You people are all adults, for fuck's sake.  Stop reading teenybopper sci-fi like you're on the school bus, all jacked up for AD&D Club that afternoon.  Berg's new bio on Woodrow Wilson is out.  Go read that.

Spoiler: Woodrow Wilson is a weak-tea, socialist racist motherfucker.
ALT-HIST TIME! How would  the inter-war years have developed without that KKK loving sack of shit and his impotent League of Nations?

Claude Rains. :wub:

I just don't see it.

Well not now! Obviously. But in his day.

I was trying to play off the Invisible Man gig. :blush:

Fair enough. I haven't seen it (non-jokical).

:(

Third or fourth best movie made before I was born.

What? :huh:

Beautiful, sure, but I've never seen her be really sexy.  Not even in Gaslight!

It isn't teenybopper sci-fi, it's just been categorized like that because it deals with kids.

Also saw Ender's Game tonight.  It was good, and I think the comment attributed to Card about it "being the best good people could do with a story they care about" is pretty close.

Graff and Rackham were slightly disappointing: [spoiler]In the book, their own clearer struggles with their methods really helped the reader actually consider whether the ends did in fact justify the means.  In the movie, they're both aggressive blowhards who don't even seem to see that there might be a problem until Ender screams at them after realizing that he's just committed genocide.[/spoiler]

All of the characters except perhaps Ender come out a bit flat compared to the book.  [spoiler]Peter and Valentine are pale imitations as well.  Peter is just a bully, not nearly as duplicitous or sadistic as in the book, and Valentine is nothing more than an object of brotherly affection.[/spoiler]

Why would I want to read about that despicable president?

I hope it's the last year of Revenge.  I want to see how it ends, but I can't stand it anymore.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Caught The Goddess on TCM Silent Movie Sundays.  1934 Silent Chinese flick about a woman who goes into prostitution to make money to keep her son alive and aiming for a better life.  I found it quite a good watch.  Have you seen it yet, Sav?  I'd definitely recommend it.

"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

I don't know, I find reading about despicable political figures to be pretty entertaining.  I've read biographies of Mussolini, for instance, and those were very good.
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.
