What, no Destination Moon?!

That's not a particularly good thing; I like surprises, and can't believe that there aren't films worthy of inclusion which exist closer to the periphery of film. I'm thinking of Videodrome in particular.

Overlooked Mnemonic? No.

Johnny-Five, yes. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091949/
With lines like, "Hey Laserlips. Your mama was a snowblower.", how could such an epic sci-fi film be overlooked?

So a plotless movie like Koyaanisqatsi can not be a good movie?
I think your appreciation of cinema is far too constrained by the mainstream.

Battlefield Earth

Before its release, some of Scientology's critics suggested that Battlefield Earth would be filled with subliminal messages in an attempt to recruit or brainwash viewers. They needn't worry: Outside of marching on Washington in Nazi uniforms while burning crosses and clubbing baby seals, it's hard to think of a worse way to recruit converts than to subject them to this surreal atrocity, an adaptation of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's 1982 novel. A film too staggeringly inept to be believed, Battlefield Earth is a contender for the worst movie of any year, decade, or century. The film tells the story of devolved future humans who live in what appears to be a Molly Hatchet album cover and do battle with a group of evil alien "Psychlos" who resemble giant Rastafarian werewolves. Clueless enough to make last year's crazy science-fiction turkey Wing Commander look like Solaris and 2001 rolled into one big luminescent ball, Battlefield Earth is written with all the skill and subtlety of a Flash Gordon serial and plotted with the cruel, hard logic of a Lyndon LaRouche presidential campaign. But at least it's uniquely terrible: A good deal of its screen time is devoted to "man animals" and their supposed preference for eating raw rats, which may be a canny bit of psychology on the filmmakers' part. After all, eating raw rodents is one of the few activities that sound less appealing than watching Battlefield Earth. Producer and star John Travolta's cackling, embarrassing performance as the film's nine-foot-tall heavy is bad enough to negate the last 25 years of his career: Travolta may be a gifted actor and a movie star in the classic sense of the term, but from now on, he will be seen not as the charismatic star of Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction, but as John "Battlefield Earth" Travolta, the perpetrator of a film that will go down in history alongside Howard The Duck and Heaven's Gate as shorthand for Hollywood at its out-of-control worst. Not so much watched as lived through, Battlefield Earth is bad enough to make audiences ashamed to be part of the same species as the people who made it. --Nathan Rabin

Gattaca is a great one about DNA manipulation that is a little too close to reality for comfort. A great movie!

Despite the awkward ending due to the death of Natalie Wood, Brainstorm (1983) is a pretty good sci fi film.
Very underappreciated.

No Battllefield Earth?

No, movies are still good. I could name about 100 that have come out in the past 15 years that are spectacular. As shorthand, please note that 20 of IMDB's Top 50 Movies are from 1990 or more recent. I'm not saying all those are masterpieces, but they're damn good.

The issue, if you'll let me troll for a paragraph or so, is that you're old and/or not interested in researching truly good films being made now. The quality of films right now, I'd say, is probably better than before, certainly not worse. For every Empire Strikes Back there were five American Ninja movies. It's just that, over time, we forget bad movies. I mean, who remembers movies like Fklesh & Blood? But we remember Sunset Blvd.. In 15 years no one will remember Avp. Just give it time. All the good stuff will rise to the surface.

You should read the comment on the IMDB site. He sums it up very well. It's not as much the quality, as it is the complete campiness and cult following it's gained because of the directors methods. Please keep in mind the original rating was R, but was re-rated NC-17 in the early 90s.

Also, if anyone hasn't heard of a decent NC-17 movie since Showgirls...

I've heard good things about Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers, though I haven't seen it myself yet. For what it's worth, Ebert & Roeper both gave it two thumbs up.

I agree completely. What's happening with modern films is the studios' response to the enforcement of the R rating.

On a side note, Rules of Attraction is the only decent drama I've seen on this side of the century. If anyone knows of any other recent thought provoking films, please post them.

Thanks for the pointers. Apparently Tom Jobim did the sound track for Orfeo Negro. Excellent. I'll get me to the library posthaste. They've got the Criterion Edition ("previously unseen footage!").

I'm not usually drawn to "dance movies", though I did enjoy Shall we dance? (of which, I just saw, a "white people's" version is in the works), but the music angle is enticing enough.

According to IMDB the quote is "Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter... 's wedding... on the day of your daughter's wedding." which is how I remember it.

Unless you are quoting his mutterings on the porch.

Here's something I have yet seen mentioned: What about law enforcement? Unless the cops have these, I don't see how they'll let the general population drive them. It'll be pretty difficult for a cop in a standard cruiser to pull you over if you can just lift off and escape him. Even with radios and helicopters, by the time they can dispatch a chopper, you could be outta there.

Does anyone recall those IBM e-solutions ads that ran a few years ago? Many of them featured a forceful and decisive Avery Brooks http://imdb.com/name/nm0000984/preaching on what-really-matters in IT.

One such ad spot opened with him angrily demanding: "Where are my flying cars?!?". Avery Brooks was clearly upset that this great promise of the future had not yet been delivered. His fury gradually subsides as he comes to the revelation that we have something better: the internet. True advancement, says Avery Brooks and IBM, is not in the flash and frill of flying cars, but rather in substantive internet technologies: the ability to move, replicate and share data instantly.

So the question posed: If you could live in a world with flying cars or (exclusive) the internet, which would you choose? Why?

to the term "car crash". Airplane, anyone?

For the clueless ones who modded the parent "overrated," the parent is quoting Agent K from Men in Black.

It's also Mexican soap star Thalia's birthday, as well as Branford Marsalis and was the birthday of Mother Theresa, as well.

I just remind myself of that when trying to erase the stigma of sharing a birthday with Macaulay...

Anyhow, you missed Home Alone IV, which was straight-to-TV drivel. It also didn't star MacCaulay.

~ the cost of making a movie is astronomically higher now than it was in the 1980's ~.

The issue is the fact that the movie companies ("Suits") are extremely risk-adverse these days; they want a guaranteed hit. To do this, they go with a familiar story (remake of some old chestnut, or a action/hot babe thriller) and lots of star power. The latter thought is based upon the assumption that people will want to go see their favorite star in a poorly-written story, rather than a cast of unknowns with a well-written script.

The cost of the stars and the cost of overhead, of continuously tweaking a good story until it is a tired, retread POC, is what drives the cost up.

Some of your best bargins are the so-called "minority" films. The studios generally pay much less for a "Mexican" or "Black" flick, even though the writing is generally of good quality, as in "Mi Vida Loca" or "Soul Food."

Task two - get marketing in there and come up with a better acromyn, because CHUD's is already taken.

Chicago, IL - The GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) announces their forcible entry into the Soulseek filesharing network. This action was tasked to faggot tar baby Lysol, who created the GNAA's first slsk chatroom.

This development is expected to make thousands of gay nigger converts as nigger-seed-virus laced mp3s and FLACs are injected into rooms Underground Hip-Hop and Jazz (Full CDs), among others.

GNAA member Lysol commented, "With our new slsk chatroom GNAA we will be able to spread our holy nigger seed to copyright violating music pirates the world over!". He then proceeded to fuck Jazz (Full CDs) founder Lamig with his massive nigger dong, making her the third human female (after the Olsen twins) to be impregnated with the holy gay nigger seed.

Already, signs of niggerdom are spreading. Last Measure is being distributed on the network by persons not directly known to the ghey darkies.

GNAA software development branch have created trollseek, which is a Microsoft Windows-only proxy server, which connects to SoulSeek network, and translates SoulSeek protocol into RFC1459. This allows connecting to SoulSeek network using an irc client such as mIRC. Development of this software greatly improved GNAA's ability to troll Soulseek chatrooms.

"We got trouble! Trouble in River City! Trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for Pool!"

No. Based on what I've heard, I do hope to get to that and Snow Crash sometime. I also liked "In the Beginning was the Command Line".

(It's not like I hate the guy personally :-) I just don't like where he is going. I feel the same about Michael Crichton; early stuff is cool, but later works come off too much like movie novelizations. Actually they aren't too bad, I'd just rather see the movie itself. :-) Hmmm... nope, nothing yet... I'm sure it is just a matter of time.)

And of course, that wonderful, non-fluorinated water, which must do SUCH a superb job of preventing cavities in people's dentals.

Fool, everyone knows that flourination of the water supply is a damn commie plot to make us all impotent! We must defend our Purity of Essense!

Note to moderators: this post is on-topic, because (a) I reference the former Soviet Union, and (b) Dr Strangelove was modelled on Edward Teller, who led the development of the Hydrogen bomb.

All Western music is 'ripped off' in that it's all intrinsically based on a set of 12 notes.

However, it is the way these notes are permuted and increased/decreased in pitch that makes music what it is.

Music composing is a lot like writing....

One takes the notes/letters and string them into motives/words. Put a few motives/words together in a noteworthy way and get a leitmotif/phrase. Mix all this stuff up in an interesting way and you can get a complete, extraordinary music score for a set of scenes in a movie like Adventures On Earth from
E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) by John Towner Williams (1932 -- ) which I am listening to as I type this.

On a related note, If Episodes 7-9 are made, they'll have to shoot them like Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy if there is the remote(?) chance that Williams will still be alive to score them as he has the past 5(soon to be 6?) STAR WARS films. I've heard it said that 'Williams is a hack, etc, etc'. If that is the case, why is he (still?) the most sought after film music composer on the face of this earth? Added to that, look at the longevity of his first *GREAT* (most popular at the time) melody: the sharkmotif from Jaws (1975). Used in three sequels (1978, 1983, 1987), it is still in use today as it is used in (the trailer for) Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)

Should he 'pass on', perhaps the producers will give Jason Graves a chance to 'finish up' as he can and has composed in the Williams style with his Sinister March

Hans, thank you. Thank you for all of the hard work and dedication to giving OSS/Free Software a better filesystem.

You are "one bad motherfucker". Keep up the good work. Are there any plans to bring Reiser4 to the 2.4.* kernel?

Earlier this evening, the GNAA Internet Infantry Regiment finished a final clean-up of AIMGIRL territory.

The website had previously been the victim of a vicious Gay Nigger attack, featuring recent initiate Tar-Baby as an "unwed teen mother" black operative and Gay gunner Relex blasting the underage emo bitches with suppressive Goatse fire support, as well as with his own nigger seed. The strike was reputedly a thorough rout of the aimgirl enemy, as all forums are currently disabled, and new registrations have been suspended on the website.

Among the many casualties are several entire threads, scuttled by desperate Aimgirl admins as they attempted to ward off the inevitable defeat at the hands and dongs of the GNAA. A Reuters press report regarding the incident can be found here.

Today, the Gay Nigger Infantry executed a daring raid on the aimgirl chatroom, effectively destroying the last stronghold of the young white bitches. In a statement released by Commanding Officer x_over_ln_x, he remarked that "For too long, these little white whores have been tempting our yet-to-be saved heterosexual brothers. We could not allow the jailbait to continue their reign of pre-teen buggery, as their victims have little to no chance of Gay Salvation". At the end of the attack, the once 42-user-strong chatroom was held by one squad of Gay Niggers, who celebrated their victory by masturbating onto a plate of cookies and chanting "LOL DONGS".

Despite their impressive victory, the GNAA Internet Infantry Regiment (Part of the GNAA Ministry of Flood) will not be sitting on their laurels. At press time, Gay Nigger Scouts are said to be forward-deployed at known anti-nigger websites Gamingforums and Gardenweb. GIIR CO x_over_ln_x refused to confirm or deny such reports, preferring to shoot hot semen over our reporter.

Osaka, Japan - In a worldwide first, GNAA founder and president timecop agreed to conduct an interview with Real Troll Talk, a Slashdot member documenting the ways and means of internet trolls worldwide.

Although meant to be a one on one interview, several GNAA members were present in the audience, and many "contributed" to the interview by shouting out points that timecop forgot and by calling him an asshole. "The interview went well," timecop said afterward, "I was very pleased with the interest in GNAA and the exposure we'll be getting through this. Real Troll Talk seemed to have an unhealthy obsession with the sexual aspects of GNAA, though."

GNAA member godspeed noted that "The interview was really good, and I have a strong feeling that Real Troll Talk may be a homosexual black man himself. You could say my gaynigdar was set off by that dude." Opened to other GNAA members for comment, vSKIZZILE was quick to add "HAHA FGTS! You are all gay, LOL @ WTC LOL @ JEWS!!!!

On the morning of August 24, GNAA announced complete purchase of namesys.com, makers of well known commie filesystem for Lunix, named ReiserFS. This purchase comes as a surprise to most unwashed Lunix users, as NameSys just recently announced release of Version 4 of the ReiserFS filesystem.

Hans Reiser shaked hands with GNAA president timecop, who said, "Dear nerds, Sorry, but there's not a single Linux program that us Windows users are itching for. Not one. May I suggest putting your programming resources into improving those pieces of shit that currently make up the vast majority of Linux apps? Maybe one day, you too can have a decent web browser!"

What does this have anything to do with ReiserFS", asked confused Hans Reiser, who arrived to GNAA Headquarters in Gnaa, Nigeria from his hometown of Moscow, USSR. "Your excellent programming skills will be put to work on creating 100% non-failing slashdot captcha processing algorithms, so that we can register thousands of Gary Niger accounts in shortest time possible", replied timecop.

Hans Reiser was given immediate lifetime GNAA membership, and arrangements were made to move his office from Moscow to Gnaa, Nigeria as soon as time permits.

Financial details of this transaction were not disclosed, though it is rumored this purchase cost GNAA financial operations somewhere around $3.1337 million.

About Namesys:
The Naming System Venture (abbreviates as Namesys) is a commie software development shop located in underground facilities in Moscow, USSR. Their only product is ReiserFS filesystem, which is supposed to be a "high performance" filesystem for Lunix.

Fencing's Most Terrible Moment?

That would be when Madonna "acted" as James Bond's fencing instructor in Die Another Day

The parallels in ANH to Japanese cinema, especially "Hidden Fortress" and "Seven Samurai", are obvious, but that's not the only source of inspiration Lucas turned to. There's also a lot of imagery & themes taken from American Westerns, particularly John Ford's The Searchers.

The plot of ANH basically replicates this one, with the most obvious difference being that John Wayne's character has elements of both Luke Skywalker & Han Solo (but then, early drafts of ANH supposedly had these as one character as well). But then you've got the swaggering cowboy (Solo), a mute Indian sidekick (Chewbacca), a murdered family (the shot of Luke's burned out home is nearly identical to one in Searchers, down to the charred skeletons in the yard), etc.

ANH also has overtones of "The Magnificent Seven", but then that movie itself is a remake of "Seven Samurai", so it's debatable whether or not you can use that example.

It's interesting to note how both Lucas, and 20 years later, Tarantino, have played homage to both American westerns and Japanese sword movies, while recasting them as, respectively, camp sci-fi and camp crime dramas. I'm already wondering what the next grand cross-pollinator is going to come up with in another couple of decades :-)

So what does that make me?

Absolutely nothing.

Sorry, wrong movie. Thanks for playing!
