@newtboy
now we are getting somewhere.

let us look at your first paragraph.notice anything?
ideology vs reality.
what you are proposing is the initial intent and ideologically i totally agree but even in your paragraph you concede to the truth,albeit a cynical truth.
(the referencing of the necessity if an informed public).which is only one aspect of a much greater whole which should be criticized and addressed.

understand i am not disagreeing with your assessments of the original intent.what i am pointing out is that what we have now is no where near a reflection of that intent,to which i have added that each right,privilege and dignity has had to be fought for and extracted FROM the government.

the government is "supposed" to represent the people.
it is "supposed" to protect and secure our rights.
but is that what we see play out?
i certainly dont think so.

the case is not exactly hard to make that the federal government no longer serves nor represents the will of the people but rather large corporate and monied interests.

though i will concede that revisionist text books can fascilitate indoctrination.

i am also not trying to make the argument this video is some political masterpiece of criticism.
it is a pandering,condescending,simple-minded piece of work BUT it is the criticism i admire.

i could go on for days on the failures of the public education system and it has very little to do with the teachers but rather the delivery system itself,which has become a machine which comodifies people into class categories.

henry giroux called it punishment creep.

school is not longer about education but rather about learning to obey.

quick story before i totally go off the rails and write you all a book:
i was subbing a history class for a friend and decided to teach shay's rebellion,since he was just completing america's war for independence and the rebellion is vital to understand the debate over federal powers.my friend was delighted with the idea but the administration was,less than enthusiastic.

the next day i was handed my third disciplinary notice and reprimanded for not following curriculum.which was bullshit because i was never given specific curriculum.

they wanted a babysitter...not a teacher.

i have not had a teaching gig since,because i didnt learn the lesson they are drilling into those kids brains.....obey.

sit down.
shut up.
and do what you are told.

do you truly think obedience should be the primary lesson learned at school?

Another David Fincher masterpiece.

Best movie of the year without question.

Don't miss it.

LMFAO!!
not sure if I should masturbate or slit my wrists.
Somehow, I think knowing the translation would only ruin this masterpiece.
I'm sending you some points Newt, since I can't promote this myself!
Congrats on the well earned gold!

Have you ever been to Shalebridge Cradle? I nearly shat my pants.

Thief 3 was very flawed but that one level was a masterpiece of suspense.

Reminds me of Avatar. I watch the first trailer and think "Oh, this looks like a good flick!" and the more I think about the story and consider it's predictability and obvious stupidity, the more it turns me off. Still haven't seen Cameron's oh so great masterpiece.
I don't care much for J.J. Abrams McGuffin fetish (red spheres anyone?) or Nolans plot holes (the Joker is apparently psychic) but at least their movies don't start to look stupid when the first trailers are out. They're becoming stupid once you saw them. And you had a good time doing it, too.
I'll always prefer the stupidity in hindsight over using 10% of my brain to roll my eyes really, really hard in advance.

Fallout 1 and 2 are still hilarious politically uncorrect video game history masterpieces. I usually picked high intelligence values to get more skills, but this clip makes me want to replay them with - a different configuration.
*comedy

"The Black Pussy Cat," from W.C. Field's masterpiece, "The Bank Dick," (1940)
..Shemp Howard, bartender.

Sad to see him actually retire this time... of course I guess there is a chance he might un-retire and give us another masterpiece... Reminds myself I still need to see My Neighbor Totoro...

So you're reducing anyone who enjoys Tarantino's movies into a screaming fanatic? That's bonkers yo.

While we're stating opinions as obvious global fact, Jackie Brown is his masterpiece.

@MilkmanDan if you'd have been Truman you'd most-likely have picked at least one of these two targets as both were of military industrial significance and Nagasaki was such as well as a major port. Another criteria with regards to studying the blast effects was that the city chosen must not have been heavily bombed previously-They wanted a clean pallet for this little masterpiece of destructive power...can't recall now but there was a list of about 10-12 targets to choose from.

Thank you very much for this very interesting post. It is really amazing how they managed to even get the film off the ground, let alone end up with a masterpiece.

I don't know. The original was a masterpiece. The satire and social commentary was inspired.

To expect that much again is probably asking too much. The very reason they're rebooting everything is because they are self-evidently out of ideas.

Interestingly, has anyone noticed how children's flicks are not endless reboots? I mean, there are the obligatory 2nd and 3rd versions of successful films, but in the past decade or so they've put out a lot of new stories. Not so for original films for adults.
