Get real! You're living in pure fantasy land. Tell your fictious boss to take a long walk off a short peer, along with a promise (no threats) that you will sue his ass off and hand it to the media for disection.
At least ripping off Carmina Burana is a tradition as old as Excalibur, but man, ripping off the Stargate soundtrack (which is played briefly just before Carmina in the trailer)... that's just sad.
Not that uncommon, really. Music from Braveheart was heard in a sizable percentage of trailers over the past year (or more.) --

Here are some references to poor translations of an old book right back at ya:
1 Cor. 4:5
Matthew 7:1
I am sure this is not a very popular posiion to take around here, but someone has to make a stand for what is right!
Who the hell are you to claim to know what it right?
My comments have nothing to do with free speech. Nor do I advocate requiring people to speak english to their families, friends and customers. You are right: We don't need an official language for all situations.
What I advocate is requiring people to know enough english to do business with our government. If you can read a ballot written in english, then you don't deserve to vote. If you can't read a license application written in english, then you don't deserve the license. If you don't want to learn english, then we can continue to consider you a temporary visitor to our country. If you like our country and would like to stay, then we invite you to learn the local language and join us. Otherwise, thanks for the visit. Write us when you get home. --
he says: 'I took the initiative in creating the internet'...
So he misphrased it. Here's what he did do:
Vice President Gore's active role in National Information Infrastructure policy can be traced to his days as a Senator. In 1986 he introduced legislation to enable the Office of Science and Technology Policy to provide Congress with an analysis of U.S. networking needs. As a result, in 1988 he introduced the National High Performance Computing and Communications Act that was signed by President Bush into Public Law 102-194 in 1991. His commitment within the current Administration is a continuation of these efforts.
Introducing legislation is often known (in Congress-ese) as 'taking the initiative.'
Heck, Bush is probably still anxiously waiting to meet the leader of Fredonia. I live in the state he supposedly "leads." If the rest of the nation knew just how little real power is in the hands of a Texas governor, they'd understand why he was good enough for that job, and not nearly qualified enough for a real job.
You know, I'm really growing tired of this Al Gore invented the internet debate.
So am I.
But then Al Gore claims internet creatorship because he sponsored finance bills which helped turn Darpanet into the internet?
No. Look up the word 'initiative' as it pertains to the working of committees in Congress. He doesn't claim 'creatorship.' He does claim that he initiated the process of procuring funding (through congressional action) to help spawn the Internet from ARPANET.
However, SNAP-1 is a nanosatellite technology demonstrator with a primary mission objective of performing on orbit remote inspection of other spacecraft.
They are the only company offerring Apple computers.
Quite an observation there.
Hey, look what I just noticed: Compaq is the only company offering Compaq computers. Chrysler is the only company offering Chrysler automobiles. Nike is the only company offering Nike shoes. Wow, this is amazing!
Or do you think Apple is the only place to purchase an Apple computer from? Then you would be wrong.
I choose where over 100 million goes on desktops each year.
I'm supposing you just call up Dell and do a big bank transfer to them.
I will not get a single Apple.
Good. We wouldn't want you to come back bitching about not being able to play HalfLife on it all day.
My problem with Disney cartoons is that they the characters are more and more starting to look like the voice actors themselfs.
What do you expect the character designers to do when they have no real creative talents?
Heck, Disney's been turning non-original stories into non-original scripts[1] and using non-original techniques to animate them[2] for years. Why should the character designs be any different?
[1] Faerie tales, old folk legends, and original stories from other cultures.
[2] I'm reminded of Joel Seigel's (morning TV movie critic) OOHing and AAHing over the "first time ever used" camera techniques used in Lion King, techniques that had been used for years in animation in other countries (even in lowly episodic TV animation.)
There was an interview the the designer of the Pocahontas character design: He showed a photo of the original Pocahontas (very unattractive, to put it mildly) telling us all the while how much they patterned the character design after her. Then they show us the beautiful girl who sang the songs, who looked EXACTLY like the character design drawings we'd been shown earlier. Hmmmmm.

You'd think so, the way christians continue to add their doctrine to the original documents and history of the USA.
(Example 1: The Pledge of Allegiance never included the line 'under god' until recently. Fortunately it's easy to leave out.)

Only a racist thinks language and race are tied together in some way.

He never claimed 'creatorship.' Ever.

Hmmm, maybe that's not just a fungus on Mir.
All we've done up with is an intelligent slime mold. Maybe the Russian space program is more advanced than we ever realized.
Are we prepared to shoot Mir out of the sky when it's "taken out of service" right into the Pentagon?

The shares of Apple I was "stupid" enough to buy are still worth four times what I paid for them.
I'm still laughing all the way to the bank.

We just haven't reverse-engineered it enough to understand it.
