The Lifelog Project

There's something disturbing about this. Here's another article on it.

Thanks to Carol B. for the link.

What the fuck is going on?

I swear, my spam has doubled in the last few weeks, and I'm getting maybe 4-5 times more than I was a year ago across all my e-mail accounts. Are most other people experiencing this?

Defending tyranny

Martin Jacques in The Guardian mounts this grotesque defence of "sovereignty". And who's sovereignty does he defend? Why, Saddam and Mugabe's of course.

The position Jacques takes is the worst kind of patronising, juvenile, racist cultural relativism: that human rights and democracy are western, colonial, chauvanistic notions, which should not be imposed upon the noble cultures of the past.

There is a widespread view in the west that our values are the right values, that we know best, that every country will sooner or later take our road, that everyone will end up, at some point in the future, looking like a variant of ourselves.

What's that then - human beings?

Embedded in this lack of respect for other cultures is a barely concealed racism.

Dammit, that's what our favourite thugs Mugabe and Mahatir have been telling us all along. If only we had listened.

The fallacy of "libertarian socialism"

Perry De Havilland dissects this ludicrous ideology in a masterful fashion. If you're interested in LIbertarian issues, give it a read.

I'm arguing about the anti-war movement again

Go to the Aus Libertarian forum, and read the "...and Norway?" thread. The ALS dinners are a lot like this actually: steak, beer and arguing for bloody hours. Kinda fun really.

Gazza has the good stuff

Gareth Parker has a good post on the screeching hypocrisy of a Labor Hollingworth critic. He also points to and comments on a letter at Slatt's place, from an ex-Labor worker discussing the appalling Queensland Premier Peter Beattie's rather curious lack of effort in comdemning infamous Labor child-rapist Keith Wright.

Viewing

Grabbed myself a bunch of DVDs recently...........

Bourne Identity

A good espionage/action thriller, with the exception of the inclusion of the all-too-common ballet-kung-fu sequences. Doesn't anyone have real fights in movies anymore? I've had enough of this pansy Matrix-style martial-arts dancing.

Personally, I'm a sucker for this sort of spy/action/conspiracy flick. Guns, European cities, car chases and babes. What more do you want?

Resident Evil

Man, this is one of the biggest pieces of crap ever made. Computers and Zombies run amok in some underground research facility...or something. Highlander 2 had a better script than this shitpile.

Now don't get me wrong, I love a good B-movie, but this is an F. I've seen episodes of Sesame Street with more tension. And the sets could have been dragged in from old Dr. Who episodes.

The film has one big plus: Milla Jovovich not wearing many clothes.

Reign of Fire

Now this, my friends, is how you make a B-movie: by getting good actors, a good budget, and making it like an A-movie. Essentially, the world of the early 21st century is overrun by dragons. Director Rob Bowman (X-Files) does a top-notch job of creating the post-apocalyse atmosphere. Christian Bale plays the noble hero well.

And the dragons look great. Could have used more dragon-silhouette-against-the-sunset shots to create a real end-of-the-world feel, but otherwise, the top-notch production values and playing-it-like-drama direction make this nutty B-story a massively entertaining experience.

And hey, those dragons are bad motherfuckers.....
