Obligatory Spaceballs reference goes here...

Many people are surprised to discover that Christ was a black man, but when one looks at Christ's lineage one discovers that He has numerous Hamatic Ancestors, with Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Naomi, Bathsheba and Jezabel being the most notable.

Here are the facts:

• In ancient times, including Jesus' time, the Arabian peninsula was considered part of what we now call Africa, not "the Near East" or "the Middle East".
• Christianity is frequently portrayed as "the White Man's religion". The truth is that most of the people in the Bible were people of color (i.e., not "Anglo"): Semitics, blacks, and Mediterranean, e.g., Romans.
• In the United States today the general view on whether someone is "black" is the One-Drop Rule -- if a person has any black ancestors s/he is considered "black", even with a clearly Anglo skin color, e.g., Mariah Carry, Vanessa L. Williams, LaToya Jackson.
• Jesus' male ancestors trace a line from Shem. However, ethnically and racially, they were mixed Semitic and Hamitic from the times spent in captivity in Egypt and Babylon. Rahab and probably Tamar were Canaanites. Although Canaanites spoke a Semitic language, they were descendants of Ham through his son Canaan. Bethsheba, who had been the wife of Uriah the Hittite, probably was a Hamitic (black) Hittite herself.

How about: Casablanca: The TV Series. Yes, I'm sorry I am bringing this to you attention but it must be known.

Hollywood is run by people who couldn't pass the ethics test required to become personal injury lawyers.

Too Late, they've remade Casablanca (horribly) before.

At least it killed off her movie career, thankfully...

I was thinking that he looks more like Alex in A Clockwork Orange

Funny story, but untrue - the movie was actually shot in Germany, see IMDB. In fact many of the Oompa Loompa's didn't even speak English.

You forgot alice in wonderland http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6304 012462/103-6667210-7987049?v=glance

It's been done to death http://www.imdb.com/find?q=alice%20in%20wonderland ;tt=on;nm=on;mx=20 Hmm... I wonder why IMDB doesn't list the movie from amazon.com

The original movie is the only movie credit listed for The Quaker Oats Company. It's surprisingly tripadelic for a product tie-in movie, though perhaps that's because Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers hadn't redefined the concept of TV/Movies as long-format commercial.

Can the new version top the original, and capture more of the book's dark side? I suspect so... the picture on the Yahoo! site looks more like A Clockwork Orange than Benji, and the trailer looks deliciously dangerous.

That has to be the number 1 druggy movie ever.

No, but you were close as Johnny Depp acted in that one... Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas although I thought the book was much better.

Nothing will ever be better than the Family Guy's Willy Wonka remake as Wasted Talent :)

I hope not. This is just like the technology designed to animate Richard Linklater's Waking Lives, except that it goes over CGI instead of film. Yawn.

Are we getting close, or are the problems insurmountable?

According to this documentary, we'll have fusion powering our homes and cars within 10 years.

Salo is supposed to be eaten with onions/pickles and vodka. Non-fried potatoes are horrible too :)

When you talk about something being horrible to eat named "salo," only one thing comes to mind...

Its been, what, 18 years? Where's Rudy's?
Hint: http://imdb.com/title/tt0091993/

So, in the poster in the picture of the clock, she's holding a gun. On IMDB, she's holding a gun. But on IMDB's poster link, her hands are open. What's up with that?

who had a House of Yes movie poster over my fireplace. Phew. (only on Slashdot..)

>>Gary Cole was also Midnight Caller and Sherrif Buck in American Gothic.

For jebus sake, Midnight Caller?!?!! Give us a real reference.
Gary Cole played Lumbergh in Office Space for crying out loud!

That's like saying Natalie Portman was in Where the Heart Is, but not mentioning Star Wars. (or hot grits).

Who the hell is Steven Beck and why is he being entrusted to direct a big-budget sci-fi film? If this movie sucks, something tells me it will suck because of this inexperienced dude.

Tommy Lee Jones, as Agent K, picks up a strange little disk (about 1" in diameter) and says with some distain, "These are going to replace CDs. Looks like I'm gonna have to buy The White Album again."

You see, Disney has this habit of withholding their products from the public. They're a little like an old rattlesnake, which will conserve it's precious venom for when it will be most useful: it will withhold it's venom until it wants to kill something.

Before Blockbuster Video squashed all the independent video rental shops, I was a clerk in one of those petite shops. Lots of VHS Disney titles were missing from the store, listed on the computer (a brand-new 486) as rented, and never returned. This was because Disney would only offer its titles (like "The Little Mermaid") for short periods of time, and after that time the only way a person could get that title would be to steal it in one way or another.

I won't pretend to have comprehensive knowledge of Disney's marketing voodoo, but it seems to me that Disney would like nothing better than a new video format, even though there may not be a good technical reason for it. They just want you to buy yet another copy of "The Little Mermaid" on yet another format. Blech.

Now, I'm more of a B5 fan than most people and I love the idea of the upcoming telepath war and all, but I don't think two hours of people opening their eyes real wide while giving a stern look to someone and having the other person fall over dead makes good movie watching.

That's because you've never seen the movie Scanners.

*cough* Scanners *cough*

"By the by, anybody else find Zathras to be the funniest time-travelling alien ever?"

Yes, sadly Tim Choate who brought the character to life on screen passed away 2 and a half months ago. :(

He will be missed.

"HBO (Home Body Odor) announced today it has agreed to screen John Waters' infamous film, Polyester, in Odorama. Viewers who wish to view, er, smell the picture in its original Odorama format will need to purchase the latest set-top box from MicroStink containing the latest https:// (HTTP that Stinks) extensions.
"

To clarify, I was thinking of the short film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125746/

Interesting... I'm going to kind of wander off topic here a little bit but I just had a thought.

I remember learning about Joseph McCarthy in school, and about all the fear and paranoia of communism and an imminent Soviet invasion, all that stuff in the 1950's. (As an aside, if you haven't seen it, go rent The Atomic Cafe, scary stuff) But looking back now, with certain key events, it is kind of understandable.

1949 Chinese communists win civil war in China
1949 Russia gets the A bomb
1951 Russia gets the H bomb (not exactly sure about the year here)
That with the Korean war, much like the war on terror today, it must have seemed that there were communists under every rock, with the government gladly fueling the fire.

Brainstorm. It was okay.

Remember Brainstorm starring Christopher Walken?

Didn't I see this in a movie or two?

"One of them leads to the castle, and the other one leads to -- " "Ba ba ba bum!" "Certain death!"

Cool, a Labyrinth reference.

There is an inherent assumption in your response. Your implications is that there is something broken that needs to be fixed, as in an ailment of some sort. What the previous post seemed to be saying, at least my interpretation, is that the effects ("symptoms") are not inherently bad in themselves. Water levels rising will probably cost humans money. But that's different from an ecological disaster?

This seems to be a problem with the "chicken little's" of global warming. They report predictions that are easily dismissed as "so what?". (Me playing devil's advocate here, not expressing my opinions.) So the water levels will rise, what's the harm beyond economic cost? The Earth's climate has changed since it first formed. It's gone through massive geological and climate changes (ice ages), natural disasters (volcanoes, asteroid hits), magnetic field inversions, etc., etc., without humans causing or "fixing", and yet life flourished and adapted. So, why should we panic over something like water levels rising. It's not like even the most extreme activist is predicting Waterworld or anything.

OK, so my personal opinions are not as "so what?" as that. But there is a valid point to these objections. The climate is not and has never been static. Is our goal to make it static and unchanging? Isn't that human intervention into the climate to suit our own purposes, and therefore just as "harmful" as causing climate change? How do we separate human causes from natural causes? Is there even a difference, since we are here naturally? It's not like there is a "correct" way the Earth is suppose to be with a set of requirements we're trying to meet.

These are all legitimate philosophical questions that aren't really being addressed. Monitoring and predicting through science is good, but I'm not sure what the right way to apply it is.

This is slightly modified quote from our beloved Office Space.

well, at least, IMDB.com says it will be space marines on phobos one moon of Mars... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419706/

The article did mention that the size would be comparable to a Milano cookie.

What kind of Milano cookie?

I remember seeing the same thing in The Omen.

he gained his C-level fame for winning at a difficult quiz show.
Unlike others who got their fame from losing 500lbs eating mediocre hoagies, singing so horribly everybody couldn't help but laugh, or crashing at the guest house of a murderous football player

How old is Mae West?

She's dead. But you're still welcome to come up and see her sometime.

Who was the last British heavyweight champion of the world?

Doesn't matter, the Irish still didn't recognize him.

How far is Winnipeg from Montreal?

It's too cold to tell now; ask again in summer.

When did Florence Nightingale die?

When her life ended.

What is the height of the Empire State Building? What was the date of General Gordon's death?

Is there a connection between the two?

What are the Thirty-Nine Steps? Come on! Answer up! What are the Thirty-Nine Steps?

Here ya go. Bring popcorn, it's great.

The FCC has nothing to do with South Park not saying Fuck. Their advertisers do. Comedy Central is not an "over the air" broadcast network, and as such, the FCC cannot tell them what not to say or fine them for indecency. In the "Shit Episode", they say Shit over 160 times (according to imdb). Comedy Central just made sure all their sponsors wouldn't bail, promised it was a "one time thing" to make a point, and ran the episode.

Comedy Central also shows Bigger, Longer and Uncut , well, uncut, on a regualr basis.

FCC /ONLY/ has authority over Broadcast Mediums, Network TV, Radio, etc. Their are those in Congress who are trying to change that. Stop them.

Smut filled? Where have you been watching TV? TV in the US is far too prudish already for anything like that! Have you not watched TV in other countries?

No kidding. I remember when the movie Aliens first aired on network television, they censored the word "bitch". (Among a lot of other words; for those who haven't seen it, the movie has fairly colorful dialogue.) I remember being startled later when they finally aired that movie with "bitch" in the clear. Now "bitch" is being censored again.

Awesome! Now I get to mention that the kid who says that line is none other than Elijah Wood.

It's like, When Harry Met Sally!

IBM: The first time we met, we hated each other.

Apple: No, you didn't hate me, I hated you. And the second time we met, you didn't even remember me.

IBM: I did too, I remembered you. The third time we met, we became friends.

Apple: We were friends for a long time.

IBM: And then we weren't.

Apple: And then we fell in love.

Speaking of Meg Ryan romantic comedies, in You've Got Mail, the bitter business rivalry was echoed in their choice of computers: Joe used an IBM, and Kathleen used a Mac.

I think you're getting Event Horizon confused with Sphere.

Event Horizon is the one about an experimental ship that warps into a hell dimension. Sphere is about a ship from the future that finds an salient artefact in space and then crash lands on Earth in the past.

Firt-person is nothing new. The reason nobody uses it is that it upsets the audience.

The lady of the lake(1947) pioneered it.
