LMFAO. This is great. The radio was classic.

Fantastic stuff. Gene Hackman helped make this comedy top notch. A shame that such movies now would be protested, boycotted, spammed about, run into the proverbial ground on the endless news cycles, and generally knocked for being things they aren't by small minded people who have nothing better to do. "Blazing Saddles" was perfect for it's time.

Yeah . . . the wife needs some of that now. :-)

I'm sure a lot of people know the tin foil/mag sensor trick, but I was sorely disappointed that this was so easy to bust. So much for improved technology.

Love his commentary. Sharp and witty as always, with enough off the cuff remarks to make anyone laugh.

And that is the reason we win against these assholes who hit us. He got back in the saddle and did his part again. Like him or hate him: by God, he got back up. So did most of us, and those simple acts were all it took to show that we could come out on top. Thank you for this video.

If you look closely, you can determine that images from the American video are here. It was much simpler, with her in white, a male (presumably Todd Rungren) dressed in all black except his face standing a distance behind her. The spotlight lit her from behind while she sang, the band during the middle interlude, and lit him (showing only his face due to the clothing) duing the male vocals. Every time he spoke, he moved a step closer. At the end, he is behind her. His final line "Turn around, bright eyes" causes her to turn and look him in the face for the first and only time in the video, he caresses her face, and the scene goes dark.

Idiot. And that wasn't even a bad storm. Loafers? Come ON! This guy is some kind of newbie who thinks he is brave for recording a typical midwestern thunderstorm. Shame he ran for it at the end. I would have liked to seen the whole thing without his commentary and bolting for safety.

I have one of these Jeep Cherokees. They roll quite easy. On t he plus side, they are cheap to fix and almost ALWAYS land wheels down.

Okay: let's trying to be "honest" about all of this:

Bush screwed the pooch by invading Iraq. No arguement there. He would have been better off riding the wave of anger after 9-11 and simply making the entire mid-east a sheet of black glass. We could be debating the ethnic morals of wasting an entire culture after they were gone right now instead of this current fight.

I seem to recall most of the Democrats bitching about what Bush is doing voted to do it and continue to vote to fund it. They also voted for it when Clinton made a half-assed attempt in 1998, and called it a good idea (so did the Republicans).

Bush lied to the American people. Fact. So did Clinton. Fact. Oddly enough, both of them (along with all their political buddies on BOTH sides) lied about the same thing . . . Iraq and weapons of mass destruction.

Bush means to kill anyone threatening the US, fair or foul. Shame Clinton and Bush's father didn't have the same resolve. Then we could argue about Bush's tax cuts because all the terrorists would be dead or afraid of us and hiding.

Our soldiers are dying in a far away land over something that isn't really a threat to us anymore. Same arguement that people made to keep us out of WW II. It took Pearl Harbor to get us into THAT one, and we lost a lot more troops in that war under the great Democrat leader Roosevelt (no sarcasm: he was a great man, like Kennedy). Too bad more Democrats don't follow their fine example. In those days, the Democrats knew the stakes and were willing to pay the price.

Bush is stomping on freedoms and liberties of Americans. True. So did Roosevelt by the internment camps. So did Lincoln by fighting a war clearly against the Constitution.

Bush is stomping on the rights of our extra-national enemies we hold in prisons around the world. You betcha! I don't remember 19 terrorists reading anyone else their rights on 9-11. And since they AREN'T Americans . . . when did they get rights like us?

Are we in a bad spot right now? Bet your ass we are. Same when the Atlantic War was fought in early 1942 that Roosevelt covered up (research the Tenth Fleet actions to find out about that one), when we couldn't win a battle under McClellan in the Civil War (great doctoring of news releases, though), and when Carter had us so weak on defense in the 1970's that a Soviet victory in the Cold War seemed inevitable. Thankfully, both of those past Presidents (one Democrat and one Republican) knew enough to stick to the fight because it was all that they had left to do, and Carter got the floor mopped with his political corpse by Reagan.

I think that, baring some great shift in common sense, history will bear this President out as well. History tells us that the others were great for doing the same thing.

PS: A mojority elected Bush and the Republicans in 2004. I guess we are doing what the majority wants. Like it or not: by your rules, Bush wins that arguement. (Please don't rehash 2000: it's a dead horse)

Amazingly enough (if memory serves) only one person died in the entire affair, and he chose to stay behind due to being handicapped so he wouldn't slow others down. Older guy. THAT is taking one for the team. I hope his family was well compensated for his sacrifice.

Love Colbert's smooth delivery.

Personally: I have always been a big fan of black glass.

I was driving a truck onto a highway exit ramp, listening to Bob and Tom when the first one hit. My grandfather knew the guys in the bomber that hit the Empire State Building in 1946, so I had heard that story before and thought "accident". When I had made it 4 exits down I head the second plane had hit I switched to the news channel and spent the rest of the day wondering about my uncle at the Pentagon (who was out and about that day and wasn't inside, although the plane didn't hit his office anyway) and generally continuing to do my job.

As for Westy's smart assed comments: I assume you are NOT in America, so you are welcome if we kept you from speaking another tounge than your own native one. If you are from one of the countries we blew the crap out of over the years: get over it.

I remember watching this film in 1st grade. Of course, when the film was MADE, atomic weapons did not have the destructive potential they do now. Also, it was meant as a psychological tool to help people avoid panic should the worst happen. Sometimes it may have been useful to duck and cover. Other times, it was to keep children from seeing the end approaching as a nuclear fireball consumed them.

In the military, we were taught to lie down with the top of our heads facing the expolsion and to hold onto our helmets. This was not meant to save us: it was so that our "dogtags" could be found later and we could be confirmed killed, not simply Missing In Action.

I wonder what films are being shown in school now?
