Presumably, once you're reprocessing, could also do post-processing lens-tilt effects.Or an apeture-control equivalent (is there one currently?).

Somewhere someone did daily updates from court in part of the Gaiman/McFarlane suit over the ownership of Spawn characters. My take away message was that this is one of those fields where people say the oddest things in court. And in judgments.

On @mpaa now: US Ambassador Mike Moore co-hosting an MPAA screening of the restoration of Hitchcock feature The White Shadow with Chris Dodd.

From Juha's link:
Rianz would not confirm whether it intended to make an example of the TelstraClear customer. Esmee Dunlop, of its public relations company, PPR, said the association would "not normally comment on anything copyright related".
That dry kiwi sense of humour again.

Haven't watched the video but...
They were Republican Arizona’s golden boys, the plain-spoken, get-tough sheriff and his legal and political foil, Sheriff Joe Arpaio and attorney Andrew Thomas. According to a post at Talking Points Memo, Thomas “might have had a bright career in Arizona politics,” but instead is today facing disbarment, criminal charges and professional disgrace.

I wonder if anyone has sat down with McVicar et al. and actually gone through the numbers that show that increasing the imprisonment rate doesn’t have much effect on the crime rate.
Not that I expect that it would change his mind (however be nice that would be).
In 2006 then-minister Damien O'Connor took Garth and Kim Workman on a world tour:
Mr McVicar said their first surprise came when they arrived at the International Centre for Prison Studies at King's College, London.
"They use New Zealand as an example of what not to do - how our prison population is escalating and our level of violent crime is increasing," he said.

Oh wait, I was thinking of preventative detention for the sentence-timing... Carry on.

I am wondering why Corrections has not applied for an extended supervision order...
I believe he would have been sentenced before the regime was in place, so they can't. The new orders have been argued to be intended to cover people in just that position.
It's just occured to me that someone somewhere might have compared retrospective sentence changes and pre-emptive detention considering to how to do that. Odd that they went for the latter, considering the former has I think been done before.

Coupla links:
Some no doubt welcome but rather backhanded opposition from Chauvel:
“Labour will not sign a blank cheque in support of the Ministers proposals until the legislation is allowed transparent, consultative debate.”
