If so, Randall Glass, aka. the creator of the (in)famous Warthog Jump, is happy to provide:

Six minutes from the movie "A Few Good Men," redone under Half-Life 2's Source engine. How long before we see original courtroom drama unfold in the realm of machinima?

Wow. How do they get their lips to move like that? A feature like that in SL would be wonderful.

It's a feature of Source, one of the more beautiful engines out there. Lip-synching is handled by synching phonemes to audio. You can also modify expressions and whatnot. Information about the FacePoser program is here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/FacePoser_Overview

In my dreams, Second Life would be run using Source, assets would never be mishandled, lag would be nonexistant, and I'd be playing on a US$10K rig.

Wow. It's like iMovie HD and Poser all in one! Very impressive.
