...and provided Keanu with the opportunity to redeem himself cinematically which hadn't been done since the dark ages of "My Own Private Idaho", and Bill and Ted days at the merry-go-round of the current decade.
Overall the first film was a pretty rocking development of the original Gibson-esque inspired Matrix concept and a not_to_be too sneezed at adaption considering the commercial niche it aimed to fill.
The choice of the new generation which was the old generation which was Star Wars. Face it kids -- we grew up, and Lucas didn't.
You can sure bet that the Wachowski brothers have got their heads screwed on tightly enough avoid a possible die jar jar maelstrom.
We've got hell sexy effects to look forward to coupled with *gasp* a script, decent character development, sassy sound, brilliant cinematography, and some bad-assed credible cyberpunk; all built in with bitchin attitude.
Helluva rollercoaster for unadulterated entertainment. I'll buy a return ticket thanks.
"This is a completely bogus etymology. The word `history' derives from greek, in which it bears no relation to the greek phrase meaning `his story."
????
Root derivation or etymology is not the only consideration in language analysis.
"The coined phrase 'history' says it all really. History is a man made construction. Tales of men by men."
I'm sorry but I did not see this cited anywhere as an etymological description. What about the equally valid forms of language analysis: lexography and linguistics? It is all semantics. Language IS a social construct. It both shapes and is shaped by political forces. There are other factors to take into account apart from the original root derivation. Because the greek derivation did not imply gender does not mean that it was not readily adopted and integrated into language and became so.
One does not run clutching for etymons when analysing "red herring" for example.
What is good for the gander is good for the goose. Irrelevant of size or disposition.
Let Phillip Dick [author of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep -- alias Bladerunner] have the last word...from Deckard "Replicants are like any other machine - they're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem."
AIBO is not a hazard. Therefore it's not a problem. It's the ultimate frivolous technology plaything which allows us to marvel at our cleverness, return to our childhood, and feel that we're pushing the envelope. It's fun to take the piss out of ourselves although not if the stream is comprised of caustic battery acid.
I doubt that AIBOs are capable iof much dreaming per se but i'll do a little of my own dreaming of electric AIBOs.
Yes, I still have this saying firmly entrenched in my memory banks. It's a great one for being in kitchens at parties..."Johnny Five is Alive". A cheesy movie which produced a leech-like byline you just can't quite shake.
Needless to say this is way f*cked up. Another blow for freedom of speech. Brought to pass by the pervaders of the status quo who have not bothered to fully understand the culture which they are commenting on. The beaurocrats all need to go back to Internet 101 Summer School.
I don't know if it was just me or what but I got the New York Times on my link and I wasn't goin anywhere in a hurry.
Another occasion where the knee-jerk basis which this archaic autocracy which governs this nation and all the surrounding ones is exemplified. All agendas are politically expedient and delivered by rotting old fools who cannot begin to understand the phenomena. And we suffer for their ignorance.
In the words of Barbara Kruger:money doesn't necessarily buy taste.
On a postive note let us just hope that with the sponsorship deal and the impending name change to "X MultiMedia System" we get a sassy product stacked with features that don't just look good on hard copy but really deliver in fully audio glory. YUay MP3 streaming -- how groundbreaking [she said dryly].
Aaah...The Onion. One of the more formative cutting edge vehicles of satire around on the web today.
This article adopts such a pseudo-progressive scientific yet comforting motherly tone integrating up to speed credible references [hey this old chick knows about Sony's Aibo] with a idyllic olde worlde Mills and Boons charm. The joy is that the deception is actually so good that it almost carries it off. Another evil perpetrator in a similar genre has to be the rather wicked BLAMMO in all its sub-hemispheric twisted beauty.
They don't give out random awards to skinny blonde women but there are futuristic corporate sponsored avatars.
So lets see, if i can just work out how to reinvent myself as a methane-making, oxygen-hating microbe there's fresh hope for me... Back to the lab to see what's on the slab.
This isn't such groundbreaking news, NASA have been aware of the existence of microbes on Mars since August 1996 when scientists publically announced that an ancient meteorite that had plunged to Earth from Mars and revealed signs of primitive life. Astronomer Donald Goldsmith published a book detailing microbe findings which were traced from the rock remnants.
Sure we're doing it now and here but we're still literally light years away.
