[MoJo Sections: Media] On the contrary, if we simply extrapolated from the usual Hollywood crowd's political statements, we might suppose that he's as big an idiot as the rest of them in that regard. They're actors, for crying out loud.

[Television Tropes & Idioms - Recent Changes] Bilingual Bonus - Television Tropes & Idioms: The linguist responsible for Tolkien's languages in the Jackson-films (David Salo) took the existing stuff and extrapolated from there, creating "Neo-Khuzdul". Happens a lot with Tolkien's languages, as people have been creating new vocabulary for the Elven languages for some time, resulting in Neo-Eldarin languages.

[davekehr.com] New DVDs: Friedkin, Pennell, Otomo - davekehr.com: I am thinking here of Genevieve Bujold in OBSESSION, Margot Kidder, Jennifer Salt and Charles Durning in SISTERS, Angie Dickinson and Keith Gordon in DRESSED TO KILL, Sean Penn in CASUALTIES OF WAR, John Cassavettes in THE FURY, John Travolta in BLOW OUT, John Lithgow in BLOW OUT and RAISING CAIN, Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie in CARRIE, Vanessa Redgrave in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, Michelle Pfeiffer in SCARFACE. This is certainly a better track record then someone like Oliver Stone who seems often committed to defeating his performers (think about Spacek in JFK, Daryl Hannah in WALL STREET, Meg Ryan in THE DOORS, Colin Farrell in ALEXANDER to name a few).

[Mises Economics Blog] Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Atlas Shrugged movie? - Dick Clark ...: Johnny Depp would be somewhat inappropriate as the fearless and totally serious privateer Ragnar Danneskjold, given that he is already associated with playing Captain Jack Sparrow, a fearless but less-than-totally-serious pirate from the Caribbean. Viggo Mortensen would be good as Ragnar Danneskjold, except that the novel Atlas Shrugged describes Ragnar Danneskjold as the stereotypical Nordic warrior with blond hair.

[Roger Ebert's Journal] Roger Ebert's Journal: Roger Ebert: October 2009 Archives: Sorry, but in case you haven't noticed, we are losing the war against tobacco, the landmark case penalizing them for lying and deceiving and enticing kids to smoke was overturned by Bush's Supreme Court, and hundreds of thousands keep dying, and tens of thousands keep lighting up every day...for every tobacco ad that may stop one kid from starting, it only takes one movie idol smoking to get 10,000 to start...kids emulate, adore, worship these people, and if the only thing Bette Davis had going for her was her ability to hold a cigarette, then she shouldn't be on a stamp anyway...she was a beautiful, intelligent, funny, artistic, fantastic actress, and why dumb her up with a cigarette...unless John Wayne's stamp shows him dying of lung cancer on his deathbed, I say it's better without the butt...Coach

[Louis Proyect: The Unrepentant Marxist] No Country for Old Men « Louis Proyect: The Unrepentant Marxist: I’m surprised how many people did’nt understand the ending or at least i think i understood it well enough, at the ending of the movie when the sheriff Tom is sitting down with his wife for a t the table one of the first things that gives you a clue is that she calls him Antwant (THE KILLER IN THE MOVIE), also when at the ending during their conversation he (the sheriff) begins saying something about how he saw himself when he was twenty years younger, and im not sure about this but when antwan is going to kill the cowboy or bounty hunter who tracked him down, the cowboy/bounty hunter/hitman, says to him “do you have any idea of how crazy you are”,now im not saying im right just maybe thats what the ending was suppposed todo surpise a person, by thinking he was remembering something or hes a person having delusions when he kills, idono im not sure really until i see the movie again, anyways id like to get some fedback on the ending if anyones interested. thanks.

[protein wisdom] Help wanted? [Updated and Updated again, final time]: is an ethical position that pre-dates Marx by approximately the length of human history, which was adopted by Marx as a way to overcome the single greatest deficiency of the system he described and argued for after he realized, very late in the process, that the deficiency existed. It was, and indeed remains, the foundation-stone tactic of any Socialist or quasi-socialist society when trying to establish factories or public facilities, absent subsidies from surrounding non-Socialist societies.

[Making Light] Making Light: Lying in the name of God: Yes, I realize that’s probably a rude thing to say, but one can hardly read the gospels carefully without realizing that John’s chronology is explicitly different from that of the Synoptics, for example, and the Tel Dan stela (mentioned above) makes claims that clash with a story early in 2 Kings. Please understand—I’m not anti-Bible (far from it), but I am anti-lying, even on the Bible’s behalf.
