Metal Mountain
Corin Nemec / Kellie Brothersen / Barry Corbin
Corin Nemec is 16th century conquistador Hernan Cortes, and Barry Corbin is a US Senator running for President of the United States. Their experiment, while noble, has gone terribly, terribly wrong.
Also starring Kellie Brothersen as a very large android, can they stop the alien menace that has taken over our world?

Maybe not the best example as I'll watch anything with Barry Corbin, he rocks. "Beefed up? How about screwed up?"

One interesting factoid I learned from David E Hoffman's book The Dead Hand was that, according to Reagan's biography, the only time the Gipper mentioned being depressed in his diaries was after watching The Day After. Dunno if he or Iron Maggie caught Threads, that probably would have brought the whole Cold War to an abrupt stop. That flick is about as grim as can be imagined. Babby kom!

TDA really apparently did a number on Reagan, though - before that he was hawkish and then some, albeit realizing that a wind down of the Cold War in some fashion or another was essential; but afterwards he really began to take more of a direct approach to curtailing weapons stockpiles and the like.

Hoffman's book is highly recommended for its fright value, too - towards the end it has accounts from the late 90s of Russian weapons grade plutonium stockpiles being held behind doors sealed shut with "Civil War" class bolts and locks...

Albini also used to front Big Black, who, to the surprise of those who now consider him anti-technology, used a drum machine instead of a flesh-and-blood percussionist.

Tonight, on the SyFi channel - Roboctopus!

Shouldn't it be Hortons Tim?

I'm ok, I'm just thinking, you know? Why don't you get me a Pepsi?

FTFY.

Pneumatic Mail, Part 1 - Dieselpunks

Don't go there, man.

Judy Garland: No Love, No Nothin'
Billy Preston - Nothing from nothing
Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2U

Now, these fellows set a Blake poem to music so they may have been hip to this...nega entendre, I think you'd call it:

The Fugs - Nothing

There's more to it than the obvious one in that scene: Hamlet Steaminess Rating

Thanks, will check those out. There are a ton of interesting podcasts out there of course. Haven't turned on the radio in some years now except to try and get traffic reports.

I make MP3s of online discussions/articles/books/etc with TTS software. Infinitely more interesting than talk radio, ugh. Am listening to Aftermath by Charles Sheffield at the moment, only a few minutes in and a fascinating listen. Haven't crashed yet.

Was listening to a discussion of bans on cell phone while driving and someone was talking about observing other drivers - which I began to do for a second...while still moving...bad idea!

Thanks - excellent viewing. Haircut 100 and Men Without Hats add to the horror! It's helpfully up on YouTube. TPB is 3 seeders and 700 mb so that could take a while to say the least.

I started this whole helihunting thing making a joking Sarah Palin ref; didn't realize it was so popular that I'd be taken wholly seriously. Taking shots at game from a helicopter, that's a bit overkill innit?

Are you factoring in the added velocity from the helicopter?

What, have they finally gotten around to building courts for playing Kosho?

Be seeing you.
