    Cowboys & Aliens

    I suppose it was art house... but movies are an art, and like any art, it's a personal thing. I prefer moving pictures to stills - have you seen Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait - even if you hate football its still a great film/ piece of art. But back to Cowboys & Aliens, it looks like a good...

    Cowboys & Aliens

    I quite like Peter Greenaway - have you seen Belly Of An Architect? Worth watching.... I watched the cook the thief etc etc because a girl I was dating was an art student and I thought it would impress her. The film was good, I enjoyed it, but she started talking on and on about the symbolism...

    Cowboys & Aliens

    or you could go all out and really mix up the genres.... "Ronin Alien" dir. A. Kurosawa (okay so he's dead but it would have been a cool film)... or "The Cook, The Thief His Wife and Her Alien" dir. Peter Greenaway..... "Brideshead Alien - A Merchant Ivory Production".... - have Igone too far...

    US Launches Mystery Space Plane

    ... it would be nice to think that the DoD would use it for something interesting and useful rather than task it to pin point munitions, eavesdrop on people etc etc - but YOU have paid for it from your taxes. Don't you think you should have a say in how it is used?

    US Launches Mystery Space Plane

    Look at the following statements and discuss: In a recent meeting with reporters, a top Air Force official rejected those types of suggestions. "I don't know how this could be called weaponization of space," said Gary Payton, deputy undersecretary for space programs. "Fundamentally, it's an...

    Stolen Valour

    We had a similar case over here in England not too long ago. Some old fella was posing as a WWII veteran with more medals than you could wave a stick at till someone pointed out that in order to have received some of the medals he would have needed to have been in several campaigns at the same...

    The Invaders... and other programmes I'd like to be brought back....

    Does anyone know what the outcome of The Invaders was? Did David Vincent ever get to the end of his mission? I used to watch this show when they broadcast it on Channel4 some years ago, but it was always on a Sunday morning and I was living in a house with 3 other guys and a girl so the video...

    Louis Jarvis

    Well it seems this show has not only stirred up a hornets nest, its put on its best kicking boots and taking a 20 yard run up! It was a tricky one to follow I grant you that and towards the end I found myself thinking about what I could have been doing for the previous couple of hours but it...

    Does the Past Exist Yet?

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... my head hurts after reading this! If I read this right then the fours years I spent studying history at university was a waste of time! Thank you Robert Lanza. You bast**d! I think this is more a philosophical question than a physics question. If I...

    Best Rock Band and Worst

    I was never a fan of The Fall - alot of my friends were but I just couldn't get into them... early Napalm Death... the jury has always been out with that one... I agree with you comments about Nirvana, but not sure how Dave Ghrol managed to be so successful with Foo Fighters... stadium...

    Best Rock Band and Worst

    Dinosaur Jr terrible - take that back sir and damn your eyes! (Chuckle) - well it must be a generation thing. All these bands were considered alternative at the time ... but then went onto achieve some sort of mainstream recognition... maybe there is a parallel(?) with the attitude towards the...

    Are there too many commercials?

    I miss the old one, This is Tamara from Name Chief (I never could quite make what she was saying) ..... I liked her voice..... but as Gene says its a trade off. I can put up with a few more commercials for a bit more discussion.... now where can I get some military surplus... any ideas?

    Hypothetical

    I would agree with Paul - the best research is done through collaboration rather than going it alone, but while at university I was given a few pointers that I found useful when studying for my degree. Be mindful of the eyewitness - you're asking someone to recall events that are very...
