When the End Times come and the Lord separates us true faithful from the mass who turned away from the light of ID4 and hold hate in their hearts, then it won't seem so insignificant.

yeah but I never saw any bladerunners on.  I hardly ever watch it, nothing good comes on.  There might be good stuff on sometimes, now that I think about it, but I'm pretty bad at TV so I can't ever find anything

Bit of a question: Did they portray the execution of William Wallace correctly? Hanging, disembowlment, quartering, and beheading?

... I think the rating of the movie should be a good enough answer to you?
to be precise: they do nasty things to him by the sound of it, but as you can't see... ( you get to judge by the reaction of the crowd looking at the "show" .)

FS pays homage to Forbidden Planet, if you'll remember.  FP takes place on Altair 4 which was the home to a supremely advanced alien race.  The Vasudan archaeologists find the answer of how to defeat the Shivans in the Altair system in the ruins of a supremely advanced alien race.

On topic, the saddest moment that I have seen in the somewhat limited movie selection that I can bring into my parents house...almost the entirety of SW: EpII.  The sabre fights at the end are pretty good and while the Yoda/Tyrannus fight at the end is the purpose of the whole movies, everything without Darth Winer is pretty good.  George is going to have to pull a superstardestroyer out of his ass to save the franchise.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I was in high-school when Schindler's List came out... they took the whole 10th, 11th and 12th grades up to the Jerusalem Theater (right up the hill from school) to see the movie. Immediately after that, an old guy gets on stage. His name was Itzhak Stern. :eek: :o

[color=66ff00]Me neither! Well spotted, that's nerdiness at it's best. :)

Reminds me of Homeworld, one of the levels is called 'Tenhauser gate' or something similar, a reference to Bladerunner.

That bit was correct but I believe William Wallace was actually a noble in real life rather than a commoner as portrayed in the movies. Oh and the bit about the Princess of Wales is a load of crap as she apparently didn't even get married to the prince until long after William was dead :)

Refues to watch it, I'm sick of these Good-old-U-S-of-A-singlehandedly-saves-the-world films.

anyway, have any of you ever seen Life is Beautiful?
It is a film I find quite disturbing, as it starts as a comedy, but is set in the Holocaust, and remains fairly comedic throughout. It is also Italian, and so is subtitled.

They had us see that movie in school about a month or two ago. Really impressive, even if I did not get some of the scenes (specifically the one where it kept flashing back and forth between the wedding, Schindler, and the beating).

:rolleyes: You just proved you never saw it, since it was the air forces of the world uniting together in an incredible show of humanity that struck the final blows, not just the US. I recall quite vividly the whole theater erupting into cheers and applause when they flashed the pic of the Israeli F-16 on screen. :p
