Spaced.
It's a particularly awesome achievement when one considers that Natalie Dormer is not exactly overly gifted by nature in that department, but it's still the most memorable part of her character's physical appearance.
Oh I agree. It's not gratuitous. I just want credit where credit is due.
This is the sort of problem that highlights the superiority of "actually performing an experiment" over "making stuff up."
If you can't watch this, but you can easily scarf down a hamburger or chicken wings, you're totally being a hypocrite. Man up and see what real life is like, and not the Matrix you live in eating your nicely packaged food. Killing prey is nasty work, and it's needed for survival, and should teach us to be thankful…
How about what happens to a pride of lions when an old male is deposed by a younger/stronger male? First thing that happens is that all of the ex-king's cubs are slaughtered while their mothers watch and do nothing, which soon puts them in a state of sexual receptivity. So, the lionesses eventually present themselves…
From everyone's reactions here, I was expecting that to be waaay worse than it was. Just seemed like regular animal predation to me. But it did remind me I have a ton of meat in my freezer, so now I'm off to cook a steak.
I'm quite surprised to read that Attenborough is this susceptible to anthromorphic behavior. Chimp predation behavior is no more or less upsetting than any other animal predation behavior once one sets aside primate-centric preconceptions.
Don't forget that if our ancestors hadn't switched from a mainly vegetarian diet to a primarily carnivorous diet, they never would have evolved past bipedal apes. Several early hominids switched back, their evolution stalled, and they died out. Scenes like this are part of our evolutionary heritage.
I'm gonna play Martin Luther and nail a letter to the movie theater doors. "Han Shot First" will be the title.
So, a Council of Nicea, but for Star Wars? Cool.
I have a feeling that Leland Chee has been pushing for this for a while now. Frankly, this is good news for the EU, as we no longer have to deal with stinkers that have no right to be part of the Canon (Glove of Darth Vader, I am looking at you) on the same level as legitimately awesome things like KotOR. Things I…
Does that mean I can stop pretending Dark Empire and Abeloth aren't canon, and actually know they aren't canon? YEAH
Nicaea one!
I see a new Blu-ray on the horizon. Star Wars: The Unbutchered Edition. I'd buy it :X
It's like Star Wars is getting its first Ecumenical Council.
In LA County, the cops belong to gangs, so it's not hard to imagine.
