Whacking Permalink Archive 26-5-03 There's something disturbing about this. Here's another article on it. Thanks
to Carol B. for the link.
The best
idea I've heard in ages. I swear,
my spam has doubled in the last few weeks, and I'm getting maybe 4-5 times
more than I was a year ago across all my e-mail accounts. Are most other
people experiencing this? Martin Jacques in The Guardian mounts this grotesque defence of "sovereignty". And who's sovereignty does he defend? Why, Saddam and Mugabe's of course. The position Jacques takes is the worst kind of patronising, juvenile, racist cultural relativism: that human rights and democracy are western, colonial, chauvanistic notions, which should not be imposed upon the noble cultures of the past.
What's that then - human beings?
Dammit,
that's what our favourite thugs Mugabe and Mahatir have been telling us
all along. If only we had listened.
Perry
De Havilland dissects this ludicrous ideology in a masterful fashion.
If you're interested in LIbertarian issues, give it a read.
Go to
the Aus Libertarian
forum, and read the "...and Norway?" thread. The ALS
dinners are a lot like this actually: steak, beer and arguing for
bloody hours. Kinda fun really. Gareth
Parker has a good post on
the screeching hypocrisy of a Labor Hollingworth critic. He also points
to and comments on a letter at Slatt's
place, from an ex-Labor worker discussing the appalling Queensland
Premier Peter Beattie's rather curious lack of effort in comdemning infamous
Labor child-rapist Keith Wright. Grabbed myself a bunch of DVDs recently........... Bourne Identity
Personally, I'm a sucker for this sort of spy/action/conspiracy flick. Guns, European cities, car chases and babes. What more do you want? Resident Evil
Now don't get me wrong, I love a good B-movie, but this is an F. I've seen episodes of Sesame Street with more tension. And the sets could have been dragged in from old Dr. Who episodes. The film has one big plus: Milla Jovovich not wearing many clothes. Reign of Fire
And the dragons look great. Could have used more dragon-silhouette-against-the-sunset shots to create a real end-of-the-world feel, but otherwise, the top-notch production values and playing-it-like-drama direction make this nutty B-story a massively entertaining experience. And hey,
those dragons are bad motherfuckers..... |

A
good espionage/action thriller, with the exception of the inclusion of
the all-too-common ballet-kung-fu sequences. Doesn't anyone have real
fights in movies anymore? I've had enough of this pansy Matrix-style
martial-arts dancing.
Man,
this is one of the biggest pieces of crap ever made. Computers and Zombies
run amok in some underground research facility...or something. Highlander
2 had a better script than this shitpile. 
Now
this, my friends, is how you make a B-movie: by getting good actors,
a good budget, and making it like an A-movie. Essentially, the world of
the early 21st century is overrun by dragons. Director Rob Bowman (X-Files)
does a top-notch job of creating the post-apocalyse atmosphere. Christian
Bale plays the noble hero well.
