You want violence and gore, grits/Vic? I have your dish, cooked up raw: "Ishi, the Killer."

67.160.130.12

And it's made by the master Yakuza-theme director, Tadeo Miike. No, he's not a one-trick sadist: he's the director of, "Audition."
Ishi isn't one of his best, mind you, but it is an arterial spray-fest.

How did I end up here? It's all grits' fault. - Victor Khomenko 15:43:30 02/11/12 (9)
To repair my reputation, just days ago we watched, with great pleasure, the French "Microcosmos" - a totally mesmerizing study of insects, done with super-macro lens. Some of the shots are simply unbelievable, and drive home the message that no random process could have created (pun intended) all than beauty.
The footage of an emerging mosquito is truly incredible - don't recall seeing anything quite like that.

- Random? Science isn't "random." That said, I do find it a bit weird - tinear 07:49:39 02/12/12 (1)
  that mathematics is the basis of both chemistry and music.
  Very strange.
  - You are implying non-random creation... - Victor Khomenko 11:11:04 02/14/12 (0)
    i.e. Intelligent Design.
    
    I am sure many here would agree.

  - It was more political than sexual - Victor Khomenko 19:36:06 02/11/12 (5)
    The segment with a scarab pushing his ball of manure I am sure had a working title "People! I brought you free health care!", and the two fighting beetles looked like Romney and Santorum at high level white tie reception.
    
    But take a look - such a nice reprieve from all that Spartacus intellectual strain.
    
    Gratitude! :) I'll have that honeyed wine now!

      the human skull. The top part shows the seven orifices of the skull while the body symbolizes the right (feminine) and left (masculine) brain which the Egyptians were aware of....all meaning they were very spiritually tuned people.
      
      Freebie: The Giza pyramids have never been tombs. Not one hieroglyph or piece of writing outside on inside the edifice. (You wouldn't paint a picture inside your over would you?) There are shafts that line up precisely with Orion's belt (just as the Giza pyramids emulate). These guys say they were some kind of power generating plants. The quartz rock blocks used to build the structure conduct electrical charges. The topping stones did not have the same mixture of quartz and acted as insulator. It was explained that any current of water produces an electrical charge and at the time of Giza the Nile was literally a stones throw from them. During the floods water would filled the ground table under the pyramids and the current would be captured. The golden cap on top of the largest pyramid was a conductor much like a microwave tower. They pointed out that Tesla did the same thing here in the USA and wanted power to be free to everyone. Edison won out with juice for profit.
      - The Egyptian (ancient) worship of the scarab was based upon their belief that it symbolized - tinear 07:40:46 02/13/12 (1)

        the god that rolled the sun from one side of the sky to the other; the scarab rolls dung balls gilded by the sun from one hole to the other.
        
        You think it doesn't have multiple meanings? Open brain. * - mr grits 09:39:06 02/13/12 (0)

        ...they had to resort to huge "road signs" to land their craft.
        
        That cannabis oil you have been using on your popcorn does seem to work though! :)
