Gorgon

The Dutch commander was outnumbered and surrendered, obviously there was a great error on the tactical side as well in not having suficient forces to be a real deterrent. The story goes that the Dutch had no idea what was happening as they were held hostage and isolated, but I think it's fair to assume that they could guess well enough. In any case it did a lot to further ridicule the UN forces. The timeline of the massacre is very well documented, we have sattelite imagery of the bulldozed mass graves, but a sort of urban myth has sprung up that it was all a hoax.

*gets popcorn*

yeah, plus a fee for paying with a credit card, which in my bank at least is more than 3 euros, so these micro transactions don't really work for me, I have to lump a lot of stuff together for it to make sense.

Painkiller is a good bad game, but it's full throttle all the time and once your suggar rush subsides you will lose interest.

Is that a fake. I don't even know what that is in the background, but it seems like someone ought to have filtered it to look affected by the atmosphere rather than just pasting it in.

I understand Borderlands is kinda like a mmorpheger. You do the same areas over and over again in cooperative mode. I was underwhelmed by the gameplay video, but I could be wrong. Has anyone actually played it.

Because all that real poontang would make them entirely forget about graphic representations.

Approximately 80% of everything sucks. How many times have you listened to an album and concluded that there were only 3 or 4 tracks that you liked.

It has been my consistant observation that popular mostly sucks, this is because you can't please everyone, and because you have to sacrifice too much in trying to do so.

You know, like the new Indiana Jones. It's like Lucas went back in a time machine and destroyed an important segment of your childhood.

It's worse because it killed the part of your soul that though the new star wars would be awesome.

Ehh.. It never occurred to you that this is still a male-oriented and male-dominated world? Are you sure we live in the same world ?.

Those are great examples of things that are awesome. You thought episode one was fab ?. I mean, too much face time with child actors, Jar Jar Binks, the Amidala-Skywalker romance. It had it's moments, but come on they were far in between.

Really, it's a compliment. If you have strong opinions and don't want to compromise them, and don't suggar-coat your opninions about what doesn't work either, I suppose that makes you a snob. Well, the best in anything are all snobs to some degree.

You are suggesting that we should feel ashamed about looking at breasts, that it's juvinile. Whether pixel or not I reject the implication.

Well obviously it does matter, but the pixel rack is still nice... Also...

A nice rack is a nice rack, doesn't matter if it's human or pixels.

I never thought I would say this about a movie, but there is too much hyper violence for it's own sake. It's just bad taste.

The only casualties suffered on the American side were due to accidents, I think you call that punishment.

Yes, the conspiracy has been successful and now it won't go away. Not untill we get so fed up we puke at the mere mention. Like Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles, Crockodile Dundee, Episode One for a more recent example.

I figured you meant the Japanese movie version. Anyway I remember an animated version called the monkey king or something from when I was a wee lad.

Haven't seen it, but I probably will now thanks. While it is certainly not unprecedented to write about cinema, there would have to be copious ammounts of secondary literature and some kind of lasting secondary context. You could write about Apocalypse Now in the context of the Vietnam era for instance. IIt can't just be because it's a good movie, you are going to run out of times you can mention that pretty quick.

These stories create themselves. Do you think this would have been news if he had died after watching anything else. There is some kind of giant conspiracy afoot to make Avatar into a phenomenon rather than your standard effects driven blockbuster.

As the final part of my Japanese studies I'm supposed to write an extended essay/project. You would think that after having studied it a while, finding something interesting enough to warrant writing about would be easy. Not so much actually. It could be anything contested or worth examining in Japanese literature, social science, what have you. PS Anine does not interest me in the least.

I don't know if I would call that a war as much as bombing run diplomacy.
