Wow! My very own Bling-Bling!
But Battle Royale? Nah! My first thought was Running Man http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093894/

Step 2: http://imdb.com/title/tt0103239/

While the sum of 2+6+1+1+3=13 is mildly interesting, I never thought much about Friday the Thirteenth outside of Pogo strips. Walt kelly's character in the strip, Churchy LaFemme perhaps more than any other source kept the Friday the Thirteenth fear alive as the turtle fled in horror for decades, long before the series of films arrived. For those of us who remember (and in some cases still read) the strip, it's still a source of amusement.

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! It's Friday the thirteenth! Very unlucky to get shot on Friday the thirteenth!"

2+6+1+1+4=14, so there goes Saturday the 14th too.

A dangerous undersea mountain top called Ripple Rock was blown up by the Canadians in 1958. I always thought it was the world's largest deliberate chemical explosion. Anyway, some people think the Korean explosion was only 500 kilotons. So, a large chemical explosion has been done before and it could have been done again.

Given that the North Korean dictator is addicted to western movies, maybe he's taken his lead from a Peter Sellers movie, The Mouse that Roared. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053084/

So how do you translate "DO NOT RUN WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS" into Arabic?

"ACK ack ack ACK ACK"?

Mad Virii (GNAP) Washington, DC - In a baffling move that sent shockwaves throughout the anuses of gay niggers everywhere, federal officials investigating the death of Freenode administrator and posterboy Rob Levin have recently announced clues that seem to assign blame towards the Gay Nigger Association of America.

An announcement of his death was transmitted as a Global Notice across the Freenode network, on September 17 at 06:18 JST:
06:18 -christel(i=christel@freenode/staff/gentoo.christe l)- [Global Notice] On the 12th September Rob Levin, known to many as Freenode's lilo, was hit by a car while riding his bike. He suffered head injuries and passed away in hospital on the 16th. For more information please visit #freenode-announce

"It seems that the bike was impacted by a large pink bus in the shape of a hypodermic phallus," an inside source stated. "Levin's carcass was penetrated anally by the hood ornament, and it took a team of coroners to remove the several gallons of what could only be described as seminal fluid from the victim." EMTs on the scene say Levin's body was covered with open sores.

The GNAA reaction was astonishing. "We have stuck alot of things up Rob Levin's ass in our time, but we maintain innocence," stated GNAA president timecop, fingers crossed."Even when driving a bus up some nigger's ass was fashionable, the GNAA never took part in it."

Later on at the Rob Levin's Death after-party, GNAA member madvirii exclaimed "OH LAWD IZ DAT SUM DEAD FREENODE ADMIN?" and there was liberal lolling.

This reminds me of this film.

If you manage to swallow the basic premise then the rest of the science isn't too incoherent: also, it's beautifully written, shot and acted (especially by the late great Leo Mckern.)

Well worth a view.

I suppose it's time for someone to remake the movie The Day the Fish Came Out (1967)

How do animal extinctions change the Earth's orbit?

As for moving the Earth's orbit, they did that in Gorath.

They cover Antarctica with giant, city-sized rocket engines. Yep. SOLID science fiction, baby.

I guess the pharmaceutical company reference tied it to the movie remake, I'm sure young slashdotters wouldn't get the 1960's TV show "The Fugitive" reference.

Poor moderators don't get the Harrison Ford, Fugative reference :(

But considering half of slashdot is under the age of 17, I'm not surprised. Anyway, I would have marked you funny

Good Lord... Didn't you see Broken Arrow? John Travolta has them. But don't worry, teen hearthrob (of the 80's) Christian Slater will get them back.

that isn't to say there aren't violent psychopathic criminals. Most serial killers, and violent sex offenders who target adult women, would qualify.

So are you saying violent sex offenders who target children aren't psychopaths? What about psychopathic people who target men? (sorry to nitpick, but as someone who works in that field, some comments like that catch my attention)

In fact, I'm not even convinced they represent a signifigant fraction of violent criminals - the numbers I've seen vary wildly, which suggest to me that nobody knows how many of them exist with any certainty.

That's because it takes time to measure, and gather evidence. This isn't easy to do without the money/staff/training/desire of state and federal prison systems, and even that is only identifying psychopaths who have been caught for whatever they have done. And psychopaths don't make it any easier to identify themselves by doing what they do well - lying.

So I RTFA (first mistake). What Jonathan seems to be blogging is not that the centralized data storage would go out the window, but the glass walled, polished showcase data center on the main floor. You know, the impressive early Hackers datacenter. Already, at many companies, the servers are utilities like the generator or the PBX--stowed away in a room somewhere.

Now if 20 connected server racks in 20 rooms is better than the big room might be a good question. But I don't think anyone seriously suggests to link all the wireless drill bits from the Gulf of Mexico to Siberia in real time.

Why waste their time on Atari 2600 games when they could have teach the kid some russian and steal TEH MOST ADVANCED FIGHTER JET ON EARTH????!!!!111one

puff puff pass the movie, or aka LIving High where two guys wanted to get into business selling tiny adds, its complex.

Are you sure? I thought the problem was that you wake up and the world has become overrun by sex-crazed, corporate-brainwashed morons...

The problem is that when you wake up, the world will have become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself run by a bunch of robed sissies.

There's no way that advertisers can MAKE us watch ads.

Two words.

Product placement.

The two best theatrical examples I can think of:

The Truman Show Satirical, disturbing use of 'product placement' for storytelling purposes.

and

Superman: The Movie Cheerios at sunrise scene. Possibly the most tasteful product placement shot in movie history.

Everything else I've seen is just mere product placement(in-content advertising)—no matter how subtle it is. Here is a notable example of the latter style of product placement I remember:

Speed The background Miller Beer Truck in one highway scene and the characters 'swilling' said brand elsewhere in the movie. Probably just ginger ale as a stand-in for 'MGD' or non-alcoholic SHARPS instead of the real thing. No, I don't drink any alcoholic beverages (including stuff like SHARPS)—life is enough of a challenge as it to want to face it in full command of one's faculties.

...an updated version of Dash to Death from MXC.

I have two words for this (in funny-bad dubbing), "L-L-Let's go!"

Ok, three more words, "DON'T! GET! ELIMINATED!"

Understanding the MADness of Mutually Assured Destruction requires a bit of mental gymnastics.

Thinking with MADness, it's in North Korea's interest to convince the world that it has nukes. Without nukes, they have no feasible deterrent against an army of superior strength (U.S., China, etc.).

When dealing with nuclear weapons, safe is better than sorry, so when someone announces "We have nuclear weapons," one should act as if they did. However, repeated claims without evidence can lead others to think the claimant is bluffing. The next step is therefore to perform a nuclear test, proving "Yes, I am a skunk, and yes, my glands are charged." It's no coincidence that India and Pakistan conducted their first nuclear tests within about a month of each other. It's a high stakes, high tech, high investment Mexican standoff.

So in one sense, "nukes are the most useless weapon" because they take an enormous amount of resources for a handfull of bombs the owners hope to never use. On the other hand, building a single nuclear bomb can be a lot more cost effective than establishing a large enough army to deter one's enemies.

It does not make me comfortable to know that people like Kim Jong Il and George W. Bush are in charge of weapons of mass destruction. As Robert McNamara revealed in The Fog of War, the fate of the world could rest on having inaccurate information.

The technology problem has been solved. Now it becomes a political and psychological problem. To see how small things can lead to big problems, watch Dr. Strangelove, perhaps the only movie I think everyone should watch.

And is there no news-paper for the upper crust intellectual class (or classes) ? I've heard of folks who get their news-papers ironed for them - but I always thought that this was to make the all the picures of nude ladies look really smooth; thus inspiring the upper-class (or classes) to regenerate themselves. But perhaps I'm wrong about this.

Ahh, an American, and one clearly well versed in gritty British documentaries.

I'm surprised you don't know that the paper for intellectual class is The Guardian.

Seeing banners stating the pope must be killed, etc.. isn't making me feel comfortable

Relax, it's probably just a movie poster

The parent poster probably means Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island.

She was supposed to be the Midwestern "Girl Next Door". Nothing doing. She was hot.

I think you are thinking of "Companion"

To the point where it would threaten the space program?!? The outside of our comfortable, warm, fluffy atmosphere is a very harsh environment. But if humanity is to have *any* room to grow, we eventually have to go there, though I'd propose we expand underwater first. Sometimes, I wonder about people's sense of exploration.

For those interested in space, I highly recommend the anime Planetes. At the beginning, it specifically deals with artificial space junk floating around threatening space travel in a very plausible view of humanity in 70 years. Overall, the series deals with the dangers of space exploration and the sacrifices humanity will have to endure to explore it (as humans are preparing for a voyage to Jupiter in the series, after already set foot on Mars and setup a small city on the Moon). It's one of the most inspiring TV programs I have ever seen, so much so I actually recommend it for hard-science fiction fans to watch (even if they generally don't watch anime).

who are these teenagers that have all day to kick people in their crotch

I'm hoping one of these days people will realize, just like Tamagotchies, pet rocks and the Tubthumping song, that the only reason sites like YouTube and MySpace prevade culture are because they're popular. It has nothing to do with great content or inherently good design.

Um, what Zemeckis movie did Shatner cameo in? Maybe you meant "Zucker & Zucker" although if you meant that in reference to Airplane 2 you'd still be wrong, the Zuckers didn't do that one.
