The Ark website launch video is AWESOME!! Imagine these same talentless rich kids singing without the post and without the autotune!! It's truly epic.




Also the announcer... he says stuff like "this girl has more talent than I have in my little toe". The band looks like high school garage band.


they put the Factory in Music Factory.

Oh boy, this one made me laugh. Still they are surprisingly well done, though not quite there.

All day I've been dozing on and off trying to forget about my rather excruciating toothache. Checked out the newly revamped radiohead.com site, started listening to some dubstep suggestions from his Thomness.

And yet oddly I kind of prefer this sappy, anodyne by-the-numbers pop crap. I can either laugh at it or think, you know these guys (Ark Music) are brilliant opportunists or are offering some excoriating comment on popular culture.

Just like Raider of the Lost Ark!

THEM'S FIGHTIN' WORDS. Seriously, I was obsessed with this movie when it came out. I saw it theatrically eight times, which is still a record for me. I actually bought the soundtrack, which I almost never do. I even bought the music book so that I could attempt to play the theme on the piano, even though my piano playing skills were basic, putting it kindly. I haven't seen the movie in years, so I don't know how well it holds up (I'm almost afraid to revisit it, as I'm fairly sure I won't find it as mind-blowingly great as my 11-year-old counterpart). But I know the soundtrack holds up -- there's an sense of awe and a majesty to it that I just love, and I definitely think it's among Williams' best work.

One of Williams' least inspired scores. Get back to me when they do Superman.
My favorite YT comment: The asian kid in the white shirt with guitar was the best!


Oh come on! It's far too simplistic for me. Boring changes with a weak narrative thread (melody). I don't think it fits with the film's subject matter very well either. I don't hear much awe. I hear something similar-sounding to awe: yawn.


Look at his wins (scores that matched up very well with the films): Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, JFK, Nixon. Nixon is especially good, so much so I bought the soundtrack. The main theme **IS** Nixon, it's that fucking good.

Anyway, it's a matter of taste and I happen to know you have excellent taste in films. You're just wrong about *this*.

What's interesting about this is the dude who said this is designed to convince the world especially those of us in America of this world wide flood and noahs ark. So some Tax dollars are spent to fuck our kids brains and other Tax dollars are spent to Un-Fuck our kids brains (schools).

We're still our own worst enemies.

My mama was born in Beebe Ark in 1928, on a cotton growing dirt farm. She had better grammar...

The film A.I. started out as a Kubrick project, a project that Kubrick wanted Spielberg to direct, because he felt Spielberg's directing style would best fit the script. The film never got out of the development phase, because the effects technology of the time were not convincing enough for Kubrick's high standards. After Kubrick passed, Spielberg picked it up and made a very dark, beautiful and underrated film. One of his best IMO.

All of them are artists. All of them are entertainers. I dig all three directors. If I had to make a personal top 10 list, it would probably include The Shining, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Brazil. I don't see a reason to beat down Spielberg just because he is more commercial. Most commercial films suck. (Current box office champs: Tron 2, Yogi Bear, Narnia 3) Spielberg consistently puts out intelligent, meaningful films that can be appreciated by people of all walks of life - not an easy task.

That said, Gilliam's last 3 flicks were horrible. I hope his second shot at La Mancha goes well, the released footage from the 1st abandoned attempt looked really good.

Only a little religious study will lead you to understand they took rafts from the middle=east

I'd like to see the explanation of how species made it to other continents if Noah let all the animals off the ark in the same place.
Also, there is no mention of plants. I guess they can't drown.

Generally it is taught that God brought all the animals to Noah. Noah didn't have to go and find them all.
The author of the book seems to have it wrong from what I recall of the story. I don't remember the rainbow being around before the flood, but was a new sign after the flood only...
Ricky probably should have pointed out that the bible says that some were more than just a pair of each, so we end up with far more than 10 million animals on it. He started to touch on some of it, the food issue. You now need enough food for those animals and the people for 1 year... of course this is normally passed on using magic, much like the space issue... I liked mgittle's point of plants as well.
Also, that 5 million figure can't include all the insects now can it? I would think if we toss in all the insects we would have to have far more, there are more than 450,000 species of beetles alone before we toss in the 4,000 termite species, 22,000 species of ants, 40,000 spiders...
I wonder how Christians pick and choose which stories to pass of as parables or morality tales and which to take as full of truth? Why believe Noah's flood and the Earth was made 6,000 years ago but not, with a few notable exceptions, believe the Earth is the center of the universe though the Bible says it is, but they pass that off an allegory or something like that.

My question is why is it always African animals in the pictures? Giraffes, lions, antelopes, etc. I never see Noa's Ark pictures with say bison or wolves or anything like that.

Course in the end we all know that the story is preposterous and like all the stories from that time, a myth. I wish everyone would wake up and realize that simple truth.

If the Holy Bibble is to be believed, God is much better at genocide than Hitler:
Hitler's holocaust - 6 million humans
God's 40 day flood - all but 2 humans killed

God is better at PR too:
Holocaust - worst atrocity in the history of the world carried out by the most vile and sadistic person to have ever lived.
Noah's Ark - A cute story about cuddly animals on a boat, carrying out the wishes of a loving bearded grandfatherly Deity.

Joe Reagen So he is the authority on this subject matter?

However the other dude actually goes out and investigates and actually sees a large vessel way up a mountain which happens to have the proper dimensions as listed in the BIBLE and to be in the relative area with respect to biblical reading. He does not actually claim it to be the ARC but indicates striking coincidence.

Shameful


If they've in fact proven that there is a "boat" there, good on them. So they found the vessel from which all of these inter-religious stories stem from. This does not make the stories true.

Do you actually believe it was physically possible to fit two of every animal (including insects and other tiny organisms) in the world on a single boat?

If you can say yes to that question I'd like to see the schematics of the boat you have in mind and the explanation of how only a single family was able to build this vessel.

What this is, is exactly what Joe Rogan says and what others in this thread have re-iterated. It's probably a story about some major cataclysm that happened in the past, before the written word, and was passed down by word-of-mouth, like one giant game of telephone that spans centuries and maybe even millenia before it was even written down.
