'I dream of the U.S. one day fighting for the liberation of the oppressed Ugandan people,' said Ankole as he nursed his bloody stumps. 'But, alas, our number-one natural resource is sugar cane.' Ankole, whose wife, parents, and five children were among the 4,000 slaughtered in Uganda's ethnic killings of 2002, then bowed his head and said a prayer for petroleum.

Alien 5: Whilst promoting 'Holes', Sigourney Weaver talked with The Chicago Sun Times about a further 'Alien' adventure: 'Ridley Scott and I have talked about it a couple of times. He has some ideas. If we developed a good script, I'd love to play Ripley again. I've always felt so grateful to Ridley Scott because he gave me my first job...The only thing I'm not interested in is going to earth. I saw that 'Star Trek' movie where they went to Earth and ... yawn. I think it's more fun to go to a foreign planet--especially now. Who wants to come to Earth now? Let's go far, far away! Fantasy is what we need!'.

589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	I don't know. I am merely a puppet of the NPCs.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	my first question: are you going to tell us the truth or merely lies?
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	RTG folk: game Sunday. You are meeting another Font of (Mis?)Information, so have questions ready.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	5) Will the male 12-year-old target audience ever figure out that their fantasy hottie is old enough to be their mother? 6) Will Neo recreate the Matrix to resemble the world of Point Break? 7) Will Morpheus tell anyone about his hidden stash of cheeseburgers?
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	Here is my opinion on what is going on with the Matrix. In the first one, the machines created a perfect world, but the human mind would not accept it, so it was a 'monumental failure'. So, they created a second, less than perfect, world. As the Architect said 99.9% of the people accepted it. I think that the machines, not being stupid, decided to create another false world outside of the 20th century world. This is for those 0.1% of minds that could not accept what they saw. This new world allows them to think that they are fighting for the freedom of mankind and keeps them from noticing the imperfections in the world because Zion is by no means a perfect world. In the end they are still just coppertops. I think Neo is the One that can change the laws of both worlds, not just the 20th century one, which we saw at the end with the sentinels. That is why he is so powerful in the 20th century one, because to him, it is almost like us playing a kids game. Doing the math, if the 250,000 people in Zion represent the 0.1%, then that means that the population in the matrix is just under 250 million, or just slightly less than the population of the US. At 12,000 BTU per body, that is 3 billion BTU, which will run a few lightbulbs. Now, I have several questions remaining 1) What is Smith up to? 2) What happened to the Architect? 3) Is the Oracle working for the System or freelance? 3a) If the System, why help Neo? 3b) If freelance, why? 4) If the people in Zion are plugged into a Matrix, can they wake up?
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	I could also have had an obtuse moment. It's certainly happened before. I may have unconsciously given up on the movie early on, resulting in me not paying close enough attention. If so, sloppy movie viewing on my part.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	I caught it the first time. I did not think it was obscure. He was also the guy in the coucil chamber trying to urge his captain to go look for the Nebudchanazar (sp?)
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	Babylon 5, Season 3 -- August 12
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	He's the fellow who Smith blends with before he can reach the phone. Later, he's seen attempting to sneak up on and attack Neo in Zion. I also missed it at first. If a key plot point is that difficult to communicate, something's wrong with the writing. It's the last image of the film, for crying out loud, and a lot of viewers aren't getting it.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	spoiler for those of you who havne't seen matrix reloaded: i didn't know this until i read it on this modern world: the guy at the end is the 'human' agent smith! i totally missed it while watching it.

589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	In a recent interview, Joss shares the irony that he was able to tell the story he wanted to tell in the Buffy movie -- about a ditzy and self-absorbed girl becoming heroic -- through Cordelia, from her run on 'Buffy' through to her arc on 'Angel'. Struck me as interesting, the idea of Cordelia playing out the originally-intended movie-Buffy arc, and series-Buffy playing out a whole different outcast-makes-good arc.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	The multiple Agent Smiths was the kind of thing I had hoped we'd see in Episode II. But noooooo, all we got were hundreds of some scruffy guy eating in a cafeteria and stupid ol' clone troopers.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	Oh, Jesus, that would have been funny. Especially if you've seen 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,' in which the guy who plays Smith (whose name completely escapes me at this moment...ah, Percocet!) plays flaming drag queen. 'Twould be funny if he had on a little sequin number underneath that smart black suit, and all the Smiths start line dancing to 'We Are Family.'
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	in the scene with the multiple mr. smiths, i kept waiting for them to break out into sometype of line kicking routine.

589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	I'm sure Angie appreciates her importance, and the game will not be postponed.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	why don't we just postpone the game until finney can join us? i don't think waiting another 2 weeks would kill anyone. i want angie to understand how important she is to the campaign.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	Johnathan's right...I will sadly be unable to join you all at Sunday's game. My energy level is as such right now that I know I'm in the big time if I can walk to the living room and back! But it's okay...'tis for a worthy cause! Thank God my desk isn't too far from my bed, 'cause I'm such an internet junkie that I'd die if I couldn't blog and stuff... On a Buffy note, I just saw Amy (Willow's witch friend that lived as a rat for a while) in a Dove Shampoo commercial. That's kinda sad.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	The good news is, Angie is very pleased with the results -- not only will her Movement rate increase by 5, but she won't have to lose the 'Great Cleavage' feat.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	From what I can gather as an observer, the effect of breast reduction surgery is similar to being hit square and full force in the chest with a baseball bat. The initial days of recovery appear comparable to repeatedly dipping one's testicles every few minutes in scalding hot water. I think it's safe to say that Fennie will be gathering supplies and tending to the horses this Sunday.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	Are you going to show us on Sunday? ;) Wait a sec.... Johnnathtan....It was a joke...Put the Great Sword down.....

Just up and about to get some blood pumping through my legs, then off again to nappy nap land. Thanks for the love and laughs! Sha la la la...

589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	You could just make stew of them for Richard tonight; say they're at a friend's house. It will be hours before he figures it out, and he'll be well on his way to digesting them.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	i'm watching my 2 stepchildren today and they are trying me nuts. the 2 year old, who is autistic, has just been hyper and demanding cereal all day, and the 4 year old has been throwing tantrums because he's not getting attention because i'm having to spend so much time with 2 year old. i've put them in their room for nap time. actually, it's mir's relaxing time but they don't need to know that. and i'm still depressed about anya.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	how now, fair bunny?
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	good idea johnathan and quite tasty.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	From The Washington Post, summarized in The Week: About 40,000 human embryos are being stored in freezers in fertility clinics throughout the U.S. Most are leftovers from previous fertility treatments and will never be used. President Bush has prohibited the embryos from being used in stem cell research, and most couples would prefer to keep them frozen indefinitely, rather than destroy them. 'People just can't cope with the decision,' says an official with the American Infertility Association. ....until one quiet and otherwise innocuous evening, when, without warning, as one, they all...awakened.

589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	Chris - I did see Farscape from time to time. Honestly, I forgot all about it when making my list. I liked it fine, but got frustrated with SciFi's handling of it. Current season this week. First season next week. Not on the following week. For the record, I HATED the way it ended. It actually seems that the producers were caught by surprise when it was cancelled, thus the 'to be continued'.
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	Enterprise - With the more serious overtones being set up for next season, does anyone think that we may be seeing the beginnings of the Empire instead of the Federation?
589,736	male	35	Technology	Aries	05,August,2004	Ben - Your post struck a nerve, which surprises me. While many of the articles/comics in the links you post piss me off to no end, I accept them as reflective of your views and not you trying to tell me how to act or think. You don't necessarily share our passion (to strong a word but I can't think of a better one) for Buffy. That is fine. I don't get most of the song lyrics that are ocassionally posted here and have actually stopped reading them. I don't complain about them being here, I just don't participate in the discussion about them. While this group is small, it is diverse. We all have things we like and don't like, things we will agree on and things we won't. I like discussing things with other people, as I assume we all do or we wouldn't be posting here. Please, let's not place restrictions on what we discuss. I am not angry with you about your post, but it did pluck something. I think JLS was correct in that if this discussion had been about B5, you would have been involved, but someone else who did not share your passion for it might not.

Sigourney speaks out. Make of it what you will... Alien 5: Whilst promoting 'Holes', Sigourney Weaver talked with The Chicago Sun Times about a further 'Alien' adventure: 'Ridley Scott and I have talked about it a couple of times. He has some ideas. If we developed a good script, I'd love to play Ripley again. I've always felt so grateful to Ridley Scott because he gave me my first job...The only thing I'm not interested in is going to earth. I saw that 'Star Trek' movie where they went to Earth and ... yawn. I think it's more fun to go to a foreign planet--especially now. Who wants to come to Earth now? Let's go far, far away!

5) Will the male 12-year-old target audience ever figure out that their fantasy hottie is old enough to be their mother? 6) Will Neo recreate the Matrix to resemble the world of Point Break? 7) Will Morpheus tell anyone about his hidden stash of cheeseburgers?

Here is my opinion on what is going on with the Matrix. In the first one, the machines created a perfect world, but the human mind would not accept it, so it was a 'monumental failure'. So, they created a second, less than perfect, world. As the Architect said 99.9% of the people accepted it. I think that the machines, not being stupid, decided to create another false world outside of the 20th century world. This is for those 0.1% of minds that could not accept what they saw. This new world allows them to think that they are fighting for the freedom of mankind and keeps them from noticing the imperfections in the world because Zion is by no means a perfect world. In the end they are still just coppertops. I think Neo is the One that can change the laws of both worlds, not just the 20th century one, which we saw at the end with the sentinels. That is why he is so powerful in the 20th century one, because to him, it is almost like us playing a kids game. Doing the math, if the 250,000 people in Zion represent the 0.1%, then that means that the population in the matrix is just under 250 million, or just slightly less than the population of the US. At 12,000 BTU per body, that is 3 billion BTU, which will run a few lightbulbs. Now, I have several questions remaining 1) What is Smith up to? 2) What happened to the Architect? 3) Is the Oracle working for the System or freelance? 3a) If the System, why help Neo? 3b) If freelance, why? 4) If the people in Zion are plugged into a Matrix, can they wake up?

He's the fellow who Smith blends with before he can reach the phone. Later, he's seen attempting to sneak up on and attack Neo in Zion. I also missed it at first. If a key plot point is that difficult to communicate, something's wrong with the writing. It's the last image of the film, for crying out loud, and a lot of viewers aren't getting it.

In a recent interview, Joss shares the irony that he was able to tell the story he wanted to tell in the Buffy movie -- about a ditzy and self-absorbed girl becoming heroic -- through Cordelia, from her run on 'Buffy' through to her arc on 'Angel'. Struck me as interesting, the idea of Cordelia playing out the originally-intended movie-Buffy arc, and series-Buffy playing out a whole different outcast-makes-good arc.

From The Washington Post, summarized in The Week: About 40,000 human embryos are being stored in freezers in fertility clinics throughout the U.S. Most are leftovers from previous fertility treatments and will never be used. President Bush has prohibited the embryos from being used in stem cell research, and most couples would prefer to keep them frozen indefinitely, rather than destroy them. 'People just can't cope with the decision,' says an official with the American Infertility Association. ....until one quiet and otherwise innocuous evening, when, without warning, as one, they all...awakened.

Ben - Your post struck a nerve, which surprises me. While many of the articles/comics in the links you post piss me off to no end, I accept them as reflective of your views and not you trying to tell me how to act or think. You don't necessarily share our passion (to strong a word but I can't think of a better one) for Buffy. That is fine. I don't get most of the song lyrics that are ocassionally posted here and have actually stopped reading them. I don't complain about them being here, I just don't participate in the discussion about them. While this group is small, it is diverse. We all have things we like and don't like, things we will agree on and things we won't. I like discussing things with other people, as I assume we all do or we wouldn't be posting here. Please, let's not place restrictions on what we discuss. I am not angry with you about your post, but it did pluck something. I think JLS was correct in that if this discussion had been about B5, you would have been involved, but someone else who did not share your passion for it might not.
