If you're making an Exodus, make sure that when you get to your 'Red Sea', you have both an escape route and a way to CYA from those you're running from.
Who else thought Elizabeth (Lizard Breath, ha ha) was hot? Hot in that greasy 80's sort of way......played by Jennifer Cooke.
According to a Google-cached Tripod website (no longer online):
Biographical Information Jennifer was born in September 1964 in Sataukey, Long Island. She is 5'6" tall. As well as acting, Jennifer has also done some swimsuit modelling. She is currently married to "Celestial Seasonings" founder Mo Siegel. With her husband, she co-wrote the 1996 cookbook, "Cooking with Tea: A Celestial Seasonings Cookbook". Jennifer has retired from show business, and with Mo is active in the Urantia Brotherhood/Fellowship.
...who got the part of Robin Maxwell after Dominique Dunne was murdered during the filming of the Original Series. Other than one reverse shot, all of Dominique's scenes were subsequently deleted.
I thought that when the rebel fighters developed the Red Dust they would disperse it around the planet, into the air. The ending of the series doesn't get into details, but it is assumed that the humans won after the little girl safed the mother ship from crashing and killing the leader with the dust. How can the Visitors STILL be in charge when they can't even breathe the air.
The planet shifted to a pro-Visitor political climate. Lots of tax cuts, improvements in education, and a balanced budget. Besides, don't you think it's suspicious that those rebels use "Red Dust" to defeat the Visitors? Sounds pretty pinko to me.
This is incredibly silly: if they want water, they could simply get it from Europa, or no doubt many places in their own solar system: hydrogen and oxygen aren't exactly rare elements, and if oxygen was rare there, life wouldn't have evolved there anyway.
Europa already has a nuclear weapons program in place, so they're just at the negotiation/diplomatic stage.
Besides, as others have pointed out, it's not about the water! This is about liberating humans!
It would be interesting if one of the mitigating factors how passangers on UAL 77 overpowered their hijackers was because of the cell phones used to call loved ones, hence interfering with the instrumentation and/or guidance controls, enough to distract the highjackers.
Why, back in my day, we didn't HAVE laptops. We had clunky old XT machines that weighed about a ton and you were lucky if your desktop held them!
Or be lucky to have access to a "Fat Mac" with 1 MB RAM and $35(!) to buy five(!!) low-density Mac disks.
Same era.
I was in an advanced math class where we took turns taking notes, transcribing them, and them pass around copies of the notes. I ended just saying "fuck it" and Xeroxing my notes to the class.
Oh, and the above comment about tape recorders -- only time I did it was with history discussion group when the professor *forbade* note-taking as too distractive.
Old Coot Advice to High School Juniors and Below: For class, learn to take pen-paper notes NOW -- it becomes indispensible later in life with Endless Boring Meetings and having no electronic doo-dads to keep track.
I don't know about you guys, but I still don't think CGI is ready for the big time. In every movie it looks so obvious that there was CGI used that it almost ruins the movie for me.
Yeah, even 70 years later, that big monkey still looks cheezy.
(And I think he should have been given a Retro award before Yoda and Gollum.)

Sure, we'd all like to see her naked and petrified with hot grits down her pants, and, like another poster said, lord have mercy on all the jokes that come with that name, but who on Slashdot could possibly care what an 18 year old poster girl has to say about the legal issues of IP?
I was going to reply that this was "akin to finding in-depth political and social commentary with the celebrity-of-the-most-recent-fifteen-minutes" and "well, if JPGs of Melinda Gates in Victoria's Secret lingerie were floating around, we'd all switch to M$ in a fap-beat", but then I'se got to thinkin'.
Tradeshows have been using cheesecake models to influence the techs (and whose with the corporate pursestrings) through their dumbsticks even before Madster/Amiee was toddling in diapers. Tain't nothing new. Now she's preening and posing for her/her dad's company/standpoint.
So? Besides showing off skin and her corporate connection, is she really anyone significant techwise? Otherwise, I expect to hear from Paris Hilton on the impact of the SARS pandemic on the tourist industry.
Just because it happens to be a game doesn't mean that no one is responsible for screwing things up. Try walking into the NBA playoffs and stealing the ball.
Jack Nicholson and Calvin Klein, notwithstanding...
Heck, anyone with a old 8-bit "Dukes of Hazzard" video game is in trouble. And it's a good thing they never made "Les Miz" into an action adventure game.
So, this law sidesteps any degrees of corruption on the depiction of the law enforcement official. Wonderful.
Frightened? Just think how effective we could fight terrorism! Every person in the US could be tracked, we could see who they meet and if they're sleeping, working maybe, in the future, what they're talking about.
