Stallone wrote and starred in an Oscar-winning movie. I think you have to have a few brain cells to pull something like that off - What have you done that's so smart?

During the last elections we saw how the anti-war sentiment that has grown over the years have from one day to another given the democrats a rather huge lead in the house. As of now there is nothing to indicate this won't happen in the coming presidential elections as well (the republicans are still pro-war and each of their candidates are simply put quite unpopular).

Though corruption makes no distinction between party lines (if you think democrats are not being bought off by huge corporations just as easily you're fooling yourself) there is also a substantial amount democrats who'd like to grab Halliburton (and to a lesser extend Cheney & friends) by the balls. And seeing as the Iraq war was (from the perspective of Halliburton) merely a risky but profitable investment (though it would have been far more profitable if the Iraqis had "cooperated" as "planned" and helped sell out their country's oil) they would have nothing to fear as long as their republican cronies led by Cheney were still to remain in office.

Seeing as the tides may shift though, they apparently decided to relocate their HQs to a place were US law (and any sort of law enforcement for that matter) could not reach them.

For some background on how the war basically shifted billions of the US tax payers' dollars to Halliburton and other US "no-bid contract" companies while tens of thousands of people lost their lifes violently have a look at the documentary Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers (2006).

Moreover, as this Court has explained, although a dismissal in contexts like this one may appear "harsh" for the individual plaintiffs, the "greater public good," and "ultimately the less harsh remedy," is the protection of military and intelligence secrets the release of which could harm the public's safety.

For example:
"Brian: Thank God you've come, Reg.
Reg: Well, I think I should point out first, Brian, in all fairness, we are not, in fact, the rescue committee. However, I have been asked to read the following prepare statement on behalf of the movement. "We the People's Front of Judea, brackets, officials, end brackets, do hereby convey our sincere fraternal and sisterly greetings to you, Brian, on this, the occasion of your martyrdom. "
Brian: What?
Reg: "Your death will stand as a landmark in the continuing struggle to liberate the parent land from the hands of the Roman imperialist aggressors, excluding those concerned with drainage, medicine, roads, housing, education, viniculture and any other Romans contributing to the welfare of Jews of both sexes and hermaphrodites. Signed, on behalf of the P. F. J. , etc. " And I'd just like to add, on a personal note, my own admiration, for what you're doing for us, Brian, on what must be, after all, for you a very difficult time. "

Actualy it does. It works under the considition that air based lasors that we are attempting to build works. We can deny any country access to space by this weapon alone if it works as advertised.

Alone in the Dark made one hell of a movie as well. Uwe Bolle is a genius.

Amazing to live in an age where we see science fiction morph into science fact, isn't it? (PS: anyone else remember this movie for something other than Susan Dey's pert, freshly scanned nipples? :-) )

Wow, I can't wait to watch Gigli on Viiv!

Actually when I read the blurb I thought of Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind only without the crazy non-linear adventure through your psyche to save that memory of having sex with Kate Winslet on the couch after looking down at her crotch... At least that's what I got from the movie *cough*.

Cool... it might open up a new way for some of us to make a paycheck.

As a classically-trained singer, I heartily endorse this software in the hopes that it will raise cultural awareness of the musical art form.

Don't get your hopes up. The movie Firefox is ranked at #14,185 for DVD sales on Amazon.com. Having a browser of the same name didn't help it one bit!

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."

Following a covert infiltration of their Tel-Aviv headquarters by a crack team of elite GNAA agents, Zionist news organization CNN today publicly declassified top-secret information regarding the September 11 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, information which was until now actively supressed by the Zionist Occupied Governments of the West. Thousands of jewish viewers across America choked on their evening halvah (muslim babies) as, in a primetime broadcast, Paula Zahn (herself a latent jew) was forced at dongpoint to reveal the awful truth behind the 9/11 attacks which the rest of the civilized (read: non-judaic) world has long suspected: Jews Did WTC.

Fast-forwarding past the 1080p CP on the greasy HD-DVD handed to them by bedpan, the CNN production team played back the devastating GNAA-compiled footage whilst Paula Zahn held back a rectal prolapse to present their findings. Irrefutable proof from highly credible sources (such as regarded public information portals jewsdidwtc.com & Encyclopedia Dramatica) was disclosed in order to finally put an end to the debate. In the interests of equal representation, a token jew was present for the post-footage discussion, together with a panel of gay niggers.

In the unlikely event that you missed this historic broadcast, it has been archived at JewTube.

*Practical* education correlates rightward in politics.

Interestingly enough, gather up a bunch of completely uneducated folk. Think your average redneck country bumpkin. Now, if that population isn't Republican-voting on a 5-to-1 ratio, I'd be shocked. Seems like it must be a lot easier to convince the uneducated to vote based on fear (the playbook of the GOP).

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

Does anyone honestly think that The Shins would be so popular without iTune's help?

Wow. It's not like The Shins didn't get first rate exposure in Garden State. It's not like they are experiencing great radio play on just about every alternative radio station.

Just because iTunes plays them doesn't mean it's their only avenue to success. Perhaps Wincing the Night Away was their most "mainstream" album (it was IMHO as it sucks compared to their others).

Clearly they are invoking the art of The Seed of Doubt http://imdb.com/title/tt0240900/

Fable 2: an adventurer and his dog

Is that a sequel to "A Boy and His Dog"? ;) For those who missed it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072730/

I heard about him. I think he was using the money into researching the possibility of exposure to a large amount of meteor fragments may have on organic material. Last I heard he had a large influx of cash from a local wealthy businessman to continue his studies. Further info on this show is available here

If you'd bothered to read the article before commenting,

<Gerald Butler voice> "Read the article? THIS IS SLASHDOT!!!!!!!!!" </Gerald Butler voice>

:-)

Or perhaps you contact Blofeld, set up a base in a Japanese volcano, and kidnap astronauts to take over the world!

BTW, the article didn't mention geosynchronous orbits at all. Did I miss it?

A pricelessly funny example of that sort of thing was in the movie "Thank You for Smoking" where a US Senator is screaming at a subordinate about how the "cancer boy" they provided for a television talk show didn't look sufficiently hopeless. If you haven't seen the movie, it's highly recommended.

These days, 99.99% of the reporting is drowning in spin from some side or other because reporters now feel like they have to convey "truthiness" and "perspective" (or their version of it) rather than just hard facts. Some of this is because news organizations have to make money to exist, and if they pander to one side or the other it attacts eyeballs (Fox on the Right, NBC on the left are the extreme examples). Like politicians, they've figured out that they can "divide and conquor" - get people to take dogmatic positions on an issue and "join the team" so to speak. After all, it saves people the trouble of thinking for themselves and making up their own minds - a major hassle in today's busy world. Nearly all of the news media has come to justify this by saying it adds value and is some sort of public service, and they've begun to thoroughly buy their own bullshit. This is compounded by the laziness factor - a very significant amount of "reportage" out there just takes press releases and rewords them slightly (if that). If I want to get an article about my business printed in a local newspaper or magazine, I pretty much just write the article for them or it doesn't happen.

We had 3d search engines over a decace ago: http://imdb.com/title/tt0113243/

It seems that this guy doesn't understand what "art" is. Besides being in the eye of the beholder it is also working with what you have. An good artist should be able to create something artful with nearly anything he or she has at hand. Saying that Nintendo doesn't care about games as an art form because their machine is not as powerful as someone else's is just admitting one's own weakness. As Frank Costello pointed out in The Departed "Lennon said, 'I'm an artist. You give me a f*cking tuba, I'll get you something out of it.'"

Further more what qualifies this joker to say nintendo and the wii are incapable of making artful games. Until he has had the same successes as someone like Shigeru Miyamoto or especially in this case Will Wright maybe he should keep his trap shut and do his bosses bidding.

THINK IN RUSSIAN?

Sorry, Firefoxhttp://imdb.com/title/tt0083943/ sure did leave some horrible scars...

In case you were serious (apologies if you were joking). Steve Irwin is the (recently deceased) Crocodile Hunter. Paul Hogan is Crocodile Dundee, from the 80s movie of the same name.

Which is why the scene in the bar in Desperado was so cool when the guns kept running out of ammo or were empty when picked up. Finally, it was realistic to some degree. Good God, did I just use the word 'realistic' to describe "Desperado?"

And of course, High Noon ran in real time as well.

I can think of one movie where this myth doesn't appear: Chan-wook Park's excellent Oldboy. There's a fight scene lasting around two minutes, and it's just one long take with no cuts. Not only is the protagonist very tired after the fight, but the actor was actually tired as well. Also, even though he takes on a bunch of guys by himself, they still managed to make it look like it could be completely plausible.

Time is rarely shown as continuous, forward moving, and in real time.

Try Rope by Hitchcock. It was shot in "real time" using a series of continuous takes, each exactly as long as the maximum length of a movie reel available at the time.

Its a great movie to boot.

I always wondered if I would ever hear it, for real...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044207/

Children of Men was a very underhyped recent movie that had an extremely "real" feel to it largely due to its staying with the protagonist's point of view for the entiritey of the film. Seriously some of the best continuous action shots ever. Highly recommended.

A Scanner Darkly has the best homemade silencer scene EVER.

There's a documentary around somewhere showing how everything worked and the actual bus jump, but I can't remember where I saw it or what it was called.

How about the fact that there is no such thing as a perfect vacuum?

too many Denzel Washington movies. Can we please stop having technology RFP's generated by Hollywood scriptwriters?

On SuperMan II, the three outlaws from Kripton talk to each other all the time while walking on the moon.

Oh good god. Was that the one with the 3 waves of ICBMs (US and USSR) attempting to blow up the asteroid?

If so, I'd agree with you that a movie has to be pretty bad to top that one. Here's one that easily bests it at being horrible: Reptilicus. :)

Anything is better than Meteor with Sean Connery. The not-so-special FX speak for themselves.

Sunshine has all manner of things wrong with it, but it's still probably headed to this years scifi blockbuster.
I resent any film that says "Re-ignite the Sun".

Well, as Reid and you said, we wont get the savings passed on in terms of lower ticket prices, but we might have the savings passed on in terms of a better list of films to choose from.

Personally, the abysmal selection is the strongest factor in keeping me away from the theater right now. I wouldn't be going every week if they offered that better lineup, but I'd be going a hell of alot more often than I do now. The prices are ... somewhat steep sure, but I'm willing to pay for a good experience. I'm just not willing to pay to see Norbit.

Hail Ants!

But...I watch Nat Geo. I know that millions of little itty bitty ants can take on giant ants and wipe 'em out. And New york will once again be safe. The cool thing is that that they'll do it on their own, with no effort on my part. And if that doesn't work, I can always go back to 1971 and go get Ben and Socrates. Could take care of the cockroaches, too.

Oh, yes, by the way, the country still in extreme danger, may not make it back, attempting risky recovery, bla bla bla bla bla bla. We'll see you after the movie.
