if you imagine it as a Dirty Harry growl it kinda works... I mean, if you also imagine Clint Eastwood didn't sound like that all the time anyway...

Raging nihilism, intense, disturbing images, anarchy, mutilation, and you call foul if Batman drinks sprite? That's the line? I'm flabbergasted. By all means, I'm sure there's a million better things to do than to see a movie, go run in a park or something... but product placement? Really? Wow.
I think he was using the Batmobile specs as evidence that he had discovered the entire project, apparently Lucius Fox uses the same method for hiding the Batfiles that I use for pr0n:

So for all you people out there talking about how dark it was, and lordie it certainly was, (I haven't enjoyed a movie that much since young Alex went cavorting with his droogs, but I'm a twisted sort who's digressing) how about the fact that this movie and Indiana Jones had the same rating? Seriously, how completely misleading and worthless is a system that ranks those two levels of intensity as comparable?
Oh come on, you don't really believe people want MORE choices and freedom do you? The only time people are interested in the system is when it comes to restricting something or other.
So, you armchair libertarians and constitutionalists better make up your minds, cuz if you really believe what you speak then many of you need to learn a HELL of a lot about respecting other's beliefs. Respecting beliefs? I thought the whole idea was it'd be easier to force your ideas on a community than a nation... when did "listening" ever enter into it? lol
Ahahaha lets see those little rover-turned-roadrunner bastards survive this!
Oh man, if those little guys get a camera angle on the impact???
Sweeeeeeet.
You guys are all wrapped up in the legality and whatnot when the greater issue is right in front of you: Motherload, the comedy central content delivery system is abysmal. It forgets what it's doing, fails to load reliably, spams the same video ads over and over while simultaneously showing you photo and text ads for the exact same product (seeing the Starbucks logo in 3 places at once does nothing to affect my buying habits, sorry) It's just a pain in the hinder. I'll go anywhere, youtube, gootube, even myfreepaysite if I can find a user friendly interface that isn't going to abuse me more than the dirty television does.
My most recent shipment from Tiger Direct (www.tigerdirect.com) came in a box marked "the best deals on computer equipment, anywhere" or some such non-sense, and was subsequently smashed open and looted by the UPS guy, who was stupid enough to refil the box with local publications and tape it back up. A month and a half later I'm still fighting with UPS claims and Tiger trying to get the rest of my shipment.
I'm at work, so I can't be sure, but I suspect what you're talking about is a Random Dot Sterogram. (magic eye type of pic = RDS) Won't know until I go home and check it out though lol.
So it's ok to kill, pillage etc, but naughty words make you cry? It's not game makers fault that Americans have raised a hateful breed of vitriol spewing spawn, so stop demanding censorship from on high, there's got to be a better way.
Wait, this is a law being enforced by police who are driving around using a radio and watching an onboard computer display right?
(It should be noted that I'm biased, but in my defense, with a sneak-a-toke between the index and middle finger and a beer in hand, you've still got a hand to text with, a knee to steer with, a leg to work the pedals, and fith unspeakable appendage to tap out a beat.)
Regardless of how silly I think the reaction was, the right to free speech and right to bear arms don't apply when you're employed on someone else's time. You can polish guns, talk about anything you want, and generally be free when you aren't being payed by someone else to sit in thier little box under thier little rules. Would this be news if he'd been discussing mysoginistic or sexist plans and was relieved of his position? Of course not, thier box, thier rules. As if anyone under the thumb of corporate America has any delusions of freedom anyway, jeez.
Seriously, how many of you people decrying the political motives and angles used the phrase "The bodies aren't even cold" "Let the bodies get cold" or some souless variation? You don't care anymore than they do, this is some idle conversation point for you to stroke your ego on, so stop pretending you're superior to that filthy goddamn Thompson. These are people, they have families, and are not bodies for you to build arguments out of. Great googily moogily. Freakin vultures.
"You just have to understand that in Thailand, they feel the King is everyone's grandfather" How can that be? These guys installed themselves in power fairly recently didn't they? Was the previous administration Grandparent-esque as well? As an anti-authoritarian Westerner, I just can't wrap my mind around this adoration based on title rather than merit...
Thoughts?
Considering that as a demographic, I would expect Slashdot readers to be more concerned and aware of events like this than the average person, and that we're all sitting here debating the move's merits and making V for Vendetta jokes instead of, ya know, actually doing stuff, that they've played an expert hand.
Now as things get more and more extreme and your options for legal recourse become slimmer, people will start turning to terrorism, thereby (in thier minds) justifying the measures. Pretty slick for a group we put so much energy into making fun of.
Does it seem perverse to anyone else that in an attempt to prevent violent attacks on the government and it's policies, the establishment has removed/invalidated the most popular form* of peaceful dissent?
When they laugh at the marches and bury the petitions, do you grab a firebomb or your ankles?

Last-second grass-roots feel good lobbying: because the fuel to make a molotov cocktail is just too expensive.

It doesn't matter how off topic or irrelevant it is, any refrence to MST3K is worth while. :)

Says they scrapped the launch due to issues with the "deluge system"
More likely the problem stems from a deluge of Arnie jokes...

You live in Phx and think the ocean coming over the Rockies would work out well for you??? Well I've been to Phoenix and I'd tend to agree with you.
