Triumph Watches The World Cup, Part 1

Lucy TRAILER 1 (2014) - Luc Besson, Scarlett Johansson Movie

newtboy says...

I agree, film needs visual cues, but making her vision work like a touch screen is a HORRIBLE device for that....at least to me.
Wait...OTHERWISE it's just ridiculous?!? HA! Either way it's ridiculous!
I just hate movies that give the impression that they thought up some inventive method to make their insanity make sense, then crap out at the end and say "it was a dream, no explanation needed". That's simply poor writing and lack of imagination to me. (I must say it does one positive thing for me, it leaves the end a tragedy after building to a 'win' for the hero....but in an incredibly cheap and unsatisfying way).
Far better for me is how they did it in "Wages of Fear" (my favorite movie, from the 50's) where the hard fought survival and triumph can be ruined by a moment of inattentive joy.

Meh, film is a visual medium... you do need some kind of indication to the audience.

And I actually kinda hope that's the plot, otherwise it's just ridiculous.

On the plus side, Heisenberg will be pleased.... meth gives you superpowers!!!

It Doesn't Get Better

bcglorf says...

I'm sadly agreed. Bullies don't categorically fall flat after highschool. This just feels more like the way we wish the world was, and not the way it really is. A certain amount of selfishness and meanness actually works to a person's benefit in many situations, doubly so if they are clever enough. Sure, some of the bullies from high school will end up as dead beat nobodies, but so will the kids bullied and teased into depression. I fear messages like this aren't about solving the problem, but about trying to cheer up the victims. I'd vote for cheering them up with the reality that they can still succeed and triumph in spite of the bullying rather than the falsehoods and wishes that any half aware high schooler is going to see through and feel no better for.

I'm not sure, but that bully could probably get a cushy job in middle management somewhere.

Bullies do fairly well in those positions.

"Kerbal" - a Kerbal Space Program movie

AeroMechanical says...

I'm fairly certain, that once it's completed, Kerbal Space Program will easily rank among the greatest computer games ever created.

Neat video too. That's one of the great things about KSP. Not only do you get to create, learn something about engineering, but it also conveys the thrill, tragedy and triumph of exploration.

I still sometimes weep for Jebediah Kerbal. He had too much of the Right Stuff. He should never have boarded that rickety rocket, but he did anyways, that brave bastard. Now he's out there, somewhere. Forever exploring, with no way home.

Unless, of course, the Kraken got him.

Charmian Gooch: Meet global corruption's hidden players -TED

dannym3141 says...

I am so badly jaded by this point that i consider almost everything with power in the western world to be corrupt.

I used to say that those who were intelligent and caring enough to lead and forge a better world for all of us are least suited to get there, but i have since changed my opinion to a worse one; those who are most suited to getting into a position of power are those without empathy for others, who can and will abuse anyone and anything to further themselves - they are known as professional psychopaths, and i think we are led by them.

In our country right now, on average, the richest pay less tax than the poor, and the extremely rich can afford to pay no tax. Our MP's cheat expenses (which are already outrageous) and have second houses paid for them, they set up laws to help them dodge tax and make changes to our social systems so that they can sell them off to their friends. They recently even wanted a further pay hike because apparently all of those things followed by a guaranteed golden handshake/pension is not enough. Meanwhile, and this is not hyperbole, there are elderly people dying because they can't afford to heat their homes during the winter, and food banks have risen meteorically because others can't afford to feed their families.

This feels like some sort of medieval nightmare, where the kings and lords are living a life of plenty, stuffing their faces with roast pigs whilst the commoners starve and eat grass outside the castle walls.

I am genuinely concerned for the world, and i am bewildered by the fact that none of my friends seem to care as much as i do. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing - apathy is how this world will burn.

I Am Bradley Manning

ChaosEngine says...

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

lantern53 said:

Manning did the absolute wrong thing. If he didn't believe in what he was doing, he should have gotten the fuck out.

So...the gov't are terrorists, terrorists are freedom-fighters. These people are so confused I'm surprised they can get out of bed in the morning.

TRIUMPH OF THE WILL (RECENTLY FOUND DIRECTOR'S CUT)

Yogi says...

All joking aside people should really watch Triumph of the Will, and Olympia. Leni Riefenstahl was actually a genius and it's just interesting watching these movies.

the newsroom-the truth about television news

Payback says...

Nice sentiment. Too bad they'd go bankrupt IRL.

Individuals want facts and "real" news, differing opinions and "pure" knowledge.

People want their beliefs reinforced, good to triumph over evil, and -every now and then- a cute picture of a cat.

Squirrel Launcher Gets Rid Of Pesky Squirrels in .5 seconds

AeroMechanical says...

One day he's going to do this to the wrong kind of squirrel, and while he's standing there cackling and congratulating himself on another of man's triumphs over nature, the squirrel is going to unfurl her little arm flaps, perform a graceful 180 degree bank and enter a steep high-speed dive, razor-sharp incisors leading, and screaming death from above as she homes in on her new found nutty prey.

Kinetic energy is their ally. Never forget.
