I think he wants to maintain the impression that the SS was threatening to children.  He's not going to kiss up to the SS like he would the FBI.  If you look at the real life FBI's response plan for 'Ten-year old kids riding bikes with a harmless alien', you'd see 'Blast 'em with a LAW'.

That's how the show "ALF" ended.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Pulling a Yi, just caught the last couple minutes of Fight Club. Great movie. :thumbsup:

Only good thing about that series.
PDH!

Walking Dead is really good. When the last episode ended I looked at my watch, incredulous that an hour had passed. And according to a trailer for next week, we're in for a shitload of zombies.

Agreed.  Last night's episode continued the streak of quality bits from TWD.  Hope they can keep it up for the next four.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Do you watch the talk show The Talking Dead that comes on right after a new episode?  They had the writer with them last week, said the "Zombie Quotient" gets ratcheted up substantially over the rest of this season's episodes.

So, judging from the last night's episode of Glee, Ryan Murphy just misses American Horror Story.

The Class.  Good.  So much better for being French than Hollywood on the same subject. 

Whoever designed the marketing should be fired.  The poster prepares you for a high school comedy.  A Jean Hugues film:

Which would be great, but The Class isn't really anything like that.

Watched a tiny bit of Shaolin Soccer the other night.  Same dude as Kung Fu Hustle, so I was expecting more brilliance.  It was crap.

G.I. Joe: The Movie.  The cartoon, that is.  Good fun.  It compares unfavorably to the Transformers movie, but what doesn't?  I really liked the inclusion of such a bizarre element as Cobra-La.  A bridge that eats people?  Remarkable.

The Zookeeper.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Some good gags, and the animal effects were flawless.

Meh.  The opening at the Statue of Liberty is great.  The rest is pretty much crap.  Watched Red, White, & Blue on Sundance tonight.  Wow.  They feture some seriously funky and fucked up movies on that channel.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1465505/

Actually, I spent most of the time laughing during this movie. The "pupils" were very good at playing themselves as dumb and ignorant. Mistakes like that would be too much for primary school, at least not so long ago. The "Imparfait du Subjonctif" sequence is comedy gold.  :yes: For the non-French specialist, that's a very formal tense, only in use in litterary settings, specially in older novels in the pre-1960s  (Camus l'Etranger is famous for doing away with it and passé simple Past historic).
As for the ghetto aspect, they are more like wannabees since they live in Paris not in a lousy and far away suburb and their area (XX arrondissement) is getting boboised as we speak :( Of course, when I watched on the cinema, they showed subtitles at times  :lol: For elderly people I suppose.

If you really want to hear how youths in the suburbs speak try l'Esquive or Games of Love and  Chance in the English meh title
