Well I and all my friends (guys included) absolutely love the book series, and the film does them justice more so than films usually do. But it's the first one, setting the scene somewhat. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone who hasn't read the books, it'd be lame

I saw a scathing video review about this film somewhere but can't remember the source. Still i could see it's not the kind of film I would go for

Thank you for seeing past the video wankness (even though I like Twilight, I fully appreciate this, hehe)

Upvote strictly for the song!

Excellent bill, enjoy! I've been a 'peripheral' fan of KOL for a number of years, glad they're getting some decent mainstream attention lately.

They're opening here in VA for Kings of Leon! Looks to be a good show.

Sick sift, from a great album! Saw them last fall in Toronto, excellent time had by all.

Yeah they're opening here in VA for Kings of Leon. Looks to be a good show.

They are great live. For the next week or two they're in the u.k. and they start their north american tour mid-april.

The scary part of this is not what he says; it's that he's the respectable and eloquent face of the BNP. In UK nationalist terms, he's the intellectual elite. I honestly knew a BNP supporter that went out one night with a couple of his 'Nationalist' friends for a few beers, and woke up to find they'd tattooed a swastika onto his arm for a joke. He was annoyed that they'd tattooed him while unconscious, but was not bothered by the whole swastika thing.

If anybody is so myopic as to think that, because blacks in America have a sense of unity, that this extends to all blacks, they should really travel a little. Just see how much black unity you'll find in Congo, in Kenya or in Sierra Leone. Anywhere you go, you'll find that minority groups identify well with each other. It's true of Americans living in Europe, of Irish living in Australia, and of Jews living in New York. It's human nature. Griff-tard seems to think that, because there's no huge sense of unity and fraternity in the all-white, thick-as-pigshit ghetto of mediocrity that he inhabits, that this means that white English people have some loftier sense of identity that extends beyond race.

Farhad I tried to find this and could not find it a while ago, thanks for sifting this! I love this movie, The very definition of 'Cult Classic'

You know, more than anything else, I love the fact that 27 years later and it does not have a terrible '80s scifi' feel

Brilliant!

Next subject: Kowalski, Leon. Engineer, waste disposal. File section: New employee, six days.

sniffle...I'm going to miss Jonesy and hearing Rollins and the others live. No more DJs, which some I hated some I loved. Still playing god damn kings of leon on the internet channel! Argh!

I don't like scientology, but I'll miss Feel my heat...I still play "So Lonely" on Monday nights. Sounds like it is about that time now...sniffle again.

Just put this up, to remember the good times...

Memristors /memˈrɪstɚ/ ("memory resistors") are a class of passive two-terminal circuit elements that maintain a functional relationship between the time integrals of current and voltage. This results in resistance varying according to the device's memristance function. Specifically engineered memristors provide controllable resistance useful for switching current. The memristor is a special case in so-called "memristive systems", a class of mathematical models useful for certain empirically observed phenomena, such as the firing of neurons.[3] The definition of the memristor is based solely on fundamental circuit variables, similar to the resistor, capacitor, and inductor. Unlike those more familiar elements, the necessarily nonlinear memristors may be described by any of a variety of time-varying functions. As a result, memristors do not belong to linear time-invariant (LTI) circuit models. A linear time-invariant memristor is simply a conventional resistor.[4]

Memristor theory was formulated and named by Leon Chua in a 1971 paper. Chua strongly believed that a fourth device existed to provide conceptual symmetry with the resistor, inductor, and capacitor. This symmetry follows from the description of basic passive circuit elements as defined by a relation between two of the four fundamental circuit variables, namely voltage, current, charge and flux.[5] A device linking charge and flux (themselves defined as time integrals of current and voltage), which would be the memristor, was still hypothetical at the time. He did acknowledge that other scientists had already used fixed nonlinear flux-charge relationships.[6] However, it would not be until thirty-seven years later, on April 30, 2008, that a team at HP Labs led by the scientist R. Stanley Williams would announce the discovery of a switching memristor. Based on a thin film of titanium dioxide, it has been presented as an approximately ideal device.[7][8][9] Being much simpler than currently popular MOSFET switches and also able to implement one bit of non-volatile memory in a single device, memristors integrated with transistors may enable nanoscale computer technology. Chua also speculates that they may be useful in the construction of artificial neural networks.[10]

If a terrorist attack occurs that could've been prevented by waterboarding intel from a captive, all blame goes to the American people who elected Obama who selected a bureaucrat for a job requiring different and specific experience.


Wiki on torture:
One well documented effect of torture is that, with rare exceptions, people will say or do anything to escape the situation, including untrue "confessions" and implication of others without genuine knowledge, who may well then be tortured in turn. That information may have been extracted from the Birmingham Six through the use of police beatings was counterproductive because it made the convictions unsound as the confessions were worthless.

This is why its not been used prior to bush and co. seeing how sucessful it is on 24. Cause its utterly fucking worthless, provides unsound intel, and can lead to false arrests and misallocation of resources chasing an endless rabbit hole of trails.

JACK BAUER IS NOT A REAL DUDE!!

On another note, I've got to add a new story that was breaking late yesterday through to today: Obama has named Leon Panetta to head the CIA.

Already we've heard from Jay Rockefeller (outgoing head of the Intelligence Committee) and Diane Feinstein (incoming head of the Intelligence Committee) say that they weren't consulted on the pick, and are concerned with Panetta's appointment.

Oh, and those are both Democrats.

Thing is, they're both the ringleaders of the pro-PATRIOT, pro-FISA, torture-neutral, telecomm immunity advocates in the Democratic caucus in the Senate.

Holder's nomination is important to me because of its implications for having justice brought to bear on the Bushies for torture & spying, but Panetta's appointment may be an even larger signal that this will be a subject Obama really wants to tackle, as Panetta has been riotously opposed to both the torture and domestic surveillance programs in the past.

The fact that Obama's otherwise meticulous transition team neglected to contact either ranking Senator on the Intelligence committee makes me wonder if they're sending a message to those two.

I guess time will tell. In any case, if the speculations are right, this will be one hell of a confirmation battle too.
