    Pure frenzy!

    Whomever put this together really understands the adrenaline and testosterone addicted culture we’re in now.

    It’s so sad, as there is no reason possible in a culture flooded with stress hormones.

    HAL 9000 was programmed to complete it’s mission AT ALL COSTS. When the crew decided to abort the mission it calculated the cost of a human life. This was a human programmer error likely cause by cheap outsourcing. ;D

    Around the late ninties, Hollywood extended commercials and trailers to the point where they show almost the entire movie; every character, scene, climax, etc.. It’s ridiculous. Batman Dark Knight Rises cost $250 million to make and $400 million to market. This makes no sense. Hollywood also has become entirely allergic to showing boobs. It used to be almost mandatory. The R rated drama is near extinct and films adapted from popular books now suck. Farenheit 451 the theme park sounds kind of amusing to me but it won’t be remade because good material is now deemed too subversive. Jonah Goldberg and Seth Rogan are not funny. Tina Fey is not funny. Mike Judge’s Idiocracy is not fiction but an accurate depiction of the future.

    Thtat was obscene

    Kubrick is rolling in his grave. I HATE it.

    So that crap beats Thus Spoke Zarathustra and the Blue Danube by Strauss, What about Lux Aeterna, a brilliant modern piece.

    No more!! replaced by the sound of police sirens, burglar alarms, angle grinders OMFG society is falling apart.

    Trashy Trailer to an unforgettable classic. I remember going to see with my High School sweetheart. I was blown away (by the movie).

    2001: a space odyssey (1968): Return to Abalakin – Pic

    by Alexander Preuss

    Category: Orbital Settlements
    Grand Prize Winner for 2008 Calendar

    Description: Abalakin is a giant torus-shaped space habitat with artificial gravity produced by rotation.

    Medium/Tools Used: At first I did a lot of sketches on paper and on my PC to find the right point of view and a good color scheme. The whole image and every construction in it was built with 3DSMAX. This project was the most ambitious 3D scene I have ever created, using over 6,000,000 polygons and 200 MB of textures. The main scene including all layers took over 60 hours to render. At the end I used Photoshop for color corrections and some special effects like the glows in the scene.

    ARE THEY ABOUT TO UNLEASH PROJECT BLUEBEAM ON US????

    Will we be seeing huge laser generated holograms of UFOs over the Olympic stadium imminently?

    Will this be the largest and most outrageous controlled opposition exercise in history?

    Or will nothing happen at all (once they’ve gauged the level of public gullibility)

    Just a few minutes listening to the radio show will give you the general idea.

    Do I think there is a possibility ETs exist. Absoluteley.

    Do I think, if they did existed, they would choose to reveal themselves exactly at the point the world financial system is about to collapse and the cabal is struggling to maintain power – Possible but highly unlikely.

    Do I think this is more likely to be a hoax problem-reaction-solution tactic to bring in one world government and complete corporate control. YES

    Lets just put it this way. They may be nuts enough to stage a faux landing of an alien space craft in the Olympic stadium. If ETs with Coca Cola, Adidas and Visa emblazoned on their tin foil space suits emerge, then we will know where we stand.

    WAKE UP GUYS. These people are absolutely, completely and utterly NUTS!!!

    Sequencing electronic music and fast cutting removes us from our long take reality and puts us in tune with web link after link after link info input – we are being changed: evolution manipulated by our own addictive inventions.

    Sorry, I couln’t resist it but in the radio show linked to in the article link above, towards the end, the effect on the markets if aliens landed is discussed, in all seriousness.

    Apparently the DOW would plunge for 2 days and then would completely recover and flourish as the feelgood factor kicked in. I needed a good laugh. That’s really made my weekend.

    WHAT do we have here?
    * a culture flooded with stress hormones
    * moving image sarcassum
    * cheap outsourcing
    * terminator robot threat
    * obscene
    * utterly nuts
    * evolution Manipulated by our own addictive inventions.
    Environmemts perdict outcomes. Unless the list is just strawdogs, we surley by now, know we are in an contrived environment, way beyond our limitations. How many of these concerns go away if we go back to the very powerful natural environment of 2 base pairs dividing?
