Saw some of Some Kind of Monster tonight (was running projection), and I must concur with Iann Robinson's comments. Lars definitely comes off the worst in the film, but ever since the whole Napster thing I've considered him to be a whiny bastard.

Please do. Spidey 2 is a much better movie.

Definitely one of the greats. Goldsmith wrote some of the most amazing and experimental film music ever. I took a film music course in university and gained a greater appreciation for his talent. He will be missed.

I'm not necessarily in favour of the miserable, depressing ending, but I love ambiguous ones. See Dirty Pretty Things for a great example of an ambiguous ending.

Facts are slippery, especially when it comes to politicians. Fahrenheit 9/11 has a lot of facts in it, but the presentation and interpretation is what is getting Moore into hot water with hardcore right-wingers. Nothing new there, of course; the same thing happened with Roger & Me, The Big One and Bowling for Columbine.

Finally picked up Season 1 of The Simpsons. The price has dropped to $15.99 up here, so I couldn't resist.

Just because the test subject died in #1 doesn't mean there can't be a Hobgoblin.

They were actually fired? All I'd heard is that they didn't show up for work because of a contract dispute.

No, I'm going to tell you that unbiased, complete, and absolutely true evidence is a rare occurrence in any scenario. Kind of grim, isn't it?

Yeah, and then Green Goblin would continue on to be the villain in the 4th film.

Lemme give you an example. The most recent cases in Canada on the issue of same-sex marriage were decided on what I would term faulty evidence; that is, the evidence that decided the case was largely anthropological and cited examples of same-sex marriage type relationships in various cultures in the world. The vast majority of the evidence submitted on these groups was incredibly one-sided. How do I know? I researched one of these groups extensively, and the same-sex marriage situation in this scenario arose out of necessity i.e. no male descendants in the family to pass property on to. In this particular case, the eldest daughter would marry a woman of the tribe, and her kinsmen would copulate with her "wife" to raise offspring in the father's name. This was just one example, but the vast majority of these types of relationships amounted to nothing more than legalised prostitution. Nevertheless, the flawed research cited by the pro- same-sex marriage groups was the only evidence presented, and played a substantial role in the striking down of the common law definition of marriage in British Columbia and Ontario.

See my point?

How about bringing in Hobgoblin as the villain in the 3rd film? Harry goes to see a therapist to rid himself of the "delusional" thoughts of seeing his father, and in the process sells off the technology to the character who becomes the Hobgoblin. The Goblin's presence in the news makes Harry even crazier, and he takes to the skies to defend the true name of Green Goblin. Whaddya think?

Is it fabrication, or just bad evidence? I've read numerous cases that were decided wrongly on the basis of bad or insufficient evidence. I think both sides make valid points, but to say that one is either right or wrong based on the evidence presented would be foolhardy.
