In fact, these deaths are a sign of progress. I mean, we have been in Iraq for 3+ years and they haven't been killed yet...How do you know we didn't extend their lives 3 years, even if they would be dead of old age in the near future.

See, that Landrieu quote [previous thread] is a perfect example of the smarmy, mealy-mouthed, cliché-saturated vapidity that makes me want to herd politicians into a pit and break out the .60-caliber machine gun.
Yes, yes, I'm aware that received wisdom is that politicians have to talk like this, and that politics couldn't survive if plain-spoken honesty were the rule, etc. This argument, however, is insufficient to suppress my gag reflex. I simply can't relax and enjoy it.
This is only one of a host of issues, but the only thing that will break politicians of the habit of slithering along on paths of happy horseshit is constant reminders from We the People that We're not having it. The Democrats started making just these kinds of noises about major issues before and after 11/7, and would leave it at that if they thought they could get away with it.

Timberlake and Diaz Confirm Split
Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz have officially ended their relationship after almost four years together. The pair began dating in April 2003 after meeting at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. According to website Tmz.com, the pair issued a joint statement late yesterday announcing they have officially split, saying, "It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media. We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another." Timberlake has been romantically linked to Scarlett Johansson after the two were seen spending time together at an after-party for his film Alpha Dog. The Lost In Translation actress also stars in Timberlake's latest music video "What Goes Around."

Streep To Star in Film Version of 'Mamma Mia!'
Academy Award winner Meryl Streep is putting her vocal talents to the test in the Hollywood adaptation of ABBA musical Mamma Mia! The Devil Wears Prada star, 57, is set to play Donna, whose daughter Sophie is due to be married when she embarks on a journey to discover the identity of her father. It will be Streep's first musical. The film's producer, Judy Craymer, says, "(Streep) was always at the top of our wish list. She encapsulates the spirit and energy and has the powerhouse qualities that character requires." The movie features ABBA songwriters Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson as executive producers, while the picture will be produced by Tom Hanks' production company Playtone. Mamma Mia! will begin shooting later this year in London and Greece, and reports suggest the film's release will coincide with the musical's 10th anniversary in 2009.

Grendel is yet another mythological confirmation of the sex war thesis we occasionally restate here. There is a similar myth among the Irish, about a band of inferior bad people who are bad and who are too close to their mother. It is useful to be sensitive to when the transmission, from any time period, starts to yammer about the bad people who are bad.

Stimson also described Guantanamo as "certainly, probably the most transparent and open location in the world" because of visits from more than 2,000 journalists since it opened five years ago. However, journalists are not allowed to talk to detainees on those visits, their photos are censored and their access to the base has at times been shut off entirely.
Now why can't all reporters do that sort of fact-checking?

"Ayn Rand’s grand polemical novel keeps selling, and her admirers in Hollywood keep trying, and the latest effort involves a lineup of heavy hitters, starting with Angelina Jolie. Randall Wallace, who wrote “Braveheart” and “We Were Soldiers,” is working on compressing the nearly 1,200-page book into a conventional two-hour screenplay.
Whether Ms. Jolie, who has called herself something of a Rand fan, will bring the novel’s heroine, Dagny Taggart, to life on screen, or merely wind up on a list with other actresses who sought or were sought for the role — including Barbara Stanwyck, Faye Dunaway, Raquel Welch, Farrah Fawcett and Sharon Stone — remains to be seen.

"BACK in the 1970s Albert S. Ruddy, the producer of “The Godfather,” first approached Ayn Rand to make a movie of her novel “Atlas Shrugged.” But Rand, who had fled the Soviet Union and gone on to inspire capitalists and egoists everywhere, worried aloud, apparently in all seriousness, that the Soviets might try to take over Paramount to block the project.
“I told her, ‘The Russians aren’t that desperate to wreck your book,’ ” Mr. Ruddy recalled in a recent interview.
Rand’s paranoia, as Mr. Ruddy remembers it, seems laughable. But perhaps it was merely misplaced. For so many people have tried and failed to turn the book she considered her masterpiece into a movie that it could easily strike a suspicious person as evidence of a nefarious collectivist conspiracy. Or at least of Hollywood’s mediocrity."

And every single character talks in exactly the same way -- without ever coming close to how actual people talk.

Every dialog is this painfully didactic process in which we see Rand sorting through her own deeply crappy ideas, using her hysterical robots as pseudo-Platonic philosophers.

Novak tries his hand at whacko fiction
----
According to conservative columnist Robert Novak, a freshman Democratic Congressman confronted the top GOP election strategist nicknamed "Bush's Brain" in a White House bathroom, and taunted him for failing to beat him in November. ...
"Newly elected Rep. Steven Kagen, a rich allergist who self-financed his campaign in Wisconsin, by his own account taunted President and Mrs. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential adviser Karl Rove during a White House function for new members of Congress in December," Novak writes.
According to Novak, "Kagen told a group of activists that after he found himself in the restroom with Rove, he blocked the White House deputy chief of staff's departure by holding the door closed."
"You're in the White House and you think you're safe," Kagen allegedly said. "My name's Dr. Multimillionaire and I kicked your ass."

On the other hand, if it's true, I say good on Rep. Dr. Kagen.

Essentially, an ice storm is water that falls in its frozen form. Freezing rain is water that falls in its liquid form but the air closer to earth is colder than at altitude so that that rain freezes upon reaching the ground.

"Jack Cline is in a hospital here fighting for his life, stricken by leukemia that he says he got from exposure to benzene at his factory job. In most states, he would be able to sue the companies that made the benzene. But Alabama’s all-Republican, wildly pro-business Supreme Court threw out his case.
In a ruling that would have done Kafka proud, the court held that there was never a valid time for Mr. Cline to sue. If he had sued when he was exposed to the benzene, it would have been too early. Alabama law requires people exposed to dangerous chemicals to wait until a “manifest” injury develops. But when his leukemia developed years later, it was too late. Alabama’s statute of limitations requires that suits be brought within two years of exposure."

The arguments went well. “Questions asked by several justices indicated they were troubled by the legal Catch-22,” The Birmingham News reported.
The court ruled this month. It affirmed the dismissal of Mr. Cline’s case by a 5-to-4 vote."

There's been only 2 films made from Rand's works. The Fountainhead, and a Italian film of We The Living. We The Living isn't too bad. It was made when Mussolini was in power. The film had no problems with the censors, because it was anti-Communist. But then they realised it was also anti-authoritarian, so they had it banned.

Correspondent Helen Thomas lashes out at the 'lapdog media'
By Trevor Aaronson
January 13, 2007
Tapping into one of the strongest undercurrents at the National Conference for Media Reform in Memphis, longtime White House correspondent Helen Thomas criticized what she described as a lapdog media for not erecting roadblocks on the road to war in Iraq.
The doyenne of Beltway journalism, Thomas issued a sweeping indictment of American media during a Saturday-afternoon discussion at the Cook Convention Center.
"I think the American press corps has lost its way," Thomas said, adding: "There’s no reason the media played along with the administration’s shifting rationales, all untrue in the run-up to the catastrophic war in Iraq."
"Congress rolled over, as we did, no questions asked," Thomas said. "But the result of our default has been devastating? We lost our halo as the visionaries for a better mankind." http://www.commercialappeal.com/

Speaking of IMDB, here's some interesting trivia re: "The Fountainhead":
Ayn Rand only agreed to make her book into a movie if the director promised that everything she wrote would make it into the final product... Rand was furious when she heard that Howard Roark's speech at the trial was being trimmed, chiefly because it was considered long, rambling and confusing, especially to Gary Cooper who didn't understand it. She got the studio to make sure that the speech was untouched and in its entirety in the finished product.

Yeah, Rand wrote the screenplay herself. There was trouble on Roark's final speech. Rand wanted it read as it was, but Vidor wanted to cut it down a bit. Film directors usually do these things, so it wasn't completely unreasonable of Vidor to do it. But Rand insisted on having the entire speech read. She won. It goes on for 6 minutes. I must admit it is an interesting speech, but visually it's very boring.

Because I just love big, fat trainwrecks of a movie - but only if they're big budget, "professional" productions.
Ed Wood's movies come under the category of "so bad they're good."
And the Johnny Depp movie, "Ed Wood" is terrific.

You know what rates an epic miniseries is Gore Vidal's Creation, which was written as a mini-education and a direct strike at the Christ-fetishizing of the Reagan era. Buddha, Confucius, Socrates, Xerxes and Pericles arguing about life.

Dumbest movie I ever saw was the preview someone's anti-drug morality tale in the late sixties. Waif wanders off to California, has various and sundry misadventures... finishes off with her dropping acid while she's at a house where she's baby sitting an infant and supposed to start dinner. Mother comes home to find her standing in the living room, tripping out and holding a raw turkey wrapped in the baby's blanket. Sort of the predecessor of the drying the poodle in the microwave urban legend.
Don't think it was ever released, but it did show up on weekend cable tv about 5 years ago.

I wonder if he's ever seen Wet Hot American Summer. Or Reefer Madness. Or Showgirls. Or Robot Monster...
A lot of crap that Hollywood makes is forgotten about instantly. It's hard to name one Hollywood director that makes memorable, challenging work....
People STILL talk about Ed Wood. They know his name, they know his work. Think about that....

Actually, a local journalist/comedian named David Schmader does these showings of "Showgirls" (I'm imagining a live version of MST 3K without robots), I haven't been to a showing, but I would like to. I hear they are pretty funny (and I think the studio had him do it for an alternative sound/track on the DVD of the movie).

Speaking of bad movies, my wife and I happened to dial in HBO last weekend for the last 45 minutes of "The Phantom Menace."
Turns out that's just about the right length!
Cut out all the forced comedy relief of Jar Jar and that's about right.
Lucas lost what really made the first one shine. He lost his way.
It's amazing to me that Ep III didn't totally suck.
