"the XO, one-eyed Saul Tigh, yep- you can even find photoshopped images of him as mccain and vice versa
ok- this other thing is a big argument-
Battlestar Galactica is in our future (but humans left earth so long ago that is has been reduced to a myth)
Star Wars is "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away"
and Star Trek is in our future as well, but they still have a connection to earth (well, most of the storylines)
"Who would win?" really depends if we are talking about who vs. who i.e.: the Empire or the Rebels, the Cylons or the Humans, or the U.S.S. Enterprise vs. the klingons or the Klingons vs. the cylons -or the cylons vs. the borg or the Rebels vs. the Galactic Fleet, etc...
but they all exist in the universe... our universe
(more thoughts on this to come..)

I am so glad you are watching Battlestar!!!!!! it is my favorite (or has been over the past year or so) but beware of fracking internet plot spoilers!!!! I love almost all the characters, although... no, I can't decide. Most of them are just so interesting, Baltar, Chief, both Adamas, Starbuck, Tigh- great stuff

George W. Bush to appear in the role of Josh Brolin for upcoming "Goonies 2" film.

I just made that up but then I came across a video interview where Brolin admits to their being a goonies II and him being cast in it:

, which is nuts because I found a script for it online a few years ago---
I actually gave Goonies on DVD to my cousins (age 6-11) last year for Christmas- a bit hesitant because of the language and badassness of the film (if you are watching at age 6 in 1987 it is the cooles shit in the world), which is just so much more hardcore and raw then any of that shit disney poops out these days, (ok, like I might've said, I DID like Wall-E.) Anyhow, goonies sequel... was it necessary? Nö... will it be anything but another fluffy kids movie?...
lest we not forget, this film was cruelly foreshadowed by the Nintendo game "Goonies II" which had a mermaid and two guys who looks an awful lot like the blues brothers. Unfortunately this game was based on a film that never existed- but in second grade the rumor going around was that Goonies Two was only released in Japan... as was Mario Bros. 7 ...which is a very interesting psychology... everything being released only in Japan, and we were just stuck left to imagining how great it must be...

"Letter: Andrew Lahde, Lahde Capital Management
By Andrew LahdeFriday Oct 17 2008 13:15

October 17, 2008

Today I write not to gloat. Given the pain that nearly everyone is experiencing, that would be entirely inappropriate. Nor am I writing to make further predictions, as most of my forecasts in previous letters have unfolded or are in the process of unfolding. Instead, I am writing to say goodbye.

Recently, on the front page of Section C of the Wall Street Journal, a hedge fund manager who was also closing up shop (a $300 million fund), was quoted as saying, "What I have learned about the hedge fund business is that I hate it." I could not agree more with that statement. I was in this game for the money. The low hanging fruit, i.e. idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale, and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking. These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government. All of this behavior supporting the Aristocracy only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America."

Fraked or Fracked...
emails from Barack and the McCain camp after the third debate: a review...

this post (originally just with the McCain email) was dull so i embedded some fracking Battlestar Galactica clips throughout...

Dear Supporter,
Actually, no, but : Yes, McCain-über-SPAM-meister?
Last night, you saw John McCain win the final debate of the general election.
No, I was sleeping, it was 3-4 am here, but I did hear him on the radio- and honestly I preferred hearing him to seeing him. SEEING the Old Man is like watching some David Cronenberg/Lynch X-Men sh*t, man- all the licking and blinking- is there anything you or he or electrolysis can do about that? On every issue, he proved he is ready to lead and ready to take this country in a new direction. Ain' dat da Lawd's onnest troof.

We know that John McCain is prepared to bring bold solutions to solve our nation's challenges. He'll fight for the "Joe the Plumbers," Marios and Luigis? "Joe the Florists" gay dudes?? He'll fight for gay dudes? That seems a bit our of character for the Maverick... and "Joe the Carpenters" of America of Nazareth? to reduce taxes and allow more men and women to realize the American Dream. John McCain is the only candidate who has consistently put our country's needs above his own. There should be a joke about his arms here. Now, it's up to us now to make sure he wins on Election Day. Yes, go on...

There's been a lot of talk in the media about the massive field operation Senator Obama has built with unlimited campaign funds. My sister gave him $30 and I gave him $25. We're guilty. Our campaign is ready to match his operation, but we need you on board to do it. Ok, Captain, but it won't do you no good.

As we enter the final weeks of the campaign, we're launching our major volunteer effort to elect John McCain and Sarah Palin. Ok. As a volunteer in your home state, you will be making a big difference in bringing the McCain-Palin ticket closer to victory. Ok.

Please follow this link to sign up for a volunteer shift. This email is boring. No matter what your schedule is, we have available shifts for each day leading up to November 4th. As a volunteer for our campaign, you will be provided with training, so no prior experience is needed. What can I say...

There is a lot at stake in this election. Come on- throw me a bone here- As a volunteer for McCain-Palin, you can make a big impact in closing the gap in the polls and electing John McCain and Sarah Palin as our next president and vice president. Please follow this link to get involved today. Thanks for your support.

Sincerely,
Christian Ferry
Deputy Campaign Manager

P.S. In addition to volunteering for our campaign, I'm asking you to visit the new website, www.RhetoricVsRecord.com. This site outlines the big differences between what Senator Obama says and what he does. Please take a few minutes to read through the site and pass it along to a few of your friends. Thank you.

NEXT:

Paul --
Yes Barack?
I just finished the last debate before the election. I know, I saw, you played it pretty cool, man.
Now the outcome of this campaign is up to you. I need your help to get our message out -- and to get out the vote. Cool.
I wouldn't ask for your support if this campaign didn't urgently need it. Naturally.
Your donation of $5 or more today is essential to our unprecedented get out the vote operation in these final days. How's about a combined $55, that is 10 times more than you asked for- will you love us 10 times more?...The most dangerous thing you can do right now is nothing. Dude, I blog and -like I said- my sister and I donated to your campaign yesterday. Your support and hard work are exactly what we need between now and Election Day.
While he didn't mention the middle class, John McCain chose to repeat the false, negative attacks that make up 100% of his advertising these days. Harsh, bro.
The truth is that his choices say more about his campaign than they do about me. I can handle the truth.
But John McCain and his allies are not going to stop fighting -- or attacking -- until the very end. I think he mentioned as much in his email...
We're doing this a different way. Right, go on... Tonight I talked about the real problems ordinary people face during this economic crisis and concrete ways that I will create jobs, cut health care costs, build a new energy policy, and get our economy moving. Word.
But time is running out. 'Tis, ain't it, not like that Stones song... Our strength and our success in these last 20 days depends on you:

Wow... found in Andrew Sullivan's "THE DAILY DISH":
"While I regret this development, I am not in mourning, for I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for. Eight years of “conservative” government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance. As a sideshow, it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case.
So, to paraphrase a real conservative, Ronald Reagan: I haven’t left the Republican Party. It left me."

Seriously? ok Daffy Duck- who is isolated, insular and ignorant & delusional?... it is definitely fair to say that amazing things are produced on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, but to discredit the United States as as an innovative literary force is just plain absurd.

Post Subtitled: Popkomm day 2, Triggerfinger and the Runaway Brides
On my way home from work Magnolia Beacon was playing on the Admiralsbrücke, so nice to come home to- I got a beer at the spätkauf and stood with the fifty other people to watch them play and bought a new CD. Great stuff. THere has just been a ton of music here lately- I try to keep up, i.e. last Thurs:
Two charming shows at White Trash Fast Food (Oct. 9), namely-
THE RUNAWAY BRIDES an all-girl country-pop group with a shitload of talent and a great aesthetic.
&

TRIGGERFINGER. (PHOTOS TO COME---)
At some point you might just get used to being in bars or venues with a band in the background which is "dull" "dumb?" "no, DULL!" -"oh,yea. totally. I thought you said dumb cuz they're kinda dumb, too." and too loud, which does absolutely nothing. Louder isn't going to make us any more interested, but it will force us to shout and misunderstand one-another.
I had not intended to even watch the band Triggerfinger- mainly because I had never heard of them, partly because I just don't expect to enjoy new rock music and also partly because of my own snobbish biases:
A. Their name is Triggerfinger, which sounds like Clawfinger or Bad Motorfinger or any other finger-band/album, -not to mention this choice of name SEEMS like they are trying to be a bit too hardcore, a bit too Tarantino or Chris McQuarrie or just too straight-up 90s with their image.
B. They are older. Older dudes. Not old, but two of them might be in their 40s, and it isn't always so much fun watching older dudes trying to rock.
C. They are from Belgium. No offense, but...Belgian rock?
So A+B+C almost makes this band suck automatically- by default, but they don't. They wail. They rock. Whatever you want to call it- they are good. Visually these three are almost caricatures. The bassist, which was referred to as "the Meat Man" is a large and uniquely featured gentleman- reminded me of someone I#d seen in a movie... (or perhaps Rèmy from the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles) a guy you might expect to see working as a longshoreman, not tearing it up on guitar. Ruben Brook, the lead singer (who, with his longish gray hair parted to one side to nicely compliment a chops-oriented beard-stashe) looks like if you only changed is outfit, you could plop him comfortably into several different centuries and he would hardly miss a beat. (Let's say Amsterdam in 1895).
In terms of being that satisfyingly richly weighted flat-out scream he possesses a voice on-par with Chris Cornell, yet he doesn't over-use it, and rather opts for being much more playful, in fact- the band as a whole works so well partly because they ARE playful, theatrical, and it is apparent that they are having a good time while keeping up a sort of hardworking onstage persona. Nevertheless, TRIGGERFINGER are extremely talented musicians,- rarely was there a moment where what you were hearing was reminiscent of a dull/dumb formulaic pop song.So, yea, the end result is three Belgian guys in black black leisure suits with silly-patterned red ties who know how to not only put on a great show but... actually kinda rock.

Michael is the director of such films as TRANSFORMERS, CON AIR, ARMAGEDDON and PEARL HARBOR. He takes the amazing medium of Twitter and really bitchslaps it to a whole new level, for example- a few of his recent turds of pure.white.gold.:

"@slashfilm No, I don't know who "Fellini" is and quite frankly I don't give a shit"

"What's for lunch? THIS IS FOR LUNCH."

"Boom. That's it. That's all you need to know."

"Went to the bathroom and took a giant dump. A dump of excellence."

"Here's a tip: if you can't sleep, try soaking an ambien in gasoline and wrapping it in C4. Chase it with pure grain alcohol and 75 pushups."

"Just fired the gardener for breathing too loud."

"Shia cried more today. Especially compared to yesterday"

"No. Seriously. Fuck You."

DISCLAIMER: I Watched Tranformers FOUR TIMES on the airplane and Armageddon made me cry- I saw it twice in the theatre. "WHY???" you might ask- well watch the affing trailer and then listen to the song that Liv Tyler's dad wrote just for the film:


if you didn't cry watching those videos (or at least get a bit tingle-y) then just stop reading this blog, ok? Go away, go watch or read something- -something else, "Post-Google" don't want you here. Or in the Twittered words of Michael Bay:
