Owen didn't come home empty handed from uncle Brandon and aunt Lizs house. He kidnaped Optimus Prime from Riley and Gavins penthouse retreat (their huge bonus room/bedroom). He loves trucks and transformers. After a couple of years little Liam can raid Owens room and reclaim the Prime. By that time Optimus might not look that good (Owen the destroyer), but I am sure there will be "more than meets the eye" (cheesy movie reference) when the time comes.

This time I have supercompiled the 'sum', 'sumEnum', 'sumSumEnum', 'main' functions (in that order).

Before supercompilation:

{ 
 main = emitInt (sumSumEnum (range 0 100)) 0; 
 
 range x y = case (<=) x y of { 
   True -> Cons x (range ((+) x 1) y); 
   False -> Nil; 
 }; 
 
 foldl f z (Nil)			= z; 
 foldl f z (Cons x xs)	= foldl f (f z x) xs; 
 
 map f Nil			= Nil; 
 map f (Cons x xs)	= Cons (f x) (map f xs); 
 
 plus x y = (+) x y; 
 
 sum xs = foldl plus 0 xs; 
 
 sumEnum x = sum (range 0 x); 
 
 sumSumEnum xs = sum (map sumEnum xs); 
}

Returning to our sumSquares (with unfused times) example;

 
{ 
 main = emitInt (sumSquares (range 0 100)) 0; 
 
 range x y = case (<=) x y of { 
 True -> Cons x (range ((+) x 1) y); 
 False -> Nil; 
 }; 
 
 foldl f z (Nil)			= z; 
 foldl f z (Cons x xs)	= foldl f (f z x) xs; 
 
 map f Nil			= Nil; 
 map f (Cons x xs)	= Cons (f x) (map f xs); 
 
 plus x y = (+) x y; 
 
 square x = times x x; 
 
 times x y = foldl plus 0 (replicate x y); 
 replicate n x = if (==) n 0 then Nil else Cons x (replicate ((-) n 1) x); 
 
 sumSquares xs = foldl plus 0 (map square xs); 
} 

We observe certain characteristics in the call-graph [First image in the gallery below] and supercompile specific functions resulting in a new call-graph [Second image in the gallery below].

Headline results, what once took 83,142 ticks now takes 21,717 ticks.

So now I have hints to composition (dashed lines, empty arrow heads). Solid arrows indicate a call.

It's on!

Patrick Boivin realisiert ein "Epic Dance-Off" zwischen zwei Helden meiner Kindheit. Inklusive Moonwalk und Bean'scher Transformers Einlage.

In Stop-Motion! Was will man mehr!?

Ebenfalls in Patricks wahnsinnigem Porfolio: "Iron Man vs. Bruce Lee", "Flashdance Boba Fett", "Optimus Prime Evolution of Dance" sowie die interaktiven YouTube Spielchen "Bboy vs. Joker" und das bekanntere "Street Fighter".

Unbedingte Anguckpflicht!

My attempt at calculating call graphs for f-lite programs. Would also like to indicate data flow through composition too.

UPDATED: Posterous doesn't like SVG apparently.

Futurama, bacon, Optimus Prime, and a haiku:

I couldn't get the haiku in there.

As this is my first 'Skip to the End Review' i thought i'd explain.... i'm gonna ramble in my reviews but if you just want the quick details.... well... skip to the end! hope this works out!

I was stood outside the cinema with my mate G last night.  Basking in the sun and just wondering why the hell we were gonna sit in a darkened room for the next couple hours when the UK is having a mini-heatwave and people have done the inevitable thing of switching from complaining about the cold to complaining about how hot it is.  Humans just can't be happy!  ....and this leads me to say why we were there.  Transformers.  Big huge-ass mechanical, robotic, alien things that ...well.... transform, but not just into a Breville or something.  Big huge trucks and fighter jets.  Yeah, this is a typical male thing who just LOVE toys, especially big ones with rockets and jets and engines and....well... you get the idea.  This is one of those franchises that many will remember growing up with including myself which is why we were there.

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
is the sequal to the Transformers movie released in 2007, both produced and directed by Michael Bay who has done other films such as The Island, Armagedden, and Bad Boys.

SYNOPSIS the film starts with a bunch of cavemen following a 'asteroid' and guess what? they find a load of transformers.  They're alright just harvesting some power from the sun, no worries, then theres this one guy known as 'The Fallen' who, guess what? wants to use it for evil, whowuddathunkit? anyway, the 'Elder Primes' (something like that anyway...) sacrifice their bodies to hide the key' which switches on the harvesting device.  Skip to the present day and the decepticons are trying to get megatron back and switch this machine on under instructions from the weakened fallen.

That is basically the premise of the story, good vs evil again, with an 'innocent kid' cought up in it all but sometimes you're chosen and destined to right the world... that kinda thing.

Whilst watching the film I noticed a couple .... peculiarities...  I think these were added to make the film be more topical.  e.g. there are two OBVIOUSLY overdubbed bits in between scenes where there is dialogue which blatently wasn't in the original script.  One mentions Obama, the other swine flu.  These seem pointless and added absolutely nothing to the already mediocre storyline. 

Other than this i gotta say, the SOUND was pretty good, i mean, even the opening sequence with the paramount pictures thing coming up sounded good!  Low end sweeteners, high twinkly metalic sounds spinning around you, crazy FM Synthesis or whatever other kind of synthesis was used.  Thats some good sounds.  During the film action sequences were big.  Some things made me snigger though like really stereotypical 'things in filght' sounds like a cow moo, car alarm, etc.

I didn't really feel any connection to any CHARACTERS or care for them (until one part which is shocking but you can still kinda guess the outcome, either way sad times...), to be honest when i say that i mean the main character Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf).  I thought he was a bit of a prick.  I mean, fine... you discovered an alien race and helped defeat the Decepticons AND you ended up with a really hot chick, Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox) BUT theres no need to become an arrogant twat.  He's trying to become 'a normal college kid' in this one, the premise of many a film.  As for Mikaela i felt for her *high five* giddigy.  I digress.

The ACTION SCENES THIS is what this film is about.  They. Were. Awesome! robots flying around, gigantic cannons, rockets, machine guns, fast cars, and did i mention big F'ing robot fights ripping into each others mechanical guts! pulling out parts from their very souls.  Well good!  one particular fight to mention is when Bumblebee is trying to save Sam, i mention this one in particular cos the fight is awesome but also there is a small amount of emotinal attachment to him and you never see him do much apart from drive Sam about.

--------------------------------------

END so, this film was ok about a 7/10.  What lets it down is the storyline and some poorly overdubbed scenes and poorly executed comedy (perhaps the comedy woulda appealed to someone younger).  However, the action is immense, everytime there are huge robotic transforming aliens on screen the film is awesome, every time they're not you just wanna see Megan Fox. ha.

I would say the film is definitely worth seeing, as i thought it was better than the first one and its frickin' Transformers! The action scenes definitely redeem this film for some of its AWFUL jokes, which, many-a-girl would say were pretty funny so... i guess the film has something very everyone.... date movie, family movie, geeks movie(not geeky enough perhaps actually)...

CONCLUSION Transformers are cool, everything and everyone surrounding them are not.

in future this bit won't exist but like i said at the beginning, my first STTE (Skip to the End) review i just wanted to say i hope that was alright and if you have any suggestions on what you would change, other aspects of a movie i should have mentioned, or just general remarks please feel free to sound of in the comments!

peace mofos. :P
