Sandman the next Villain in the spidey movies? (researched due to this entry)

I’d still like to see Mysterio in a gimmicky 3-d movie for spidey’s third release.

Watched Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. Worked for me, but might not for most. I suspect that GrayP would find it entertaining, but I doubt eryx_uk or Danny could get into it.

I chased it with Gojira tai Hedorâ… I hadn’t seen it for a good 10 years, and I was overdue. I forgot all about the fish-headed folks and weirdo cartoons that are in this one. Mmm… Smog-monster-liscious. and Godzilla Flying under his own power. (2 meg mpg file) (thanks to badmovies.org)

Moment of Lyric: “Save the Earth” (from “Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster“)

Animals, God’s animals
Don’t go away, don’t go
Flowers, my flowers
Don’t go away, don’t go
The sea has cobalt, it’s full of mercury
Too many fumes in our oxygen
All the smog now is choking you and me
Good Lord, where is it gonna end?
Got to get it back, someday
Got to get it back, and soon now
For tomorrow maybe you and me
We’re movin’, we’re movin’, movin’ to the Moon now
It’s up to us to make a choice
We know what it’s worth to save the Earth
Come raise your voice
Save the Earth! (save the Earth) …

What is this?
It’s a map of 33,000 English nouns. Each tiny rectangle corresponds to a noun. The color of the rectangle has been assigned a color, based on an internet image search for that noun. The words are clustered so that similar words are near each other. You can move your mouse around the map to see what word a rectangle represents. You can also click and zoom in, to see individual clusters. The gallery page has many examples.

Can I pick a color and see what word it corresponds to?
Yes. Click on the “color” button. That will arrange the words by hue and brightness, forming a kind of color chooser. Move the mouse over the rectangles to see what words they correspond to.

Can I type a word and see what color it is?
Yes. Type the word into the “all starting with” text box. As you type, the map will narrow down to show all the words starting with the letters you’ve typed.

How exactly did you assign colors?
For each word, we performed a Yahoo image search and retrieved 50 image results. (If fewer than 50 images were found, we deemed the word too obscure and discarded it.) Then for each image we averaged the values of the pixels in the middle and then averaged those 50 results. We brightened the colors slightly for display.
