Muse: Monday Linky Love (With Added Geekery), in reply to Steve Parks,
there are reports that Tim Hetherington, one of the directors of Restrepo, on at the World Cinema Showcase currently screening in NZ, has been killed in Libya.
I got a nasty little jolt when I read that this morning.

Possibly also someone had some dropped on their head once.
'A marajuana bomb!'
Someone post up 'The Orb', stat!

Hard News: A Work of Advocacy, in reply to George Darroch,
I suspect if the camera was on the other foot, we'd have a story of harsh and unreasonable police violently invading and destroying the house of a humble drug-dealer who provides the good herb to his community, and then taking him away from his loved family.
I prefer Reno 911
Rashomon 911?

Where should we put the 'more'?
'The More Tremendous' sounds like the name of a D-rate '70's Funk Star.
I am tempted to adopt it as a pseudonym

The worst bit about it is that the ending's a full-on cop-out: It's not the fault of the system that he went crazy - he was mentally ill all along!
I think it's a lot more ambiguous than that. He had a capacity for anger, and was angry and sad because of what he perceived to be failures of the system. And the events of the day did rather conspire to bring out his crazy side.
Well, we could agree to disagree, but in the spirit of the thread, we could also argue heatedly about this until we both look like tremendous dicks to everyone else :)

It'd be kind of interesting to watch 'Falling Down' again to see how it's dated.

'8MM' and 'Tigerland' are pretty good, but they may have been made after your argument.
But who could forget 'St Elmo's Fire'?

I'm wondering if a third category needs to be added to 'Trolls' and 'Tinks' - someone who has a valid point, which they genuinely believe in (tinking), but who cannot resist spinning their comment in a way that they know will push the buttons of the regulars (trolling).
