History Channel tonight had a show called "Modern Marvels: Doomsday Weapons." A narrator kept coming on with speculative Doomsday scenarios, like un 2016 hackers will trick the Pentagon into firing nukes at the Russians. Then in 2022 or so genetically modified food will get out of hand, mutate and destroy farming. Billions perish from famine, overrun by inedible crops. You have been warned

And lovers a'gazin' at stars;
The stores are all closin', and Daley is dozin',
And the fat man is counting the cars...
And there's more cars than places to put 'em, he says,
But I've got room for them all;
So 'round 'em up boys, 'cause I want some more toys,
In the lot by the grocery store...
To me, way, hey, tow them away,
The Lincoln Park Pirates are we,
From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy
And we always collect our fee!
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away,
We plunder the streets of your town,
Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy,
And no one can make us shut down.

Nah. It's an anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-Klan film. Pretty effective, too. A bit like Fritz Lang's "Fury" in some ways. Bogart's pretty amazing in it.
Sorry to repeat, but this is Three Kings only bad.

THANK YOU WATERTIGER !
It wasn't Beltran's fault, but I couldn't stomach the prissy, anal Chakotay character from the get-go.
Based on the pre-debut hype, I expected the Maqui to be a rag-tag band of rowdy rebels-- sort of a Federation crew stepping through a warped and jagged Looking Glass.
I thought they'd have a running theme playing off the tension between the uptight, by-the-book Academy grads and the anarchic rebel-types.
Instead, they wrote scenes like Chakotay having a hissy fit because some seductress pilfers mushrooms from ship's stores to make him some soup. He really acts horrified and pissed, too.
Even a normal man would have eaten the soup, bedded the babe, and maybe afterwards warned her gently not to take food without permission in the future.
Seven of Nine drew me back, and IMHO Jeri Ryan redeemed the moribund series and allowed it to die with dignity.
oh, boo.
yah.

and i usually like kubrick. a lot.
Sarah Silverman is the goddess of comic timing.
I didn't get 2001 until ten years after I first saw it so I'm going to give Eyes Wide Shut ten years too.

stand up comic. her movie is called "jesus is magic" iirc. saw previews, one of my son's friends saw it and almost ended up in the ER from laughing so hard (he says)
Jimmy Kimmel's girlfriend, isn't she?
Comedian - perhaps you know her as the obnoxious girlfriend in "School of Rock".
I don't actually know either.
Comedienne specializing in shock humor. Example: Everybody blames the Jews for killing Christ. And then the Jews try to pass it off on the Romans. Im one of the few people that believe it was the blacks.

"Seven of Nine drew me back, and IMHO Jeri Ryan redeemed the moribund series and allowed it to die with dignity."
Here! here!
And she looked great too.
Actually I could enjoy Voyager except for the episodes that were clearly written to focus on Mulgrew 100 percent. It is like she had a seperate team of writers just for her. Ryan did manage to make them improve the writing despite the fact she was the sex appeal. Very odd they pulled that off.
"Who is Sarah Silverman?

She is one of the most offensive or funniest stand ups there is (part of the offensive part is that we aged patriarchs can sometimes stmoach things from a guy that are disturbing from a women) -- one of her lines that I remember (although not the exact names) went -- 'My cousin got married -- they hyphenated their names -- "Goldfarb-Abramowitz" -- they're thinking of changing it to "Jew". '
Comedian - perhaps you know her as the obnoxious girlfriend in "School of Rock".
And Screwed, as well (very underrated movie, BTW). Also Greg The Bunny and one or two in-over-her-head episodes of SNL.

Voyager totally lost me with the episode where B'ellana Torres went thru the Klingon version of pon farr. Tom Paris had been trying to get under her uniform since the series started. But suddenly he gets all "noble" and won't have sex with her, stating that she'll regret it when she's herself.
I thought, "What the hell! Does he think she's a Victorian maiden? That she's never had sex before?" What is said to me was: he wanted them to have sex on his initiative, not when she needed it.
When she actually thanked him afterward, and later married him, it struck me as totally unrealistic and absurd.

Yep, just a while ago. We had to stop at a WalMart on the way back because Rosie was out of diapers, but it wasn't all bad: we determined that there's no need for us to go to a WalMart for the Christmas season now. So a net gain, really.
I just dropped $100 on DVD's for the teen--buying her much of the Tim Burton catalogue. She's obsessed with him.

Which "Shining" are you talking about, Kubrick's or the ABC one?

Not a fan of film of King films with exception to The Stand, disregarding the ridiculous ending in Las Vegas.

If I ever spawn a mini-Nim, I wanna name it Thurman Murman.
because of the cyst?
Sarah Deere
You know it. Staggered in to the Dr.'s office today, and the doctor says, "Please tell me you have not been walking around like that for a week." I had a high old time, let me tell you...the best part was getting multiple iodine-soaked cloths pushed an inch into my back...where they now remain, with the tufts sticking out of the sores.
My advice? If you have a sebaceous cyst, get it removed before it gets infected. Doctors have no sense of urgency about it, but I'm telling ya...it's REALLY unpleasant getting one of these fuckers drained. And I've got two more procedures before I'm done.

I haven't seen Syriana yet. It was sold out at Angelika.

My favorite Silverman from the New Yorker was prolly "I wear this St. Christopher medal sometimes becauseIm Jewish, but my boyfriend is Catholicit was cute the way he gave it to me. He said if it doesnt burn through my skin it will protect me.

Salem's Lot is, more than likely, the best TV horror movie ever. It's easily the best job anyone has done with King's stuff, even with David Soul.

The best movie based on a King book has to be The Shawshank Redemption. I still fail to understand how Oscars completely ignored that movie.
Love is strange.

3. Try to be topical.
4. Add monster.

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining. At least, not about how I feel right now. This is the best I've felt in a while, even without the narcotics. I mentioned to the doctor that I'd been feeling a little woozy and nauseated, and asked if it was some sort of poisoning from the infection, and she said "No, I think that's just from spending a week in constant pain."

I understand they had trouble coming up with PG trailers for "Bad Santa" because they couldn't get several minutes of footage with "fuck" in it -- I thought the closing scene with the kids watching as the cops were chasing Santa was wonderful!

I got my niece an Anime for X-Mas, "The Full Metal Alchemist" I heard it was good and that it would be okay for a teenager. But that was hearsay as opposed to someone who knew something about Anime.

Spirited Away is easily the best anime I've seen, and I've seen some good ones.
Anyone NYC folk been to that new IFC screening room on 6th @ Waverly?

GEORGE W. BUSH is so desperate for allies that his hapless Asian tour took him to Ulan Bator, a first for an American president, so he could mingle with the yaks and give personal thanks for Mongolia's contribution of some 160 soldiers to "the coalition of the willing." Dick Cheney, whose honest-and-ethical poll number hit 29 percent in Newsweek's latest survey, is so radioactive that he vanished into his bunker for weeks at a time during the storms Katrina and Scootergate.
The whole world can see that both men are on the run. Just how much so became clear in the brace of nasty broadsides each delivered this month about Iraq. Neither man engaged the national debate ignited by John Murtha about how our troops might be best redeployed in a recalibrated battle against Islamic radicalism. Neither offered a plan for "victory." Instead, both impugned their critics' patriotism and retreated into the past to defend the origins of the war. In a seasonally appropriate impersonation of the misanthropic Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life," the vice president went so far as to label critics of the administration's prewar smoke screen both "dishonest and reprehensible" and "corrupt and shameless." He sounded but one epithet away from a defibrillator.
The Washington line has it that the motivation for the Bush-Cheney rage is the need to push back against opponents who have bloodied the White House in the polls. But, Mr. Murtha notwithstanding, the Democrats are too feeble to merit that strong a response. There is more going on here than politics.
Much more: each day brings slam-dunk evidence that the doomsday threats marshaled by the administration to sell the war weren't, in Cheney-speak, just dishonest and reprehensible but also corrupt and shameless. The more the president and vice president tell us that their mistakes were merely innocent byproducts of the same bad intelligence seen by everyone else in the world, the more we learn that this was not so. The web of half-truths and falsehoods used to sell the war did not happen by accident; it was woven by design and then foisted on the public by a P.R. operation built expressly for that purpose in the White House. The real point of the Bush-Cheney verbal fisticuffs this month, like the earlier campaign to take down Joseph Wilson, is less to smite Democrats than to cover up wrongdoing in the executive branch between 9/11 and shock and awe.

Not usually, no. With some films, like Blazing Saddles, they insert extra footage to make up for all they cut. Of course, that's less of a perk in the age of DVDs.
I can't imagine anyone not being a fan of Joaquin Phoenix. He was absolutely the best thing about "Gladiator" IMHO.
Part 2:
The cover-up is failing, however. No matter how much the president and vice president raise their decibel levels, the truth keeps roaring out. A nearly 7,000-word investigation in last Sunday's Los Angeles Times found that Mr. Bush and his aides had "issued increasingly dire warnings" about Iraq's mobile biological weapons labs long after U.S. intelligence authorities were told by Germany's Federal Intelligence Service that the principal source for these warnings, an Iraqi defector in German custody code-named Curveball, "never claimed to produce germ weapons and never saw anyone else do so." The five senior German intelligence officials who spoke to The Times said they were aghast that such long-discredited misinformation from a suspected fabricator turned up in Colin Powell's presentation to the United Nations and in the president's 2003 State of the Union address (where it shared billing with the equally bogus 16 words about Saddam's fictitious African uranium).
Right after the L.A. Times scoop, Murray Waas filled in another piece of the prewar propaganda puzzle. He reported in the nonpartisan National Journal that 10 days after 9/11, "President Bush was told in a highly classified briefing that the U.S. intelligence community had no evidence linking the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein to the attacks and that there was scant credible evidence that Iraq had any significant collaborative ties with Al Qaeda."
The information was delivered in the President's Daily Brief, a C.I.A. assessment also given to the vice president and other top administration officials. Nonetheless Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney repeatedly pounded in an implicit (and at times specific) link between Saddam and Al Qaeda until Americans even started to believe that the 9/11 attacks had been carried out by Iraqis. More damning still, Mr. Waas finds that the "few credible reports" of Iraq-Al Qaeda contacts actually involved efforts by Saddam to monitor or infiltrate Islamic terrorist groups, which he regarded as adversaries of his secular regime. Thus Saddam's antipathy to Islamic radicals was the same in 2001 as it had been in 1983, when Donald Rumsfeld, then a Reagan administration emissary, embraced the dictator as a secular fascist ally in the American struggle against the theocratic fascist rulers in Iran.
What these revelations also tell us is that Mr. Bush was wrong when he said in his Veterans Day speech that more than 100 Congressional Democrats who voted for the Iraqi war resolution "had access to the same intelligence" he did. They didn't have access to the President's Daily Brief that Mr. Waas uncovered. They didn't have access to the information that German intelligence officials spoke about to The Los Angeles Times. Nor did they have access to material from a Defense Intelligence Agency report, released by Senator Carl Levin of Michigan this month, which as early as February 2002 demolished the reliability of another major source that the administration had p

The more we learn about the road to Iraq, the more we realize that it's a losing game to ask what lies the White House told along the way. A simpler question might be: What was not a lie? The situation recalls Mary McCarthy's explanation to Dick Cavett about why she thought Lillian Hellman was a dishonest writer: "Every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the.' "
If Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney believe they were truthful in the run-up to the war, it's easy for them to make their case. Instead of falsely claiming that they've been exonerated by two commissions that looked into prewar intelligence - neither of which addressed possible White House misuse and mischaracterization of that intelligence - they should just release the rest of the President's Daily Briefs and other prewar documents that are now trickling out. Instead, incriminatingly enough, they are fighting the release of any such information, including unclassified documents found in post-invasion Iraq requested from the Pentagon by the pro-war, neocon Weekly Standard. As Scott Shane reported in The New York Times last month, Vietnam documents are now off limits, too: the National Security Agency won't make public a 2001 historical report on how American officials distorted intelligence in 1964 about the Gulf of Tonkin incident for fear it might "prompt uncomfortable comparisons" between the games White Houses played then and now to gin up wars.
Woohoo! Blood spatter!

(The Bengals, you see)
.
Oh wow. The Hulk is next week's Sci-Fi movie? I didn't realize it sucked *that* bad.
How many people does Hulk eat? Anyone remember?
the end:
No debate about the past, of course, can undo the mess that the administration made in Iraq. But the past remains important because it is a road map to both the present and the future. Leaders who dissembled then are still doing so. Indeed, they do so even in the same speeches in which they vehemently deny having misled us then - witness Mr. Bush's false claims about what prewar intelligence was seen by Congress and Mr. Cheney's effort last Monday to again conflate the terrorists of 9/11 with those "making a stand in Iraq." (Maj. Gen. Douglas Lute, director of operations for Centcom, says the Iraqi insurgency is 90 percent homegrown.) These days Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney routinely exaggerate the readiness of Iraqi troops, much as they once inflated Saddam's W.M.D.'s.
"We're not going to sit by and let them rewrite history," the vice president said of his critics. "We're going to continue throwing their own words back at them." But according to a Harris poll released by The Wall Street Journal last Wednesday, 64 percent of Americans now believe that the Bush administration "generally misleads the American public on current issues to achieve its own ends." That's why it's Mr. Cheney's and the president's own words that are being thrown back now - not to rewrite history but to reveal it for the first time to an angry country that has learned the hard way that it can no longer afford to be without the truth.
