• My Best, Your Worst

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 129
  The WIRED folks have put out an article [Link] entitled “Best Sci-Fi Flicks of the ’60s, ’70s, According to You”, which is fairly descriptive. About all it really seems to do is illustrate how absolutely WRONG surveys can be. The movies cited are: La Jetée (1962) Missed this one somehow. No comment. ...

• Now On My Shitlist: Roland Emmerich.

  
  Blast-O-Rama — Authority: 431
  It takes a lot for me to want to make a filmmaker to go away and die. The latest to enter that very short list, Roland Emmerich . Sure, I like a lot of people, enjoyed Independence Day . It was a fun, escapist Fourth of July flick. I even liked Stargate ! But since then, oh how his filmography just wore through ...

• Trencher Trash Talk

  
  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 129
  One of the things I have been mulling this week arises from a rather under-discussed bit on the Guardian Science podcast. It seems the English government climate tzar, Lord Stern, has announced that it is necessary for humanity to become vegetarians to ’save the planet’. [Link] I almost missed this on the ...

• The Seth Macfarlane Code: DECRYPTED

  
  Blast-O-Rama — Authority: 431
  I like Seth MacFarlane a lot.  Dude seems like a great guy, seems to be having the time of his life, and despite what his cartoons may make you believe, he comes across as a super intelligent guy. Heck, even during an episode of the Adam Carolla Podcast , I realized – he and I may not be that different ...

  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 129
  Thursday is my day to listen to Melvyn, Lord Bragg’s “In Out Time” and Jesse Brown’s “Search Engine” at gym. I save the best for last. The IOT ‘cast dealt with the Anabaptists and the Siege of Münster. The SE ‘cast dealt with the incarceration of the Iranian ‘Blogfather’ and the inaction of the ...

  Prairie Sun Rising — Authority: 111
  . Joe Lie-berman and the friendly folk at Fox news have been quick to ramp up the Fort Hood shootings into national security. Hearings to come. Not to be outdone, Senator John McCain joins in the fray at an event for Mitch McConnell: "This may sound a little harsh, but I think we ought to make sure that political ...

• Positive Cynicism - Maybe Hollywood just hates us

  
  HoboTrashcan — Authority: 128
  Aaron R. Davis I don’t like it when people see a bunch of potentially awful movies in production and say “Oh, Hollywood is finally out of ideas,” as if Hollywood has ever been a place of stunning originality and remakes are a recent phenomena. But even I have to admit that some recent movie news that ...

  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 129
  I got used to this philosophy when I was working for the Yankee army, but seeing this cartoon, [Link] puts me in mind that it’s an acceptable outcome to the Joe Consumer who wants an appliance, which is the message the cartoonist wanted to convey. It’s not the one organizations want to convey. They want to ...

  Thoughts and Ruminations — Authority: 111
  Our country is in desperate need of citizens who rise from the malaise of work and mindless television to play an active role in shaping the future of our society.  We are cynical, jaded people about the problems of the world primarily because we haven’t had a way modeled for us to find joy and [...]

  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 129
  Miscegenation. Such an underused word these days when relativism has become the rule and morality has become spatial. The Neandertal genome project has produced some furor in the media. Seems that researchers at the Max Planck Institut have opined that neandertals and sapiens did indeed have sexual congress. [Link] ...
