| There will always be an 'us' versus 'them' mentality. It's why we get news and care about europeans over here in canada and the US but not about all the s**t that happens in Cambodia, for instance. Eventually, some of the movements of peoples which seems disruptive now, will have the payoff that it... |

Watch again, and look for any altered details that make you feel uneasy. There are more that are too subtle to pick up the first time. |

| I haven't looked at the first video yet, but in the second video, there are some effects that were added starting at 2:27 point that make the video very unpleasant to watch. |

| I watched the Open Road clip. I am adding 83 WITW to my viewing list :/ More movies I didn't like: *I never liked Ralph Bakshi's LOTR. *I've seen every Peter Jackson movie up until LOTR. One of them was good. There is a way of judging art that I heard suggested recently. Whether it gives you energy ... |

| It's a common observation that the purpose of the Shock Jock's seems to be in convincing the working class to vote against its interests. The most obvious method is by bypassing our logic circuits by hijacking our stress responses. |

| I think I was wrong for getting on this bandwagon. Whenever you're doing something positive, there's always someone out there doing what you're doing, but doing it like a jackass. It's always easy to edit cases of the latter together to discredit the former. |

| So if we were to be realistic here, I'd say the title of worst Star Wars film goes to The Phantom Menace AND The Force Awakens. Nuff said. Yes, but not if Jar Jar is a Slith Lord controlling events from the shadows, which he certainly is. If you take that into account, and watch how he interracts w... |

| IMHO a video presentation sans any kind of sweetening or effects, is akin to plain yogurt- certainly nourishing but not especially pleasant. To me, interesting subject matter delivered in an articulate way is the sweetening factor. I find many of the effects used in mainstream documentary and news ... |

-I should have said about Ma Kent that she is a misanthrope. She doesn't say enough to be considered an objectivist.
-I didn't see that version of Crossroads, but I liked the Crossroads movie directed by Walter Hill with Steve Vai as the Devil. |
