Since the pubic bone is rather thick, I'd guess you'd be
talking a quercetin enema. Might sound gross but for someone with
one of the most deadly and painful cancers -- I'd doubt there
would be much objection. The ultrasound should have no problems
penetrating the bone though. But...I think you could stand a
60 second ultrasonic quercetin enema if it meant it would save your
life. I'm sure the Hulk could have handled it.

Now I remember!

Watch the movie and then get back to us.

If someone publishes a game called, "Kill the Nigger" that feature KKK members torturing blacks in a historical context, I won't buy it and I'd probably join in a boycott.

Did you ever see the TV miniseries "Roots" from the late 70's? It's full of racism and brutality. It was also one of the highest rated shows ever. I don't recall there being a lot of racist attacks after Roots played.

It's just another kneejerk "boycott".

This must be your favorite film.

The scene with the gutted animal was probably inspired by the swedish movie Utvandrarna/The Emigrants, in which the main character (a 19:th century swedish farmer who emigrated to America) saves the life of his son when they are caught in a blizzard by killing his only oxe and sheltering his sons body in the carcas.

Check out Derzu Uzala if you want to know more about Yoda :)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071411/

No wonder George Lucas was (again) inspired by Akira Kurosawa. Btw, Derzu Uzala was released in 1975 and won an Oscar (best Foreign Language Film), and Staw Wars: Episode V was released 5 years later in 198).

I think the real goal would be to dump the animal's viscera and use the large rib cage and fat/hide as a sort of shelter or smelly windbreak. The damp gutsy stuff in an opened-up belly would very quickly be a big old heatsink in the sort of wind and temps portrayed in the movie.

If you really a fun portrayal of this sort of thing, watch the evade-the-British-captors scene in the 1995 version of Rob Roy, starring Liam Neeson. That's a great movie, even without light sabers. Ye Old Ferrous Cutlery does just fine for those Baroque combatants. Tim Roth does a particularly slimy job as the primary villain. Highly recommended.

If you haven't see it; see it. This is David Cronenberg's statement on video games, reality, and, yes, video game controllers... The movie, (and game in the movie) is eXistenZ.

I find it quite irritating that some books are out to trick their readers, and there are many I'd prefer had never been written simply because it means I spend more time having to argue with and correct people on certain topics if they've been taking rubbish sources seriously. But the thought of non-fiction books having to be factually correct seems quite far-fetched. If publishers and authors could be sued for providing factually wrong books in a non-fiction category, then categories such as "New age" would be illegal, simply because authors who publish in them tend to be out to swindle their readers in one way or another by definition, and the publisher's probably in it for the sales. (Okay, I see New Age as fiction, but many book shops, publishers and people don't.)

Some of the best satire can come from effectively lying to an audience, and I don't see how you could cleanly distinguish it. Peter Jackson is just an example of someone who's done this, having faked an historical documentory (see Forgotten Silver) and lied about its origins to get it on TV. He had a lot of gullible people thinking they were seeing actual history, including the TV network, before he revealed it was all made up. What's the difference? Could he have been sued by the network? Possibly, but he took that chance and he wasn't, and now Forgotten Silver is considered a work of art.

As sad as I think it is that there are some really crappy books out there, and people who believe them, I'm not sure how rules could be made to fairly place responsibility on a publisher. Personally I think that fact checking should come from peers after publication, and it should be the responsibility of the reader to check if the facts have been checked. Hopefully anything that's actually important enough and relied on by enough people will have its facts checked, resulting in either confirmation, or a very embarassed author and publisher. There are always reputations to go on. In the case the article speaks of, the publisher is hopefully now being made to look more than a little stupid, and I'd like to think that Oprah's Book Club reputation is probably suffering a bit more than it was previously if its followers ever cared about this sort of thing. I've never followed her book club myself, but that's for good reason.

Probably. The earliest sighting I know of is the "gangster of uncertain origin" from the 1984 movie, Johnny Dangerously http://imdb.com/title/tt0087507/, a silly gangster spoof.

Christina Applegate is a mensa genious

So are plenty of porn stars. Asia Carrera (sp??) and one of the newer seemingly bimbo chicks (very hot pornstar!!! I can't remember her name, but she was on HBO recently) and many others have over 140 IQs and/or are mensa types.

this or this or this does not classify as a hottie in my book. She is only 34 now, and looks average at best for her age, and has access to good healthcare and plastic surgery, and that is the best she can do? Bah.

Sit through Johnny Dangerously (described at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087507/) to witness that butchery of profanity, along with several others, courtesy of Roman Moronie.

If you oust the original founders of the company, it's almost always a death sentence.

Sometimes literally.

And here I thought I was going to learn how I might have a shot at Kate Beckinsale or Lucy Liu, but instead it's only some lame story about astronomy. Thanks for getting my hopes up once again slashdot!!!

sheesh!

Council (514577): Perhaps, somehow, Natalie Portman is a matter of national security.


According to IMDB:
(September 2004) She is presently studying at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.


Uh oh...

I wonder if Professor Simon Baron-Cohen is in any way related to Sacha Baron-Cohen ?

Hasn't anybody here ever heard of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command? It was released on video, but spawned a pretty clever animated TV show that ran for 60 episodes or so. Not Pixar, but it was Disney.

I'd rather go with The Manchurian Candidate (1962) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0056218/).

he is also cousin of director Ashley Baron-Cohen

When I saw another picture of Mitnick, I first thought he looked a lot more like Tom Selleck from Magnum Pi: http://www.imdb.com/gallery/scrapbook/30/Sbk/30/al lanandtomselleck.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Sellec k,%20Tom

alas, I didnt have my glasses at hand.

I remember watching documentary called Phenomenon: The Lost Archives about how from Florida to south of texas would be underwater, california gone too. And yes, a huge world population drop between now and 2050. At the time it seemed like the ramblings of a crack head but to day it is very plausible.

Therefore forget the instant freeze of "The day after tomorrow" and prepare for the instant flood.

Companies have only one goal:get rich quick.
Nobody would build a hybrid with a 120V socket capable to drive power tools and a microwave. That's because it would kill some of the same company's other business: Portable generators, regular cars, trucks and SUVs. (Not to mention the housing business since you could live in your car in style!)
You won't see a solar rechargeable Cell phone/MP3/Flashlight/am~fm radio/garage door openner/Car key for at least 40 years. Why? because it would kill the disposable battery business. (BTW: did you know that a AA has more juice than a C or D cell! look at the specs on the rechargeables.)

It's all about creating waste to for us to consume more to drive profits.
Were all gonna drown for these assholes' profits.

I was in Futureshop here in Toronto the other day...came face to face with an advertisement for "Bambi 2"... BAMBI 2??!?!? They're making a sequel to a 50 year old movie for crying out loud...

So... is this set before or after 'Bambi meets Godzilla' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064064/

You're erroneously presupposing I was looking into the mirror as I said it. Perhaps you've not seen Batman Begins:

game set match. i guess you could walk across America without being tracked -- if you disable the gps in your cell phone.

thats a big fat false. your cell phone is always "pinging" any cell station in its vicinity so it knows where to jump next. generally your phone trys to stay aware of 2-3 cell stations at any given time due to the nature of the protocol. the base stations can and probably do record this information. this is why police can zero in on a cell phone even if gps is turned off and is on Analog Only mode.

i think gps is just a clever psuedo-title for cell phone providers to legally store the information without violating your privacy contract (any cell phone developers or insiders wishing to correct me, please feel free).

your best bet is to get a disposable cell phone (prepaid) and dump it after a few minutes of use (not long enough to record a trail to determine the direction you are moving). of course if you don't give any kind of identifying information on the call, you could probably hold onto the phone and save it for future use. be wary because the person you are calling or is calling you, could be traced back to you through his or her past.

as long as you fit in with the local towns you cross, you should feel pretty safe from random id checks. it's sad to realize that Minority Report style evasion tactics are being learned and mastered now to truely create an underground population similiar to those in Demolition Man. at the rate this is going, i wouldn't be surprised if the US had very strict law enforcement policy in 100 years. law abiding citizens would be happy. those who like to indulge in safe yet illegal activities will have to find a way to dodge the strict american regime. i think this is a computer game in the making....

I thought they already made Toy Story 3: Monster Edition? Followed by Toy Story 4 Underwater, and Toy Story 5 Supertoys.

(This joke shamelessly stolen from The Daily Show).

Your story breaks down upon examination of the photo. That girl is ok at best. I'd probably need to be in space at least three weeks before she became a "hot bitch". And how can wives of astronauts go "on strike" anyways? Don't you need to be employed before you can go on strike?

As for the astronaut wives, they are "employed" by their husbands to do the cooking, cleaning, laundry...

Police Academy 7? I think you meant it as a joke, but it's happening, according to IMDB!

http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0418068/

This one has Steven Guttenberg.

And George Gaynes? He's 89 years old! I doubt he'd be a police commissioner/commandant/whatever.
Uhh, I liked the first two, 3 and 4 were OK to watch when nothing else was on, but 5 and 6 I watched out of sheer morbid curiousity. Now they're producing a seventh? Well I might go see it as a lark. It's bound to be better than most movies have been lately.

there's not much chance of making a good sequel to "Beauty & the Beast" or "The Little Mermaid."

Uh, although a direct to video release, the sequel to The Little Mermaid came out a few years ago. And as for Beauty & the Beast, there kinda-sorta was a sequel (more of an "untold tale" than a sequel, it took place in the first movie's timeline, but was never shown).

Both movies were so-so at best and I guess there's a Little Mermaid III in the works (but unless it's good, I hope it gets axed).

"Remarkably bland"?

So Brad Bird's (well-deserved, IMO) Best Original Screenplay nomination doesn't mean anything, then?

I guess the one true complaint, at least in Disney's case, is that they've seemed to be so busy milking old franchises that they haven't bothered to create any new ones.

While I tend to agree with you, as in I just do not watch tne sequels of classic's. I as well disagree in the fact that they have not tried to make new franchises. The problems with the new franchises they are creating are that they are driven from a business/marketing point of view, which the resulting outcome is awful at best.

They are pretty bad, but I am not sure they are the worst Hollywood house to make single films into pointless sequel franchises, Police Academy 7 anyone? And I was shocked when I heard that this - http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0342108/combined even existed (I wasn't aware of the 3rd and 4th).
The truth is that making sequels is one of the best ways for a studio to make money. You dont have to make a good film the second time round, people will watch it anyway because they enjoyed the first film.
Art it is not, but the games industry is far worse for this.

Tracing the linage of memes is tricky business. My guess would be one part Dudley 'Booger' Dawson played by Curtis Armstrong in Revenge of the Nerds, and one part derived from the archetypal nerd, R.M. Stallman. IIRC RMS use to partake in folk dancing, but injured an ankle, had to quit dancing and acquired a paunch, where RMS is concerned the hairy part is apparent.

Best guess on my part.

For example, they just released Bambi 2 direct to video! "Plot Outline: Bambi's austere father raises him after his mother is killed by hunters, teaching the fawn how to survive in the wild."
