What do you call the thing they screw on to the tips of rental snowboards and skis?

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I split open the tip of my board a little. I epoxied it, but I was thinking of clamping it with something just to be safe. What do they call those things they put on the tips of the rental boards? Where can you get them?

nose bones or bumpers

How has German Expressionism influenced the films of Tim Burton?

Monday, December 28th, 2009

So for my History of Cinema class, I have to write a research paper on how German Expressionism has influenced Tim Burton’s films. I would just like to know some of the key points that I should include in my paper. And also, would it be okay to state that German Expressionism ‘branched’ into the horror genre? Tim Burton was greatly influenced by Universal 1930’s horror films. No BS answers, please.

I wrote a paper on German Expressionism for the film section of my local newspaper last year.. The main points you want to know are lighting, set, and acting. German Expressionist films tended to be dark (Robert Wiene’s "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligary", F.W. Murnau’s "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde," "Faust," "The Last Laugh," "Sunrise," "Nosferatu", and Fritz Lang’s "Metropolis," and "Dr. Mabuse" series..) and the sets were pretty elaborate and bizzare.. Definitely the classic form of cinema, oppose to realism– which includes on location shooting, etc. The acting, self explanatory, very expressionistic because there was no sound yet in cinema (this was the 1920s and 30s), much like the films of Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Anyways– all these elements have somewhat influenced Tim Burton’s films.

As for "branching into horror," it’s a bit hard to say. Murnau seemed to be very much included supernatural elements into his films, and Nosferatu, Faust, Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde were all early horrors, but actually German Expressionism eventually branched into Film Noir (early Hollywood crime cinema) as some of the German directors– Fritz Lang, F.W. Murnau, etc. moved to America. Once again, many of these elements discussed you can find in Film Noir.

Hope that cleared some things up.

Is just a thermal/Under Armour enough to wear under snowboarding jacket and pants?

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I am kinda new to snowboarding, last year I wore leggings and long pants, and lots of shirt layers. This year, I am upping my gear-I plan on getting maybe a Burton or such coat and pants. Since these are much better insulated, I was wondering if just a thermal shirt and leggings/pants(like Hot Chillys or Under Armour) would be enough underneath the jacket and pants? No other layers? I would love to just wear this, I don’t get cold too easily and hate feeling bulky…

its hard to answer because the weather can be light or pretty damn cold. for the most part i wear under armour or leggings under my snow pants and if it gets too cold i’ll add sweat pants.

for my coat when its beginning or late season i’ll wear just a tshirt underneath. once it gets colder i’ll wear under armour and a sweatshirt. but it all depends on the weather.
in general under armours perfect!
