AK-47 vs M-16

Payback says...

Each weapon is meant for the country that made it. Crude production abilities and poorly trained men vs a solid industrial quality level and well trained men. Russia vs US. Chev vs Ford. McDonald's vs Wolfgang Puck.

Top Gear - Hydrogen Powered Car made by General Motors

gluonium says...

please get a clue. you are not "extracting" energy from water to run this or any other hydrogen powered car. hydrogen can only be used as dgandhi points out, as an energy STORAGE mechanism as you will always have to input more energy into the process of splitting water into it's constituent gases than you can ever get back out of the process of recombining them into water. you put lots of energy into splitting water into H and O then you GET BACK a portion of that energy by recombining the H with the O (burning it). this is 4th grade science. to anyone who knows how the thing actually works it makes you sound daft to say the car is "running on water" or giving "free energy" just as it would sound daft to say that your current car "runs on CO2" because the plants that decomposed in the ground that turned to oil over millennia originally produced their hydrocarbons by using CO2 in the ancient atmosphere. sorry but this is the sort of thinking that physicist Wolfgang Pauli rightly calls "not even wrong".

Salieri humiliated by you-know-who

Krupo says...

Yeah, this was an excellent movie. Could someone explain why a movie about Mozart doesn't already have a *music tag, though?

In case anyone's unfamiliar, this is form the movie Amadeus, after Wolfgang's middle name.

Oh, and the crazy laugh at the end - nice touch.

Don Giovanni Is Sent to Hell: Commendatore Scene (powerful)

Farhad2000 says...

In this scene an ominous knock sounds at the door. Leporello, paralyzed by fear, cannot answer, so Giovanni opens the door himself to reveal the statue of the Commendatore.

"Don Giovanni! a cenar teco m'invitasti - Don Giovanni! To dine with you you've invited me."

It exhorts the careless villain to repent of his wicked lifestyle, but Giovanni adamantly refuses. The statue sinks into the earth and drags Giovanni with him. Hellfire surrounds Don Giovanni as he is carried below.

Donna Anna, Don Ottavio, Donna Elvira, Zerlina, and Masetto arrive, searching for the villain. They find instead Leporello under the table, shaken from the horror he has witnessed, which he describes to the others. The concluding chorus delivers the moral of the opera - "So ends he who evil did. The death of a sinner always reflects their life."

Don Giovanni (literally "The Punished Rake, or Don Giovanni") is an opera in two acts with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte. It was premiered in the Estates Theatre in Prague on October 29, 1787. Don Giovanni is widely regarded as one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed, and of the many operas based on the legend of Don Juan, Mozart's is thought to be beyond comparison. The opera was billed as dramma giocoso or "playful drama", belonging to a genre neither completely comic nor completely tragic.

Rickegee, truly a man after my own heart... I get chills whenever I see this scene.

"Amadeus" - Great Moments In Cinema

Farhad2000 says...

Amadeus is a 1984 film directed by Miloš Forman and based on the stage play Amadeus. It won eight Oscars in 1984.

In this scene, Salieri, now residing in a mental home recalls the first time he came across Motzart's music to a Priest.

The stage play was written in 1979 by Peter Shaffer, and was inspired by "Mozart and Salieri", a short play by Aleksandr Pushkin (later adapted into an opera of the same name by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov), which was in turn based loosely on the lives of the composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri.

Another of my favorites. I must say that F. Murray Abraham is a criminally underrated actor.

Hilariously awesome David Cross music video (TTOMO)

brendotroy says...

This is a clip from the movie "Run Ronnie Run", a feature-length spinoff of the TV show, "Mr. Show" with David Cross & Bob Odenkirk. The movie was, IMO, really hilarious and underwatched, even by Mr. Show fans.

The fictional group featured is Three Times One Minus One (T.T.O.M.O). That's Pootie T. and Wolfgang Amadeus Thelonius Van Funkenmeister The 19th and 3 Quarters (Played by David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, respectively).

Lyrics are NSFW, but there's no nudity in the video (unfortunately, because Nikki Cox is easy on the eyes, for a bimbo).

Jaquet-Droz's Musical Lady 1773

sfjocko says...

Automata are really interesting, and the French took the art to new heights. From wikipedia:
A new attitude towards automata is to be found in Descartes when he suggested that the bodies of animals are nothing more than complex machines - the bones, muscles and organs could be replaced with cogs, pistons and cams. Thus mechanism became the standard to which Nature and the organism was compared. Seventeenth-century France was the birthplace of those ingenious mechanical toys that were to become prototypes for the engines of the industrial revolution. Thus, in 1649, when Louis XIV was still a child, an artisan named Camus designed for him a miniature coach, and horses complete with footmen, page and a lady within the coach; all these figures exhibited a perfect movement. According to P. Labat, General de Gennes constructed, in 1688, in addition to machines for gunnery and navigation, a peacock that walked and ate. The Jesuit Athanasius Kircher produced many automatons to create jesuit shows, including a statue which spoke and listened via a speaking tube, a perpetual motion machine, or a cat piano which would drive spikes into the tails of cats which yowled to specified pitches, although he is not known to have actually constructed the instrument. He also wrote an early description of the magic lantern, in Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae (1671).
The world's first successfully-built biomechanical automaton is considered to be The Flute Player, invented by the French engineer Jacques de Vaucanson in 1737. He also constructed a mechanical duck that could eat and defecate, seeming to endorse Cartesian ideas that animals are no more than machines of flesh.
In 1769, a chess-playing automaton called the Turk, created by Wolfgang von Kempelen, made the rounds of the courts of Europe, but in fact was a famous hoax, operated from inside by a hidden human operator.
Other Eighteenth Century automaton makers include the prolific Frenchman Pierre Jaquet-Droz (see Jaquet-Droz automata) and his contemporary Henri Maillardet. Maillardet, a Swiss mechanician, created an automaton capable of drawing four pictures and writing three poems. Maillardet's Automaton is now part of the collections at the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia.
