much habaloohaded as a grand event this pic, the true event was me
actually going to the cinema, which i havent done in years and wont be
doing in years, and actually writing a long review, rare in the me o
centric world where critics complain about graded reviews cuz it
unempowers them, producers complain about actresses cuz they get their
balls seduced for millions or erich fromm titles his book fear of
freedom forgetting wittgenstein's beautiful prose, but the whole thing
was too goddam amusing and day after tomorrow amusing. stars woody
harrelson speaking truth to power like a left wing foucaultian turned
postmodernist stewe turned glenn beck karpov, but more importantly a
bunch of considerably amusing babes in the cast.

now, i prefer day after tomorrow thou this one be better, undeniably
so not only for collapsing l.a. far improved over a flooded ny, i mean
please... emmerich's 2004 one was in effect downright silly with
dennis quaid looking for his kid, but the geek's boy scout's
competition and the girl he had the hots for were too damn
fetichistic. when i remember them yabberin on about competing, book
burning nietszches or the flooding of the library and ny scene i think
not of intelligence but of pleasure, naturellement, and it just
happened to tick.

plus i was a different kid in 2004, and like with babes, the
circumstances are very important, more in what i explored in my thesis
babe phenomenology, i.e., it aint the same watching the scavenger
hunt, that loony thing from 1979, when you're 10 or when you're 40.

as for this one, well, emmerich, apart from a few binaries, at least
has credible ppl in this pic. then it's all that yabberin on bout how
naive the scientist what was really going on around him, for example.
i mean, really, cusack and family, even the karpov abramovichesque guy
kinda ring true this time. but just compare cusack's character to
quaid's, it's like graduating in the university of life compared

now, catholicism falling on christianity will interest them, or the
same ones who thought kingdom of heaven thought provoking, its all
just money, said the imam to bill maher, adding i thought you were
more intelligent, lets not forget, this time the right hurts like in
independance day or mars attacks it was the left alien lovers that
were zapped in satire, but mostly its messy, a bit like surveillance
by jonathan mostow, messy good cuz we're in post-politics, only this
time it's amusing and there isnt an odious bottom line, with willis
getting rid of pyjama life, only cuz something about his wife when it
was prolly just their fault, and he's forgotten what a drag life was
before...

i was expecting more irony thou, but it barely went past the initial
scientist relaxing with frozen water just before informing us of the
overheating future prospects. the rest of the jokes were run of the
mill wanks, as dudley moore would put it, but still good. and
harrelson's vid was beyond charming, not to mention his bum crack in
the mountains, more epiphanies, like 'no he's not crazy' cusack says
of the guy, are around and about in future screenings, thou, cuz more
often than not, this will be very watchable on the small screen, too,
without adverts, you know where, unlike utter crap like star trek.
abrams isnt up to bruckheimer's or emmerich's level, and emmerich one
ups bruckheimer with this one, btw, cuz of the special effects and
characters

you may remark on my ungrammatical manners or you might enmark my
tendency to interest my selves in characters in big budget pics, well
what can i say, and im quite sure the ending is a misreading of the
end of before sunset similar to the misreading the guy in 500 days of
summer does of the graduate, thou i didnt understand the latter
misreading, i'd say i prolly misread it. impossible to negate little
old glover and the monk going back to the sea, a bit like le corbusier
and religion and so on,

Aside: When this show trial ends in disaster, with the
master terrorist getting off on any of many possible
technicalities, such as not having been read his (now
applicable) Miranda rights, Obama might be assured of
being a one-term president. (As when Ford pardoned
Nixon.) Talk about silver linings.

Another run for Bush is just silly. A one-term Obama
is a reasonable possibility. He is infuriating a lot of
voters, and a trial that convicts America and not the
terrorist, though it might please you, would displease
many millions. It's going to be quite a show.
I think you will find that this trial captures the public
interest, maybe not as much as the O.J. trial, but way
up there.

It seems clear to me that BHO doesnt care about a second term. He's
perfectly willing to sign anything he can get through congress and live with
the anger, resentment, and political backlash it will cause.

If whats-his-name is not convicted, BHO will be in the absurd position of
detaining him anyway! The ostensible rationale then blows up in BHOs face!
Instead of demonstrating our capacity for justice, detention after acquittal
will just make us look like a banana republic. There is really no upside to
this strategy (for the USA, that is...plenty for those who hate the USA) and
tremendous downside...even if conviction is a virtual certainty.

Im still "hoping" that he will "change" his mind.

He's infuriating those who voted for change, and those who would never
have voted for him in any case.

If the economy is good, he will be re-elected. If it is mediocre,
it depends on who the Republicans nominate.

He's infuriating me with this closed-door business while his henchmen
write the health insurance bill. This is tyranny! This is madness! Why

What change did they want? He's pushing the country from
free enterprise toward socialism. I thought that's the change
the libs wanted. And he's apologizing to the world for the
Bush administration. I thought the libs wanted that too. And
he wants to cripple industry with global warming regulations.
I thought the libs wanted that also. Not to mention the trillion
buck 'stimulus' bill that was only pork and election slush funding.
Not enough for the libs? What about the attempted takeover
of the healtcare system by the government? What in the
world will it take to placate the libs who voted for 'hope and
change'? Burning Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rove at the

I'm worried about you, calvin. You seem to be on the brink of suicide.
Firstly, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rove are not only white trash,
they're also war criminals, and at least two of them committed an act of
treason in the Plame incident. "Free enterprise toward socialism" is
just trash talk, because Obama wants to take of people let to die in the
streets by the Bush admin. No, that isn't an exaggeration.
"Apologizing to the world for the Bush administration?" Does he have
any other choice? The U.S. has embarrassed themselves, not only in
terms of geopolitics, but now in terms of their economic mess. I don't
want to live in a third world country owned by China you stupid son of a
bitch. Global warming? What's wrong with taking care of God's green
Earth? You GOP hypocrites are all about your religion and family
values, but when it comes to taking care of the planet, it's "fuck God
and his creation." Couldn't you, just once, say something that doesn't
make you sound like a stupid asshole?

What else. The stimulus? I can see why that would bother you because
we are no longer on the verge of economic collapse. Within his first
100 days Obama saved the entire world from economic ruin. Maybe he is
the messiah. The health care system? See my above comments about dying
in the streets. Basically, you're a dinosaur, calvin. The world is no
longer about trillion dollar defense budgets. That was childish and
wasteful, and went on for decades. Now we're about taking care of our
people and the planet. You can wriggle and moan all you want, but
ultimately you're just going to go the way of the dinosaur too.

Calvin is not hateful and abusive. And Im allowed to have some fun once in

But to understand that point, you have to be willing and able to draw

Yawn. I'm getting tired of anonymous twats such as yourself deluding

She's not my choice for 2012, but she would be better
than Obama. Rush Limbaugh interviewed her for a half
hour yesterday, and asked only policy questions, no
personal questions. On everything, foreign and domestic,
she had a well thought out response. Good interviews
are those that allow the one interviewed to say what he or
she thinks, unchallenged. Then we know what the candidate
has to offer. 'Gotcha' interviews serve no purpose except
stifling and discrediting the one interviewed.

Exactly. A liberal interviewer is happy to let a liberal
candidate express himself or herself. Likewise for
conservative/conservative. The trouble comes when
the interviewer poses as 'unbiased' or 'fair' and then
proceeds to try to skewer the candidate; sometimes
unconsciously, because some liberals, of whom you
are a prime example, often think that they are normal
people ideologically, in a world consisting only of
normal people and right wingers.

(not), it may be that I can point to at least a few such personalities

There's an interesting juxtaposition available for any fair-minded
people who might be lurking around these parts. First watch
the Palin interviews with Hannity and O'Reilly at the FoxNews
website tonight, where you will see a good and strong woman,
also knowledgeable of the issues, and well able to explain herself,
eg. her "what do you read" answer. Then go to the MSNBC
website and see the vicious, sneering, snickering attacks on her
and for those and other interviews. The contrast is startling. It's
shameful and depressing to see how the media representatives
of the left behave. And you can bet that Bill Maher, Jon Stewart,
and their guests are behaving equally badly, all the while
congratulating themselves. It's on nights like tonight that I have
no doubt about being on the right and moral side of politics in
America.

All the Whos down in Whoville,
Compared to a plant,
A most terrible slant,
Or compared to a rock,
Which would rot a Who Sock,
Will come round to your house and will all yell
"Woohoo!"
