It was that there was no other mention of Charlie Sheen. The article  
was talking about one thing, then had one paragraph going on about  
Sheen, then went back to talking about Bowman. I saw from the link  
away from the original article that Sheen is a 9/11 questioner (as  
opposed to conspiracist), but even so, it's just glaringly bad  
writing to switch like that, without a clause of explanation...


Other than that, interesting stuff.

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should be Illegal

2006-04-08 Thread David Land

Folks,

From Craigslist:

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural
things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way tha
hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy
behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog
has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed
at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites,
and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were
allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun
marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay
couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to
marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs
more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight
parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours,
the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's
why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at
home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to
raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never
adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the
service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Tales From Earthsea.........Anime!!!!!

2006-04-08 Thread Robert G. Seeberger
http://www.animenewsservice.com/


As reported yesterday the Studio Ghibli website has relaunched, their 
new URL is http://www.ghibli.jp/. Via the revamp, the studio has 
revealed their next animation film project will be Gedo Senki (with 
English subtitle TALES from EARTHSEA) directed by Goro Miyazaki 
(Hayao Miyazaki's son). The new movie is adapted from American writer 
Ursula K Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea. The planned theatrical 
release in Japan is July, 2006. Additionally on the new site you can 
view a production and director's diary. Readers may recall on 
September 20th ANS was the first English news source to report on this 
possibility. A blog entry of an anonymous editor working for a 
publisher in Tokyo then predicted the next film animation work to be 
tackled by Studio Ghibli would be based on the Earthsea series of 
novels by American fantasy writer Ursula K. Le Guin. When presented 
with only a last (family) name we incorrectly assumed Hayao Miyazaki 
would be directing although at the time he was the only publicly known 
Miyazkai directing films at the studio. The Japanese editor reportedly 
first learned of this news when a film rights option was being sought 
by the book's Japanese publisher Iwanami Shoten. The America-based 
Sci-Fi Channel adapted Le Guin's Earthsea series to TV in 2004 in it's 
Legend of Earthsea miniseries. The author has expressed her 
disapproval of the faithfulness to the original works of the above TV 
version. Hayao Miyazaki, has in the past admitted being an admirer of 
Le Guin's writings.

SCOUTED: Amazing Art Installation: Toast Mosaic of a Toaster

Folks,

It's not lyrics from a song we love to hate.

It's not the latest political outrage.

It's not even a sci-fi or anime reference.

It's just toast: 2500 pieces of toast in various degrees of toastedness 
arranged into the ginormous image of a toaster in Buenos Aires.

Hm.I think the most important bit of info here is that a 
major Sci-Fi classic is going to get the treatment from a company that 
makes *very* high quality anime.

After sending the original email this afternoon, I gave quite a bit of 
thought to the idea that Anime is the best venue for Startide Rising. 
You could never get any better than a sucky live action movie, but an 
anime could be (for all intents and purposes) practically perfect.

Brin should be shopping his wares at Pixar or Dreamworks. Can you 
anime fans imagine how much better The Postman would have been as an 
Anime OVA?
