Accept or reject at your discretion. Prog rockers walk the edge of weirdness. Sometimes they fall over the edge. Sometimes they hit the mark and when they do it's sweet.

Many rockers can make a simple guitar solo sound sweet with distortion and sustain. It's altogether different playing clean like Knopfler. It's a lot harder and that's why he's so damn good.

Gwiz66 - good call on this.
Maher's off his rocker, grabbing at strings to make poignant-seeming entertaining commentary.

Sure, what Bill knows is accurate. Someone else says something he pipes out "How do you know that?"

I was going to say that Jason Alexander has been on the show too often - but I wonder now maybe the producers insist he should be on to bring relevant poignant entertaining commentary to the show.

Perhaps Jason Alexander is preparing for his own show?
Or even...replace Maher?

Interesting to note that with all the Rockers currently stepping up to endorse various Presidential candidates, Dee Snider is the ONLY one to endorse McCain!

Doesnt get any better!!!!!! the greatest interaction of two Generations of Rockers 25 years apart? More? ROCKING and jamming for real no just playing the scene thing these guys ALL rocked man!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH ITS MORE TO THE PICTURE THAN MEETS THE EYE -real rock n roll will NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this act....Love them rocker's from Osakers, too...Shonen Knife...YAYYYYYY!

GunRock, your off your rocker, and your world view is dead.

Dupe of this one:

But I'm not Really sure which one was queued first...

I think the point is the imbalance in the type of role the Muslims stereotype is cast in, as Tom Stall pointed out, they are, more often than most other stereotypes cast as the role of the enemy.

The reason there is not a Jewish version of this video is because Jews in movies can also be sympathetic genocide victims, or intelligent problem solving types, or funny scene-stealers, or that cute guy the cute girls falls for in the latest 3 hankie chick flick sobfest... and yes, Germans in films are for the most part perpetually stuck in 1939-45 invading other countries and shouting 'Mein Furor' but they can also be punk rockers, composers, happy beer-swilling tourists, new wave musicians or esoteric art film directors... its not to say that these groups are not stereotyped in film, but their stereotypes have more variety, and fill many more roles than always being terrorists.

I think Farhad is right in that the Russians are the only group that can begin to compare in the treatment the Arabs have received from Hollywood, they are always baddies perpetually dubbed as 'those sneaky-fucking Russians'. Unless they are played by Sean Connery, then they get to be noble, but they still speak with a Scottish burr.

Alrighty, well, Qruel asked me to move this post so I'm doing so. I was responding to comments made here: http://www.videosift.com/member/deedub81/published
As you can see, I just got an account this morning so I apologize if I'm not following protocol. I was pretty angry when I wrote this but I don't have the energy to re-write. What I'm really trying to say is that Mormonism isn't some kind of half-cocked crap and we deserve some tolerance. We don't need Christians to accept us as Christians, but we would appreciate a little bit of tolerance from Christians. People think they've got us all figured out and it has started to drive me up the wall. Here is my original post:

I know you're all making a valiant effort to bring the subject back to the speech and I hate to undermine that, but I couldn't let this go. Qruel, you said: "Surely Romney knows that Mormonism, in particular, was historically hostile to liberty for blacks as well as women. The founders of his church believed that God had cursed the world's dark-skinned people. They rejected abolitionism and later the civil rights movement."

Will you please tell me where you got this information? Particularly about the rejection of abolitionism and civil rights by Mormons. Many Mormons were part of the abolitionist movement, including some of my Mormon ancestors. My parents and grandparents were alive during the Civil Rights movement and I assure you that they and all of their Mormon friends supported the movement. Furthermore, the leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints do not take a stance on political topics, politicians, or policy. Right down to the topic of abortion, the church does not take an official stance. I don't see how you can say, therefore, that the church opposed the civil rights movement or the abolitionist movement.

I would also like to know why you think that Mormons were historically hostile to women's rights. I admit that I am not a theologist or an LDS historian and am honestly curious as to where you got that information. I grew up in California among a hotbed of feminists. I consider myself a feminist. By saying this I mean that I do not believe that men and women are the same, but that the separate roles of men and women are equal in value, difficulty, and worth; that neither sex is inferior to the other, and that men and women should be equal partners in everything. Having said this, I would like to point out that LDS women do not need your sympathy. We are among the most active, influential, educated, and liberated women in society. The leaders of the church go out of their way to encourage LDS women to seek higher learning among other things. I love being a woman in my church. It rocks. You should try it.

I have an inquiring mind. I have done a great deal of research (not among anti-Mormon literature, but among credible sources) and I am insulted by anyone who calls me a sheep. I assure you that after a lifetime of learning about religious doctrine and studying both the Bible and the Book of Mormon, I have not taken these things for granted. I used to believe that inquiring was dangerous and that I would find something that contradicted the truths I believed so completely that I would not be able to hold on to them. I see no reason to call the doctrines of my church "ridiculous", "nonsense", "far-fetched", or its members "off their rockers". We aren't idiots. Seriously. We're not. I go to school, I take philosophy classes, I talk, I walk, I have conversations, I think, I live on the Earth, I don't walk around with a blindfold over my eyes. I have questioned the existence of God in a logical way and in a spiritual way. I have written philosophical, LOGICALLY structured arguments and essays on the topics of God's existence and my own faith. I have listened to differing opinions. I am not saying that any of these things prove that my religion is true. I am saying that my religion may seem like it doesn't have a leg to stand on to someone who knows little about it, but I know that there is at least some kind of rational thought put into the whole deal and that maybe, just maybe, you aren't as freaking wise as you think you are. I'm probably not, either, but I'm NOT a simpleton believing in some half-cocked cult theory. Many people wiser and more educated in the history of this church than you have found that that our faith is good and that it is founded in more than the mindless, brainwashed faith of its members. Our history may not be unspotted or untainted (is any religion's history?), but we have as much merit as any church out there and DO NOT deserve to be called ridiculous by anyone as ignorant about our beliefs as you people.

"You've already stated to me personaly that you "don't base your faith on logic" whatever that means. (to me it says you believe what you are told to believe) If someone from your religion tells you "you are christian" then you'll believe them and all the other nonsense they fill your head with."

Who cares if Mormons are Christian? Honestly! I don't care what the Christian community thinks of me! In fact, I don't want to be lumped in with the whole lot of them. They're great people, but, frankly, I think that their interpretation of the Bible is absolutely insane. So, there ya go. This stuff goes both ways. Just because our brand of Christianity isn't as popular or doesn't follow the mainstream doesn't mean that it is some kind of contrived nonsense! We are really, truly, honestly TRYING TO DO WHAT WE BELIEVE IS RIGHT, and we believe that the organization and doctrines of our religion are identical in every way that matters to the primitive church of Jesus Christ as he established it when he lived on the Earth. Maybe WE'RE the Christians and everyone else isn't. Ooh, that's gonna make somebody mad.

Christ and the Bible testify of revelation and of prophets. Our religion did not appear out of thin air from the mind of an uneducated, 14-year-old farmboy. We believe that Joseph Smith, a prophet, restored the church as it was before it was corrupted by people who used religion for personal gain, who appeal to their congregations by interpreting the Bible to mean that salvation is easier than pie and that God doesn't require anything of us, and so getting members to fill the church and their own pockets. Why is it so hard for Christians to believe that Christ's church may have been corrupted over two thousand years and that prophets are necessary to regulate and control the doctrine so that it isn't corrupted? Why do they think that ancient Christians so close to Christ's ministry needed to be continually taught the doctrine by prophets in epistles, but that now prophets aren't neccesary? Why would God abandon us? There are so many things about other churches that don't make sense to me. There are things about my religion that don't make sense to you, adn that's fine! All I ask is a little respect and a little tolerance. I ask that you find out what you're talking about before you start spewing accusations and insults.

Romney's speech was in no way perfect. I was annoyed by the comment about freedom and religion as many of your were. I was also bothered by the generalizations about what Americans believe. He said something about Americans believing that we are all children of God, and my immediate thought was, "Aren't atheists and agnostics American, too?"

The plain truth is that it is wrong for Americans to allow Romney's religion to sway their vote either for him or against him. His speech was a political move, no doubt about it. He was catering to the religious, particularly the Christian, community. But I don't believe that he was trying to say, "Hey, look, I'm Christian just like you!" I think he was trying to say that his religion would not and should not define his presidency. He wanted to create a feeling of solidarity with Christians, sure. I think that Christians need to stop hating Mormons so much, and Mormons need to stop asking to be accepted as Christians. But the world needs to know that Mormons are good people. You may think we're crazy or that we're a cult, but we deserve as much respect and good will as the members of any other religion. We are striving to be good human beings just like Christians, just like Atheists, and just like Jews. Lay off. Pretty please.

Deedub, Every Christian I've spoken with thinks any morman is off their rocker. I think the South Park video on Mormanism sums up how the mormans got their "faith". It's not that much different from how all the other religions got theirs also.. the others just took a lot more time to be formulated and compiled. I'm personally sick of religion but I don't hold it against others that are religious because I've been there before myself and I know that many are bombarded with religious beliefs since they were young. It's just that a President of the United States should believe in strict separation between church and state.

As for mormonism, take a read of Howard Hughes biography at the end chapters... You get to learn something about the mormons that they didn't show you on "The Aviator" movie.. although they did show that he had a few guys in white shirts and ties holding bibles behind him in the movie (but that's all they showed on that part of his life).

In a world filled with an abundance of hypocrisy and lies, the sign of truth and honor will be with those who do not fear those who try to oppress others.

I came jumping out of the theater yelling, "Programming is cool! WAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" (that's a rocker wailing "Wah" if you didn't get that) after seeing this abomination.

Opening scene = Awesome!
Rest of the movie = Ass!
Halle Berry's breasts = Overrated, just like the rest of her, not to mention her acting. Don't even get me started on her $#@%ing Jinx character in Die Another Day! Yeah! SHE'S the one that you should consider giving a spin off movie to and NOT Michelle Yeoh! Oh, did Catwoman and X-Men open your eyes to how much she sucks? Screw you, Hollywood!

Sorry... Tangent.

Excellent song.

Nancy is quite the rocker...and sexy too.

There's someone else who isn't well right now... seriously I can't see the comedy value in someone who's clearly off their rocker.
