what i think is you as people can stop this. just mail or call your congressman and give him/her a piece of your mind. contrary to turkey, i have an impression that congressman in united states actually vaguely care about constituents and if enough number of constituents blows their ears off, they take action.
what cathedral ? what bazaar ? what relation does any cathedral and bazaar have, what kind of metaphor is this, and just what the heck does that mean ?
You, or none of your designer friends, nor any of the designers reading this commend should use Corbis or any affiliated sites & services from now on.
filing $25.000 for $800 worth material is SHIT, and RIAA behaviour.
if you designers see the stupidity and bastardly greed in this and choose not to use Corbis, that will give Corbis enough spare time to shove their copyrights up their lawyers' arses.
i still think that you see extreme emotional situations as humane, and therefore you are not able to get in sync with the scenes when acting is not stellar and dialogue is not well written.
in real life we dont see stellar acting or proper dialogue in extreme emotional situations too.
you do not have an adequate knowledge of history on that matter.
french revolution did not just pop out of the blue.
the ideas and dynamics that created it were well underway in france even in 1750s. the works of people like rousseau, voltaire and such have propagated the ideas of equality, freedom, self-governance in the period between 1750-1789.
actually they were the 'hot' writers of the time - kinda like bestsellers of today. not only your founding fathers read them, but even some absolutist monarchs have read and followed them (catherina of russia, frederick II of prussia).
by 1776, those ideas were already on the go in many countries, including the british colonies. the reason that your revolution had found that immediate and whole hearted support from french is that french people actually were sympathizing with the revolutionary ideals in the colonies, which were directly taken from 18th century enlightenment. actually, after the french-indian war (where colonies and britain fought french and indians), france was exhausted. if it wasnt for the public participation (countless volunteers had come forth to fight with the colonies under people like lafayette - not counting lafayette himself) and the public pressure (which resulted in french state resources being tied to this new war despite not 20 years having passed from the end of the war, like navy which was battered in the last), colonies wouldnt stand a chance against the british.
1776 was like a rehearsal of french revolution ideals (you, by now are probably aware that french revolution ideals are a term applied to all principles of equality, freedom, self-governance etc that are put forward in the enlightenment age's period between 1740-1789) that were to be put to practice in the 1789 revolution, this time against a government WITHIN.
the fact is, atmospherical/natural phenomenon, does not happen twice in a century. given the right circumstances, they are bound to occur regularly, even if in different places of the world.
additionally, atmospheric phenomenon cannot follow plotted courses - they just unfold as the nature allows them to.
and atmospherical/natural phenomenon suggestions are too weak to explain countless sightings of different nature around the world.
if atmosphere/nature has been that lively, 'atmosphere watching' would be another form of entertainment.
unfortunately there is no direct grammatical or conceptual link between the bold sentence and flash gordon concept and the preceeding sentence there. one can see either way as it pleases oneself.
future can be anything. it can not necessarily resemble any movie we have seen.
as we live in present however, we are more interested in it. in that, star wars hits the jackpot - present translated into future terms, same stuff, but only in a more technological environment.
This is something I've witnessed personally: When an airplane is reflecting sunlight in the evening, it shows up as a bright metallic object. Because both the sun and the airplane are in motion, there will be a point in time, a single instant, when the light goes to a different angle. At this point, the bright, shiny airplane becomes totally dark.
only for individual cases.
in cases like mexico sightings, or phoneix sightings, where tens of thousands of people scattered in around tens of kilometer square areas, reflections do not suffice as the light angle would be different for any other observant located far from each other.
no. humane is what we experience in our real lives.
in 1, we see luke in an everyday environment, doing working for a living, farming and taking care of farmer stuff. a small family life in a barren planet. and then we see droids coming in, droids' place in social structure and what they do somewhat, and then we go to mos eisley and see a black market (likes of which you would find in any country), then some drama in which family gets brutally murdered.
expand to other films, we see many stuff - corruption in a democratic society, goodwilled and ill meaning representatives, militarists, conspirators, the distance that always there is in our real life between the executive, representative branches and whatever institution that holds a measure of power ( army in our case, jedi in early republic case)
in episode 5 we see a people's movement, rebellion, trying to fix the wrong and get democracy back to the galaxy, little different than french revolutionaries - only in french revolution's case majority was behind revolution and aristocrat cause was lost because they even thought of military action. we see nameless people dying in distant planets for their cause - to the extent that the heroes dont seem so much exagerrated in those episodes - luke, solo, leia just look like some forecoming members of countless strong-willed people.
in episodes 1,2,3, although they are most critisized, there are many humane elements - anakin's sufferings, his fear and its leading to extreme thoughts and inclinations, and later a political outlook on life ( analogies from our real world history, i dont want to speak of here ), there is a teacher trying his best, but making mistakes, there are too-detached intellectuals/spirituals (jedi elders) who can not conceive what is going on, a philosophical mistake ( of non interference, much like united states' earlier attitude in both wars, which were sure to affect it sooner or later), some indigenous cultures that have little impact on the political scene but still a member of a supra-national organization (nabooians, gungans, not much unlike many countless countries participating in united nations in our contemporary times). a developing conspiracy (little different in concept than g.w. bush & co, only maybe more 'magical' and focused on success) and so on.
especially 3 is most humane oriented film of the first block - anakin really loses it bit by bit, just starting from the now-distant experience of fear of losing his mother (at the time he was taken away from her to be a jedi), and then getting it as a devastating experience in the actual loss of her, and then carrying it as a psychological trait to his lover and then in the desperate search to find a way to prevent death, losing it totally.
there are loads of stuff that can be typed about other characters in those movies, but i dont have that much time. i gotta rest tonight somewhat and there are 9 more replies to read and answer.
2-3 years ago tens of thousands of people have watched ufos for hours over a span of days in mexico.
if all those people were on daniels, than jack daniels would as well do better off by closing down its marketing department since there would be no need for it anymore.
apparently what you take as humane is extreme conditions - like surprising return of a father in a most unexpected condition - drama.
no. humane is what we experience in our real lives.

Star Wars is good and all, but it's kiddie tripe compared to 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Blade Runner, or even the recent films The Fountain and Children of Men.
whoa ! hold on there pal.
neither blade runner or space odyssey portray what would a reflection of our current thoughts, emotions and fears be like in a futuristic/alternative timeline/future.
blade runner is too 'goth' and pessimist if you will, with almost no joy or happines within, and space odyssey is too detached and 'intelleftual' if you will.
star wars (you can name your favorite episode pick) has much more of real life than those - there is joy, there is anger, there is humanely fear, there is altruistic concern, there is lowly greed, there is honorable sacrifice, there are indifference, there is love, there is hate, just put whatever you can put here and it will still stick with it.
half of frenchmen then were altruistic, as they were following on voltaire, rousseau and others' ideas, half of them were just seeking revenge from english. percentages may vary.
Hollywood's willingness to fund science-fiction movies that actually said something about the human condition
"human condition" what is that ?
what "human condition" does Flash Gordon series contain ? or early superman series ? they are run-off-the-mill american dream robotized characters that are fighting absurd evil characters that contain no humane feelings - just evil, for evil's sake.
im not a star wars fan, but boy, star wars contain heaploads of stuff for "human condition" than any of the sci-fi stuff this guy is talking about - its about humane fears, good and evil, greed, comradeship, high ideals and lowly cravings.

Isnt there any civil rights organization or something to help people against that SHIT what you call RIAA ?
Holy f@ck ! - Even in TURKEY there is not that much oppression !
You americans need to choose between standing up to this motherf@cking crooks as public, or using the bill of rights as toilet paper.
Are not all what we, as public suffer from due to "guts" politicians have ..
they always have the "guts" to oppose popular will, but however manage to stay in power still.

i never found her attractive
this is what i was talking about actually.
in real life there are not much 'touching' things. its an extra-emotional situation.
fear of losing loved ones - people live with it day by day at times. greed, thats in there. mundane stuff - there.
what i am trying to say life is not that much touching - thats why 2001 and blade runner are rather out of sync with reality.
unfortunately there is no direct grammatical or conceptual link between the bold sentence and flash gordon concept and the preceeding sentence there. one can see either way as it pleases oneself.
its not about the future - its about the present.
