ザ・タウン(THE TOWN)

IMG_7176.jpg

アクション映画として見る分には、まあ普通に面白かったけど。
ストーリーまで含めるとちとビミョーかなあ。

ここを見せたいんだ、と思われるとこはわかるはわかるけど。
タウンから抜け出したくても抜け出せない鬱屈とした感じが、
イマイチ伝わってこないんだよなあ。アメリカの映画だからなのかな?
悪人とかは、すごく感じたけど。

なんだかんだいっても、殺人までやってる立派な犯罪者だから。
ああいう、ある意味キレイな終わり方はいかがなものかと。死んじゃった方が、
訴えるもんがあるけどなあ、オレ的には。

最後のオレンジの意味は、を見てわかったし。日本人には、なかなかわからんだ
ろ、これ。晴れた日云々、もそうだけど、仕込みをちゃんと把握してないと??
となっちゃうんだなあ。一番の盛り上がり時に乗り遅れて、ちと寂しい感じ

ARMADA

JJにUS PATENT Noがプリントされてたので調べてみたら
出て来た。

http://www.scribd.com/doc/39310499/Snow-riding-implement-US-patent-7690674
まじめに英語、読んだぜいw

概要的には、
センターよりも前は太くて後ろが細い微妙なツチノコ形状でロッカー、だけどセ
ンターはサイドカット付きのノンロッカー、ってとこか。

メインクレームは、板の形状そのものだな。
●センターのウエストが、前側の後ろ縁、及び後ろ側の前縁より狭くて、凹のサ
イドカットを持っている、
●tipとセンターの前縁間がfore-body(すなわちfore-bodyは、センターとの接
合部が後ろ縁でtipとの接合部が前縁になる)で、fore-bodyの後ろ縁で一番太く、
fore-body前縁に向かってストレート、もしくは凸になっている、
●センターの後ろ縁とテールの間がaft-body(すなわちaft-bodyは、テールとの
接合部が後ろ縁でセンターとの接合部が前縁になる)で、aft-bodyの後ろ縁より
も前縁の方が太くなっている、
●fore-body下面はロッカー形状で、センターのキャンバーは、fore-bodyからセ
ンターに切り替わる部分から、センターからaft-bodyに切り替わる部分まで伸び
ていて、その切り替わり部では凹からストレート、もしくは凸にサイドカットが
切り替わり最も太くなる、
ってとこか。
後ろがロッカーになってるってのは、メインクレームじゃなくってサブなのね。
微妙に前が太いのもサブなんだ。

実施例読むと、基本設計は185cmっぽい。
ティップロッカーのが、微妙に小さい。
185cmの板で、tipは1.5cmでショベル5cm、テールが2cmでショベル5.98cm。そ
れが、簡単なスキーとバックワードジャンプのランディングを可能にするそ
うな。出来ないけど

その他の実施例で、ワイヤーで引っ張って前後ロッカーをアジャスタブルにする、
なんてのも書かれてる。笑えるけど、そのうち出てくるのかもなあ。

以下、クレーム。

mechanism comprises a cable secured to the device forward of the
mid-portion and rearward of the mid-portion and a tensioner engaging
the cable and ski to enable adjustment of the tension of the cable.
20. A snow riding device comprising:
a shovel end and a tail end each having a raised tip portion;
a sliding surface formed on an underside of the device extending
between the shovel end and tail end;
a binding secured to an upper surface of a central portion of the
device; and

おっさん、おばさん、大活躍w。
ってか、役者がスンバラすかった。
話は、チョー単純なアクションもの。この手の映画、大好き。
