Watched the original Django (1966) which I hadn't seen since I was a teen. Still a fun movie. The main setting (a desolate town in a mud wasteland) feels almost post-apocalyptic.

7 red hoods out of 10.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Quote"Kevin Is Not a Name — It's a Diagnosis!"

We've written extensively about the consequences of baby naming. The name you choose for your children can affect his "Google-ability" or even get you in trouble with the law. A new survey of 2,000 elementary school teachers in Germany finds that your children's names may also affect how teachers perceive them (translation available here). An overwhelming majority of the teachers surveyed associate "traditional" names with positive character traits and non-traditional names with weak performance and bad behavior. The name Kevin has particularly negative connotations; as one teacher wrote, "Kevin is not a name — it's a diagnosis!" Astrid Kaiser, who conducted the study, said, "The names with positive connotations are all traditional German ones. What this shows is that children from a working class or immigrant background are clearly being discriminated against." (HT: Herbert Engels) [%comments]

Cute, quirky little show about a gay guy in Australia.

Bigoted Germans! Unpossible!
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Fast Five was actually pretty decent. Sometimes you just want a movie with lots of fast cars and explosions. /shrug

Decent is a very generous description.

Cant agree more. It's..well...just crap. But it is what the 16-22 or so generation likes. Where I thought Red Dawn was utter crap, guess what, the 16 yo thought it was great. :rolleyes:
our parents probably thought the same of the original Red Dawn :)

I dunno.  I do hope 11B explained to the kid that the 2012 Red Dawn is a work compromised by the ultimate moral cowardice, which is to say any consideration of the People's Republic of China whatsoever that does not involve prioritizing targets, thus making it automatically one of the weakest pieces of art ever produced by humankind.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?
