Well I mean not an absolute stranger, it could be a co-worker you barely knew, or an aunt you never met...

I seriously doubt Matrix has any Neon Genesis Evangelion reference on it. To me, it feels like "Bastard!!" meets "Zillion" meets "Tank Police" meets "Ghost in the Shell" meets "Serial Experiments Lain" (most of the matrix concept comes from Lain)

Ok people, let's try posting less stuff. I belive the problem could happen again in 4-5 months, so we gotta use as little words as possible. Try making it short, and only post when necessary.

Uh no... That's the plot for the 1970 film. I could not really understand what was the plot for the 1967 short. I've seen about 2 minutes of it, and it featured a man running in a maze of corridors, and some men watching him thru closed-circuit cameras. It had that eerie 60s technology look, you know?

In a bizarre, subterranean-lived future, the "government" controls people thru drugs that keep them from rebelling and having sex. All procriation is controled, and people have numbers, not names. THX-1138 kinda rebels against it when he stops taking his drugs and consequently falls in love with... whatever number her "name" was.

Exactly the same situation here, Bossk.

Me neither, altough I always wanted to visit Japan (and of course Hiroshima and Nagasaki). I've read a lot about it. One day I'll go to Hiroshima, and tell you guys all about it.

It's not the "looking at dead people" thing, I'm ok by that. It's the "looking at a loved one corpse" thing I've a problem with. I could go to a funeral if I'm not familiar with the dead person - altough I'm not even sure what to do on a funeral, and what to say. I could do like my father, who once mistankenly "congratulated" the dead man's wife - lucky she didn't hear or didn't notice.

I don't think I ever want to be in a funeral, unless my presence really necessary, I have no idea what my reaction would be after founding out a loved one died, and seeing his/hers corpse on a coffin, I think I'd freak out. I'm more scared of other people's death than my own.

Welcome rubix.

I've heard rumors about a DVD release of the Ewok movies, but it was a long time ago. Anyway, I'd expect then to be released after episode 3 and the ultimate editions, so they can cash in some more.

True, Samatar. I mean, it was a 60s TV show, what else could they do?

There were two main reasons for the development and dropping of the bombs.

1- The germans were developing their own weapon.
2- The americans needed to show the world, and by world I mean the USSR, their new nuclear power.

After the war, the soviets and the americans started a game of "hungry hungry hippo" on the german scientists, who held the rocket technology developed for the V1. Yadda-yadda-yadda, Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong.

Even now, 60 years later, you can still smell burned flesh in some parts of Hiroshima.

My dad did not. He watched TESB SE back in 1997, and I remember him saying "wow how could they achieve all those SFX back in 1980?", and I had to explain to him what the SE was, and he said he remembered seeing the movie back in 1980, and he said it was exactly the same.

OK people, from an amateur stand up comedian as myself, here are some tips: never start a joke about disabilities or about people from other cities/states/countries if you don't know the audience, or if you are not prepared to answer back. If you know your audience, go ahead! Rule #2: Hitler has become a comic's secret weapon, if you mention Hitler in a bizarre situation, people will laugh ("have you ever imagine Hitler going to the bathroom, doing #2?"), use him when things are not going well. Rule #3, never tell them you are not funny, they'll belive you and not laugh. Rule #4, if you're bombing, leave at once, dropping the mic on the floor.
