That's great that they did a German version and that it still works. Maybe not the rhyming so much but it does start off sounding like a beer hall drinking song.

All together now:

I would like to see a study comparing prison and military time versus general population (not just blacks vs non-blacks). I wonder how they would actually correlate.

So I've been doing it wrong. I stayed out of prison. But on the other hand I spent most of my adult life in the Army, which has the same advantages of prison - three meals a day, a roof over my head, access to healthcare. Make of that what you will.

+1 for the Babylon 5 reference.

Re: Untitled Alien Spaceship Movie

Wow. This would be a neat wrinkle to add to a Fantastic Voyage remake. The miniaturized ship has to battle enemy nanorobots wrapped in red blood cell membranes.

Yeah, when it started the "MTV cops" idea was still a fresh idea (but then MTV was still a fresh idea and actually showed music videos). Unfortunately the show's success killed it and it turned into a parody of itself.

@bob_d: The premise was highly improbable but I didn't think it rose to the level of sci-fi. But the line is fuzzy so different people see it differently.

@RandomArt: I don't remember it being marketed as fantasy (other then the opponents being mysterious) but I'm not saying you're wrong. I thought it was a good action movie but of course it's a matter of personal tastes.

The 13th Warrior is a sci-fi film? I must have missed that part.

So from the trailer I get talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, Keira Knightley getting spanked, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

From the article: "Oh,and since he's a racist and a rapist, I don't think we really need to get invested in his character."

First off, "Maggie, one of Pope's men "??? I'm pretty sure Maggie was a woman. But I could be wrong.

I'm thinking early 70s too because I think I actually saw this on TV when I was a kid back then.

The watchmen watch each other. The one thing a watchman is afraid of is another watchman. The system works as long as everyone is a little paranoid of everyone else.

Between this and and the last post about surveillance cues I'm feeling the urge to put up another layer of tin foil on the walls of the Ghost lair. After I use some needle nosed pliers to get that chip out of my nose.

*looks at picture above*

So having a picture of Big Brother always visible really does work.
