Oh god no.
Not Blade Runner. Please. I'm begging you.


I have a strong, strong feeling this is coming. Is it possible to see Harrison Ford spin in his grave while he's alive still?

Might as well throw a damn predator in it for Colin Farrell, who will undoubtedly play the main role, to fight off in it as well to spice up the action and REALLY bring that 3D out on the screen...

Someone, please shoot the alien jelly-plasmoid brain-suckers that have taken over all of the executive and script writer minds in Hollywood before it reboots EVERY show ever made. Next E.T. and Star Wars will get a reboot at this pace.

I would've been interested to hear his take on it too, but he's unlikely to have left a recording.

I read this as "Colin McRae - Take Five". Color me pleasantly surprised.

Surely this guy can't get elected?

Surely he can get elected. George W. Bush was elected twice.


I think you just highlighted exactly why he couldn't get elected. The system is not designed to attract the best and the brightest and the statesmen who wish to serve and to put the country's interests ahead of their own or ahead of their party.

Left and right both have adopted the lesser of two evils approach In 2004, the left said, "anyone but Bush", and in 2012, the right said, "Anyone but Obama" When you don't really care about your own candidate, you're just voting against the other guy, you've got a broken system.

The first past the post system is a dud. Abolish all parties, vote for the person, not the party. If that means we have 42 candidates instead of 2, then fine. If that means the guy with most votes only represents a small fraction of the total vote...tough. We already have shitty turnout in our elections and presidents are already elected by a small fraction of the populace so really, what's the difference?

and lastly. eliminate all private funding from elections. money is not speech. speech is speech, that's why we have two different words for them. Every candidate gets a publicly funded website to do what they want with it. That's all you fucking need in today's world. no stupid billboards and lawn signs, no commercials. Just a website and a series of debates. That's all we fucking need to make a choice.

It's shit like this that make me wonder if Heinlen isn't right. You can't lead unless you've served. There has to be some demonstration that you're willing to sacrifice. I'm not just talking about military service either, there are plenty of ways of demonstrate selflessness and willingness to serve than just the military. We just have to identify them and ensure that our wannabe leaders abide by it.

[EDIT] Ooops, I thought you were referring to Powell, bareboards and Duo

Colin Powell remains one of the few coherent voices in politics, certainly one of the most rational voices from the right-wing. Nothing but respect for him.

If he were to run for presiden, the problem is he would never make it through the GOP primary system, and that's a fault of the primary system itself - specifically, the limited demographics that actually show up to them. Still, if he were to run as a Republican, he'd be one of the few I'd consider voting for in the big show.

Don't get me wrong I don't think Obama has done a bad job but he really hasn't done a good one either he seems more like a figure head to me he just does whatever his cabinet tells him to do. He always comes across to me as a really good guy who has no idea how to run a country. He has a lot of good ideas but he can't ever seem to implement them.

>> ^MycroftHomlz:

I would also like to see him run. But I don't think Obama has done a bad job.
>> ^Auger8:
I think we really missed out on a great President when Colin Powell decided not to run. That would have been a slam dunk win for him but I respect his decision to concentrate on his family. Still he's a very smart man with a strong military background and a born leader. He would have whipped this country into to shape years ago. He at least would have done a much better job than Obama.
