Both of them! I love the Thing with Two Heads: A White Bigot's Head on a Soul Brother's Body.
Also I grew up on the Godzilla movies. CGI was made for these things and so far all they have done is one crappy Mathew Broderick flick. The need to remake all the old monster films.
would we even know who M.B. is?
and three years earlier.OH and his dad played RAY (husband of Alice) in "Alice's restaurant"!
The truth will set you free but can you handle the truth?
and Ally Sheedy was in it. But Ferris was the big one. I saw him in The Producers on Broadway and could only think how he wasn't fit to hold Gene Wilder's binky.
He starred in the greatest Civil War movie ever made, "Glory", alongside a superb supporting cast: Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman and Andre Braugher
Radix Omnium Malorum Avaritia
Most of the charm of those films was in the cheesiness of the effects, and the wonderful off-sync dubbing. Re-do them and all you'll get is dumbass CGI LOOK AT ME nonsense. The expensive FX will only make completely obvious just how SILLY the stories are.

The current Pope evidently helped a pedophile priest in his archdioceses in the 1980's. The priest is accused of sexually abusing more children later on.
Also, the RCC's chief exorcist suggests that Satan himself has infiltrated the Catholic Church (eek).
Gee, in light of the first article, I wonder where the exorcist would get that impression? :S
"The greatest tyranny is censoring information in order to be better able to control people." - Cristina Saralegui
the Texas State Board of Education has decided to re-write history for the new textbooks to be used in public schools...in Texas as well as the rest of the nation. Perhaps the RCC could hire that group of sub-humans to re-write the history of the RCC, and it might get them out of some of the hot water they are in right now. I can't believe we allow one little group of people in Texas to decide what children will be taught in schools. Is there any wonder this nation is in such a mess?
influence the curriculum for school children all over the country. *sigh* Someone on Dylan Ratigan or Ed Schultz's show said that many teachers will eventually put together their curriculum from information gathered on the internet. That doesn't make me feel too much better... :S

What I'm hearing (and reading), among other things, the Texas history rewrite is saying Joe McCarthy was vindicated, and they're saying that America has a manifest destiny to nation build, or something like that. Which is nothing more than to indoctrinate youths to endorse the unending pouring of money into the military industrial complex that Ike warned against. We can take it for granted that Ike's warning is deleted from the historical revision?
At some point, sooner, rather than later, I am going to post the case (on an open thread) where the facets of totalitarianism are beginning to gel, within the Republican camp.
I have it all, but I suppose I need the substantiation, which I don't have at this point.
But, there is the ...
1.) Indoctrination (Texas *history*)
2.) Propaganda
3.) Unitary Executive (der Führer)
4.) Detention bill. This detention proposal juxtaposed upon this situation may very well allow the jailing of dissenters for sedition? I saw the advancement of the theory on Fox that those who oppose the President "in a time of war" with respect to the Iraq nation building endeavor be seen as sedition.
5.) The ACTA treaty, that is a "National Security" secret, where your ISP monitors your data transmissions.
6.) The buy-in of a majority of Americans that reducing liberties is necessary to counteract terrorism. This would really reach back to the propaganda.
There's more, but the gist is, there is a difference between the republican and democrat. Sotomayor versus Scalia should be enough, but there is much, much more.
If you can't tell the difference between a Democrat and Republican, even corrupt Democrat and corrupt Republican, then you might want to watch this entertaining, (but not newsworthy) clip (7 minutes) from the Sovereign movement. You're not as far removed from this gentleman as you'd like to be.
have adopted a new educationl program. Guess what Texas's position is on it. They want to put Rush and other right wing nuts into their's.
Kinda goes against the further expenditures of dollars towards public education.
And while these ideologues design the curriculum, not based on science, the foreign countries, whose curriculum's are heavily weighted in science and mathematics, are going to eat our lunch. And, an ideological movement, which is the Republican party, can't rely on people who can critically think, and who can evaluate data.
Take the current economic situation. Seems to me, the data indicates that the problem was caused because the Roosevelt era regulations designed to prevent a new depression was eliminated through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley legislation undoing Glass-Steagall, along with this "free trade" exporting jobs, and bringing current wages down to a lower global average. But, we hear nothing about economic data, and everything about economic ideology.
Bush enacted unpaid tax cuts that resulted in the deficits, but any effort to repeal these tax cuts is met by charges of "marxism" along with a pitch that deficits should be met with cuts in Social Security by the right.
So long as economic ideology drives policy, and not economic data, we're going nowhere.
Kinda tying it back in, who wants to spend money for state sponsored indoctrination?
textbooks coming out of Texanistan would have FDR being a republican and Hitler being a democrat, and would go on to tell the story of WWII and how the good republicans saved the world form democratic evil.

stands next week I'll take you up on it. Not that you can't i.d. it, but it's an exotic.
I've also got one of those Brazilian trees that's (real) green, has huge rhinocerous size thorns, extremely large fuscha star shaped flowers, and pods of about 12" that are filled with cotton.
I had a hard time i.d.ing that one, but it turns out the cotton in the pods was used for life perservers some time ago. Was it a baobab tree? I've forgotten.
Ceiba speciosa (Chorisia speciosa). They typically bloom in the fall here.
No problem with the fruit tree. Next week is fine. I used to be a member of Calif. Rare Fruit Growers. Had sapotes, cherimoyas, litchis, etc. After moving to FL, we had waaay more exotics than LA can grow as well.

, some “fruit” trees don't grow fruit at all. Some trees are ORNAMENTAL. A friend down the block planted some fruitless plum trees and I asked him why would anyone plant fruit trees that didn't bare fruit, he said they looked nice. I said some day he may wish they did bare fruit!
The truth will set you free but can you handle the truth?
But my father in law planted it and a few others, it's the only one that survived and they're all supposed to be fruit bearing.
By the way, my cherry tree is just starting to green (I don't know if that's the right word either) but I'm not supposed to have fruit on that for another year.
Grow an apple tree from seed and the fruit from the tree will be unlike the apple the seed came from!
The truth will set you free but can you handle the truth?
s.c. weather is brutal on some types and favorable for others. It seems I'd do better if I wanted to plant an orange or lemon tree.
and cheery trees like a good freeze once a year to get good fruit, If you want a really good eating fruit try an elephant heart plum.

Whoops.
Except for a few right parts of the city (Greektown and Indian Village are still nice), it's such a mess.
Abandoned property- homes and factories- everywhere. No chain grocery stores in the city limits, just mom & pops and bodegas. Failing public schools, roads with potholes that reach from curb to curb...It's pretty depressing if you have to go anywhere in the city that's off the beaten paths.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.

Houses that burned in the 1967 riots are still standing.
That said, Downtown/Greektown/the Stadium area (they're all pretty much the same neighborhood) are nice. And since they put the high fences on the overpasses, you don't have to worry about getting a bowling ball through the windshield on the Lodge as you're headed downtown.

Yep, very sad.
I remember going downtown to visit relatives in the early/mid 60's before the riots. The houses all looked like Clint Eastwood's place in the movie Gran Torino. Yards were also finely manicured and well kept.
Now, those same neighborhoods are drug infested, delapidated ghetto's.
Sad, very sad.

What fun! Saturday afternoons were cool!

Of course they were reruns, but they were on every Saturday night.
I grew up in Tampa. Saturday afternoons were owned by "Dr Paul Bearer's Creature Feature". No one in my neighborhood left their house until his show was over. He always played the old Frankenstein/WolfMan/Dracula movies as well as Godzilla and the monsters.
He died many years ago, and Saturdays aren't what they used to be, but anybody who grew up in the Tampa Bay area in that time would definitely remember his show.
from back in the 60's?? (I was 12ish-teens)....
He was on Friday nights around 11 pm....

a watch list because when she arrived in L.A. from China she had a few grapes in her pocket (she didn't finish them in flight and forgot about them).
Well, she just came back from China and was immediately pulled out of line and searched. She made it through the whole process in like 20 minutes instead of the usual hour or two it takes to normally get through.
What a time saver.
My former employer was notorious about booking business flights last minute (and one-way), so I always got the "extra security" screening. I loved it, especially at airports like Orlando that always had normally horrendous wait times.

Speaking of Orlando- Guess who paid us Central Floridians a visit? That's right - Caribou Barbie, herself and apparently, she's trying to pick a fight with Alan Grayson. From the Orlando Sentinel:
"Palin also singled out one Central Florida Democratic politician: U.S Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando. Palin said voters need to remove the fiery millionaire lawyer in November."
Yeah, sweetcheeks - go fuck with Alan Grayson, see what it gets you.

I went back and re-read the article. I didn't see anything about Jebbie showing up. There was this priceless quote, though, from this genius:

Quantitative easing is the Fed printing of money. This printing of money does require an exit strategy. But, I don't see an exit strategy, because the "free trade" approach will lead to further off-shoring of American job. Because manufacturing is being decimated, the likelihood of a balance budget is slight.
Until economic policy is based on data indicating what works, as opposed to economic ideology, where the data is trumped by the ideology, we're going nowhere.

I remember seeing this at the drive-in when I was about 8 years old. My parents used to pack us up in the station wagon once a month or so, along with a cooler full of sandwiches and potato tortilla, for a double bill, usually Japanese monster movies. Sure were good times!
There's always free cheddar in the mousetrap, baby. - Tom Waits
I envy you that you were able to see this in a drive-in, I'm not old enough to be around in those times. Also the DVD of this movie won't disappoint, it includes both the Japanese and U.S. versions, and the U.S. one is newly restored in widescreen.
walk through the woods to the back of the drive in and sit on a rock or bench and watch movies. I'd even go to the snack bar and sit down and enjoy the show.
Nothing like it.
When I was younger we went to drive ins to actually watch the movies. When I got my driver's license however, that practice came to an end. Thank goodness for the behemoth cars of the 70's.

That "widescreen"? How does that work, exactly? I mean, seeing as how this wasn't a widescreen film to begin with?
There's always free cheddar in the mousetrap, baby. - Tom Waits
The only Godzilla movies to be made in fullscreen were the 1954 original and Godzilla Raids Again. The US version of Ghidorah did not have very good source material available for a widescreen version; All of the previous TV and VHS editions were widescreen. In the DVd out a couple years ago, they restored it into widescreen using source material from the Japanese version. However, that trailer that was posted, the widescreen was cropped on the sides, it's not the full image.

Daikaiju are my biggest hobby and I frequent a lot of sites and forums. I also go to a lot of political sites, so it really blew me away to go to one and see a kaiju trailer!
I figured out why Beck wants people to leave their churches. In Michael Moore's "Capitalism. A Love Story" a bishop used the term social justice in an address to the people in Chicago that did a sit in at a window company that BOA cut off loans to.
Is there ever a bad night for a Japanese three-headed monster movie trailor?

It's not like we had sexual relations or anything. Cali sues Toyota,claiming the car company knew its cars sucked. Ahnie has his own Willie Horton-esque moment. Once again, vaccines do not lead to autism. Schumer says, "currency manipulation for me, not for thee." NY cab drivers ripped off customers.
bush/chenny/rove?
These are the times that try our souls.
Sexual indiscretions are the only crimes for which both the American people and the American media demand accountability.
Toyota probably did know, but we don't want any scary, big government regulations!
Well, be fair. It's not like he issued the guy a furlough. He served almost all of his (too lenient) sentence, and then raped again. Arnie's just reviewing the first case. And of course, as Americans always do, rather than proactively address the problem of pedophilia, we'll call for some sort of tighter clampdown on so called sexual offenders, and ruin a lot of lives in the process. Ever meet a person forced to register on one of those lists because when he was 18, he had sex with his 17 1/2-year old girl friend? Or another forced to tell his neighbors and potential employers he's a "sex offender" because he was entrapped by an undercover cop pretending to be a hooker?
No, they don't. There has never been sufficient evidence to back that claim. Thankfully, courts have thus far still demanded evidence (though I can't help wonder whether it's just to protect the corporations that make the vaccines rather than a respect for the scientific method). But never mind. Evidence is not on the forefront of most Americans' minds when they come to empirical conclusions. What they feel is what they know.
Gee, there's a surprise. But why not? In 21st Century America, stealing is the only way to make a secure living.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
Is one of the best films in the franchise. It steals form Matrix, Return of the Jedi, Independence Day, and a bunch of other films - but who cares? It is unabashed, unadulterated, and unapologetic. And King Ghidorah does indeed make a cameo. Pure kaiju goodness!
Yeah it does steal from all of those, but how do any of those things belong in a kaiju movie? That's why I didn't care for Final Wars at all as a Godzilla movie, cause it barely was one.
Anyway, boy does this trailer bring back memories. This was one of the first G-movies I saw. I have all the original 25(?) on VHS, but my VCR broke so now I gotta find them all on DVD.
I respectfully disagree :)
I think the first Godzilla film I saw in the theater was Godzilla vs. Megalon. Yikes that was bad. Though it did have a marvelous cheese factor.
Apropos of nothing, when I saw Godzilla 2000 I thought finally, a real bad-ass mean-looking art design. Why do they keep changing the Godzilla suit every couple years?
What? That's one of the best traditions about Godzilla, all the suits they've had. Although sadly I don't think they use the rubber suits anymore. It's all CG now. I got to say that the best designed one was the main heisei suit that was used after Biollante.
The first one I saw was King Kong vs. Godzilla, which was very cool and got me into the whole damn series.
me to the theatre, and the poster, but not much else.
Hey-- anyone going to one of these, please report back what happened, pro and con. Hopefully there will be media coverage, but without all the screamers, I rather doubt there will be much coverage.
