You also have to consider that the Persians and Hittites had pretty much the same gods as the Hindus and the former had a lot of contact with the Greeks.

Well, quite honestly you find some of the same gods in nearly every human culture. Everyone has a warrior type culture hero, a fertility goddess, a trickster and some sort of sky father god with his opposition, often a brother or relative.

Very few jokes hurt my soul the way that one did. Well done.

As much hand-wringing as there is about globalization, there was robust trade between Classical Era Europe and India. Upper class Romans cooked with Indian spices, and people in India used Greek pottery. (Also, coins minted in Iraq have been found at Viking burial sites. People got around 3000 years ago.)

Tom Lehrer’s Elements song just about qualifies ;-) And it is educational.....

It’s not even good capitalism. Inserting this much risk back into the market is what leads to recessions/crashes...

My problem with them is more that people have been saying these types of things about America (that it used to be good and is now worthless and dead) for well over a hundred years - probably much longer than that. You could probably stack an entire landfill with books, articles, pamphlets, films and documentaries on…

“Now the story of a once wildly cult popular show that lost everything, and the misguided steps from the creator and certain cast members who brought it all crashing down”

I like the assertion that maybe intolerance and fear of the unknown are the real geostorm.

Right. Mind-fuck.

Theatrical release date: November 14, 2079

The people who did Lost in La Mancha actually are making a sequel now, and this should make a nice twist ending.

I remember it being surprisingly boring for a movie about a crazy Canadian building a totally impractical mile-long cannon for Saddam Hussein. Especially since it also starred (checks IMDB) Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey Christopher Plummer, Clive Owen, and Francesca Annis.

I do, but you won’t be able to charge your iPod while connected to the horse

My biggest unanswered question is how did they sneak an old-school Hanna-Barbera cartoon in there and does it mean we’ll get more Disney owned characters in the next Lego movie?

So... in six months Apple will unveil new connector without warning and Na’vi not will be able to function without buying expensive adapters?

I think you’re forgetting that Max Schreck created the genre in the 1920s when before and after making Noseraftu he failed to pay any taxes to the Weimar Republic for 6 years...

“All hail Keya Morgan and his benevolent regime! Signed, old man.”

Get bilked for all I’m worth by my daughter and her lackeys, or live with Kevin Smith . . .

Though if you watch them in just the right order, every movie can be the scariest movie you’ve ever seen.
