The End of the World

[adam68c]

Any one read Michael Crichtons new book Swarm. Its about nanotechnology and assemblers and all that good stuff. It was a pretty decent book and kinda creepy cause its based on technology that will be here very soon I think. I think Nanotechnology is extremly intresting stuff. Im sure it will bring many new and exciting things in the near future. I wish I was smart enough to be involved in that field.

I zoned out on all that pseudo-intellectual bullcrap and really only paid attention to the killing. Philosophy and intellectualism has no place in movies.

Yeah thats prolly why the Matrix never did very well in theatres or video

[kscullin]

Magking is right - even though he didn't specifically state it, it WILL be the Vogons, and it'll be a bureaucratic SNAFU of some form or another.

You do all have your sub-ether signalling devices, correct? If not, quickly go to the nearest bar, get a couple of beers and some peanuts, and see if you can hook up with a guy named Ford Prefect.

Has anyone seen the dolphins latley?

[The Deacon]

I never said it has no place because it doesn't get idiots to flock in to see the movie, I just meant that it has no place in a good movie for the non-idiot.

[Cryer]

personally, I'm not a big movie critic. I generally am entertained by any movie I go see. The Matrix $equels, on the other hand...

Matrix 2 sucked. Mediocre plot... They lost me when they started spewing the technical BS about how the matrix was born or whatever... I figured I'd see the 3rd one to finish the storyline, although I had already decided I wouldnt like it.

Matrix 3. I was pissed that I saw this movie. A friend paid for the ticket, yet I still felt robbed. It ruined my week. I couldnt get it out of my head how bad that movie was. It still hurts.

I think if I have to watch any of those 3 movies again, I'll end mankind myself.

[SanDiegoMag]

They should have ended it after the first 1 like they were origonally gonna do. The only reason they made the 2 sequals is because they knew no mater how much they sucked, they would have to finish it off. Oh and trinity kept getting uglier throughout the series.

... Oh and trinity kept getting uglier throughout the series.

She didnt start out all that well, either



Isnt there a movie coming out called "the day after tomorrow"? Isnt that about this kinda thing?

[Muzikman]

I'm with Ed on this one.

and I leave you with this...

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and
snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed
it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, Ladder
start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
in a fire, representing seven games, a government
for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in
a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team
by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,
overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save
yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
the revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,
patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign
towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood
letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament,
tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions,
offer me alternatives and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental
drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard
Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester
Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You
symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel
fine...fine...

LOL... I was listening to that song last night

[cpm666]

stupid bush

imo before his term is done bush will decide to invade another oil rich country that "must be stopped". possibly one of the united arab emirates or kuwait (o wait we already occupy that one) but when that country's leader opposes us bush will see his term ending and nuke it. becasue we all know our "nuclear defenses" are just excuses to build more and more nukes. so thats definately how i see it happening. if not bush, then it will be some other money hungry republican. ****ing republicans.

Ok... I dont subscribe to either Democratic or Republican party simply because of fools like you.

First off, your entire post was constructed to show your blatant hatred towards one group of people. You barely even touched on the topic of the thread.

Secondly, Theres not one shred of logic involved in what you're saying. Bush is aiming to get re-elected, even if he is "money-hungry", hes not dumb enough to invade another country after he's seen what kind of an adverse effect invading Iraq has had on his support.

Third, you bypassed the curse filter and that makes you look like you're 12.

I think people like you will bring about the end of the world.

EDIT- oh yeah... #4: you 'signed' your name in your post. (why do people do that . ) thats what sigs are for: "signatures"

[Rather]

Sounds to me like its either a re-make or movie inspired by the older movie "The Day After." Old movie that has to do with the US and Russia Nuke'ing each other.

Yeah, I've seen it. One of my favorites

[kauai_paintball]

Well, first off, we are going to decide that the chinesse are going down, so we launch our crap at them, and they wonder is shooting at them, so they shoot back, and France decides to get into the game, but they are "le tired" so they have a nap and then fire thier crap.

Pretty soon the entire world is gone, as missles fly by each other, saying "Yo" and "Whats up". But as long as nothing like this happens, the only thing you californians gotta worry about is breaking off with the US to go hang out with Hawaii, Alaska can come too...

I dont have anything to worry about, I live in hawaii. The humidity is so reat and dense here that not only dose it trap in heat, it traps in air. and keeps stuff out. If the earth was ever destroyed by nuclear missiles hawaii would be last to go, because of the area (middle of the ocean, litearally) and the fact that we have our own natural protection.

[kauai_paintball]

Well, yeah, thats a given. but doesnt the Bible mention a period of destruction leading up to Christs return? IE: Armageddon? I suppose thats what we're speculating about.


Sometimes, I cant help but wonder if this current conflict might be the beginning of the end...

Within several years, it could be just us and Isreal against everyone else.


Imagine that feeling tho: Knowing that the world is in a state of political tension (like the cold war). You know that everyone is sitting with their finger hovering over "the button"... Then one day, during your typical daily activites, you hear the air-raid sirens and you know exactly what they mean.
I've tried to imagine the feeling of utter helplesness you'd feel after hearing something like that: Knowing that, somewhere across the globe, the death of your entire city is bearing down on you like a freight train and theres nothing you can do but sit there with arms outstretched.

7 year period after jesus comes and raptures all who are saved, everybody else is trapped for 7 years and forced through terrible punishment such as :
being attacked by locust-demon lions, a worldwide earthquake, the sea turning to blood, fire raining form the sky, the four horsemen of the apocolypse, every unsaved sould burting out iin extremely painful boils, everyone trusting a man who turns around and betrays them (sounds like G Dubya), the million horsemen who sweep the earth killing people with fire and sulfer, just to name like 1/8of the stuff, and then everybody comes from heaven as invincible warriors and we have a hige battle in the valleyof armageddon, and the righteous slay all the unrighteous, and then we reign on the earth for a thousand years under the leadership of god, with the devil defeated, causing no more harm.
