I saw her on a cooking show once. Was disgusted that she wore huge rings while handling food. Those things can get all sorts of nasty junk in them. She should be fired for demonstrating non-sanitary food preparation. At least that's current. ...

I'll stay in the lane that's merging, moving slowly with the merged traffic, c^%$ blocking all those folks that think they should get to zoom past the politely merged drivers to cut into the front of the line. Why in the hell do they think they are more important than everyone else? Sure, I've pissed off a lot of zoomers, but the merged folks ALWAYS save me a place in line. Is this wrong? there shouldn't be open road. I don't blame the guy moving to the end (unless he's ridiculous in his speed). I blame the people merging WAY early and leaving an empty lane over there. It's not polite to merge early, it's confusing. But I still agree with your method for different reasons. Simple - zipper merging 1 - both people go all the way to the merge point - 2 - and alternate there early merging early is inefficient and kinda dumb. Your method actually helps by filling in the merging lane behind you as you slowly pull into the straight lane at the last instant. I'll do the same thing, if people are merging early in front of me, I'll pick the slot I would merge if it was my turn and stay next to it until the merge point. I'm not trying to piss off or control the budgers, I'm just not a fan of people screaming by at ridiculous speeds. Once they ride the shoulder to budge, then that's the line that's crossed.

I think it's a lot of fun. And on par with car racing, bowling, shooting, bow shooting, golf, and water ballet - as far as the old "sport vs activity" argument goes I don't care what someone calls it. I just enjoy the activity. Worry less about what others think and you'll have less rants and healthier blood pressure. ...

the left wing needs to stop doing that stuff - absolutely We'd be a very color blind society by now if it wasn't such a great business and political leverage to try and manufacture it all the time. Let that dead horse actually die. side note "Uncle Thomas" huh? I know about 3 or 4 here will think that was a great comment, but they are lost causes. Here's the chance for dems to stop the double standard and call that comment for what it is too. I think they will. Most people on both sides are getting disgusted with the partisan crap going on in Washington. It actually did take voting in a criminal/crony based admin that's so unashamed of their chicago gangster politics that it's just public and out there for everyone to see. that guy was just doing what everyone smiles and nods at - this time he got called out - before, you could say "anything" of any kind as long as the topic is left-centric and you'd be a hero. SURPRISE - the 'regular' guy, left or right, isn't supporting that hypocrisy any more. Let's see if the Dem leadership even sees the reality that coming and changes to the better. Congressmen - Then we just need to get rid of the social dinosaurs on the right, the bigots and self-entitled and criminal on the left. Maybe we'll end up with a couple parties that actually try..... ...

Conveniently portayed as a pasty-faced Euro-Caucasian? Check.

We might not get into the 'special' club of snotty judgmentalism. Pretty much every single adoption theme the nice adopted parent makes a comment about them having 'another father'. But Kevin Costner did deliver the "Of course I'm your father" scene really well. I'm pretty sure in the Lethal Weapons, both Mel Gibson and Danny Glover were hung up on a structure and tortured as well at various points. Of course, Mel has an insidious agenda as we all know. I suspect Danny has been subverted by the religious right over the last three decades. the theme are used EVERYWHERE - it's a comfortable symbolism in the culture - and that's what's really bugging some people. ...

I appreciated that aspect, actually. They were trying to show the level of power that these beings had. It's a bit 1930ish to want the happy scene where bystanders aren't hurt at all by a conflict of that scope. A more gritty portrayal was warranted and I thought they pulled it off well. ...

oh - there were plenty of references and imagery, but that imagery is used all the time. It didn't seem over the top at all. but I'm sure there's more to it, but quade's being coy instead of just putting out the details.

see, that's a weird one. He was found as an infant and John and Martha are contemporary. but the other ship was surrounded by 16,000 year old ice?

I was upset at the end of Jacob's Ladder. Pissed off that the writers had his death vision ending with him walking up the staircase into a light. I was jaded as such an obviously push of a standard Christian theme being jammed down the throats of the audience. RIGGHHT - Tim Robbins agrees to push a religious agenda. Then I woke up and noted that it was a pretty normal fit based on the nature of the character and the plot direction. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad, it was just writing a plot and staying with the character roles. ...

finally saw it. - one or two interesting visuals - bearded male, laying in the water strategic background in a couple scenes - even a parallelism with a child crying out against his fate - self sacrifice - some pretty 'standard' fare really - I just as well be cynical about any time that Obama stands at a speech and spreads his arms....hell, the guy even turned the other cheek a few times....there must be a plot - a Kansas farmer and his son barely referenced faith in a couple scenes - bit deal. This fit the characters. What would have been silly was farmer Johnathon Kent sipping a latte at an internet cafe and crying about global warming - we see that religious message all the time, but I don't see any posts started about that. the thread context, now that I've seen the movie, is full of it. they used some pretty typical imagery and subthemes. pulling a big ol' 'religious fanatic' image theory out of the movie is reaching for it unless one is living in a fantasy of secular dominance and denial that a significant part of the population has some form of life outside of PC stereotypes. In short - sure, there were references, but we see those all the time in lots of films. What I do see is some context noting personal responsibility, courtesy, protecting the weak, self control, self denial, and loyalty to country being advocated. Also, a clear 'thumbs down' to governmental control of choices and life roles - so I can see why certain people would have a bad taste since they weren't being fed the same stuff they want. But nothing really special. thought the character development wasn't done very efficiently - the plot dragged on pretty bad many times, the visuals were a bit difficult on the eyes at times, glad I didn't sit up front. I might have it once the BR comes out, but I wouldn't go to the theater again. Still better than any of the Chris Reeve ones or even the last one. I like that they started with Zod instead of Lex in this offering. ...
