    Dambusting film photo clinched..

    I wonder how they'll deal with the squadron mascot, Guy Gibson's black lab? His name was the derogatory term for negro. The last time I watched the original movies on TV they had blanked out his name and the poiniant scene that showed his grave marker. Ended up "Here _, here boy." More PC...

    Best time machine movie

    There was a superb episode of the last Twilight Zone incarnation of about 3 years ago. They went back in time to when Hitler was a baby and dropped him into a river. The nanny bought a baby from a gypsy woman and passed it off to Hitler's freaky mother. His father saw the difference but so...

    Political Correctness gone mad

    Remember Terry, when the LAPD gets a call about a crime the description of race, age height/weight and clothing appearances are paramount in the bad guys' apprehension. What would enhance the probability of finding the perpetrator- 1. "a white male juvenille 5'7"-5'9" 120 lbs. wearing...

    the bulb

    I have a problem with flourescents. In office settings they are cold and drab and give colors a strange look as well as people. I believe they are unflattering due to a different shadow diffussion. Most for home use are not strong enough even though they advertise a 20 watt is equal to like...

    Political Correctness gone mad

    Political correctness is ruining the world as we know it. When we are in a WAR with extremists who despise all modern western cilivilization and commit terror acts in these countries and yet we do NOT profile them by their physical appearances so as not to offend, we are in seriously flocked up...

    Another pet peeve... mobiles playing music w/o headphones

    I get the feeling that the world suffers from ADD. Everybody has got be entertained, occupied or escape in some way or another to pass time by farting around with some techno device every waking hour. No one can simply sit back and enjoy the ride. Even if it's a pleasant one they modify it...

    Casino Royale

    The production company is to blame for much of the outrageous stuff in most of the Bond movies. It was a oneupsmanship to concoct special effects and stunts better than the last movie's. Whe you see one like From Russia With Love you see the true Fleming concept of James Bond. At some point...

    Snuff anyone?

    Powered snuff was snorted in Europe. Americans, especially keen on divorcing themselves from the "old countries," began "dipping snuff." at first they'd take a twig, moisten it in their mouths and "dip" it into the snuff container and put it under their lip. As one became more addicted he...
