Look at this a-hole: http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2005/WORLD/europe/0...hussain.met.jpg A scraggy beard and a name like Mohhamend Akublah Hassan Moaddam would be clues to use when looking for these terrorists. According to his parents though, "he was gentle boy who loved people", so maybe they should look at someone else.

Maybe this is why: http://www.zombietime.com/sf_rally_novembe...42-4261_IMG.JPG By the way, this has to be the funniest/saddest photo I have seen in a while: http://www.zombietime.com/sf_rally_novembe...42-4277_IMG.JPG

The blast look like terrorists? Duh, you think so? And who do you think the US is fighting over there? The average Iraq on the street? Don't think so. It's all those lovely Jihad Johnies from places like Syria, Yemen, etc... Isn't lucky for the Iraq people have these !@#$s to come rescue them from US, who were opening a "WATER TREATMENT PLANT"!! My god, we are evil!! I am sure blwoing up all their kids on PURPOSE will really help them out. And don't think for a second this sh-- wouldn't be going on if the US wasn't there. It would be ten times worse if Saddam was killed by Kurds or Shites. If the Iraqs didn't believe in what we we doing, they will be signing up by the thousands to policeman and soliders, risking their lives in the process

I guess the "insurgents" have more on their agenda than getting the U.S. to leave Iraq: "At least 26 Iraqis, almost all of them children, have been killed by a suicide car bombing in south-eastern Baghdad. A US soldier is also said to have died in the blast. Another three US soldiers are reported to have been injured. A car drove up to a US army vehicle and blew up as troops gave sweets to the children, a witness said. Hundreds of Iraqis have died in attacks by militants opposed to the US presence and a Shia-led government that took charge in Baghdad earlier this year. "Many Iraqi civilians, mostly children, were around the Humvee at the time of the blast," US military spokesman Sgt David Abrams told the Reuters news agency. "Suddenly a suicide car bomber drove round from a side street and blew himself up," he said."

If the US just wanted to kill civilians, they could carpet bomb Iraq and make it the world's biggest parking lot. Instead, we have our soliders tip toeing around mosques (that are launching mortar attacks from inside) so they don't offend anybody. Meanwhile Mohhamend Alkunar Aku walks in and blows them up: " suicide bomb tore through a mosque in southern Afghanistan during the funeral Wednesday of a moderate Muslim cleric, killing at least 20 people including the Kabul police chief, and the local governor said an Arab al-Qaida militant was responsible. At least 42 people were wounded."

No, but they allergic to Jews, Catholics, & Hindus...

That was sweet! Thanks for posting it. I now have new favorite blog.

Wow, after reading that article, it is clear that: 1. Muslims first thought is about themselves. They worry about a backlash, not the victims. Plus, I think angry violent mobs are more in fashion is Islamic countries. 2. A lot of the have problems with US/England killing muslims, even if they are terrorists. Because infidels shouldn't protect themselves against Islamic Terrorist I guess,

Sorry pal, oil isn't the only factor out there. I would say they hatred of other religions is the number reason for the attacks. Here are some questions for YOU to answer. If it is all about oil... 1. Why are all the major religious conflicts in the world always Islam vs Hindus, or Christians, or Jews,,,etc. When is the last time a major war or attack was wages by Jews against Hindus, Buddhist against Christians? 2. Why in the terrorist propaganda speeches do they mention attacking the Vatican? What does that have to do with oil or the US's foreign policy? 3. Why in their threats to us to they mention Las Vegas? Hardly because it is a military base. 4. Why is one Osma's demands to us is that we have to convert to Islam? 5. Why do they attack other religions' holy sites? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/07/05/...ain706203.shtml

They have already started blaming the "Jews". Rumors are flying around that Israeli secret service had prior knowledge of the attack. Here are the four stages of response from the Muslim world after one of these attacks: 1. Jump up and down in celebration, laughing and passing out candy, then hide when they see cameras. 2. Blame the Jews. How come more Jews weren't killed? They must have known. Its all a plot by Jews to turn people against Arab Muslims. 3. Blame the US policies. Never mind they were in the UK to discuss a HUGE aid package to Africa. That is an evil plot by the crusaders to infect the Muslims living there. 4. Later on, celebrate the Muslim terrorist who carried out the attack as heroes. And put their poster up in Muslim bedrooms like they are the Backstreet Boys or some other pop star....

Sure, I'd be all for it. But I bet Dick "turbin" Durbin and his pals like Sponge Ted Square Liver will be on the news crying about how we treat these terrorists....

Why not start with this guy: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml...05/wosse705.xml But really, why are asses like him and his buddy that calls to overthrow the British Government and replace it with Islamic law allowed to stay in the country? Get those asses out of there, and the U.S. and be done with it. Let them blow themselves up, since that is what they do best.

Put a big, fake rubber snake in their sleeping bag when they are not looking. I did it to someone, and he screamed his head off, and knock his girlfriend over to running out of his tent.

There was a big ass ape that lived up until 500,000 years ago called "Gigantopithicus" or something like that, that could have been as big as twelve feet tall. Here is a photo of model that based on some old bones: http://www.bfro.net/images/sd_giganto_full.jpg

The old "Trumpet of doom" sound. Yeah that was great. I think in some ways its Spielberg's way of tipping the hat to his "Close Encounters" movie. Remember when the mothership "sings" to the people at the landing base, it kinda of sounded like that. But in a much nicer sounding key. Also, is there supposed to a loud trumpet that plays before the end of the world in the bible? I kinda of thought that was what they were going for...

Didn't have a good year once upon a time? I recall people getting all jacked up about after one year, then he faded.... Or was that Jamie Nails?

What a goof! He is about to have his biggest hit since "Top Gun" and he just might ruin the positive buzz the film is getting. It turns about there has been a "ban" on reviews from the premiere last week, and some people think that means its a flop. To the contrary, the word coming out is that is terrific, scary, and intense. Here is mainly spoiler free review from "Aint it cool news", and I usually agree with this guy's tastes: n short, Spielberg knocked it out of the park. I'm so glad he kept the key imagery out of the marketing. It was so nice to see a big summer event film on the big screen and not feel like I'm just waiting for the bits in-between the sequences from the trailer and other marketing. I was worried a little about Tom Cruise in the film. Not because of all this bull sh-- that has been going on in the last couple of months, but the worry was that Cruise playing the lead would make his character an action hero, not an average person. However, Cruise's character is very real and he plays it very real. Flawed, even. Matter of fact, Ray is kind of an !@#$. He doesn't know how to be a father, so when he takes his two kids (Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin) from his ex and her husband for the weekend it comes off very uncomfortable. His ex doesn't trust him, his kids treat him like a stranger and every move he makes to share some quality time is forced. All this is shown in about 10 minutes of the film. It's not long before the sh-- goes down and once it starts it doesn't stop. I'm going to say right here and now that the sequence where the first tripod is revealed is one of the best directed, paced, shot and performed sequences ever put to film. Pretty high praise, I know, but it's it true. From the moment Tom Cruise arrives at the spot where all the lightning was striking to the moment he walks back through his door... classic scene. The tripods are massive, hardcore and vicious. Everything we wanted them to be. Spielberg shot them throughout the whole movie with a sense of mystery and awe. There's a running theme of mirrors and reflections in the film that is used to great effect. Don't get me wrong... there is still a ton of spectacle and some epic shots, but there's a freshness to the film that I haven't felt from Spielberg in a long time. I loved CATCH ME IF YOU CAN and THE TERMINAL mostly for the character work done by the actors (Hanks in both and Walken in CATCH ME) however I didn't get a sense of them as Spielberg movies. WAR OF THE WORLDS is a Steven Spielberg movie. You feel it in every shot, every performance and every sound. Even before the invasion starts, the camerawork is sharp and creative, keeping an energy to the film, a momentum that builds to the arrival of the aliens. One of the reasons I love JAWS is his creativity with the editing, the camera work and the angles he chose. His recent films haven't looked dull, but this is the first time since SAVING PRIVATE RYAN that I could almost see Spielberg's face on the screen, he's put that much of himself into the film. The film is rated PG-13 and it's a hard PG-13. Some swearing at the beginning... no big deal... But when the Tripods start blasting people... when you see how they create the red weed... Good God, it was awesome. And that's not taking into account the intensity. During the scene I was talking about earlier, the reveal of the first Tripod... I was wondering why the audience was so quiet until I looked down my row and literally every single person in my row (middle aged men, teenage girls, etc) was staring at the screen, mouths hanging open. They were awed. I haven't seen a film do that in a while. Without ruining the surprise, I will say that Spielberg came up with a great way to show the Tripods taking out dozens upon dozens of people... a great visual that signals it has happened even if we don't see it (and we do see a lot of people get taken out, so don't think they use this as a way to not deliver the goods). The effects are stunning, of course. ILM can be iffy these days, depending on the project, but whenever they're working under Spielberg they always seem to be at the top of their game and WAR OF THE WORLDS is no exception. The Tripods are massive and awesome, the aliens (yes, you do get to see the aliens) are creepy and oddly built. They move unlike most aliens I've seen put to screen, although there is a bit that reminded me of ET in their big scene, but, again, I'll let you discover the details of that your own self. And yes, they are aliens, not some alternate dimensional ogres or whatever the hell people thought they were going to be. They managed not to lie in their advertising ("They're already here"), but still kept them aliens from another planet. I will say no more. When I was onset, Spielberg told me he was keeping the film almost solely from the perspective of the family we're following and he wasn't lying. You stick with Ray Ferrier and his kids through it all. As their story weaves in and out of the line of fire we see glimpses of how the rest of the world is affected and we learn a little about the aliens in their encounters with other survivors. The military is seen only briefly, only as Ray and his family come into contact with them, so you don't have big scenes of jets shooting at Tripods until Ray and his family are there. This decision is a brilliant way to exclude any similarity between Spielberg's alien invasion film and Emmerich's. WAR OF THE WORLDS is unique, but still thrilling which is why I anticipate this to be a big hit. The draw will be Spielberg and Cruise, but what'll keep people coming back is how they made the flick. The acting is top notch all across the board. Cruise hits every beat just right and I'm hoping all this tabloid bull sh-- that's been surrounding him lately will be forgotten about once the film begins. I know it all slipped my mind and Cruise and Holmes were in the theater with me, supposedly. I never saw them once, but I'm told they were there. Dakota Fanning proves again that she is deserving of my shocked terror every time I see her on screen or off. She's extremely good in the film, too good. She's like a midget or a realistic android... She's just not right. Her talent, her maturity... all belong to someone much older than she. People keep comparing her to Jodie Foster and I don't disagree. Tim Robbins is cool in the movie, playing a kookie guy that helps Cruise and his family out at an opportune moment. He has a terrific scene with Cruise, played mostly silent with facial expressions and hand gestures... another highlight moment of the film. I didn't feel the movie lose focus or become something it shouldn't have been from this point, like I was worried I was. I think it's a bit of a shock to some people because this is the first time the movie lets you take a breath, the first time it slows down at all. I think it's a much needed moment, especially when you see what happens just previous to it. But the breather doesn't last very long... Justin Chatwin plays Cruise's son. Like his dad, he's a bit of an !@#$ at first, but the compassion he has for his sister (Fanning) goes a long way to making him sympathetic for the audience. Chatwin does a solid job with the character. He's comfortable in front of the camera and it's a good thing, too, because this is probably the least likable character in the film and if Chatwin hadn't been up to snuff he could have really made the character a bore. I hear he's great in CHUMSCRUBBER. He's definitely one to keep an eye on. Morgan Freeman's opening and closing narration is perfect. Freeman doing Welles reading Wells. Freeman's the man.

Looks like the kid was getting picked and stood up for himself. I'm glad he knocked Pocco Gonzolez out.

Jaws Raising Arizona BladeRunner The Outsiders Red Dawn Saving Private Ryan Better Off Dead The Shawshank Redemption The Untouchables Butch Cassidy and The Sunset Kid

That's a good CD. Ever hear the one he did based on the "The Iron Giant" book? Great version of "Fire" on it.

You got that right, buddy. Don't you think its funny that a "band" makes a CD called "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back", which is makes that point that whitey wants to keep all the blacks down, and they end up being rich and make money hand over fist? Kind of like Spike Lee talking about the "man" holding him back, and how racist america is, while he collects six figure checks from Nike and Disney.

Cool!. The last two CDs, "Deadwing" and "In Absentia" have got to be some of the best enginered records I have ever heard. Hope you have good stereo you can crank it up on.

I like Meddle alot, but I still say "Animals" is the most underated. Meddle sounds a bit dated, but listen to "Dogs" or "Pigs" an man they still sound good. Have any of the Floyd fans here heard of a band called "Porcupine Tree"? Their sound has been described as a mix of Pink Floyd and SoundGarden. Great stuff. "Signify" is probably the most Floydish soudning of their CDs: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...8301007-4535323 I really dig their new one "Deadwing". It has a song called "arrive somewhere but not here" that is like 10 minutes long that really sounds like classic Pink Floyd: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...8301007-4535323
