funny how a single scene can contain some of the best, and worst, in cinematic gunplay, eh?

because some of the physics, and tactics, are actually quite a bit more genuine than the hollywood norm. where arnold finds cover behind hedgerows...

the most glaring problem here being the one schmawy points out.
> Costner manages to fan off at least eight shots from his colt.

and i'd second what dproc said, as well.

with one very minor edit, i suppose:
... but it was not purely by the effect of the slug.

because yeah, lots of little factors. if the shooter were prone (for instance) then of course that which might otherwise knock you off your feet, in firing, wouldn't.

and if the target were in mid-pirouette or something (to use an obvious, unlikely, worst-case scenario of being off-balance) then sure, a shot to your center of gravity is going to cause significant lateral movement.

and yeah, at 4:30, he gets both barrels, center mass, at a range of 10 feet. now, that's all kinds of ugly and he damn sure ain't stayin' put. but slamming him into a building another ten feet away is laying it on a 'lil thick.

Yeah yeah he's right about some things, but supporting Nader is a great way to get John "1000000 years in Iraq" McCain elected. There's a big difference between McCain and Obama.

So you think the differences between D and R are small? Look at the supreme court nominees.
Clinton appointed Breyer and Ginsburg
Bush Jr. appointed Roberts and Alito
Reagan appointed Scalia and Kennedy
Bush Sr. appointed Thomas and Souter
Ford appointed Stephens (but Ford was more liberal than subsequent republican presidents and Stephens has improved with age)

2 out of 9 justices are Clinton nominees, and both are good.
7 out of 9 are Republican nominees, and that's a mixed bag.

Go and read their decisions. If I had to rank them from best to worst I'd say:
1. Stephens
2. Breyer = Souter
3. Ginsburg
... (big gap)
4. Scalia = Kennedy
5. Roberts
6. Alito
7. Thomas

Hey, I think your Korean drummer video is a dupe of this:

http://www.videosift.com/video/The-best-and-worst-music-video-in-the-world-rolled-into-one

This is a dupe.

http://www.videosift.com/video/The-best-and-worst-music-video-in-the-world-rolled-into-one

also, i'd like this on the record, in regards to downvoting, in general.

i have never once taken a single one of ant's downvotes against him, and he knows that because i told him so. we all frequently joke about them.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Crazy-Eddie-commercials-we-had-to-endure

i have never felt ant was targeting me, or anyone else to my knowledge, just being harsh yet honest.

and his votes given / received ratio shows a genuine interest in selecting the best and worst for their appropriate thumbage, before the clip has sifted, and those less interested in manning the churn, suddenly appear.

ant was one of the first, to upvote the one thing i really cared about here.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Shadow-Puppets-animation-by-Chuck-Gamble

and i notice him secretly upvoting my comments.

besides, he's the yin to my yang. i dig ant.

if all that shroom did, to deserve any of this, was downvote any one guy's shit honestly?

we would not be having this conversation, and every one of you knew that, about him, long before i got here.

ps.
>> ^MycroftHomlz:
Rottenseed, I agree that all of my15minutes videos suck.

funny. the way i read that, rottenseed was talking to, and about, K0MMIE. not me.

i guess we all see what we want to, though.

and, if you're willing to provide some more useful and specific criticism, i'd happily accept it, Holmz. here, or in private, at your convenience.

i've only been active here 2 months. but i honestly didn't think anyone had a problem with TED clips, a couple funny commercials, some old TV intros, a single Ron Paul vid, and one cute sift.

pps. were this an isolated incident, with shroom, the way it was with TheSofaKing, three weeks back, dumping on blankfist?

http://sofa.videosift.com#comment-282621

that's how i'd handle shroom.

but this incident, is about as isolated, as Paris Hilton at a circle jerk.

which is a fucking shame, because TheSofaKing needed only the merest of prodding to see the error of his ways instantly.

thank you all again for your time, and attention, to keeping the sift the kind of place that you want it to be.

i will happily submit to the will of the Jedi Council.

- owen

flash video is the best and worst thing that happened to the internet.

fucking flash.

quicktime was so sweet, shame apple ballsed it up by being proprietary.

Let's get the unsifted one worked out first. I'm not sure what it's doing but I'm not convinced the best to worst ratio is doing that consistently. Posted a vid earlier that picked up 7 votes and 8 views in the first 6 or 7 hours, next time I looked it wasn't there. I finally found it way toward the back of the list among the 0-3 vote and older posts.

Either I misunderstand what the best votes to views thing is looking for or something still needs worked out.

Edit to add this in case it matters, at 9 views it jumped back to where it belonged. Just needed another view to reset it or whatever.

ok. fuck HR.

Yeah, and fuck Gandhi too for spouting that peace shit.

Holy crap, mushroom, what planet are you living on? end fascism, nazism, communism?

How many neo-nazis are there in the world today?
How many people are enslaved by their own or others' governments?
How many dictatorial communist governments are there in the world?
Maybe you think they are alive and well today because we didn't carpet bomb europe completely enough in the 40's? Perhaps the answer is to keep bombing the shit out of all of them? Because just like an abused wife, THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO GET IT. right?

sheesh - get thee to a library.

btw: I personally think rollins is something of a tool. The best worst thing he ever did was stop making music. His point, though, was exactly the same as Gandhi's. You have a choice. You can sign up to kill people, or you can refuse to kill people. It is not a complicated choice.

and may I chime in please, to point out, that while a particular, 'comfortable to everyone manner', of transferring a sentiment, from one sentient to some other, may still not be processed well, the above comment, is in no way "Ad Hominem" enough to have any panties ruffled......those so affected may do well to reflect and or ignore, what ever it IS THOU WILT! Be offended, be concerned, BE. That is the dance we all must perform, to the best and worst of our abilities......

This is a community, correct?? Adjust.

...most of the gays i have known or spent any amount of time around, all have had an aura of self-hate, hard to describe to folks determined to beat the human rights gong so loud that it drowns their sensibilities...
This christian has the disease of the machine...power, wealth...itll' fuck the best and worst of us up-to use him as an example of what fundamentalist b-thumpers are like, is as sophomoric as any other blame-game.

The disease is mentioned in a verse from the bible "my people perish for lack of knowledge."

All this banter serves mostly to stroke one's own convictions.

Brain Storm This: How do we bring 200 million people up to speed with the rest of the civilized world, so bombs don't go off in London, NY, etc, so women can uncover their faces in public, so practices of teaching self-hate, race hate, clitorectomies, etc. will cease?"

Screw the queers-are they really worth paying attention to??

That's simultaneously the best and worst analogy ever.
