Re:Please Say It Ain't So
no, what he did was pretty revolutionary. Remember, the year before Star Wars: A New Hope came out, the move that won the academy award for special effects was Logan's Freaking Run. Farrah Faucet is fun to watch and all, but Logan's Run to Star Wars in one year seems pretty revolutionary. (btw, I got a copy of Logan's Run for my 30th birthday from a friend of mine, that sick fsck)

Titanic in Space
There's no way this would get accepted as a submission so I'm posting it here:
From the imdb.com:
George Lucas has described his final Star Wars movie, Episode III -- The Revenge of the Sith, as "Titanic in space." Speaking to the ShoWest convention in Las Vegas, Lucas said that the new film was "not like the old Star Wars
... This one's a little bit more emotional." Later, Lucas was asked by the Associated Press whether fans would accept a film so different from the old Star Wars. "I feel that I've made the movie the best I can and it turned out the way I wanted it to be, so I'm happy," Lucas replied. "I never try to anticipate what the world's going to think or even worry about whether they're going to like it or not. That's not my job, to make people like my movies. They either like them or they don't. That's completely out of my hands." -
Sounds like Mantrid

Re:Green Lantern
I've thought about this myself, and I think Richard Burgi (picture) would be perfect. He's an excellent actor, and his personality fits naturally into the superhero role.

Re:Possible ActressesFive years ago I'd have said Zeta-Jones, but they're going to need someone younger to sell this.
You need tall, voluptuous and athletic ("She's built like an AMAZON"...); of the Buffy babes, that's pretty much Charisma Carpenter, but she'd need to hit the gym and get more muscular. Dushku seems too short, Gellar's too petite period. Morena Baccarin from Firefly has the looks, but I don't think she's that tall either.
There's bound to be some relative unknown out there that fits the bill, and would end up typecast as WW the rest of her career. Of course, typecasting as a superhero didn't hurt Christopher Reeve (RIP).

Re:Dang It!Yea, it's legal, but is ain't a hundred percent legal. I mean you can't walk into an internet cafe, boot your laptop, and start downloadin' away. You're only supposed to download in your home or certain designated places.
It breaks down like this: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it and, if you're the proprietor of the CD, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry it, which doesn't really matter 'cause -- get a load of this -- if the cops stop you, it's illegal for them to search you. Searching you is a right that the cops in America don't have.

Re:The WHAT scene?
It's true, everyone calls their scene "the scene".
Since the late 80s / early 90s, underground electronic music, clubbing, and party people have called their scene "the scene", with the participants sometimes being called "scenesters" (not necessarily a positive term). For movie references, see 24 Hour Party People, Human Traffic, and Party Monster. -

Of course I want to know. I want to start saving up money, doing favors, as much as possible so people will take care of me once the damage hits. The longer I can stay alive, the better chance I'll have to be around when there's any kind of treatment. And maybe I'll have enough time to write down everything I need to remember to get through the "rough spot".

Re:Please name the employer...
You should have stayed for the technical interview, blown them away with your skills and experience, and then mention on your way out that you would not be interested in working for them unless you were exempt from two clauses in their employment contract.
At best, they might have found you to be the absolute Rock Star they needed for a project, and pressured the powers that let it slide. More likely, they would publicly express their displeasure at losing a great candidate over an asinine clause. If it happened enough, the company might eventually be more flexible.
Granted, you'd have a better chance of any of that happening at a place less monolithic than EDS.
Of course, back in the hiring frenzy of the late 90s, you probably could have demanded that and a football helmet full of cottage cheese as well. -

GNAA SECOND POSTGNAA announces victory over the state of Georgia
GNAA announces victory over the state of GeorgiaAtlanta, GA (GNAAP)
-GuyNiguereGNAA members were able to breathe a sigh of relief as fellow nigger Brian Nichols came home after a lengthy ordeal. He was charged with rape which is a common southern tactic to eradicate our kind. While on trial in an Atlanta courtroom and bravely liberated himself to make a run for the GNAA worldwide headquarters on the Niger River, during the struggle he overcame the repression of a police officer, a half-Jewish judge, and a full jew reporter. He then stole a green Honda Accord and was last reported waving his thick-veiny nigger cock in the direction of the courthouse and screaming "lol Jews" repeatedly.
I contacted the GNAA legal department and was immediately told by legal council chairman g0sp-hell "(Mr. Nichols) did the right thing, it is against our laws to stand trial for any crimes committed by members in any other venue but ours, in addition Mr. Nichols has admitted to having sex with a female creature which will be punished by forcing him to sit through a slide-show of Latvian internet art. His actions, however, are not tantamount to rape as he did yell "surprise" before penetration."
I have been told by anonymous sources within the GNAA that Mr. Nichols is recovering from his sentence and has been put to work manually crapflooding suicide notes on livejournal.com.
White media story can be found here: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050311/D88OT3J00

Despite being a sprawling metropolis and spawning one of the largest media conglomerates the world has seen Atlanta, GA is still just an airport hub and still discourages niggery in all its forms.
About livejournal.com:
livejournal allows homosexuals and emo kids the freedom to post douchebag ramblings for other douchebags to enjoy. It is actually one of the original blog sites that have given birth to the disgusting journalism trend towards second-hand rants being considered valid news sources.

Living in Region 4
The devices override copy control mechanisms Sony builds into its consoles to block the use of pirated games and DVDs encoded for players built to operate in other regions.
For a while I've been building up a list of movies I want to show my girlfriend but that I can never seem to find in the local video shop. Yesterday I did a check, and surprise surprise, almost none of them are available as Region 4 disks. Of course these are obscure titles like Top Hat and The Impostors.
So if I had a PS2, Sony would want to tell me what I could watch or not. Good luck to them. Why on earth governments in Region 4 agreed to this crap in the first place is beyond me, but it would help if they don't enforce these rules.

Re:This is nothing new...
If you watch the documentary, Devil's Playground they answer this question specifically. It's not technology they are against, it's the way technology affects their culture. For example, a telephone isn't bad in itself but it takes away from time spent with the family or working. In an emergency, they use them.
The documentary is mostly about Amish kids when they go on their "rumspringa," but I learned a ton about the Amish in general.

Re:Where's Mel Brooks?The movie is called "History of the World: Part 1" not "Part 2", but you're right, despite the "part" in the title there is no second part.
I don't think Mel Brook should make a part two of either movie. "Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money" worked well as a joke and "History of the World: Part 1" works well as a statement about sequels. But neither would make a good sequel. Sequels never meet expectations and are mostly about "the search for more money."

Re:That's some catch, that catch-22Except that PATRIOT sections 505 (overturned) and 215 (still valid), et al, include gag rules:

In plain English, this means that if the FBI raids your info, you are not allowed to talk about it to anyone else, much less file a public complaint.

GNAA FP!GNAA Announces Victory over AOL
Monday, May 17 2004, GNAA, Nigeria"Who is the Greatest Man Alive?" - If you ask Gary Niger, he'll tell you it is most definitely Osama Bin Laden.
The Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA) announced today further victory in their current program to bring about total breakdown of the AOL customer relation system.
AOL Corporate Policy has been changed after GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) special operative Gary Niger's constant abuse of their "secret question" program designed to provide a futile illusion of security for the mongoloids and sodomites that comprise their customer base.
The "custom question" option, allowing users to create their own question, has been removed following the efforts of Niger and other fearsome Gay Niggers from the GNAA's top secret "Black Ops" divison.
With the removal of this option, trolls are now forced to use pre-approved AOL "secret question" options when signing up for fraudlent accounts for the purpose of downloading gay pornography and meeting up with the clandestine "homo thug" underground.
"I don't know why it changed, exactly. Corporate HQ didn't tell us," said Tracy, an AOL representative. "It happened two or three days ago."
Tracy was unavailable for further comment, as she was masturbating furiously under her desk - claiming that "Ten guys were on the phone and (she) had to take them all on."
An AOL executive, speaking under the condition of anonymnity, said the change in policy came after widespread employee unrest, culminating in an incident of mass sodomy taking place in the Ogden, Utah call center.
Gary Niger and other members of the GNAA "Black Ops" division continue to use the "custom question" trolling technique with various punjabis in the Bangalore, India call center - who haven't gotten the memo yet.
Meanwhile, GNAA Command is working on the creation of new methods of trolling to work within the confines of this new standard, still flush with victory.
Nick Berg's head was unavailable for comment at the time of this release.

Serkis
To be fair, Andy Serkis is slated to play Kong, meaning the big monster will probably be pulled off with a lot of skill and personality. If anyone can do it right, he can.
The other actors associated with the project, Jack Black (Tenatious D, and an underrated performance in The Jackal), Naomi Watts (The Ring, I Heart Huckabees), etc, are all totally underrated gems... The kinds of actors that you think would be able to come together in support of eachother and make something great.
King Kong deserves a good remake. The original story was essentially a quintessential animal human trapped and ostracised in a modern environment. But unlike certain other films which have been remade recently (Dawn of the Dead anyone?) that stop motion ape is falling apart. Having a real actor in a real modern remake that paid close attention to what made the original story so touching could be worth seeing. You and I may think the original 10 fps lump of clay and hair is cute, but the story can be told far, far better these days.
