he still won through! hurray!!!
zoinks
I can't believe I'm this silly. I'm not going to answer any of my posts!!
>>the songs were good There were two times near the end i wasn't so sure the songs fit really but for 90% of the film they were great. I started thinking about it and they needed all the music so they could transition between the multiple scenes without rushing them or filling in with crappy banter<<
I didn't catch on until "All Along The Watchtower" but they were playing songs quoted in the comic at the end of each chapter/issue.
..il postino...he died for your sins...
There was one scene I wish they'd kept. When Rohrshach is caught the media interview his landlady who says he was a smelly creep who tried to proposition her. When he gets out he goes back to his apt for his mask and hat and she catches him. He starts telling her she lied and he can't permit that while Nite Owl begs him to spare her. He asks her "how much did they pay you to lie about me, whore?". and she begs him not to call her that in front of her kids because "they don't know". As he stares at her five totally disimilar kids, whoresons like himself, he just walks away.
Hrm.
Yeah dr manhattan was often alone. Or with laurie.
His unit wasn't that pronounced in the comic as the film btw
He was stark nude when he got back from mars in NYC before he went to the south pole, but I guess the were alone there too
Btw in the comic people didn't get vaporized by the doomsday device, their brains melted out their nose.at least that's what the heaped corpses looked like. One of the few ways the movie skimped on carnage
Nothing is impossible about putting an existing warhead on a truck and driving it to a wharf for Al Qaeda to collect.
While its unlikely a terror state could be stable enough for PRODUCTION of nuclear weapons, the likelihood of a terrorist outfit being gifted the PRODUCT is quite high, as it is the one way enemies of the American regime can employ such weapons against the American target without any fear of retaliation. Especially our fleet in the Persian Gulf, which permits unknown vessels to get within machine gun range. The world knows--through American experimentation--what happens to even the largest warships a few miles from a submerged fission explosion.
There is no uncertainty about AQ attempting the use of an atomic bomb with skilled, trained professionals willing to die in the attempt. The only uncertainty is whether regimes possessing nukes hate us that much.
Yeah when the govt asked him to. He had no inhibition against surfacing his submarine.
So the correct answer is "no one has ever built a conveyor belt capable of carrying a 747 nor is such a belt possible to current materials science"
I think that is one of the points of the comic; it didn't matter whether he got active or not. What resolves the action is not a genius' scheme but the fanaticism of a maniac and the initiative of a moron. That was more clear in the comic, where Seymour's shirt with the stain on it is the last thing you see as he reaches into the mailtray. That happy face shows up too frequently and for no reason to be pointless.
"It's all a joke"
Dr manhattans regression from suit in the 1960s to speedo in Nam to present day full monty was a sign of his growing inhumanity.
Ok I'll bite. What good music of the 70s are you talking about?
I like 40s music because I once played in a band. So I know what they're doing. And I can listen to it at work without having to worry about lyrics...until they play that "Dope & Glory" album
well they did beef up Dan Dryberg's character, he did more stuff in the movie than he did in the comic.
And they actually cut the big sex scene from the comic: Dan and Laurie get it on in Ozymandias' palace because they need to affirm they really are alive. So maybe this was a standin for that one. But it was more pr0n that you'd usually see in an American blockbuster. Except maybe "Team America"
who -I- feel upset for is Jason Cho and Kal Penn, because now they know how far Malim Akerman would have gone in "Harold & Kumar Go to WhiteCastle" if they'd pushed
I have to admit it is a dated story, because the 1980s had a very different mood than today. That old fart down at the garage could have won the Medal on Guadacanal. We truly believed that Doomsday Clock would hit Midnight inevitably, the way people believe in climate change--Reagan with his crazy talk of USSR on the ashheap of history was either naive or psychotic, depending on your outlook. We were just finding out how f'd up the CIA had been during the 1960s. So today when you dip into a story about people who are motivated by avoiding the start of WW3, you can close the book and go back to normal. When Moore launched this stuff, you couldn't.
the comic IS better but the movie was good
hmm, a bit random...well the comic had a few more developed bit characters for background, like the black kid and that news vendor, and the psychologist had his own drama, so you got more of a sense of the whole city around them. But that would have made it a 3 hour movie

Appearing on a popular Turkish television chat show, Hadi Gel Bizimle (Come and Join Us), Clinton tackled a few diplomatic questions but the main focus was on her personal life, such as when she "last" fell in love.
"It was so long ago, with my husband," she told the studio audience, adding that she first met former President Bill Clinton in the spring of 1971 when they were at law school.
"We have been talking to each other and enjoying our life together ever since," she said.

ANYBODY ON EARTH BUY THAT ONE?
>BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton raised eyebrows on her first visit to Europe as secretary of state when she mispronounced her EU counterparts' names and claimed U.S. democracy was older than Europe's.
Clinton has set herself a grueling pace on visits to Egypt, Israel and Brussels soon after touring the Far East, attending dozens of meetings and giving speech after speech, with little time worked into her schedule for sleep.
Tiredness appeared to show Friday when she answered questions in front of 500 young Europeans at the European Parliament, where she was the highest-ranking U.S. visitor since the late U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1985.
A veteran politician, Clinton compared the complex European political environment to that of the two-party U.S. system, before adding:
"I have never understood multiparty democracy.
"It is hard enough with two parties to come to any resolution, and I say this very respectfully, because I feel the same way about our own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European democracy."
The remark provoked much headshaking in the parliament of a bloc that likes to trace back its democratic tradition thousands of years to the days of classical Greece.
One working lunch later with EU leaders, Clinton raised more eyebrows when she referred to EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, who stood beside her, as "High Representative Solano."
She also dubbed European Commission External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner as "Benito."
Still, Clinton has been well received in Brussels, where the Obama administration has been viewed as a breath of fresh air after the unpopular leadership of George W. Bush. His secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, often drew protests on her travels.
Fellow foreign ministers stood and applauded Clinton's presentation at a meeting with NATO counterparts Thursday and extra space had to be set aside for a spillover audience of 800 at the European Parliament.
Parliament President Hans-Gert Poettering was effusive in his praise, saying that with the new administration, the United States and Europe once again "share the same values."
"What you said mostly could have been said by a European," he told Clinton after she fielded questions ranging from climate change to energy security and aid to Africa and one on gay rights from a participant wearing an "I love Hillary" t-shirt.<

although in her defense, democracy has not "been around" in monarchies just because Greeks had it and lost it before Christ was born
>>GENEVA
wants to direct
it don't mean crap until we blow up an Airbus proving/disproving it!!!
>>1, Jesus' endorsement of the murderous immorality of Yahweh in the Torah<<
Based on what? Your subjective mores?
>>2, Jesus' doctrine of "eternal punishment" in the "eternal fire" of Hell<<
What is a "successful" doctrine? One year less a day?
>>3, Jesus' failure to claim actual divinity<<
He does several times.
>>4, Jesus' failed prophecy of his imminent return<<
Where?
>>5, Jesus' failure to competently reveal his doctrines (concerning e.g. salvation, hell, divorce, circumcision, and diet) in his own written account or that of an eyewitness<<
By "competent" I take you mean on pleading paper, properly captioned, in the form of an affadavit, dated and signed, witnessed, and notarized?
>>6, Jesus' failure to perform miracles the accounts of which cannot be so easily explained as faith-healing, misinterpretation, exaggeration, and embellishment <<
You would explain away miracles as faith-healing? "Oh that's no miracle, that's just psychosomatic spotaneous regeneration!"
>>7, Jesus' failure to attract significant notice (much less endorsement) in the only detailed contemporaneous history of first-century Palestine<<
Are you in the AAA guide?
How can you claim to exist then?
>>8, Jesus' failure to recruit :
a) Anyone from his family<<
His Mother.
>>b) Any acquaintance from before his baptism<<
His "cousins", and his "brothers and sisters"
>>c) A majority of Palestinian Jews
d) Even some of those who heard his words and witnessed his alleged miracles.<<
This is discussed in the Gospels. If you don't know what Jesus said then you really aren't debating "Jesus" but "somebody else's God". It is like condemning Galileo without reading Galileo, but, arguing what you imagine somebody in Galileo's shoes shoulda oughta have said, and then being mad Galileo didn't say your speech.
didnt you see "Flight of the Phoenix"? a model aircraft is not a toy!!!
it takes 1 100kg Jew to put the brake on a train.
That seemed funnier when I wrote it, guess I shouldn't stay up until 8 am if I'm gonna tell jokes
"You might not agree with Obama, but you are now a minority, this means there won't be a civil war because what you have now is what the people wanted. I know its hard to accept when you are wrong,"
How does losing an election make us wrong? Hitler took power through parliamentary democracy. Did that make his critics, wrong?
BTW your theory that Obama governs as he promised is wobbly. As late as October, when Palin said Obama was a socialist, she was called a kook pandering to the far right base.
"but deal with it."
We do, that's why we mention political violence as one form of dealing with it.
"What I love about some of you though is your complete disregard for what yo uhave said before. Not to long ago someone could of said how shit Bush had done compared to Clinton, and the standrad type response from the idiotic right wing-ers from here would be "Clinton didn't do good, he ran the economy into the ground, he was given a great economy from Bush sr & Regan then preceeded to ruin it, so that when Bush came in it was shaky and he did his best, and better than a democrat would of done." So the general theme was the economic trend for a president's term(s) came from the one before. Regan/Bush = good times for Clinton, who in tern = bad times for bush. However now we are in the worst economic crises, which has happened at the end of Bush jr's 2nd term and somehow it is Obama's fault? well done guys, prooving us 'left wing weaners' right all along..."
maybe some here, except, I said when Bush started bailouts instead of throwing people into Chapter 11, that it was a crock, and a failure of planning, that it was a blank check open-ended commitment to pay whatever these unaudited crooks seek from Uncle Sucker, that recovery would be halted because government was willing to assume all risks and strip all rewards so private money would sit it out and wait for better times. So when Obama does it I am repeating myself when I condemn him for it. In addition they have that stupid Obama/McCain cap and trade proposal for harmless gases, and higher taxes, and have decided certain sectors of the national economy are naughty by nature and need a good spanking. So Obama is doing more than just repeating Bush's mistakes, as I've said.
Yeah but. Until the lift from forward velocity is sufficient to cancel out gravity its still gonna put weight DOWN onto the wheel. That's why it has wheels instead of legs, so it can still move while pushing down. A VTOL gets around that by having engine thrust go to lifting the plane up. Releived of the need to fight gravity, moderate lateral engine thrust builds airspeed. If the speed of the conveyor belt was equal to ENGINE thrust (not wheel speed) the plane would just bob up and down in place.
Now, how many 100kg Jews would it take to stop a freight train weighing 1,000,000 kg moving 50kp/h?
CA needs to make more water. But ecology requires we fight urban sprawl by packing people into dense urban areas. It also means we don't build "failed" technolgies like coal and fission to fuel them or generate fresh water. It also means we don't destroy pristine wildlife areas with renewable energy production.
How do we succeed then?
Simple! We don't, and that is why Ahnuld is over there telling you how great we are instead of stuck on the phone arguing about it in sacramento
Why are they exclusive?
"Give each other AIDS" that's insensitive! I'd settle for swapping mono
When Blair first met Bush there was a flurry of activity over the right pants for the meeting, so I dunno if this is much of a flop if Brown at least got to dress himself
If Europe doesn't know about "movie a month" clubs, we can make book raping them-- er, we can invest in the European economy!
Bebothers and fusticates dwarves
Yah so the belt would have toi move itself and the plane atop it faster than the plane's jet engines moved the plane. And even then if the plane "tacked" a few degrees, say the belt runs N-S and the pilot steers NNE then the belt is not fully countering the drag on the plane.
I call on the EU to build such a belt in Switzerland and run it once a month for a few seconds.
