too creeped-out to bear it movie night

So I'm going to add to last night's Bourne Ultimatum and 3:10 to Yuma: Even Money; Mr. Woodcock; Ginostra; and as the best-for-last finale, Jet Li in "War". If I can't have Jackie Chan, I will take Jet Li... either... in a hot minute. I think I could actually meet one or the other of them, though, and remain standing....

[Update: Jet Li wins the war....]

FASCIST MEDIA!

Utterly unbelievable! "60 Minutes" lying about who invaded whom in the Iran-Iraq War!

Saddam still wouldn't admit he had no weapons of mass destruction, even when it was obvious there would be military action against him because of the perception he did. Because, says Piro, "For him, it was critical that he was seen as still the strong, defiant Saddam. He thought that [faking having the weapons] would prevent the Iranians from reinvading Iraq," he tells Pelley.

Note they don't bother to correct this heinous "misstatement".... Who does THAT serve? This whole bit is inserted into the public consciousness to improve our perception of the administration. I think I am going to be sick. I think I am going to be sick!

Oh. My. God. I just threw up.

I have been... all night long. I now have a fabulous collection of Russell Crowe pictures and I have scrutinized them all very carefully. He is not remotely good looking. He's not awful looking, but he's just not handsome... objectively speaking. I cannot, however, manage much objectivity about this guy. He blows my skirt all the way up. I don't care what movie he's in, he just makes me weak to watch. I watched him in "3:10 To Yuma" last night. He played a cold-blooded killer. Every step of the way I was on his side. You just don't want anything to happen to such a manly guy. You just want all the other ones to melt off the screen so you can watch him. I've watched him in a bunch of movies now, and I have actively wanted to not be riveted by him. Never works. I am very glad I won't have to meet him....

I'm going to go to bed now... better late than never.

is this the party to whom i am speaking?

I'M SICK OF ANONYMOUS COMMENTS

So please just take a moment to sign in under one of the accounts the Blogger commenting system recognized. If you don't already have an account somewhere, it's fast and easy to set one up. If you want to talk here, just be one somebody and stick to it. Thank you.

________________________________________________________________

Update: Comment system is no longer HaloScan cum JS-kit. We are now in native Blogger commenting, which means your comments won't show up if your cookies are turned off, and it means I can't edit your booboos for you, just delete your comment entirely if something is too wrong with it or you. So. I will try to rectify this somehow, but in the meantime, please try to know when to be offended and when not to be offended by any removal of a comment. At least I think now your comments won't simply drop out into nothingness without there being a human, me, or you, dropping it into nothingness. Sorry.

You will possibly at some point notice that I finally added comments to neufneuf. I still feel a little creepy about it because I don't want my friends to feel obliged to take up their time putting comments on my blog... and I don't want to suffer the negativity from the trolls who come here to find out who that harridan at a certain other blog might be either. But some people far flung may find it useful, or begin to, and that is something to consider. So I stayed up and gave myself a monster headache last night in order to set it up in some sort of acceptable-enough format.

Rules are both autocratic and liberating:

Anyone attempting to make anyone else's personal address or telephone number or email public will be banned. Zero tolerance. Putting anyone, no matter how awful, in jeopardy of being stalked or spammed or harassed, even if you think they totally deserve it, is tantamount to lynching and will not be tolerated here.

No racism.

No sexism.

No dirty jokes and bathroom humor.

No spam.

I will delete all objectionable-to-me comments without a trace at whim.

You don't have to stay on topic. You may hijack threads to your heart's content. You may swear as colorfully as you wish, within the bounds of the above, of course. All linkage to interesting and important URLs is seriously okay with me and most of the people I know.

You can email me at neufx2@yahoo.com or any other address you already have for me if you have something to say in private... tips about the ultimate wealthy socialist bachelor are most welcome, as you must already know entirely too well.

I may add to this whenever, but you'll always be able to click on Ernestine to keep up with it.

Like move sidebar stuff here:




If you want to see news videos, or look at any of the headlines from Google news that used to be embedded here, just click on this snail and go down the sidebar a little. That stuff is just too obnoxiously slow-loading, and they make you watch commercials anyway.

And click this one for a bunch of very 99-like music videos that also used to be in my sidebar. I'm trying to make this place a tiny bit more friendly to slower connection speeds. Basically, I really am a very nice old harridan....

As for the Star of David, surely its most offensive use is its placement on the flag of Israel. --Ann El Khoury

The Palestinians, though, what do they have? Rockets with no guidance at all, so they just land wherever. Like 95% of them can't even hit a town. And rocks. And as everyone knows, ineffective is the same as bad, which is the same as evil. And lack of control is just another way of saying immoral. I rest my case. --Zeke

Barry O. may be the smooth-talking architect of our doom, but at least he's not a moron. --IOZ

Plus, you might want to add Ann El Khoury to your bookmarks because she is a bottomless source of information on this filthy travesty. It usually renders me speechless with ire, or completely blind in my need not to jump off this cliff of wrath, but for those who can still deal with the particulars, please visit her. She says she's only going to be posting intermittently this year, but, even so, it's worth it.

better bad news

I guess the Senate didn't take the sucky language out of the potential Thought Crime Bill. Was going to do a piece on this when it was still just Jane Harman's baby, but decided that since it was just creepy language in a bill to form a commission to study "homegrown terrorism" that I'd not bother to flip out unless and until the Senate failed to turn it into something less anti-American. Heavy sigh. I'm going to have to look again... just like I haven't covered California with my herds of cows already.

I can't help the getting to be darn usual soft little burning coal of joy for the release of a suffering soul, but I think it's not going to do my father's state of mind any good. He's been plum crazy for her since he set eyes on her the first time... which, in turn, puts me in mind of unacceptable losses of my own. This mortality bit is hard to hang with... which... is silly, but....

...from about Part Six on, but even better the further into it you go. The first five parts are kind of fun... the history of cold, of temperature, of the physics of energy... but it starts rocking when it comes to superconductivity and makes my brain go fizzy with glee when it gets to the Bose-Einstein condensate part! OMG! But then! But then you get to go further and contemplate light slowing to the speed of a bicycle as it's shot through this condensate! I'm making oceanic ice cubes to solve the climate crisis as we speak!

UPDATE, 1/19/08: And arresting people for it doesn't make it a bit more believable.

It is also noteworthy that the American press is not making any kind of big deal out of Israel bombing and shutting down the borders with Gaza. There's ONE story, way down the list of world news, on the Google News page, and I'm hopping mad. You might want to scroll down a couple posts to see the new links added to my declaration of determination to move Israel to the South Pole.... Suit yourself. We always do.

Yes, yes indeed I support Israel's right to exist!

...ON THE SOUTH POLE!!!

I'm wanting you to think deeply. I'm wanting you to really look -- without prejudice -- just try to DROP your conditioned ideas and opinions about Ahmadinejad -- at what he might actually be saying when he refers to "the Zionist entity". He never says "Israel". His words are directed against the Zionist entity... NOT ISRAELIS. He never says that. Don't bells start ringing when someone so stubbornly keeps using such a strange-to-you term? They should. Let them ring now, and stop for long enough to assimilate that all he is doing is insisting that the persecution and injustice against Palestinians be STOPPED. It's been going on for FORTY YEARS, this massive and agonizingly slow GENOCIDE. Wake the fuck up! It's a Palestinian holocaust being perpetrated by "the Zionist entity". There are middle-aged Palestinians who have never known safety, peace, justice, security, freedom.

...oh, and you might find this link enlightening.

...oh, oh, and you might consider this too.

...oh, oh, oh, and, er, by the way, he is speaking on behalf of those dreaded ayatollahs....
