I'm just re-watching Twelve Monkeys again ... rarely I can sit through a film twice in a row.

Oh, right, that was the film Gilliam based this one on (stole the final scene verbatim from it).

I think the complete failure of the MMO, as well as Wheadon's militancy, will convince Fox to cut their losses (Universal produced the film), so there isn't any need to avoid the other Fox products. :D

You'll need to watch the video accompaniments to descry the full working; perhaps that will help you descrive it better ..?

On the "Making Of" Documentary? I'm watching it now. Sort of like subtitles for the film.

Twelve Monkeys I'd forgotten how good this film is; I really dig the intricate predestination versus free-will theme.

It'd be good if they did proper research, like what the Wachowski brothers did for the Matrix ...

Ah, but the democratically-elected government is just enacting the will of the people (and the first duty of any government) to defend the country. Like a big straw-drawing event.

My highlights. When the MMORPG fails dismally, then Fox will be more than eager to sell the rights to anyone. And then there will be a new series.

I prefer the political system, personally. "

I blame Kevin Costner. :D

Your comment is a non-sequitur. I understand that you might take issue with what is a "just war". I don't know why you chose to denigrate the people who fought, voluntarily and under the draft, to keep the fascists from taking over the world sixty years ago (for example), or those who fought the War of Independence. (I can't be bothered to innumerate such concepts as how different the world would be had these conflicts been resolved differently. Try reading The Man in the High Castle, if you need some help.)

(Check the inbedded link and you will see that the original poster started a new topic in the General section.)

Shhh ... projection.

You know what they say about that: you make an ass out of u and umption. I live in the UK, my father was in the Australian Sixth Division, 16th Brigade. Edit: I see you were trying to make some comment about the British control of their colonies in the North American continent, under George III. You should perhaps have targeted your reply to Calax, rather than me. Then it might have made (some) sense.

this is a game. I don't think programmers ever think to include bullets into the physics engine that much. I would laugh at a bunch of guys cowering behind a wall when all of a sudden six portals pop open with a barrage of rocket fire flying at the poor guys from behind. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It still wouldn't be infinite even if you ignored the laws of physics (Jim), as every person would take some bullets, so eventually there wouldn't be any left.

I'd sig that, but that would unbalance my equanimous salutation. :D

... and I am a internetoholic.

I've tried to watch that movie several times - but I always fall asleep or end up doing something else! not that the story is boring, it just fails to involve me.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Really? I'm assuming you are aware of the huge significance of the event and the near-precipitation of a thermo-nuclear war, and the frantic political lobbying on both sides of the table to prevent that without giving ground or losing face. Is it the actors' performance? Or because it's English Do you watch the dubbed / subtitled version?

I know you're trying to be humorous, but I don't get the reference. By the way, I have never lived in an oppressed country (though I did visit Russia, whilst the Iron Curtain was up, back before the Moscow Olympics, so I have first-hand knowledge). Second point of order, my father volunteered (under-age, too) for his service in WW2.

Kristen Wong FTW

Yes, purely because the MILLIONS of free citizens who volunteered their lives in order that you might live in a free country. In their name, you owe the ideals for which they fought allegiance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't ask them to... I would have been quite happy under the "yoke of british oppression" or "Yoke of Canadian Oppression" thank you very much. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's not possible for you to say, and is pretty immature and na
