It's been over 7 years since 9/11, so I'm not sure how relevant painting burning towers now would be for a kid who probably wasn't born yet.

For those who say history shouldn't be covered up, that's true, but this isn't a history book. It's a coloring book aimed toward coping with disaster.

I know it's not directly tied to your post, but your words immediately got me thinking about Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who is the chief medical correspondent on CNN and was a nominee for US Surgeon General. He's a very well-spoken professional and is not shy about sharing his opinions on medical issues such as universal coverage and embryonic cell research.

Disclaimer: I'm only talking about the 1980s songs, so don't direct your comments about classical music to me.

I think 99 luftballoons was an acceptable song to use in the movie, but it was forced. It was played as a dinner date was about to start. I don't recall the scene right before it, but the song would have been a little better timed and much more appropriate if it was played as a scene with Nixon and the generals was ending.

Most of the 80s songs were decent picks, but the only scene which was decently timed was when the elevator version of "Everybody wants to rule the world" was played.

I think the parent is right that the songs were good choices to pair up with the movie, but with the specific scenes, it was half assed.

I hate to punch another hole in your comment, but it looks like even Slumdog Millionare is an adaptation of a book called Q and A.

tnx

You just had to say "patently" in the context of this thread didn't you?

PS - to you smartasses, yes I know there's a difference between trademarks, copyrights, patents, etc.

It seems "recycling" is a gimmick is at best delaying the inevitable. So once Bob in Africa can no longer the old Motorola I donated to some freecycling group, he's going to throw it away. How does this really help the environment aside from making the original donator know he's not going to be the one directly throwing the phone away?

Even if we tried to recycle the plastic (as in melt it down or whatever), wouldn't that cause worse emissions?
