Crow Tales

[WYSINWYG]

I liked this gothic revenge film



Brandon Lee died during a mishap on the set. A scene required a gun to be loaded, cocked, and then pointed at the camera. Because of the close-range of the shot, the bullets loaded had real brass caps, but no powder. After the cut, the props master (not the arms master - he had left the set for the day) dry-fired the gun to get the cock off, knocking an empty cartridge into the barrel of the gun. The next scene to be filmed involving that gun was the rape of Shelly. The gun was loaded with blanks (which usually contain double or triple the powder of a normal bullet to make a loud noise). Lee entered the set carrying a bag of groceries containing an explosive blood pack. The script called for Funboy (Michael Massee) to shoot Eric Draven (Lee) as he entered the room, triggering the blood pack. The cartridge that was stuck in the barrel was blasted at Lee through the bag he was carrying, killing him. The footage of his death was destroyed without being developed. Lee is the son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, who died in mysterious circumstances before completing Game of Death (1978).

Thanks for all your replies

There were 3 crow films, the first being regarded as the best,

followed by "crow meets Buffy" or The Crow Wicked Prayer with David Boreanaz (Angel)

Then The Crow Salvation with wet actress Kirsten Dunst.

Wikipedis says

The true crows are large passerine birds that comprise the genus Corvus in the family Corvidae. Ranging in size from the relatively small pigeon-sized jackdaws (Eurasian and Daurian) to the Common Raven of the Holarctic region and Thick-billed Raven of the highlands of Ethiopia, the 40 or so members of this genus occur on all temperate continents (except South America) and several offshore and oceanic islands (including Hawaii).

The crow genus makes up a third of the species in the corvid family. Other corvids include rooks and jays. Crows appear to have evolved in Asia from the corvid stock, which had evolved in Australasia. A group of crows is called a "murder," though this term usually appears in poetry rather than scientific contexts.

The Little Crow (Corvus bennetti) is an Australian species of crow, very similar to the Torresian Crow in having white bases to the neck and head feathers (shown when ruffled in strong wind) but slightly smaller (42-48 cm in length) and with a proportionately smaller bill. It has the same white iris that distinguish the Australian species from all other Corvus except a few island species to the north of Australia, and one from Eurasia, the Jackdaw (Corvus monedula). Like the Australian Raven, this species usually has a blue ring around the pupil and sometimes one around the very outer edge of the white iris too.

So there are carrion crows , Rooks and Ravens and Jays

But we are not like them thieving Magpies

I'm half Raven,but my cousins completely Raven

WYSINWYG is an anagram for Wyse wing, are you part bird ?

“Wysinwyg” nanoparticles
Into the babble of conflicting and confusing terms surrounding nanotechnology, let me introduce another one: “wysinwig nanoparticles”—what-you-see-is-NOT-what-you-get nanoparticles.  It describes particles that have an annoying habit of revealing their true identity only after they have been painstakingly measured, monitored and characterized—a description that would seem to apply to most nanoparticles when it comes to assessing possible health and environmental impacts.

Notice the " babble of conflicting and confusing terms"

WHAT YOU SEE Is Not WHAT YOU GET

Bet you know all about the Hadron Proton smasher

Has it broke why is it turned off

                          3 days as a Film Extra


Ok, did you know that Batman begins was filmed in Cardington hanger outside Bedford.

They wanted 1000 extras for a crowd scene, so they advertised in the local press for extras.

I went along and as I have a beard was asked to be a convict in Arkum Asylum.

I had to wear a red overall and had full make up to look scruffy,(It didnt take long )

I went on set 3 times and watched them film the fight scenes.

I met stunt batman and stand in Rachael , and was one of the mad criminals closing in on her

 as the Batman dropped down and picked Rachael and the boy up into the air.

 I'm the one on the left.

Nice 1 Kev

Ok     From 1999 to 2002 I was in a Hot Air Ballooning team

The MG Rover team was based near Silverstone and every 2 weeks we travelled following the MGF cup a club race around the UK

We took it in turns to fly in the basket, retrieve and rescue after the landing

We tethered during the race ,which was flying like a kite 100ft in the air held down by 3 vehicles

We flew for 3 years and thats about the life of an Envelope as wear and tear (mainly tear in our case ) can fly

We had many bumpy landings , and getting the basket out of a farmers field full of cows was an extra challenge

The last bad landing in trees did most of the damage and that was that

|The regular team was Ed, Scott, me ,the Julie and Graham another pilot for Variohm

[Graham C]

Loosing the will to live.

LOL

Balooning is cool, nice one Crow.  Out of interest, how much does a hot air balloon and all the bits cost?

[The-Crow]

The basket and tanks bits cables and stuff are about £5000

Split 4 ways is a good way to start

The licence is 2 weeks in Austria on a" crash " course to get the hours in

You need to do a test with an instructor as Pilot in charge

You start as" Pilot under training "and need all the health checks the same as a private pilot

You get  a licence  called PPL Balloon

You need to keep a log record of hours etc. record all flights and have it witnessed by another pilot

The main cost is the envelope, 90,000 cu ft or 120,000 cuft can lift 3 or 4  people

get one second hand "if you dare" see Balloons and ballooning magazine

get a sponsor like we did to buy the thing is best, they don't last long

Next a range rover or similar, a specialist trailer , a local supplier of balloon gas  and your ready to fly

Hello Crow.

Do you drink Kia-Ora? If not, is it because you find the flavouring a bit strong?

There's no way he drinks Kia-Ora, it's too orangey for crows.
