And actors frequently finish more than one movie a year.
There is a glut of entertainment. We are still adjusting to the new reality of a market of billions of consumers. You could make profits with pennies but they are still charging dollars.
For some reason there seems to be two prices... "Really overpriced at the maximum yield management price level" and "Free".
But I see in DVD's it's more of a continuum now... $5 disk with 3 movies up to $30 for a disk.
But Netflix changes that to "lots and lots and lots of stuff for $11 or $15 a month"
He started with a costume and it got smaller over the years.
In the comic book, it was 1/8th of an inch long on the printed page and not moving and not glowing.
It's the difference between the picture of a naked girl on a beach and a video of a girl running towards you on the beach.
Because they added motion and glowing, they needed to tone it down a bit. Some side shots, some "hat in the way" shots, especially where it's swinging around.
OTH, we should get over it being a big issue. It didn't bother me but I could see why it was an issue for others. Some had almost a childish glee talking about how it bothered them too.
Seriously-- if they had John WIlliams create the score we would have liked it a lot better.
The movie sound track gives you clues how to feel about the scene. My daughter complained the Watchman soundtrack actually misled her and gave her a jarring feeling. It would set her up to feel one way and then expect her to feel another way.
It was also TOO grisly. There are things that played in the comic book which should have been toned down by 50% in the movie. You don't need to zoom in on the blood of the exploded criminal dripping from the ceiling.
The penis was a lot more of an issue when it was 2' long and swinging around on the movie screen vs being 1/16th of an inch long on the comic book page.
It was a good and faithful adaption. Very good casting.
The ending changing was acceptable.

On Barberella, -values have changed a LOT since the 60's. Sex is more acceptable, cheating is a lot less acceptable (I just watched "1,2,3" with James Cagney and his cheating on his wife was accepted and only an annoyance to her- today that wouldn't fly. it was jarring). I like Barbarella a lot. I like the entire Heavy metal type of work tho.
It's so relative tho. Very masculine men wore lace and colors only 150 years ago. When I do renfest, I wear lacy clothing and it rocks. There was a little surge of it by rock stars in the 60's and 70's but then it faded.
Find a few couples who are fertile in space despite these problems and problem solved. Only if no human can reproduce under these conditions is it a block.
which is the installable version of all software installed on the machine.
In media, I have classic cool
I distinguish between adult and porn. So I have adult/classic (classic nudes from the 70's and 80's...when women had hair and tan lines. And looked more real and less like terminators.) adult/cool (for things like corset piercing pictures) adult/pinup (no nudity or rare)
And Pictures/cool (various cool pictures that elicited an emotional response from me) Pictures/classic (various pictures from the 40's, 30's, 20's and even earlier) Pictures/(various subtitles).
Documents are divided into various gaming material folders. I rarely keep anything sensitive on computers attached to the net tho so no tax forms, no bank information.
It's not pie in the sky research as much as which pie in the sky research.
If the budget is 85 billion dollars, what amount is a reasonable amount for pie in the sky research? 85 milllion? 81 billion?
By the name, it's speculative so anything over 1% seems unreasonable to me. You'll probably just bid up the price of pie in the sky research or attract a bunch of lunatics to the field looking for free cash.
All fixed state taxes are regressive (car tax, cell phone tax, etc).
Google "Whopaystaxes.pdf" and you'll see that the fixed taxes weigh in on the poor at over 10% of their income (12.3% in texas) but only hit the wealthy for.3% of their income.
That's why you see such a big "push" for fixed fees and user fees.
The park fee of $40 is punitive to the poor and keeps them out of the public park, but it's nothing to the wealthy person.
I think we should have more government benefits, but in that environment, it amazes me that you work at all.
Unless everything is relative and if you have 31k after taxes, then you are much better off than someone with 27k after taxes or the poor sod with 22k and benefits on the dole.
Are you capable of actually discussing a subject at all?
Let's start with the basics.
Did I vote for Dan Patrick?
Am I republican.
Is it pointless to enter a discussion using terms like "retardicans"?
Let my try one without an insult.
You could have voted or perhaps you did but you didn't get enough of your friends to vote.
YOU LOST. You LOST and "Retardicans" are running the show now. You could have gotten more democrats or green or libertarians out to vote, but you didn't.
So now all you can do is sit around looking pathetic and posting bad words about the WINNERS who have the power.
Better luck next time.
Tho to be honest, the PTB have things so locked up that in over 15 years of voting, my vote has only mattered once (then barely). The rest of the time I'm either with the 65% winning side or the 35% losing side. Gerrymandering at it's finest.
But if you feel so strong, DONATE. Not just your money- but also your time.
In the end, the states can't spend money they don't have.
But your basic issue with the particular terms is fine.
I have to specify myself.
Socially Liberal Fiscally Liberal Socially Conservative Fiscally Conservative
That's a lot of typing.
I wish we could call them SL's FL's SC's FC's
I prefer an FC, SL government.
Hmmm interesting...there could be 8 forms.
SLFC Social concerns important, and fiscally conservative Aka, benefits then budget. SLFL Social concerns important, and also fiscally liberal SCFC SCFL
but also
FCSL Fiscal concerns first, and then socially liberal (Kansas... We have 100 bucks, okay what is the best thing we can do with it and folks are free to have sex and speech) FCSC (Hardnosed about budget , and then traditional values, no gay marriage, no government welfare) FLSL etc FLSC etc
I think a narrow majority wants it to "change" back to what it used to be... illegal.
Or to put it another way... to undo the prior change.
Personally, I can't see a good resolution for the issue and it is ruining the country. The corporations and the wealthy are using it to cause lots of people with a certain morality to vote against their own self interest turning the country corporatist and facist and destroying employment.
I can see how sincere people can come down on both sides of the abortion issue. It really is a poison pill for our form of government. We almost need to split into two countries and then move on from there. But that's not possible.
You know the best evidence for intelligent design in the bible.
Angels telling particular humans that they need to breed and have humans.
The christian god was clearly engaged in eugenics and selective breeding of humans. (See Hager- personally visited by an angel and told she needed to go have children with (Abraham? think so), and other examples).
However, what gets me... is that we can have huge impacts on dogs in 20-40 generations, yet it took the christian god 2 billion years to breed up humans.
That is an incredibly ineffective breeding program.
All the advanced math in the world doesn't change that for the states.
And it really doesn't change it for the federal government indefinitely.
Understand, I'm fairly liberal by most standards-- I even support higher taxes on myself to provide better government.
But it's unwise to spend money you don't have and to play funny money with the books- and EVERYONE can make a good argument why their area shouldn't be cut.
i.e., I'm glad you want theoretical research. Now, for each researcher, I have to let 400 children go hungry at night. For each grant for equipment, I have to cut wellfare and medical benefits for 1,000 low income families.
Now... how many researchers and equipment grants do you want?
Because when they do that, they cease to be expensive.
Let's face it, most classes could be taught by lecture with a live human audience for the first recording (those people will get most of the obvious questions that the professor answers over and over and over and over) and teaching assistants.
But, then you wouldn't need the professor again.
It's like newspaper columnists. When we had local papers you needed them.
But with national news media available, you really only need a dozen or so columnists in each area. Every one else is mostly redundant.
You could literally have a dozen college calculus teachers in the entire world.
Lowering the cost of providing calculus by 90%.
Same for most other undergraduate courses.
Only courses where the students actually need to talk interactively with the professor (very few) need human professors.
I must apologize for my incredibly trollish and/or inflammatory comment. Rarely have I posted such an offensive post which deserved down modding more than this one. Shield your eyes, lest it cost you sleep at night.
In the end, if you are 29 bllion in the hole and a state not the federal government, you must cut your budget by 29 billion.
Every cut seems dumb to those in the area being cut.
I think high property taxes are extremely punitive to the retired and anyone who loses their job.
High sales and income taxes at least only hit people spending money (and sales taxes are tuned to avoid basic needs).
However, along the same logic... any increase in income tax will apparently lead to massive flight of the wealthy from Texas to Belize or Mississipi or France.
The wealthy won for a while with the "I'm going to take my ball" argument, but now that EVERYWHERE is running into money problems, I think taxes may flow the other way for a while.

Especially at Valentine's day unless everything is very traditional and normal.
And then there are groups of friends who do not get along but share you.
I find it stressful.
Debating whether to withdraw or not. It doesn't seem to be providing a lot of benefit.
This changed as of netflix.
I went from 38up / 300 down to 280 up / 980 down without any change in cost.
Things come down instantly now.
Big service in Texas. Don't really want to advertise for them tho.
It's so relative tho.

I'm sorry, but they KHAAANNN'T.
I'm talking college, not high school.
99% of students never ask the professor a question.
The 1% who do basically ask the exact same questions.
For an example of the concept done well, check out the following.
http://www.justiceharvard.org/
I found it compelling and watched every episode, did some of the side reading, and I'm not even in college any more.
