The "powerful and capable of much" is to be believed.  When Dubya is put
forth as the a candidate for president, representing the most rich and
powerful political party if the United States, you can begin to realize just
how much power and capability is out there.  Anyway, if the American people
allow him to be elected, they deserve him, and his clubby little friends as
well.  Prudy

[CTRL] Movie review: The Skulls

Well, I saw this movie today, and was ready to expect either of two scenarios.  One 
was that they would paint the idea of secret societies as SO powerful and SO insidious 
that you simply could NOT believe they could be real and exert the power they do.  The 
other was a total whitewashing in the other direction whereby they really don't have 
the power people think they do.  It was more the former than the latter.
The movie was, of course, based upon the Skull and Bones, as you all know.  The 
allusions were obvious and everywhere.  There was even some mention of other secret 
societies, also with changed names, to protect the innocent no doubt.
I found very interesting the connections that were put forward.  The inherent nature 
of the thing, and that it was a life long obligation, were also interesting tidbits.
There was a subplot in the movie which was also of note (which I shall not talk about 
so as not to ruin it for those who want to see it).  The subplot has a bearing on 
things we discuss here daily and on plotics in general.
Overall I'd say the movie was pretty entertaining, and was not over the top, at least 
not too much.  I feel that people seeing this movie might be moved to accept that such 
societies exist and that they are powerful and capable of much.  It should hopefully 
shed some light where there is nothing but darkness and secrecy, and that can't be a 
bad thing in the end.
