    The Power of Nightmares (BBC2 Weds night)

    Here is a rather different take on Qutb. http://www.redmoonrising.com/Ikhwan/MB.htm Found it as a reference in this "short story" http://www.rense.com/general66/blair.htm

    What the hell is happening here?

    You'll also note in that article about the plane: When W ran to congress about Terry Schiavo, to use this case as a political football, I thought I would point out the obvious hypocrisy displayed when one looks at his record of executions as governor of Texas, including the unseemly mocking...

    US funds development of Terminator Army

    The USa is totally insane and they have the means, or believe they do. Too bad W didn't accept Saddam's offer of a duel. Still this might be better than the "Chemical Soldier". By the way, there was a publication called "The Lobster" Does anyone read this mag, apparently online only.

    Waking Life

    Seems I was wrong about the amount of hand time that goes into the film. Of course some wil argue that it is not really hand time because it is digital. I have to admit it is disconcerting to hit a a button and a few sliders and turn a photo into a watercolor. The issue for me is one of...

    Waking Life

    Good point. All of Linklater's film have a dreamy disconnected feeling about them so I don't think the effects are an attempt to provide cover. I guess maybe the phrase 'age gracefully' ought to be taken up; things that never seem to go thru the other stages as time moves on. I wonder if...

    Waking Life

    I used the word "Photoshop" as a catchall for digital manipulation. The film was not animation in the normal handmade sense of the word. Not at all. I can make very similar effects using Photoshop by running it thru a few filters. I think Disney's work is usually stunning, especially Fantasia...

    Waking Life

    It's always interesting to watch the transition from cutting edge to quaint to "classic" Metropolis still resonates. Although Star Wars never really did.

    "What the Bleep Do We Know"

    I just ordered the book "Turning Point" by Fritjof Capra to pursue some of these ideas a little further. About the scientific claims in the film particularly the water changing words I would need a lot more to convince me. Fascinating idea though. The ultimate reality about some of these ideas...
