This was on Fark, so you guys have probably seen it, but I found it so extraordinary I didn't want anybody to miss it. In World War I, evidently they'd send people forward to sketch enemy fortifications and such, since it was more reliable than photography. This guy Len Smith was incredibly talented at it, but he was never decorated for it, didn't really tell anybody about it, ...

Loved the original, was looking forward to the US version in a nostalgic need-to-watch-in-memory-of-Sam sort of way. Then... Then I heard that Colm Meaney was playing Gene Hunt. Should be pretty good. Then... oh, then... Take a look at the preview . Not Colm Meaney. No. Harvey Keitel It looks visually close to...

Chances are, I'm not going to watch Jade , but I'm curious about it because of its pop culture reputation as a classic stinker. I was perusing Roger Ebert's review of the movie and two things made me curious. Quote: Originally Posted by Roger Ebert A hooker who worked there points the cops toward the mysterious "Jade," ...

You may also exile its star(s) and/or producers to -- oh, let's say Mordor. I'll go with Nancy Grace and its eponymous host. There are worse people in the world, but few more annoying, willfully stupid, and implicitly racist.

I've been invited to a potluck style Thanksgiving dinner on the weekend. Since I was the last person to email back to the hosts, I have been assigned the boring task of bringing bread and butter. I was thinking it would be cool to make bread myself to make it more special and interesting - I mean, someone else is bringing a turkey, for crying out loud! I can't just bring a loaf ...

They don't have to be political figures and they can live at any time present past or future. My number one pick would probably be Mr. Spock. His mother's American so he should be qualified. He's not an exciting sort but I think his logic and foresightedness would be perfect. Failing that, Michael Corleone. Also highly logical, knows when to use force but prefers diplomacy...

I'm thinking of America's rating system, which contains G, PG, PG-13, R and NC-17. My wife and I watched Beowulf last night, and this was clearly an R rated movie. It's not that we minded that much, though if we had a 13-14 year old child, we would have been quite shocked. We know it was a "cartoon", but the nudity and violence were very over the top and very realistic. Terminator 2...

Okay, that may be a slight hyperbole. Maybe not a million, but at perhaps a free dinner or lunch if they're ever in the area? Hahah, I'm serious because this song has been stuck in my mind for MONTHS, yet I don't know: 1. Who sings it. 2. The name of it. 3. Any other lines other than one line (which is basically just one word repeating). I have sang this one line, ...

So I just saw Iron Man last night. I had to wait for it to be on DVD, since there is no english dialogue theater near me. Iron Man was always one of my favorite superheroes when I was kid, but I hate the wya they turned into a gigantic asshole in the Civil War Storyline. But about the movie. I enjoyed it, I loved seeing Iron Man in live action. A few things bugged me though. Once ...

Hmmm....this was not a great episode. So Sylar can overcome his hunger and become normal? Why is Claire so bad? I thought Peter could heal. This show is looking lost, and not the good kind of lost like LOST.

I tell myself stories all the time to keep myself entertained. I've been using a superhero character but I don't like the codename I have for her, so I thought I'd ask all the brilliant people here for help. She's a fire mage - she can do anything that's fire related or can be thought of in fire terms, including illusions, pyrokinesis, transformations, etc. (I also stretch it to include ...

The last couple of weeks have not been fun. Ike destroyed my Taekwondo school, Work has been annoying beyond belief and I'm having physical issues. I've been stressed worse than I ever thought possible. Then I went to see this movie. Laughter is truly the best medicine. I have not laughed so hard in a long time. Go see this one, folks. It is absolutely hilarious.

James Taylor was on the Colbert Report the other night promoting his new album Covers . The cleverly title album is filled entirely with covers of other people's songs. Got me thinking: What other artists, after already establishing themselves with their own original songs, have put out albums entirely comprised of their interpretations of the works of other songwriters? Elvis ...

Inspired by the Favorite Last Lines thread, what are your favorite first lines of a book or movie? Here's mine, from Pigs Don't Fly by Mary Brown. "My mother was the village whore, and I loved her very much."

Firstly, I'm pretty sure that 'Atheistic' isn't really a word, but I didn't know how else to say it. I went to the local (Calgary, AB) premiere of this movie tonight and I walked out of it with mixed thoughts. The editing was fairly 'judicious' in that it seemed to be cut to maximize how ridiculous some of the participants came across (not that it was probably difficult, some of the ...
