It sounds like something from Serenity or perhaps the Original series, Firefly. But I don't know.

According to This film is not yet rated, many of the MPAA's panel members are busy protecting children that they do not have. The MPAA tend to give members preferential treatment, making it much more difficult for independents and they tend to be arbitrary and unaccountable. Whether or not all the accusations made are true, it certainly seems easier to distribute a violent gorefest than a film depicting normal human activity. Lack of an MPAA certification doesn't totally prevent circulation, but it does restrict it considerably.

It's been ages since I've been to a movie because of him.

It's all anime for me now.

Now that really IS a travesty.

Personally, I disliked Jack way before any of YOU people did... well I hated him for stuff he did earlier, at any rate.

I'll always remember him as the SOB who helped the (even bigger SOB) LBJ win office by really shady tactics. In a documentary about Barry Goldwater (LBJ's opponent), Jack basically said "yeah, it was messed up, but it's OK cuz it worked!" Yeah, thanks for Vietnam, cock.

Of course, the MPAA rating system (which has a really Excellent documentary written about it) has pretty much borked the movie industry.

Did anyone else think of this movie too? You know, the scene where she buries her boyfriend in the medicinal dirt to save his life?

This article reminded me again of something I saw a few years ago at a local film festival. It's called Rok Dabla (Year of the Devil), a film/mockumentary (well, partly) about another struggling band, in Czech Republic's own fashion. It seemed to be influenced a lot by Spinal Tap, and even had a few homages to its predecessor. And it's also just as hilarious.

You don't support the criminalization of hands, penises, or the infinite multitude of objects that could serve as murder weapons, do you?

I thought only superman could murder someone with this penis.[1]

Brodie: It's impossible, Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry her child?

No way he's been around more than 23 years.

Convicted? No, never convicted!

Well, it'll definitely take balls. Generational transport or whatever it's called... there's a name for it.. I'll google for something else instead to make a joke.. here: Turns out it may not take balls after all!

Like Martha Stewert, what the hell do they have to gain by doing this? They are already as rich as anyone needs to be. His net gain is probably the equivalent of me finding a penny on the street.

fellacious (GNAP) Intercourse, PA - Windows Vista appears to finally be taking off, at least within one Fortune 100 company. The GNAA had for the past 13 years been using Red Hat Linux and it's successor, Fedora Core, but growing discontent with the free software operating system forced CTO Jmax to declare on Wednesday that the company was to be switching its entire infrastructure to the new version of Windows, effective immediately. "I'm not going to theatrically claim that I wasn't expecting to have to do this," Jmax said. "This has been coming for quite some time." The GNAA's troubles with Red Hat's Linux system included chronic governance problems, a persistent failure to maintain key repositories, a complex and undocumented submission process which has kept the GNAA's free trolling utilities off the Red Hat-based desktops of thousands of would-be trolls, inability to keep RPM up to date, and a failure to address the problem of Firefox not crashing a entire computer when the user loads Last Measure. "The deal-breaker, though, was when a key Last Measure server remained down for four hours while our entire Intercourse development team tried desperately to bring it up despite not having statically-linked package manager binaries." What had happened was Dikky, visiting from Norway, wanted to play the child pornography mod of Doom 3 on that server- which had to drag several libraries with it. "In addition," said Jmax, "several key software applications used in the GNAA's corporate workflow are proprietary software- which means that they had to be run in an Ubuntu compatibility environment anyway." However, being as those unnamed applications were written in C#.NET, "We expect that our transition to Windows Vista will come off without a hitch."

About Jmax:

The CTO of the GNAA, Jmax also has a seat on Microsoft's board of directors. His resume can be accessed at http://goatse.fr/.

About Windows Vista:

The fastest-growing desktop operating system on the market, Windows Vista combines the legendary security of Windows 98 with the legendary ease of use of those computer interfaces you see in the movies into one ultra-fast, ultra-stable computing platform.

About Red Hat:

A failure of a computer company, Red Hat burns through investor money while giving its products away for free. It is currently under investigation from the SEC for misuse of invested funds, and being sued by the GNAA for breach of contract for sucking more than specified in the GNAA's contract with Red Hat.

About the Linux community:

Trolled.

Why not? It's quick and easy - only 3 simple steps!

• First, you have to obtain a copy of GAYNIGGERS FROM OUTER SPACE THE MOVIE and watch it. You can download the movie (~130mb) using BitTorrent.

Gene Hackman and Michael Caine in the same movie, I have my thesis(stands up) I can stop watching TV!!!

Greene: Oh, I see what your problem is. Look, you're confused by their names, because they all sound like questions. Well, I'll explain it to you. See, the President is Hu, Hu Jintao, and you're probably not familiar with that name because his grandfather was Chinese. And the Premier's name is Wen. W-E-N. Coincidently his grandfather was also Chinese.

McGillicuty: That's it. You're hopeless, you're pathetic, you're the worst straight man I ever worked with. I quit. I should have never saved you from those seals.

Greene: What are you talking about? I auditioned for this job.

Ahh Kids in the Hall.

The Road to Guantanamo - about three British muslims who end up in Gitmo, get abused and then released.

It sounds like a drumroll Tito Puente might have done. It's about the right pitch for one of his timbales.

Although, it also kind of sounds like the signal being sent around on satellites in ID4.

So basically it's either a message from one of the greatest Latin drummers or aliens hell bent on destroying the earth. Have a nice weekend everyone!

Oh man, that's the creepiest thing ever. Good Lord, how can they get away with that kind of crap?

Donations to their representatives, and the use of basic psychology that isnt far off from methods used by this group

Look up Lichfield and Kay for all terms in the state of Utah here. They'll show up quite clearly when you match up their already known residences there to names. (source:ISAC) It helps to have support in certain places to not worry about legal issues. Conducting semi-legal transfers of minors to uncertified camps that are just "private detention centers" more than a "boarding school by force" has attracted a good deal of attention, and they still survive.

In the case of those donations, one might have a chance - if to catch Mitt Romney in a "think of the children" moment. That is, the question to ask is: "what do you know about this group, and why are they allowed in your state to permanently harm a minor, despite the known evidence?". Follow up with the media(CBS may have done a segment on this in the 90's, so it'd not be a bad angle if you can get them to tie that to Romney) that could use it if he refuses, even if shown the donation record to his political party from this group. If done properly, it should stir up the nest for some interesting moments to have some publicly answered questions.

As for basic psychology, there is a basic (but flawed) presumption that children in these settings speak out of patient-sourced manipulation to get out, and that is well used by this organization. Turn the parents against the children, and make it near impossible to "not go with the program"(read:send them far enough away that nobody is near home), and you have a recipe for folks that don't know much more than how to comply with an order.

In this case, truth is quite stranger than some fiction, and it makes SCO's deeds look saintly by comparison.

So, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 would be like Waterworld, with 'Academician Lomonosov' being the center of the zone?

And more importantly why does the entire industry feel the need to play dirty?

Ground troops, you say? Through a tunnel between Asia and North America?

Montana's National Guard would not be the one building anything around the state. The National Guard is in support of the Governor. If the Governor calls them back, then they are to be called back. (Them getting back may be a different matter).

Someone who responded to the other response to this thread mentioned something about supply lines. Can you imagine how many arms dealers would jump at the opportunity to supply arms to a US State that is in defiance of the Federal Government?

Next, if things did go that far, how many other states would send in their National Guard to help Montana? Maybe not many, but it is possible, especially if things went that far. If you did not catch the movie "The Second Civil War" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120086/, it might be interesting to watch. I don't remember much and I disagreed with quite a bit, but in regards to a State holding out against the Federal Government, it has some interesting points of view. (I will state I do not believe the firing squad scene would be held out in 1997, or even in 2007, watch the movie and you will see what I mean).

I wish Montana luck with what they are doing.

If you're thinking of The Second Civil War, that was Idaho.

The Second Civil War? Brilliant movie. But it's Idaho, not Montana ...

Anyone who has seen the original 1979 movie that i imagine is heavily influencial to this, may well disagree. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079944/ But then again, will have to play the game first.

What movie could you possibly compare the unrealistic violence toward - say aliens - in Quake 4 to?

Oh I dunno, say, Aliens?

You mean Idiocracy?

I'm still undecided whether it is mainly entertainment or very seriously meant warning. I'm just quite sure it is not both. :)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244870/
The right movie for you :)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/

For the sake of our species, I would advise you all (Creationists and Evolutionist) to pray (To Jesus or Darwin) that human intelligence is not seriously impacted by our genetic makeup. If it is our society will collapse when we are no longer able to maintain what our parents built.

This movie is particularly prophetic.

So you've seen Idiocracy then I take it...

Have you ever seen the movie "Idiocracy"? Almost exactly what you are talking about, just a little funnier.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/

"The purpose of the program set up by the Pentagon, called the "Human Hibernation Project," is designed so that the military can save their best men for when they're needed most. According to the officers heading the project, too many times the talents and expensive training of the best pilots and soldiers go to waste during times of peace. So they enlist Bauers (Wilson), the most under-achieving average guy they've got, to be the test subject for the initial hibernation experiment. Also participating in the top-secret program is Rita (Rudolph), a prostitute who agreed to take part in exchange for dropping some criminal charges against her, among other things. Of course, the experiment, which was to last only a year, goes under due to the arrest of Officer Collins, who is busted for heading a prostitution ring. Seeing as though he was in charge of the experiment, one of the only ones who knew of its existence, and "due to a lot of top-secret red tape... and the massive scandals and base closure that followed, Joe and Rita were forgotten about. Written by Slider

Joe Bauers, an Army librarian, is judged to be absolutely average in every regard, has no relatives, has no future, so he's chosen to be one of the two test subjects in a top-secret hibernation program. He and hooker Rita were to awaken in one year, but things go wrong and they wake up instead in 2505. By this time, stupid people have outbred intelligent people; the world is (barely) run by morons--and Joe and Rita are the smartest people in the World."

May I recommend the movie "Idiocracy" as a humorous view on this issue? (A "suppresed" Fox movie btw.)

Especially the Devolution Into there :)
Still, leaves a bad eugenics-taste in your mouth...

When was the last time a genetic predisposition to heart disease, diabetes or MS trumped feeling of genuine love? Or glasses for that matter. Until GATACCA comes to pass and genetic descrimination is a way of life, "genetic progress" will be halted. And I am fine with that.

Have you ever seen Cry_Wolf? It wasn't that great of a movie, but it proved a point. Once you're a liar, no one will ever believe you. And when everyone is a liar, you can't believe anybody.

It sounds like the one from 12:01, which moves and insults the user at the same time.

I presume you just watched V For Vendetta?

He probably trained on Doom. Someone check to see if he was able to aim up and down.

Bad joke, but one has to wonder. Especially with hollywood seemingingly taking an increasingly cavalier attitude about putting hardcore violence in films. A lot of what is passing for R these days would have gotten NC-17 ten years ago. I bet the movie grindhouse tanks this weekend.

Why the scare quotes? Crash won the Oscar for best motion picture of the year.

Or perhaps you meant the crash of the movie industry? Pbbbbbttt.

The videogame market in the 80s was measured in millions of dollars. Today it's billions of dollars several times over. When you have that kind of money available to be spent on some medium, it means that someone has to produce crap just to keep sales going. Look at movies. There are something like 2,000 movies released a year. How many are actually good? Five? Ten? Yet no one in Hollywood fools themselves into thinking that movies have gotten worse since the heady days of the Great Train Robbery

What actually happened is that the number of great games has remained relatively constant. In the 80s, say there were 5 great games per year. Today, there are still 5 great games per year, except hundreds/thousands more are released. This is why it seems that games aren't as great today as they were 20 years ago, yet we don't think that about movies -- we've just been around to see that ratio of good-to-crap drop quickly.

Dude, this is Zoom you're talking about! Look at the review ratings. All 8GB on the disc is crapola!

... and cover it to make sure it doesn't get any sunlight ...

Matrix?

To the practical...(?)
