I’m Calling the UN.

Mirror Wars > Abu Ghraib.

Torture
In addition to state-sponsored torture, individuals or groups may inflict torture on others for similar reasons; however, the motive for torture can also be for the sadistic gratification of the torturer, as was the case with Mirror Wars.

There is bad and then there is Mirror Wars: Reflection One. Let’s see what good_word has to say:

This was a B movie trying to be more - which it could have been. I watched it because it had two of my faves - Malcolm McDowell and Rutger Hauer. I ask them why such good actors, especially Malcolm, would degrade themselves by being in this movie.

How could a movie suck so much?

  • It could have been a good story but it had some major inconsistencies…
  • …despicable dub-in. Did they hire bums off the street to do this?
  • Rutger Hauer is technically in this, but he’s in two scenes. And just what he is, I wasn’t sure.
  • There is a dogfight eventually, but it consists of 2 CGI F-15s shooting 3 CGI missiles at the plane, and the plane “dodging” them.
  • We see him, the good guy pilot, fall in love with an American animal rights person who looks 100% Russian (pretty, but doesn’t even remotely look American)

Alas, we have a masochist in the crowd who suggests that you submit yourself to the travesty titled Mirror Wars:

Did you see a lot of Russian movies lately? Are you interested in seeing one? Then don’t miss “Mirror Wars”! Well, here’s another reason - you see lots of airplanes up close. And, given a good Russian tradition to really fly aircrafts instead of painting exercises, there are plenty of moments where you’ll cheer “WOW!”

It takes all kinds.

The question I asked myself was, “What are my three favorite YouTube videos?”

  1. YouTube - The Happiest Monster :: A Cautionary Tale. They aren’t called monsters for nothing.
  2. YouTube - Charlie : Candy Mountain :: Annoying.
  3. YouTube - Darth Vader Feels Blue :: You are going to want your 87 seconds back.

A story about a caterpillar and a plant: agehacho vs. sansho. Hungry caterpillar 1 - 0 Good deed.

The main point of the story is, that my husband saw the smaller caterpillar far from the sansho tree and as an animal loving human he put the guy in our tree, knowing that this is the right food…

I guess, he underestimated the caterpillar’s stomach…

Getting Your Movie on in Japan.

Warner Mycal’s success story:

Warner Mycal opened Japan’s first multiplex in the Tokyo suburb of Ebina in 1993. Despite the partnership’s steady expansion over the years (by 1998 it had established 20 theaters nationwide), becoming the premier multiplex provider in Japan was a process burdened with not a few complications.

Their concession stands are pretty good. Warner Mycal is also a part of DCI. More on the actual technology of Cinema DLP here.

I am proud to say that I did not use a single wikipedia link.

RoW for the American Man. Chapter VII: On Being French.

On Being French: A Sample Conversation.

What follows is not a work of fiction:

  • Frenchie: hi
  • ME: *To answer or not to answer. I cannot resist.* hi.
  • Frenchie: asl
  • ME: *asl! WTF! That is so 20th Century IRC* you first.
  • Frenchie: 30 m
  • Frenchie: france
  • Frenchie: u
  • ME: 39, M, Tokyo.
  • Frenchie: cam
  • Frenchie: ?
  • ME: *Oh, this is going to be interesting* yes. but not on Adium.
  • Frenchie: ichat
  • Frenchie: do u like sex online ?`
  • ME: *Bold. Bold. Bold.* Explain ’sex online’.
  • Frenchie: cam to cam
  • ME: I have never done anything like that before. Why do you ask?
  • Frenchie: put your cam
  • ME: hmmm, I don’t know. You are male, yes?
  • Frenchie: yes
  • ME: why would I want to have ‘online sex’ with a man?
  • Frenchie: try
  • ME: *!!!!!!* You want me to have ‘online sex’ with you?
  • Frenchie: if you want…
  • ME: *Wait a minute, I didn’t suggest any of this. trying to trick me. Crafty Frenchie.* I don’t know. What do you do?
  • Frenchie: masturbing
  • ME: *Oh, I gotta blog this. How can I not?!* I see. Do you do this often?
  • Frenchie: often ?
  • ME: Do you have online sex many times?
  • Frenchie: no
  • Frenchie: i have do this 2 time
  • Frenchie: it’s new
  • Frenchie: i like…
  • ME: Well, if you were a woman, I might have said, “Yes.”
  • Frenchie: try..
  • Frenchie: u don’t know
  • Frenchie: u want or not ?
  • ME: I’m sorry, I cannot.
  • ME: are you really French?
  • Frenchie: bye.

To be truly French, the only other thing you need to understand is this, “There’s arrogance, breathtaking arrogance, and then there’s the French.”

Anyone up for online sex?

Old Dirty Conservatory. NSFW, but funny as hell:

The Idiot Box.

Facetious descriptions?

My take on the shows I watch:

  • Invasion:

    A show written by a bunch of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Fired.

  • Prison Break:

    Prison Break is the kind of story you get from a group of 10 or 12-year olds. Kid A, “Yeah, let’s have him drill a hole in the wall with an egg beater! I mean, he is super smart and knows how to do things like that!” Kid B, “Okay! And then…”

    NOTE: I enjoy Prison Break.

  • Battlestar Galactica:

    Donatien Alphonse François, marquis de Sade. “Oh, you are attached to that character emotionally? Well, how do you like it when we destroy the character’s life? Does it hurt? Are you going to watch next week? Of course you are. You know you like it.”

  • LOST:

    LOST is that hot chick next door who never puts out. You know, she calls you up and says, “Look out your window,” and proceeds to do a little strip tease act all for you. So you, being a guy, figure you should try to go over and score. Alas, you arrive at her door and she is wearing a granny dress. “Hi. What are you doing here,” she asks. Total tease. PUT OUT YOU BITCH!

  • 24:

    Imagine travelling across the U.S. in a VW Beetle being driven at break-neck speeds by a drunk Kimi Matias Räikkönen (F1 driver). From the back seat Hunter S. Thompson, Robert Anton Wilson, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. tell you a story. The trip will change your life.

    If you live.

Everyone, thank DDA for this find.

“What is Real?”

The Matrix.

So, this guy in Sydney grabbed his camera, found the locations from scenes in the Matrix, photographed them, and then posted the pictures on flickr. Here they are: Sydney Matrix Locations.
