1 Sniff. Sniff. It does have a good smell

2 At the risk of being called a world-class Grinch (not the first time), may I state the obvious? Take Your Children to Work Day is a colossal, idiotic waste of time and resources.

1. Parents get nothing productive done. Nothing. Between taking the urchins to the rest room, vending machines, etc. and loading Company-proscribed computer games to keep them occupied, it’s an in-house vacation day. Plus, the company devotes resources and personnel to host them. Those balloons and “Welcome kids!” banners don’t put themselves up.
      
2. Kids don’t care what you do for a living. They really don’t. Unless you’re a lion tamer or something, it’s primarily a day off school to them. “Bobby! Check out this wicked spreadsheet!”
      
3. Parents insist on introducing you to their kids which, in addition to forcing you to make awkward small talk with an eight year old stranger, brings the situation of the actual introduction. Is it offered using honorific and surname, given name and surname (gasp), or just given name (horrors)? “Hey, (eight year old) Susie, this is Kurt!” Happened to me a couple years ago. In response, I extended my hand and said “I’m Mr. Biedlingmaier. Nice to meet you”.
       
4. Kids are LOUD. A group of six year olds running with gleeful abandon across the raised floor of a computer room sounds like thoroughbreds coming down the stretch at the Kentucky Derby. Oh, and inside voice, please.
      
5. ItÂ’s in APRIL. What idiot thought that was a good idea? Kids have off all summer

7 Resuming the Kubrick discussion...

I liked 2001 okay since I was a big Arthur C. Clarke fan. It was a mishmash of a couple of his short stories. But I've watched it at home once or twice and the reaction from my college-age daughter is always, "I don't get why they put those monkeys in it."

9 Fav Kubrick film is FMJ. But it was like two movies. A good one in the boot camp scenes thanks to R. Lee Ermey and a shitty one in the Vietnam scenes.



And contrary to Walter Frakin Conkite, the Tet Offensive was a horrible failure for the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese.

85 I'm going to double down, since I want all of you to hate me.

EYES WIDE SHUT is a good movie. A conservative movie.

It says that marriage does not stop the roving-eye effect, in men or women. It says that whatever you fantasise about, it's best kept to yourself; you will have choices and temptations all your married life, and it's not wise to take the wrong path. It notes as an aside that the ultra-rich / -powerful aren't Nice People (true: Walter Duranty actually did attend orgies like that, with Alastair Crowley no less).

The message is: stay faithful, don't go places you shouldn't, and try not to get too mad at the other person's stray fantasies if the other person has no intention of acting on these

88 Clarke wrote this short story called The Sentinel.  Astronauts exploring the moon discover a mountain with the top neatly sliced off.  In the middle of the resulting plateau sat a pyramid.  Strangely, the entire artificial plateau was perfectly smooth and untouched by meteorite craters.

As soon as the astronauts approached, it beamed a powerful signal into space.

The explanation was that the pyramid had been placed on the moon millions of years earlier by something that had come through the galaxy looking for life.  When something from the adjacent planet (Earth) developed enough technology to get to the moon, they pyramid notified ... something.  The story ended with the open question of who was notified, and why, and what would happen next?

That was the basic premise that the 2001 screenplay developed from.  The monkeys were put in later because hey, who doesn't like monkeys?

That was the one on the moon.  In the book the one on Earth actually took control of their bodies and put their hands and wrist through their paces to see if the apes were good material to work with.  It's always flat black in the movie but if I remember correctly, in the book a target appears and the monolith forces the apes to throw rocks at it until they get the idea.

RGIII goes second.  Shocker!

127 O'Reilly just interviewed some social justice idiot Catholic on the idiot's criticism of Paul Ryan. Gotta say, O'Reilly did a great job of showing this guy as a slogan babbling idiot with no sense of reality. He used every liberal slogan there is to justify unlimited spending on welfare. "dignity", "hand up, not hand out" , "grinding poverty". My solution to idiots like this is to force them to live in inner city Detroit, so they can see what dependence on government handouts has done to the culture of poor people. O'Reilly brought up how much money we are spending every year on the poor, gave the statistic that spending trillions has barely made a dent in poverty. Then he told this guy that if he brought poor people on his show, O'Reilly could talk to them and figure out exactly why they are poor: addiction, dropping out of school, etc, It was a good segment.

130 As soon as the astronauts approached, it beamed a powerful signal into space.

Again, if I remember correctly, there was a force field on top of the mountain that only a nuclear weapon could get through so, of course, we used one on it.  So they wanted to know when we could leave the atmosphere and had nuclear power.

Of course, that was when the aliens still had corporal bodies and needed to worry about competitors.  By 2001 I don't think they cared.

156 I live in the seattle area and am watching the local news.    They opened their broadcast with an "investigative reporting" segment on the secret service bringing strippers back to their hotel rooms in El Salvador.  It was hilarious. They actually sent a local guy to El Salvador to report on this because they got some tip from somebody, or something.  It was mostly typical local reporting crap (the reporter asking - in english - some bouncer at one of the strip clubs if he remembered the president's trip - a year ago - and the guy looking at him like he's crazy and then answering something - in spanish - that basically told him to go pound sand).

However, the part that really made me laugh was when they showed footage of the strippers (blurred out of course) and the reporter said something along the lines of "the agents came here to watch strippers perform acts that are illegal back in the US."  I really just think this whole expos'e was just an excuse for the reporter and his crew to take a trip overseas and visit some hard-core strip clubs.

Hudson Hawk has the added defect that it could have been a good movie, if someone had had the courage to put the brakes on Bruce Willis the same way others have done with Robin Williams or Jim Carrey.  There was a self-referential, self-mocking core there that could have been exploited to great effect (see Oceans 11 to....Oceans ad infinitum) and a unique Vatican and Da Vinci-themed McGuffin that was actually ahead of its time.

As a Redskins fan, some of the fans are really out there concerning Griffin III. When there was a rumor that the Colts may take him, they started to get pissed off because then the Redskins would get Luck. Talk about a facepalm.

214 Cicero: "That was the basic premise that the 2001 screenplay developed from. The monkeys were put in later because hey, who doesn't like monkeys?"

I figured it was more a marker of human evolution. Early man (monkee or pre-Homo erectus) discovered tools and could collaborate and control others. Next, Man could collaborate and control something else (machines). Next, Man could create artificial intelligence that developed its own consciousness. At that point Machine was "alive" and Man had evolved to create it. He had become "God." At that point higher beings found Man capable and welcomed him to the Higher Beings club. Man had evolved to the beginning of an endpoint and joined with the stars/heavens. Man had evolved to "gods" and the Monoliths were markers along the path.

One thing I loved about the film beyond its technical brilliance was the open interpretation the film invited. It just compels you to ask, "What does it mean?" Ultimately it's a thinking film where many interpretations are reasonable. It doesn't tell you the answer explicitly. It's art.

From Truman's link at @157


The memo is crystal clear on that point. It says that the decision has been made based solely on the “risk profile presented to the President.” If any other risks – no matter how minute – arose, they were “to be brought back to the President for his consideration.” This is ludicrous. It is wiggle room. It was Obama’s way of carving out space for himself in case the mission went bad. If it did, he’d say that there were additional risks of which he hadn’t been informed; he’d been kept in the dark by his military leaders.

Finally, the memo is unclear on just what the mission is. Was it to capture Bin Laden or to kill him? The White House itself was unable to decide what the mission was in the hours after the Bin Laden kill, and actually switched its language. The memo shows why: McRaven was instructed to “get” Bin Laden, whatever that meant.

President Obama made the right call to give the green light to the mission. But he did it in a way that he could shift the blame if things went wrong. Typical Obama. And typical of him to claim full credit for it, when he didnÂ’t do anything but give a vague nod, while putting his top military officials at risk of taking the hit in case of a bad turn.

It's a crutch. The reason why the sex scene happens in a horror movie just before someone gets killed is to key you up. It's easier to move you from the f*** response to the flight response than it is to move you straight to flight.

If you watch it now it's simultaneously bland and skeevy, and seems to massively miss the point of the book. 2001? Enh. Subverts Clarke's whole body of work; it's really an anti-science fiction film. Plus it's really fucking slow. Full Metal? Enh. Would have been striking in 1968, but twenty years later it's just an exercise in Lefty mythologizing. Eyes Wide Shut? Jesus, no. Not even successful as porn, and requires a society with pre-1970 sexual mores for the plot to make any goddamned sense.

And for God's sake don't get me started on A.I.

345 There's one shot in Strangelove which sums up the political/cultural divide in America. When the Army are storming the air base, the camera lingers on a hangar with the slogan "PEACE IS OUR PROFESSION" painted on the side.

To Stanley and his pals, that was a hilarious irony. See, it's a MILITARY base full of NUCLEAR WEAPONS, but they think they're promoting PEACE! Endless laughter among the Upper West Side set.

To Air Force airmen and people who respect the armed services, it's simply a statement of fact.

Ever wonder why SCoaMF's speeches sound like a 3rd grade civics lesson, interspersed with marxist tripe? There's a scientific reason - http://scoamf.us/sW

Here is how it works. He asks you to imagine sixteen months, so you do. You follow where the storyteller

takes your mind and so you try to imagine thousands of miles, and continue following along where he leads

you. However, the conscious mind cannot imagine a million voices, the number is too big

132, though

Obama tricks you with the first two numbers into trying, by leading you down a path of increasingly

difficult concepts to imagine

consciously. Notice how cleverly he leads you down a path which causes the

dominant hemisphere to be distracted, and tune out of trying to do exactly what he is asking you to do.

Your mind tries to imagine a million and is distracted, sent off on an assignment it canÂ’t perform, tuning out,

and exposing your subconscious mind. This is a calculated and pre-scripted hypnotic induction technique,

and the only specific and logical explanation that makes any sense for what he is saying. Does this seem a

bit too unlikely to be coincidence? What other purpose for this could there be for this language to be

delivered exactly this way? What is he even talking about?
