Spielberg had models built for much of the action and the CGI only for running movements but still, when the T-Rex is in pursuit of the jeep, it looks completely real.
And, I agree that Jackson's Kong looks a lot better than Caesar does here. Maybe there should be some kind of movie law that only Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson be allowed to use CGI for anything outside of backdrop effects. - August 10, 2011 at 1:28 PM

Like you I am a lifelong PLANET OF THE APES fanatic, and only just several weeks ago escorted my entire family over to Manhattan's Film Forum to see the original Schaffner version on the big screen, even after uncountable viewings over the years. So I approached this new release with trepedition, especially after the disaster perpetrated by Tim Burton.
I must say the CGI work the new film is commendable and tyhe film is pretty much as good as the majority concensus has gloriously proclaimed. Franco is affecting and the film bears some striking narrative and thematic similarities as the extraordinary documentary PROJECT NIM, that just released weeks ago.
But let's see how it washes with you.... - August 12, 2011 at 1:44 PM
- Greg said...
Well, Sam, despite the crankiness of this post I'm sure I'll like it. I'm very, very forgiving of sci-fi and this one sounds pretty good. I just hate the look of CGI, that's all. If the movie's good and the CGI's bad, I'll still like the movie. It's just that I would have preferred make-up instead.
And I am SO jealous that you got to see the original on the big screen! Man, I love that movie! - August 12, 2011 at 2:01 PM
- Pierre Fournier said...
I'm with you cranks and crabapples. Ever see the 40's SUPERMAN with Kirk Alyn? When Superman flew, they'd cut from live action to cell animation. Don't know if it "worked" back then, but it looks ridiculous today. I get the same jarring effect when a CGI character appears. It's like watching a strange hybrid movie where the live action is suddenly interrupted by animated sequences.
There's also a problem of scale and exaggeration. CGI can provide very convincing backgrounds, like Victorian London or Depression-era New York, but then you get the recent SHERLOCK HOLMES with a finale atop a skyscraper-high bridge, with the whole city beyond, vast cloudy skies and a setting (rising?) sun, and the scale is so huge you stop believing what you see. The atrocious VAN HELSING had a castle bigger than the Sears Tower (or whatever the hell it's called now), and rooms the size of a train station.
Then there's exaggeration. The original KING KONG had the sailors chased by a brontosaur. In the Jackson version, it's a full bronto stampede, hundreds of them, PLUS raptors running between their legs, PLUS the whole thing staged on a crumbling cliff edge path. And it goes on, and on, and on. The T-Rex scene was amped up with 3 T-Rexes, and they had the dinosaurs swinging from vines in a bottomless ravine. I'm still thrilled by the jerky stop-mo T-Rex in the original, but I'm bored with the super-scale CGI.
And while I'm at it, I also detest the motion capture films like POLAR EXPRESS. They creep me out. Looks like Tom Hanks was killed, stuffed and animatronicked, like a Disneyworld Hall of Presidents figure.
No doubt someday, and soon, CGI will be seamless. And yes, Greg, RISE will look fake to everyone in 15 years. That's when we'll get a remake. - August 14, 2011 at 3:21 AM
- Greg said...
The atrocious VAN HELSING had a castle bigger than the Sears Tower (or whatever the hell it's called now), and rooms the size of a train station.
And the worst werewolf transformation in film history!
And, yes(!), I'm so with you on the exaggeration aspects. I've run down the dino scenes from Jackson's King Kong countless times only to be met with, "Oh, come on, it was kind of fun." But, no, it wasn't. It. Was. Dull. When you do too much, it's boring. And I'm talking here about anything, not just CGI. When a director no longer understands that tight editing can make an action sequence better, all is lost. But there's this mentality that every frame is sacred and nothing can be cut. - August 14, 2011 at 10:50 AM

The complaints in these comments remind me of audiophiles with self-proclaimed "golden ears" prattling on about the nuances of various pieces of hi-fi equipment; and when put to an actual listening test, wouldn't be able to discern one from the other.
You people know CGI when you've something as conspicuous as, I dunno, aliens, fully bipedal apes, or over-sized castles to look at. However, I can assure you that you're often looking at CGI, but don't realize it.
Also, if you've seen an examples of makeup work in person, you'd realize it's amazing it works at all, if not for the skill of the DP and others involved. Some stuff I've seen described as "really good" looked like the work of elementary school kids in person. The makeup artist deserves credit, but certainly not all of it.
Finally, some of you "don't see the problem with makeup". It depends. If the situation can most readily be addressed with makeup, the VFX sup will choose makeup. If there are unknowns at the time a decision needs to be made, CGI is arguably a safer choice in certain situations. - August 26, 2011 at 8:12 PM
- Greg said...
Future Primitive, I agree that often times people don't know they're looking at CGI, like in Zodiac for instance, which uses CGI for a lot of the period set and city art direction. And you've seen us praise CGI (see my comments on Spielberg). My point there is that the detail given to the work makes all the difference. With Spielberg, the time and money and detail that went into Jurassic Park made a clear difference whereas in later movies, CGI was used as a quick shortcut.
For a movie like Rise of the Planet of the Apes, with enough money and time, I think it could have been a good area for compromise, where the lead character, Ceasar, could have been done in makeup and the rest of the apes CGI'd. But again, I don't know the specifics and details of the production and, as you've seen here, everyone who has seen it seems to like it quite a bit, as I'm sure I will as well.
In the end, I think makeup artists are underrated, espececially when doing a movie without an alien, ape or mutilated creature but simply actors made to look a little older or younger. All I'm really doing here is mourning the inevitable loss of a great art form just as I have and would for the loss of great model makers for miniature shots. Sure, CGI will eventually be able to do all of it better but it's still cool as hell to see the real thing. - August 27, 2011 at 1:15 PM

Football: Marcus kicks it up a notch in regular season finale, defeats Hebron
By Justin Thomas,
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 5:15 PM CST
CARROLLTON - With each passing game, Marcus' offense is looking more and more like that of seasons past.
Friday's District 5-5A finale against Hebron was a typical Marauder effort.
Marcus (4-6, 2-3 in district) grinded out 289 yards on the ground as a team and held the Hawks (6-4, 3-2) scoreless in the second half as the Marauders picked up a 27-10 victory.
Marcus - which will be making its sixth consecutive postseason appearance - won for the third time in four games and is the runner-up in Division I from 5-5A. The Marauders will face Euless Trinity (8-2, 7-0 in District 6-5A) at 2 p.m. Saturday at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
The Hawks will be the runner-up in Division II from the district and will take on an opponent to be determined.
"We just needed a little time and luckily we've bought ourselves a little more time now," said Bryan Erwin, Marcus head coach. "We're having fun now. These guys are loving each other and we just want to enjoy every minute we have left. Tonight, we wanted to be physical and execute and bring it to [Hebron]. I thought we did that."
Running back Court Prescott carried 40 times in the win for 217 yards and a touchdown in addition to throwing for a touchdown pass. Mark Demery chipped in 52 yards on eight attempts, including a 22-yard touchdown run in the final two minutes, as well as an 11-yard rush on third-and-long that moved the Marauders in position to kick a field goal to push the lead to 20-10 with 4:55 remaining in the fourth quarter.
"Mark has gotten better over the last three or four weeks and has really improved," Erwin said. "He's a junior and we're looking for big things from him next year. I was proud to see him make and a make a play and be explosive. He's a great kid and we need that from him."
The Marauders were able to overcome 10 penalties for 115 yards. Hebron wasn't immune to mistakes either, racking up 50 yards on penalties in the final two quarters. The Hawks had just one first down in the second half as Marcus controlled the clock until running back Vandy Parkes picked up the necessary yardage to move the sticks on a reception on fourth-and-six with less than five minutes left in the game.
Hebron quarterback Brian Dean completed 13-of-20 passes for 123 yards, while Parkes gained 117 yards on 16 carries to go with a team-high four catches for 42 yards.
Each team chewed up yardage on the ground in the first half as both Prescott and Parkes went over the century mark for their respective teams.
The former was a workhorse, toting the ball 21 times in the first two quarters. But it was Prescott's arm that actually provided Marcus with its lone touchdown of the half when he connected with Brian Bowling on a halfback pass on fourth-and-four from the Hebron 15-yard line.
"The running game has been great and helps out the defense a ton," Erwin said. "I thought the opening drive of the second half was big when we were facing first-and-20 and we were able to convert. We end up going on about a 7-minute drive there and scoring and that was huge. I thought all three phases played well and this was a great team victory. I'm very proud of our players."
Parkes racked up his yardage via the big play, galloping 73 yards - using a spin move to get into the open field - on the first play from scrimmage following a Marcus turnover on downs to put the Hawks in front, 10-3, with 9:45 remaining in the second quarter.
"We played well defensively other than that one play," Erwin said. "We missed a couple of tackles and we just have to find a way to get them on the ground. But our guys prepared defensively and played great."
Each team also drove into opposing territory on their opening possessions but had to settle for field goals.
Marcus got as deep as the Hebron 4-yard line on its first drive before settling for a 22-yard field goal from Tyler Mouton, while the Hawks penetrated to the Marcus 3-yard line before knotting the game, 3-3, on a 24-yard field goal by Joel Carlos.
Dean was also efficient through the air in the first half for Hebron, completing all five of his passes for 63 yards, including two apiece to Riley Ransom and Parkes.
Now both teams shift their attention to the postseason.
"We're going to prepare hard and enjoy every minute we have," Erwin said. "And we're going to expect to win when we get there."

Dayton Proposes $2.1B More in State Taxes
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton on Tuesday proposed $2.1 billion more in state taxes, partly by subjecting more items to the sales tax in a tradeoff for a lowered rate.
The Democrat's proposal increases the amount owed on income above $150,000 for single filers, subjects high-end clothing to the sales tax and raises cigarette taxes.
But he also wants to cut the corporate tax and provide property tax rebates of up to $500.
"I expect that significant tax reform will be very difficult to achieve in this legislative session," Dayton said in prepared remarks. "My proposal starts with two strikes against it."
Under Dayton's plan tax increases include:
- Sales tax on high-end clothing
- Sales tax on newspaper and magazine subscriptions
- Sales tax on advertising and public relations service
- Sales tax on a wide-range of consumer services including haircuts, auto repairs and skating lessons
- A 94 cent per pack sales tax increase on cigarettes
- Income taxes would apply to snowbirds
- Tax hike on wealthy
Dayton said his plan would drop Minnesota's sales tax rate from 6.875 percent to 5.5 percent - a cut that would bring the rate to a level not seen since 1981. But people would pay for a range of services that aren't taxed now and clothing above $100 would be taxed, marking the first time Minnesota applied its sales tax to apparel.
It's all contained in a two-year plan that would fuel about $38 billion in state spending, which is about $1 billion more than the state was due to shell out.
According to Keith Hovis with the Department of Education, in fiscal year 2014, the average revenue increase over current law is $72 per student. For 2015, the average revenue increase is $339 per student. The $52 talked about was just the basic formula, according to Hovis.
For 2015, the increases range from zero for a handful of charters that currently receive very large amounts of extended time revenue to around $1,000 for some real outliers on the other end. 64% of districts and charters receive between $200 and $500 per pupil in FY 2015 over current law.
Also, additional proposed increases would be, for example:
- Special education formula increase FY 2015 of $124.8 million. Reduces unfunded special education costs (cross subsidy) by an average of $180 per student.
- All-Day kindergarten funding of $40.2 million in FY 2015 – increases funding by an average of $908 per student enrolled in a free all-day kindergarten program.
- Early learning scholarships -- $22 million per year ($44 million for the biennium)
- Teacher growth / evaluation: $10 million for the biennium provides $22 per student for districts not in the Q Comp program
- English learners: $9 million for the biennium allows these students to remain eligible for funding for 7 years rather than 5 years.
Tackling a Deficit:
Dayton's plan is the starting point in a debate likely to reach into May. At a minimum, lawmakers must plug a $1.1 billion projected deficit.
With fellow Democrats now in charge of the Legislature, Dayton's plan carries tremendous weight and a high likelihood that much of it will be enacted.
Lawmakers must approve a budget by July 1 to avoid service interruptions. Barring unexpectedly deep spending cuts, the state is expected to spend more than the $35.2 billion that it was on course to shell out in the current two-year budget.
Unlike in 2011, when a newly elected Dayton had just a couple of months to craft his recommendations, the governor has spent much of last year examining options.
Overview hearings on Dayton's budget will begin Wednesday. But lawmakers are expected to wait until March or later to begin votes on the recommendations or their substitute. In late February they will get an updated economic forecast, which will determine whether the estimated deficit they must erase is larger or smaller.
"We have the luxury of getting to see the reaction across Minnesota" before acting, said House Tax Committee Chairwoman Ann Lenczewski, DFL-Bloomington.
The budget address marks Dayton's return to public view after spending the past month recuperating from spinal surgery.
If the budget proposal is approved, the overall state sales tax rate would drop 20-percent. It's something Dayton's office says is the largest in state history.
They say Minnesota would go from the 7th highest sales tax rate to the 27th highest among U.S. states.

Griffins, Dragons, and BNPs (Bugs of Nightmarish Proportions). Who knew? It seemed harmless enough. See a mysterious door and step through to see what happens, right? Now stranded in a magical kingdom, husband and wife search for a way home. However, enlisting the aid of the king and queen has given them their biggest shock yet: Royal Babysitters.
