Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers agree that now is a crucial time to be involved in hepatitis C virus (HCV) research. "Current estimates suggest that HCV infects over 170 million people worldwide," notes David B. Smith, Ph.D., principal research scientist, Roche. "The current standard of care (SOC) for HCV involves 48–72 weeks of treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. Approximately 40–60% of the patients treated with SOC achieve a sustained viral response after this treatment. Roche is highly active in the effort to discover additional treatment options that can be added to the existing SOC to increase these response rates and benefit more patients."
Improving the course of treatment for HCV is not without its challenges, however. "HCV has a notoriously high rate of mutation," says Anna M. Boguszewska-Chachulska, Ph.D., cofounder of Genomed. "We need to find a solution that addresses this, and there are a few compounds under development out there that look promising at this time."
Cambridge Healthtech is hosting an HCV drug discovery track as a part of the "Drug Discovery Chemistry Conference" to be held next month in San Diego. This article previews some of the talks as well as provides an update on what's happening in small molecule drug discovery in the HCV field.
Flossie Wong-Staal, Ph.D., CSO and executive vp research at ItherX, says that the conference is happening at a good time for her company. "We just licensed a compound that failed as an anti-inflammatory that has great potential in the HCV space. It already has a good safety profile in over 250 human subjects and is highly potent against HCV entry (EC50 in the picomolar range). This drug is now ready for a proof of concept clinical study in HCV patients.
"Our back-up candidates exhibit EC50 of <1 nM and a >10,000-fold therapeutic window in our assays has been shown using both genotype 1 and genotype 2 HCV. All the entry inhibitors act additively with the current standard of care as well as an HCV protease inhibitor," says Dr. Staal. "Furthermore, the compounds are equally potent against a protease mutant virus that is resistant to the protease inhibitor. This class of compounds can add significantly to a drug cocktail targeting multiple steps of the viral life cycle, with the goal of completely eliminating virus infection."
Dr. Wong-Staal will talk about developing entry inhibitors for HCV. "We've developed different programs for targeting virus entry at different points. ITX5081 and its back-up compounds target a known HCV receptor, SR-B1. We have a series of compounds that target the HCV virus envelope. This is at the lead-optimization stage. A third program is based on a new receptor for HCV that we have discovered and shown to be essential for HCV infection of liver cells.
"This target is amenable to both biologics and small molecule drug development. Unlike HIV, which utilizes one of two alternative co-receptors for virus entry, HCV engages multiple receptors in series, and it appears that blocking any of these receptors would affect virus inhibition. Furthermore, such inhibitors should be able to work synergistically with each other, as well as with inhibitors using other modes of action."

Configure a custom domain name in Azure App Service
When you create a web app, Azure assigns it to a subdomain of azurewebsites.net. For example, if your web app is named contoso, the URL is contoso.azurewebsites.net. Azure also assigns a virtual IP address.
For a production web app, you may want users to see a custom domain name. This article explains how to configure a custom domain with App Service Web Apps.
If you need more help at any point in this article, you can contact the Azure experts on the MSDN Azure and the Stack Overflow forums. Alternatively, you can also file an Azure support incident. Go to the Azure Support site and click on Get Support.
This article is for App Service (Web Apps, API Apps, Mobile Apps, Logic Apps); for Cloud Services, see Configuring a Custom Domain Name in Azure.
For instructions on using Traffic Manager to load balance traffic to a web app, use the selector at the top of this article to select the Traffic Manager specific steps.
Custom domain names cannot be used with Free web app. You must configure your web app for Shared, Basic, or Standard mode, which may change how much you are billed for your subscription. See Web Apps Pricing Details for more information.
If you haven't already registered for an external domain name (i.e. not *.azurewebsites.net) already, the easiest way to set up a custom domain is to buy one directly in the Azure Portal. The process enables you to manage your web app's domain name directly in the Portal instead of going to a third-party site like GoDaddy to manage it. Likewise, configuring the domain name in your web app is greatly simplified, whether your web app uses Azure Traffic Manager or not. For more information, see Buy and Configure a custom domain name in Azure App Service.
If you have a domain name already, or you want reserve domain from other domain registrars, here are the general steps to bring a custom domain name for web app (see specific instructions for GoDaddy.com):
- Reserve your domain name. This article does not cover that process. There are many domain registrars to choose from. When you sign up, their site will walk you through the process.
- Create DNS records that map the domain to your Azure web app.
- Add the domain name inside the Azure Portal.
Within this basic outline, there are specific cases to consider:
- Mapping your root domain. The root domain is the domain that you reserved with the domain registrar. For example, contoso.com.
- Mapping a subdomain. For example, blogs.contoso.com. You can map different subdomains to different web apps.
- Mapping a wildcard. For example, *.contoso.com. A wildcard entry applies to all subdomains of your domain.
Setting a custom domain name is only available for the Shared, Basic and Standard modes for Web Apps. Before switching a web app from the Free mode to the Shared, Basic or Standard mode, you must first remove spending caps in place for your Web Apps subscription.
For more information on the App Service plan modes, including how to change the mode of your site, see How to scale web apps.
DNS record types
The Domain Name System (DNS) uses data records to map domain names into IP addresses. There are several types of DNS records. For web apps, you'll create either an A record or a CNAME record.
- An A (Address) record maps a domain name to an IP address.
- A CNAME (Canonical Name) record maps a domain name to another domain name. DNS uses the second name to look up the address. Users still see the first domain name in their browser. For example, you could map contoso.com to <yourwebapp>.azurewebsites.net.
If the IP address changes, a CNAME entry is still valid, whereas an A record must be updated. However, some domain registrars do not allow CNAME records for the root domain or for wildcard domains. In that case, you must use an A record.
The IP address may change if you delete and recreate your web app, or change the web app mode back to free.
Find the virtual IP address
Skip this step if you are creating a CNAME record. To create an A record, you need the virtual IP address of your web app. To get the IP address:
- In your browser, open the Azure Portal.
- Click the Browse option on the left side of the page.
- Click the Web Apps blade.
- Click the name of your web app.
- In the Essentials page, click All settings.
- Click Custom domains and SSL.
- In the Custom domains and SSL blade, click Bring External Domains". The IP address is located at the bottom of this part.
Create the DNS records
Log in to your domain registrar and use their tool to add an A record or CNAME record. Every registrar's web app is slightly different, but here are some general guidelines.
- Find the page for managing DNS records. Look for links or areas of the site labeled Domain Name, DNS, or Name Server Management. Often the link can be found be viewing your account information, and then looking for a link such as My domains.
- When you find the management page, look for a link that lets you add or edit DNS records. This might be listed as a Zone file, DNS Records, or as an Advanced configuration link.
The page might list A records and CNAME records separately, or else provide a drop-down to select the record type. Also, it might use other names for the record types, such as IP Address record instead of A record, or Alias Record instead of CNAME record. Usually the registrar creates some records for you, so there may already be records for the root domain or common subdomains, such as www.
When you create or edit a record, the fields will let you map your domain name to an IP address (for A records) or another domain (for CNAME records). For a CNAME record, you will map from your custom domain to your azurewebsites.net subdomain.
In many registrar tools, you will just type the subdomain portion of your domain, not the entire domain name. Also, many tools use '@' to mean the root domain. For example:
|Record type
|IP Address or URL
|A (address)
|CNAME (alias)
Assuming the custom domain name is 'contoso.com', this would create the following records:
- contoso.com mapped to 22.214.171.124.
- www.contoso.com mapped to contoso.azurewebsites.net.
You can use Azure DNS to host the necessary domain records for your web app. To configure your custom domain, and create your records, in Azure DNS, see Create custom DNS records for a web app.
Create an awverify record (A records only)
If you create an A record, web app also requires a special CNAME record, which is used to verify that you own the domain you are attempting to use. This CNAME record must have the following form.
- If the A record maps the root domain or a wildcard domain: Create a CNAME record that maps from awverify.<yourdomain> to awverify.<yourwebappname>.azurewebsites.net. For example, if the A record is for contoso.com, create a CNAME record for awverify.contoso.com.
- If the A record maps a specific subdomain: Create a CNAME record that maps from awverify.<subdomain> to awverify.<yourwebappname>.azurewebsites.net. For example, if the A record is for blogs.contoso.com, create a CNAME record for awverify.blogs.contoso.com.
Visitors to your web app will not see the awverify subdomain; it's only for Azure to verify your domain.
Enable the domain name on your web app
After the records for your domain name have propagated, you must associate them with your Web App. Use the following steps to enable the domain names using your web browser.
It can take some time for CNAME records created in the previous steps to propagate through the DNS system. You cannot add the domain name of to your web app until the CNAME has propagated. If you are using an A record, you cannot add the A record domain name to your web app until the awverify CNAME record created in the previous step has propagated.
You can use a service such as http://www.digwebinterface.com/ to verify that the CNAME is available.
In your browser, open the Azure Portal.
In the Web Apps tab, click the name of your web app, select Settings, and then select Custom domains and SSL
In the Custom domains and SSL blade, click Bring external domains.
Use the DOMAIN NAMES text boxes to enter the domain names to associate with this web app.
Click Save to save the domain name configuration.
Once configuration has completed, the custom domain name will be listed in the domain names section of your web app.
At this point, you should be able to enter the custom domain name in your browser and see that it successfully takes you to your web app.
If you want to get started with Azure App Service before signing up for an Azure account, go to Try App Service, where you can immediately create a short-lived starter web app in App Service. No credit cards required; no commitments.

EIA: Extending Current Energy Policies Would Keep U.S. Carbon Pollution Emissions Flat Through 2040
The new analysis by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is a classic good news, bad news story, summed up in this chart:
The good news is that merely by extending existing energy policies, the United States could keep energy-related carbon dioxide emissions flat through 2040.
That's also the bad news — for two reasons.
First, the anti-science, anti-government crowd has a stranglehold on federal policy for the foreseeable future, whereas the Extended Policies case assumes the Congress actively extends key policies including "the continuation of the production tax credit for wind, biomass, geothermal, and other renewable resources, and the investment tax credit for solar generation technologies."
Second, as CAP's Dan Weiss noted on CP in December, flatlining CO2 "would be an epic disaster for the United States and the rest of the planet":
Such an outcome would certainly condemn the United States and the world to the most devastating impacts from climate change, including more fatalities and damages from increasingly ferocious and frequent extreme weather, more deaths and illness from smog, tropical diseases infecting people in northern latitudes, and the disruption of the world's food production system.
It bears repeating that a 60% reduction by 2050 vs. 1990 levels is the target that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says the rich countries (Annex I) should adopt if the goal is to stabilize at 550 ppm CO2-eq. I discussed the science underlying this at length in 2009.
Here's the key chart from the full Working Group III report (Box 13.7, page 776):
The 550 ppm CO2-equivalent is about 450 ppm CO2 (because of the warming from the other greenhouse gases). It means ultimately "stabilizing" at 3°C (5.4°F) above preindustrial levels using the "best estimate" of climate sensitivity — see the IPCC's Synthesis Report "Summary for Policymakers" (Table SPM.6). And that "stabilizing" assumes no major carbon cycle feedbacks, like, say the thawing permafrost, which will likely add 0.4°F – 1.5°F to total global warming by 2100.
Thus, in the real world, 550 ppm CO2-equivalent is likely to be devastating to modern civilization, leading to widespread Dust-Bowlification and an ice free planet. So even a 60% reduction in U.S. emissions by mid-century isn't sufficient.
A non-suicidal species would pursue something closer to 450 ppm CO2-eq or less — and that means taking U.S. emissions down more than 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. That would require us to be near 1 billion metric tons of CO2 around 2040, rather than flatlining at over 5 billion.
Through 2020, Obama can put the U.S. close to the sane path without Congress, by using the executive authority under the Clean Air Act — a plan spelled out in detail by the Natural Resources Defense Council. To stay anywhere near the 450 ppm path post-2020, we'd likely need a sane Congress, too.
16 Responses to EIA: Extending Current Energy Policies Would Keep U.S. Carbon Pollution Emissions Flat Through 2040
We need a sane Congress. Whatever one president can do by executive authority, the next can undo. Votes count. So does education.
Thanks for your direct language here, Joe, we need your warrior side.
Meanwhile, we read media reports celebrating the mostly recession-caused flattening of US emissions in the last few years. The 17 Mt CO2 per capita figure is what we really need to work on, of course, or international progress will continue to stall. Europeans won't feel motivated to reduce their own 8 Mt per capita figure while watching us drive RV's for vacations, and live in 3000′ wood and vinyl mansions. Indians and Chinese will just laugh when we try to preach to them. Let's clean up our own house first.
"To stay anywhere near the 450 ppm path post-2020, we'd likely need a sane Congress, too."
We need a sane world too.
Don't forget the rest of the Annex I countries. I wonder if Canada or Russia would be onboard? Do you suppose that if the US leads the way Russia will follow? There are a lot of other countries on that list that might say they need more time.
Some countries not counted in Annex I: China, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia. They just have to come up with some unspecified "deviation from baseline." Even the 450 ppm eq category does not specify what would constitute "substantial deviation."
Why is Russia in Annex I and China gets a pass? Most of the important fossil fuel exporting nations are in the Non-Annex I category.
I see a lot of reasons to expect that 550 ppm CO2 eq is an optimistic figure.
Um, James Hansen said quite awhile back that 350ppm would be the tipping point. @400ppm is where we are today and it is spiking with no slow down in sight.
A sane Congress requires a sane electorate. 'We' have exactly the Congress 'we' want doing what 'we' want: nothing! If you expect the Congress or President to provide leadership counter to the wishes of the majority just because it's the right thing to do, forget it. That's not what these politicians are all about.
There are two questions that follow immediately. Can we step back, or is this tipping point irreversible? If we can, what policy is required?
If the US did its share of the work, it would reap a dividend from renewable energy industries. What's not to like about that? As it is the Chinese, who get a 'free pass' because of their low state of development (rapidly being addressed) and lesser contribution to 'historical emissions', are doing more than anyone to make renewables cheaper, so I think that they do not deserve too much criticism. They, and everyone, must do more, of course.
Whether we can 'step back' is, in my opinion, irrelevant. We must do so, even if it proves futile. 'The situation is hopeless-we must take the next step'.
It was meant as a 'leading' question; the real point to elicit is the policy required if one believes we are anywhere near a 'tipping point'.
Mike, Your comment has some very important implications. Let's start from where we are; I believe we have run out of atmospheric carbon budget, whether Hansen's 350ppm is used as a metric or my rapid Arctic ice melt temperature is used as a metric. When one runs out of budget, severe restrictions are in order.
Let's take the travel industry as an example, specifically vacation travel. Today, it is basically all fossil fuel-driven, and will be so for the near future (especially airline flights, ocean cruises, etc). Since any further fossil fuel combustion puts us further out on the limb of extreme danger, any non-essential uses of fossil fuel must go. This means all non-essential vacation travel based on fossil fuel would need to be eliminated.
The vacation travel industry would collapse, and would have a strong ripple effect on dependent industries (hotels, restaurants, etc). This would have severe economic impact on the owners and workers of these industries. This is what Anderson and Garrett mean when they say that taking the steps required to reduce emissions and save the biosphere would REQUIRE effective Depression/collapse of our present economic system. This example could be replicated in whole or part for myriad other industries on which the global economy depends.
All those posters who arm-wave that we can transition to renewables with no sacrifice required are engaging in complete misrepresentation of the truth. Either we recognize the harsh sacrifices required to save our civilization and agree to take them, or we continue the present sacrifice-free mode of living until we go over the cliff before the end of the century.
Now, how many people do you know who would be willing to make this relatively painless sacrifice in order to help ameliorate the climate problem? Not one person I've talked to on either side of the climate issue has expressed any willingness to change their personal vacation travel practices to help save the climate. Forget about politicians or media; personal practices are the real hurdle we face, and why I am pessimistic about our taking any real steps to address climate change.
Reminds me of the smoker who declared "victory!" when they managed to stop the increase in their habit, but carried on at a stabilized consumption of a pack-and-a-half per day.
This is very dangerous and lazy thinking.
It only takes less than 0.5 watt imbalance to stop and reverse an ice age. With just albedo changes controlling up to 5 watts of positive differential heating, there is no way to reverse the heating trend once the natural tipping points kick in. We need to reduce our carbon output by 6% every year until it is near zero and we need to find ways to reduce atmospheric carbon at the same time.
Anything less than that is just irresponsible and dangerous.

Good Morning to all of you.
Well, well, looks like Alley's on the right path now!
Yesterday's panel made it look like something zapped him in mid-air. That clears it up.
Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 21 (40) 3/12/2014 Wednesdaybuildings from the 1960's and one higly reflective one from the 1980's at a modest 25 stories with a communications mast on top.
Everyone is in the Wanderer and the powerful engines are started up and the large wheeled transport is on the move. The little airport isn't but a few miles from the town proper so it won't take long to get there then to the cemetery. The military style GPS on a larger screen shows the layout based upon satellite and information of the city design amalgamated into one continuous scan for them updated as time goes on.
Unbeknownst to them one of Dr Dark's satellites have been following them and some of his spy bots are on the way since it has reached him about Alley and Ooola returning to our time. He wants in on it. (He will send a larger stealth craft full of those SEBs to that location.)
Long shot of the two-part dark sleak rolling command post on the dusty road heading to the deserted town. Mostly older one and two story buildings some 80 years old. There are a few taller
Inside Dr. Tucker tells them to call Jim Elkhorn and find out his status and location.
Just don't eat those berries, Oop, they'll make you sleepy
Morning, Oopsters.
Oh sure, he just happened to land in the very same thorn bush where Ooola was. Right. Uh huh.
Oola should have gone in the opposite direction.
Yeah, well. It was in the script, ok? Blame the writer.
Great graphics!
the ridiculous-o-meter just went off the scale…
Benders watched too much Andy of Mayberry.
Would you believe that was actually what that show was called when it first entered syndication?
Hopefully, you can all see my posts. I was banished for a short time after unwittingly running afoul of the Terms of Service, and I was supposed to be returned to "visible" status today.
Good Morning Benders and readers of Alley Oop. The piece
of the dress that tore off was much bigger. I am wondering if
the guards each took a souvenir piece off of it. Thorny cuts
from berry bushes are no fun as a former amateur berry
picker can tell you. It a good thing that Alley's got a tough
hide on him. Not as bad as I thought yesterday but he still
should take better care of himself (even with a cartoon
Too bad Jack couldn't draw Oop landing on a bush well enough for everyone to know that's what was happening yesterday.
A couple people did guess it right though and it kind of looked like that was happening. Just poorly drawn.
It's also too bad that Carole portrays Oop as being so clueless most of the time, like acting like he just now discovered that vines hang from trees, then would choose one that would land him right on a thorn bush.
Bear River blackberries will tear the hide right off you. Man they're good in ice cream, but it's like loosing a fight with the cat every time you pick some.

Behind the Beautiful Forevers
Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity
Katherine Boo
Random House, $27, 256 pp.
In the years leading up to the financial crisis of 2008–09, the sleek and growing international airport of Mumbai looked across two hundred yards of elegant landscaping at a concrete wall plastered with ads for floor tiles that promised (over and over again) to be "beautiful forever." The advertisements addressed a rising middle class in one of the world's fastest-growing economies, but they also hid from view a squatter community called Annawadi, an embarrassment to a burgeoning financial center that could not shake its other identity as "Slumbai." In Behind the Beautiful Forevers, winner of the 2012 National Book Award for nonfiction, Katherine Boo takes us into the community of Annawadi, principally during those two years. We live at close quarters with several families who have adapted to a default condition of desperation and who inhabit a highly complex system of corruption (vertiginously displayed in the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire...

It works.
The way round you must use it is
Ext.get("id-of-element-to-be visible").scrollIntoView("id-of-container-element");
15 Aug 2007 12:38 PM #4
This work-around is very implementation specific. The id-of-container-element must be configured to scroll. In my example below, without adding the height and overflow attributes the scroll into view did not work:
PHP Code:

... lots of content here that is pushing my element out of view ...

 ...

I should note that I am using ext2.0.

Ext.get("id-of-element-to-be visible").scrollIntoView(document.body);
If you are using a Layout, then it's the Element of the Layout's containing the element you want in view that must be scrolled.

I wish it were always as simple as document.body. Setting the document.body.scrollTop has no effect unless operating in quirks mode.
My testbed used an HTML 4.01 transitional doctype and I was only ever able to scrollIntoView a scrollable div, but never the body; however using document.documentElement works (tested in FF, IE6, IE7).
Specifically, I am now able to do this (when not in quirks mode):
PHP Code:
Whereas ext1.1::Element.scrollIntoView() could be patched with a ternary Ext.isStrict test, ext2.0::Element.scrollIntoView() needs some additional love.

Japan Bond Futures May Stall on Resistance: Technical Analysis
A one-month rally in Japanese government bond futures may stall, capped by resistance formed by a five-day moving average, Mizuho Securities Co. said, citing trading patterns.
Ten-year bond futures for December delivery rose from 141.23 on Sept. 10 to 144.15 on Oct. 6, supported by the five-day average, according to Tetsuya Miura, chief market analyst at the unit of Japan's second-largest banking group. The contracts have stayed below the average since Oct. 13 and declined to as low as 143.69 yesterday. The five-day line was at 143.85 yesterday.
"The five-day moving average will serve as a line of resistance in the near term," Miura said. "The futures have entered range-bound trading at the 143 level."
The 14-day relative strength index for the futures reached 73.60 on Oct. 6, the day after the Bank of Japan announced additional easing steps. Readings above 70 indicate an asset's price is poised to reverse course. The index has remained below the 70 level since the following day, signaling the contracts are correcting from overbought conditions, Miura said.
The futures are being supported by the 25-day moving average, which was at 143.07 yesterday, and will likely stay between the five- and 25-day lines at the 143 yen level in the near term, Miura said. If the futures fall below 143, they may reach the mid-142 level, where the 13-week moving average is, he said.
In technical analysis, investors and analysts study charts of trading patterns and prices to forecast changes in a security, commodity, currency or index.

Choose a Topic
1. Pick a Topic
Look through your syllabus or textbook for themes or ideas that interest you, even if you haven't covered them yet.
Search the topic or name of your course in Google or a library article database. Learn more about any results that look interesting.
Think about your major or your hobbies. Do any of your interests intersect with the topic of your class?
2. Learn a little about your topic
Now that you have a potential topic in mind, you need to make sure it will actually work for you.
Search for background information on the web (ex: Wikipedia) or in an encyclopedia database (ex: Gale Virtual Reference Library) to get a general overview of your potential topic.
Sometimes what you learn isn't what you expected. Make sure this topic really is of interest to you since you'll be spending a lot of time reading and writing about it. If not, perhaps another aspect of it that you read about is of interest.
3. Test your Topic
Check library article databases, such as Academic Search Complete, to see if journalists or scholars have written about your topic in the popular press or in academic journals.
4. Scope your Topic
You'll need to find the right scope for your topic - not too broad or too narrow to be able to adequately cover it in the length assigned for your research project.
Too broad - If you found too many results in the last step, you might need to choose a narrower aspect to focus on. Go back to your background information and see if any particular aspect of your topic is of interest to you.
Too narrow - If you had trouble finding relevant information in a library database, think more broadly about your interests. Try exploring a broader idea or concept that your topic falls under. Eventually, you'll settle into a topic that is the right scope.

What a neat little clip. :) That musta been kind of fun to do.
You know, for someone with Parkinson's, he looks like he's doing really well.
I was thinking that for an experienced, professional actor, the Parkinson's must be pretty bad for him to have to struggle visibly to do a 5-second bit.
Having known others with Parkinson's though, Fox is doing really well. Unbelievably well.
Why didn't they wait 30 years instead of 25? The movie is based on going 30 years into the past, then 30 into the future.
I'm sure they'll have some kind of event in 2015, especially since so much of the second movie is set then.
Makes me want to go back and watch it again. What a great movie! The whole sequence near the end where he finally goes back to 1985 with the help of a lightning bolt is so intense!
Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out that he'd melt my brain.

Hats off to that man. Takes a lot of guts to put yourself in the public eye suffering as he is.
I'm having a hard time accepting how long it's been since the first movie came out. Namely: when they do the inevitable ill-advised remake later this decade, Marty will travel back 30 years to 1985. Also I guess they'll have to swap in a Tesla Roadster for the DeLorean.
Why the Tesla Roadster? I say it should be the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, which has gull-wing doors. How can whatever vehicle ends up being the time machine NOT have gull-wing doors?
Its not a tesla roadster, It a Delorean.
Makes me even more impatient for Oct. 23rd!
BttF is having a re-release in AMC theaters for that one day:
The inner nerd made me get tickets. For the whole family. :)
So this was the movie trailer for BTTF? I'm surprised.
It made it look like Michael J Fox was playing some kind of douche, when in the movie he was an average teenager. Marty McFly was not the guy who puts on sunglasses dramatically and struts into a DeLorean like he owns it. He's a guy whose (original timeline) family is held together by duct tape, who gets in trouble at school, but is in a rock band, has a girlfriend, and somehow knows an elderly engineer with a gigantic amp. His life is a mixed bag, and even though he's competent at everything we see him try (except handling that video camera), he's wrought with self-confidence issues.
I guess characters like Marty McFly make for a great movie, but a poor trailer, so they went with Generic Cocky 80's Guy for the trailer.
I saw BttF at the cinema when I was 11 or 12… it burnt a massive impression on my mind.
I wanted to be as cool as Marty McFly so bad.
Absolutely brilliant stuff. #2 was pretty damn good for a sequel, and had one of the most twisted plots you could point a stick at… such a pity #3 sucked so hard.
2 sucked hard. 3 was great. Seriously 2 was a mess of a movie.
We are never going to agree on this but I think the scene at the end of two where the Delorean gets hit by lightening while caught landing in a storm, disappears, and a mailman battles the storm to tell Marty what happened is one of the great movie time travel scenes.
2 sucked hard. 3 was great. Seriously 2 was a mess of a movie.
I'm staggered. How many times have you seen #2? It has way more going on than #3…
"It has way more going on than #3"
I think that's why most people don't like it. First movie: One trip backwards in time, try to return. Third movie: One trip backwards in time, try to return. Second movie: several trips forwards and backwards, some overlapping, a branching storyline… kinda complicated. Of course, most sci-fi time-travel stories are like that, so I don't mind. In fact the second movie is more "sci-fi" than the first or third. I think that's what some people don't like. (But I could be wrong). I think it's just different. It does help me appreciate the simplicity of #1 and #3.
I, too, saw BttF as a little kid, and it burnt a massive impression on my mind. I wanted to be as cool as Doc Brown so bad!
Epic trailer remake is epic.
lol, "on Spike."
real cool.
Personally, I hope they're already pre-planning to do a full reboot of BTTF in 2015. Everything gets rebooted eventually, and this is a film every generation deserves to have a version of. Even if it ends up being terrible, I'd rather they try and fail than not try at all. If they don't even try, Hollywood will forever be known as being nothing more than a bunch of slackers.
Over the last 30 years, our world has seen a lot of change. A 2015 teenaged Marty McFly sent back to 1985 for a week would have to cope with the lack of cell phones and the Internet. If the sequel sees him traveling forward 30 years (as it probably should) the wonders of 2045 will probably be a lot the same as the 2015 of the original flick, but it would still be interesting to see another vision of the not-so-distant future.
Traveling back 100 years in the third film would land Marty and Doc squarely in 1915, which would make it the most different entry of the rebooted trilogy. 1915 would be kind of a downer year to land in as they'd find themselves in the middle of World War I. Then again, there's no reason they'd have to specifically go back 100 years. Perhaps 1935 would be a better year; it was roughly the "eye of the storm" of the Great Depression. It would be a hell of a time to go back to and start investing in stocks, though.
Actually, in the US, 1915 wasn't in the middle of World War I. We stayed out, and we could have kept staying out if that racist bastard Wilson hadn't deliberately dragged us in.
I like the reboot idea.
"A 2015 teenaged Marty McFly sent back to 1985…"
Hmmm… but I was alive in 1985, I can even remember some of it. Wait, am I as old now as some people who can actually remember 1955 were in 1985? Wow, I'm old! I see 1955 as, like, almost a different geological era. (And it doesn't help how BttF uses cars and things from the 1940s). But 1985 was, like, yesterday! That can't be right!
"The wonders of 2045 will probably be a lot the same as the 2015 of the original flick…"
[Cory] Only more so! [/Cory]
"Traveling back 100 years in the third film would land Marty and Doc squarely in 1915 […] in the middle of World War I"
The West as portrayed in BttF3 was no walk in the park either! And hey, even better than 1935 would be the 1920s, prohibition… If BttF3 was a western, the reboot could be a gangster movie! Doc Brown owes money to the Mob, and if he doesn't pay up by Saturday…
Back To The Future is a great trilogy and I'm planning to purchase the DVDs. Specially if they're a 25th anniversary. Michael J. Fox is a great actor, and still is today as this video clearly shows.
Doc, Marty, don't mind the critics and their postings. They can't type 88 words a minute, never mind appreciate a good movie when they see one :-)
I remember reading, at the time of the movie's release, that Eric Stoltz had been originally cast. But apparently, his performance was too serious for the producers, and he was replaced by Michael J. Fox.
I wonder if footage still exists of Eric's scenes.
I've always admired Michael J. Fox for his courage, dignity and activism. Maybe in his lifetime we'll find a cure.
I hope.
I saw footage of the scenes just the other day but it looks like the site they were on took down the article. Maybe they'll be in the bonus features on the anniversary dvd

All Rise...
Judge Daryl Loomis is sometimes referred to as "Ol' Twighands."
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Titus (published June 12th, 2002), Titus: Seasons One And Two (published August 3rd, 2005), and Titus: Season Three (published January 30th, 2006) are also available.
The Charge
If one good deed in all my life I did I do repent it from my very soul.
Opening Statement
After years of success directing stage production, Julie Taymor (Frida) took her talents to the silver screen in 1999 with the release of Titus, adapted for film from her own stage production of Shakespeare's derided Titus Andronicus. Whether or not one actually enjoys the experience depends on one's art tolerance, but there's no question it was an audacious directorial debut and a Shakespeare adaptation the likes of which cinema had never seen. It stunned me when I originally watched it, but something like this doesn't always age so well. Will Titus? We'll find out with this limited edition Blu-ray from Twilight Time.
Facts of the Case
After grand success against the Goths, Titus Andronicus (Anthony Hopkins, The Elephant Man) returns to Rome with Tamora (Jessica Lange, King Kong), queen of the Goths, and her two sons in chains. They want to make him their new emperor, but he refuses and, instead, nominates Saturninus (Alan Cumming, Spy Kids), who is then crowned. Saturninus is a cruel king, though, and when an act of sheer brutality against Titus' daughter, Lavinia (Laura Fraser, Breaking Bad), leaves her mutilated, Titus wages a war of revenge against her attackers.
The Evidence
Julie Taymor rides a very fine line in Titus, coming so close to going over the top, but never quite tipping into the absolutely ridiculous. Her excesses are crucial to the film's success, though, as bringing Shakespeare's most disturbing, horrific play to the screen would play as terribly melodramatic if staged in anywhere close to a standard manner. And pretty much everything about Titus is as non-standard as you can get.
Normally, Shakespeare is presented either in the originally intended setting or updated into modern times (or, oh so often, gangland Chicago or something). Taymor, on the other hand, combines both the Roman Empire and some mashup of the first half of the 20th Century. The resulting fantasy world that she created highlights the more absurd elements of the story, making it often feel more like a modern horror film than a Shakespearean tragedy.
These elements are further strengthened by Taymor's choice of cinematographer. Luciano Tovoli isn't a household name in the U.S., but when you employ the services of the man who photographed Suspiria, the most unique and beautiful looking horror movie ever made, you are clearly going for a certain something. Her broad vision for the film was already set in her stage production, but Tovoli brings it to incredible life with his high-style photography and eye for the surreal and horrific.
Taymor achieves such an amazing feel with what she calls "Penny Arcade Nightmares," isolated setpieces of surrealism to get across the more disturbing and frightening aspects of the story. For as violent as Shakespeare's play is, though, with its clear themes of rape, murder, and even cannibalism, Taymor is actually quite restrained in this regard, letting these Nightmares take the place of the more gratuitous business. It's just as effective as showing it, while displaying a deliberate level of artistry that makes it unique in the world of Shakespeare adaptation. It's more Kenneth Russell than Kenneth Branagh and that's what makes Titus my personal favorite of the genre. Her intent was not to simply stage the play, but to add to it and make it her own. Whether the outrageous style rings with an individual is unclear, but there's absolutely no question that she succeeded there.
But for how nutty Titus often is, Taymor, exclusively using Shakespeare's language, never lets her direction get in the way of the actors, who have all the room in the world to do their work. While a Shakespearean trained actor and longtime stage lead, this is, as far as I know, the only time Anthony Hopkins has appeared in an adaptation and he is outstanding here in the lead. His Titus is very much part of the Roman world, only occasionally appearing in the future scenes, grounding the production and letting the more outrageous performances work around him. This is best represented by Jessica Lange, whose torment and rage are only matched by her vindictiveness, and Alan Cumming, who is about as sniveling a villain as I've ever seen in a Shakespeare film. They have a delicious chemistry together; they're filled with a hate-based lust and they're hilarious to watch. With a supporting cast that includes talent like Harry Lennix (Man of Steel), Jonathan Rhys Myers (Mission: Impossible III), Angus Macfadyen (Saw 3) and Matthew Rhys (The Scapegoat), there is plenty to feast on throughout the movie.
All of this makes it a terrible shame, then, that Twilight Time's Blu-ray for Titus is so unfortunate. While there's nothing about it that one can actually call bad, per se, there are few places that I can honestly call an upgrade over the original DVD for the film. Weirdly, the 2.35:1/1080p transfer has far more dirt and damage than should be acceptable in a movie this young. There's an overall softness to the image, as well, that makes the plentiful night scenes murky. That said, close-up detail is excellent and the deliberately washed out colors come across accurately. The sound fares far better, with strong Master Audio mixes in both surround and stereo options to choose from. The surround mix is preferable to me, with its full range of atmospheric effects and a stronger score, but the stereo sound has brighter dialog that some might prefer.
The slate of extra features, while good, it's very nearly the same slate as the original DVD. They're a good set, no doubt, but it doesn't give fans much reason to upgrade. It starts with three audio commentaries. The first, with Taymor, is an exhaustive discussion of her filmmaking decisions. It becomes immediately clear listening to her that, agree or disagree with her, she knew and achieved exactly what she wanted. It's excellent and very detailed, which is more than I can say for the other two which, combined, might barely make up one commentary. The discussion with Anthony Hopkins and Harry Lennix was recorded separately and goes almost half an hour at times without a word, while the one with composer Elliot Goldenthal (Heat) is sparse enough to fill in a few of those gaps. Both are good; there's just not enough of it. Moving on, we get Goldenthal's score as an isolated track in DTS-HD 2.0 Master Audio, the making-of documentary from the original disc, and a question and answer session with Taymor, in which she goes into many of the same issues as her commentary. A brief featurette on the Nightmare sequences and a group of trailers close out the disc.
Closing Statement
Pretentious mess or cinematic glory? I say Titus is the latter, but your mileage may vary. By shining the light of Shakespeare through a horror filter accentuates the bizarre cruelty of Titus Andronicus, doing the kind of justice to this early Bard play that few other directors would have the guts for. As we've seen from some of her later movies, her vision, while always audacious, does not always work. Here in her debut, though, she succeeds brilliantly. Officially, the movie was released on Christmas 1999, but was put into wide release at the start of 2000, making Titus the first truly great film of the 21st Century.
The Verdict
The disc could be so much better, but the movie is still not guilty.
