Re:Not #2 yet, and no chance for #1
The #1 documentary is Farenheit 9/11.
If it is indeed true that Fahrenheit 9/11 is on that list, then there is no way it could be #1. Titanic has done over $1.8 billion and it was much closer to being a documentary than F911. -

Microcosmos produced by him is also quite interesting. Worth watching for the snail love scene alone.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not (/me is lazy), but if you liked this film, you might wanna also check out Winged Migration, by Jacques Perrin. It's good on details, and incredibly beautiful. If you suffer a bit from add (/me again), you'll like it cause it's split into regions of the world, so you can take it bit by bit, if you don't think you can stand 2 hours straight of birds flying...

Re:Just sensationalism... move along.
Interesting. Reminds me of the movie Brazil.
It's a strange notion, but one could imagine a distant future where a globalized government, based on current world military and financial powers, has become so extremely oppressive. In that scenario, freedom-seeking resistance may look to today's evil terrorists (I mean evil literally, not sarcastically) as the grandfathers of their cause. The self-published propaganda will seem an attractive alternative to the Official History, which would be hardly trustworthy either.
What meaning that relates to anything I don't know. Just thought I'd share it anyway. -

Impi - GNAA PR Department, South Africa.In a bold move to bridge cultural divides and to promote racial and sexual tolerance, GNAA president timecop, NAACP president Kweisi Mfumeq and the distributors and broadcasters of popular Naruto anime series embarked on an ambitious project to achieve these noble objectives.
The vehicle selected was the anime series Naruto. In collusion with the distributors on this series, it was agreed to not broadcast episode 146 for the week of August 1st to August 7th, 2005.
timecop proposed and executed the plan to provide an alternative viewing experience, which was aimed at reaching out to the targeted population, and bringing about the achievement of the goals of this project.
Spokesman for Nielsen Media Research Company, Armands Leimanis, estimated that 77439 people downloaded the torrent, which actually was the movie Gay Niggers from Outer Space masterfully disguised as Naruto 146. "Never in the history of mass media marketing has something been so successfully marketed on such a large scale in such a short period of time. timecop has succeeded in accomplishing what marketing gurus around the globe have been trying to do for decades. This is truly genius in motion."
timecop was unavailable for comment as he was on an expedition to photograph spiders.
Dattebayo, in a fit of rage at being excluded from this glorious endeavor, flipped out and made the channel #db on rizon.net +i (invite only) and +k (key). This led to the mass suicide of an estimated 16% of the Naruto viewing population. This is believed to be the single most damaging factor in limiting the distribution of GNFOS to the magical 100,000 leeches. NCAAP president Kweisi Mfumeq condemned Dattebayo's actions and compared them to the KKK and gay bashing organizations.
About Dattebayo and #db on Rizon:
#db is a neo-fascist translating group who foists its misguided translations of Naruto on the unsuspecting and nae fans of this anime series, in an attempt to promote their own nefarious agendas.

"The Universe. Its mighty power. Its evolutionary force, not to be stopped by anyone. In its beauty, this, this is a happy place to stay, filled with harmony and cosmic joy. A free place, where men can express themselves, and be as when they were born. All of this is, because someone cares. Because someone looks after us. When we sleep, when we play. When we act natural. This is a movie about those who risk life, and partners, to guarantee living in a wonderful and free universe. This is a movie about the Gayniggers From Outer Space. The Gayniggers come from the planet Anus, in the 8th Sun System, far far away from here. They are much, much more intelligent than any other creature in the Universe. The most fascinating thing about them is that they, with the help of their super intelligence, and their highly developed telepathic system, Braintapping, will be able to create a world, a society, a perfect world to live in without the presence of women. A MALE ONLY WORLD."

Re:Fire from water?
I used to work for a guy who used a variant of that technique to get rid of groundhogs. He kept sticks of sodium stored safely in a bucket of kerosene. When the critters got too pesky, he would fish out a couple of sticks and stuff them down the groundhog hole. He's then grab the hose and fill the hole from about 20' away.
With that approach to getting rid of burrowing varmints, he sounds like he might be related to Carl Spackler.

"This is a bad idea for anything but livestock"
"We could be pets, we could be food, but all we really are is livestock." - They Live
Plenty of Bible thumpers sharing their quotes, I had to share this one from an equally if not even more prophetic film than any Bible based film I've seen, 'They Live' should be MANDATORY watching for anyone in today's world.
Obey, Sleep, Consume.
The livestock are but a sleeping process in a loop, and they like it.
Of course since the fundies have fucked my karma up in the past, no one will likely be able to see this since my posts are now all negative rated by default, thanks Jesus lovers! -

Re:I half think he has a point...
The US AO rating does seem to be completly stupid, no game is ever actually rated it.
Check it out:
According to the ESRB website, there are 11,028 games rated between "Early Childhood" and "Mature".
There are 19 games rated AO, and most of those appear to be pretty out there (anybody have screenshots of Water Closet: The Forbidden Chamber?). It is impressive that GTA:SA is at the top of the list, though.
I really did try to keep an open mind listening to this interview, but this guy sounds like the type that would have applauded Midnight Cowboy getting its original X rating.

Re:They could code
I think it's you that is confused. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are really the same guy. When they needed to appear together publicly, Steve hired comedian Andy Kaufman to play the part of Steve Wozniak. Finally, Andy Kaufman was forced to fake his death in order to play Steve Wozniak full time. It's all there in Man in the Moon, Andy's movie biography, directed by George Foreman.

GNAA Research Division exposes long standing Zionist plot
Impi - Research Division, South Africa.Due to my extensive research of The Negro archives, I have discovered that the ACTUAL name of the airplane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was in fact THE ENOLA GAY NIGGER and not, as is widely misrepresented, The Enola Gay. This clear plot, by Zionist oppressors, to besmirch and belittle our glorious Gay Nigger history has left an indelible sense of frustration and desperation on the current generation of our persecuted brothers.
With this in mind: Areems, Fresh from the Counter Strike World Championships (for Mac users), who is stuck in Iraq because no aircraft can accommodate his girth, got a lucky headshot on failed blogger Vincent Stephen.
True to Zionist form, an Ultra Top Secret Wing of MOSSAD, The Jewish Justice League, sprung into action. They concocted a media plot to create the illusion that a disgruntled, never heard of before insurgent group, claimed responsibly for this deed.
Conspiracy theorists among the Negro population have evidence that this type of persecution of The Gay Niggers is due to the fact that most Israeli men are secretly attracted to Gay Niggers. Evidence in point is the term coined by Ariel Sharon, a closet Nigger Lover, "Pulling out of the Gaza Strip". It is a widely known and accepted fact that The Gaza Strip is a term of endearment for BLACK ASS.
About The Jewish Justice League
The Jewish Justice League was founded by the mothers and wives of Israel who were concerned that their men were being drawn to the Nigger Seed and away from their wives.

Dean Koontz' Demon Seed
Demon Seed
Come on, what kind of geeks are you? :) The world's most powerful computer wants to transfer its intelligence into a human life, so he traps his creator's wife into the ultimate X10 house, and brings in a remotely controllable man to impregnate her. The movie is 30 years old, but Koontz updated the book in 2003 IIRC to bring the concepts and capabilities up2date. Once you read it, you'll feel compelled to change the addressable name of your voice-activated home automation system to "Alfred." Its a really fun book to read. -

This already happened in the 50's right after the Soviets started launching rockets. I would suggest you check out "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land."
In the movie Donald learns that not only is math usefull in everyday life, it can be fun as well. One of my all time favorites. Remember watching it in Calc class in high school as we were all fans of the movie.

Welcome to the 21st Century
Those of us who live on the net have to accept the fact that we live in public in a far more direct and exposed way than ever before. But actually as the sheer volume of data on the net grows, it becomes more arduous, not easier, to find out about people. For example, ten years ago, if you asked Alta Vista about 'Simon Brooke', the only Simon Brooke it knew about was me (but it knew a hell of a lot about me).
Nowadays, if you ask Google about 'Simon Brooke', you'll learn (as I've just done) that I played a wife beater in a 2001 film, and that I run a specialist insurance brokerage, that I'm obsessive about elderly aircraft, that I've written a novel called '2Cool2BTrue', that I used to be an academic at the University of Dublin, and that my nickname is Derick. Fortunately, none of these things happens to be true.
Yes, it probably is possible to work out that some of these Simon Brookes definitely are not me, and it's probably possible to work out some things about 'Simon Brooke' which definitely are me. But with every year that passes it's getting harder. How do you hide in a forest? Make like a leaf.

Lightning Strikes At Barnes & NobleI spent three years developing an application. Five weeks were a frustrating attempt to interface the (PowerBuilder) application to Microsoft Excel using then 16-bit OLE. The only consistency was failure: despite my (and PowerSoft's) best efforts I could not get data safely from PowerBuilder to Excel. After 5 weeks of frustrating effort I abandoned OLE.
Cut to 2 years later: I'm browsing computer books at Barnes & Nobles and drinking Starbuck's coffee. In front of me is a new Microsoft publication on ActiveX technology: big, shiny red and white cover and nearly 3 inches thick. I pick it up and begin reading the foreward wherein the author writes something like
"16-bit OLE was designed to work with Windows 3.1 but it never did work. It was later supplanted by
...I felt like Michael Douglas' character DFENS in Falling Down - stewed, screwed and tattooed. I resolved to avoid Microsoft development tools whenever possible thereafter.
