Author	Topic: I Want to Believe-The Senate's Social Thread and Secret Society Roundtable
Mr44 Registered: May '02	Date Posted: 5/17/08 7:25am Subject: I Want to Believe-The Senate's Social Thread and Secret Society Roundtable
	Welcome to 2008's social thread. A place where smoking men reveal shadowy secrets, the fate of nations are decided by the contents of a envelope, and the Stonecutters really do make Steve Guttenberg a star.. Ok, maybe not. But because it is the social thread, it's a place where everyone can relax, get to know everyone else, and post about anything. (and on the off-chance that she stops by, this is dedicated to NP and the upcoming X-Files movie...) -----signature----- When you enter a room full of armed men, shoot the first person who makes a move- hostile or otherwise He has started to think and is therefore dangerous... -- Colonel "Paddy" Mayne, co-founder of the SAS

	You know, they're doing a terrible job of promoting the new X-files movie. The posters are like decipherable only by the 5 remaining fans. I'll be surprised if it makes 5 million. Which sucks because I really liked X-files and want it to be sucessful like Star Trek. le sigh -----signature----- Talk nerdy to me. mujaki na kao de boku ni hohoemu

	I would like to see it do well also but though it ended well enough the show was dragged on too long and it's been a long time since X-files anything has been mainstream. In all honesty though there are a few films that have done, are doing, and will do well most movies seem to struggle and I think national fatigue concerning world affairs is the culprit. -----signature----- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic--Arthur C.

	I chalk it up less to world affairs and more to Hollywood failing.

	I thought the last one was well done...too bad they completely dumped the mythology afterwards. I think this one is supposed to be a standalone like the MOTW. -----signature----- Talk nerdy to me. mujaki na kao de boku ni hohoemu

	It's surprising they decided to make another X Files movie. The first one was a financial letdown and not very interesting. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely going to see it. But that's not saying much. I'm not very discriminating about movies. -----signature----- "There is a country out there where tens of millions of white Christians, voting freely, selected as their leader a black man of modest origin, the son of a Muslim.

	I'm gonna see this movie some time. Hope it doesn't suck. Anyway, here's what I've been up to the last week. Jifty's pics of Berlin Wonderful city, I absolutely recommend it for any history buff. Great food, great sites, great public transportation. It's unlike any capital city I've ever been to. I'll be uploading today's pics tomorrow (it's nearly midnight here now, and I had a long day). Went biking with my dad in a forest here. They have a forest inside the city, a huge frakking forest. And then I just bounced around the U- and S-Bahn just doing some crowd watching. Tomorrow we go to the Allied Museum to see the display on Sgt. Elvis Presley. More to come. -----signature----- "GAIUS H. CHRIST!" - My younger brother.

	If you like Berlin, I think you would love Budapest for the same reasons. I mean there are monuments in the city that have stood since the 950-980's. That's not as old as some, but they represent architecture from the "Holy Roman Empire" revival period. It's also interesting to contrast the stark difference between the buildings of the communist period- which have a stark utilitarianism that is at home in a Scifi movie- and the buildings that were erected after as a commentary. The food is good, but everything is either made with cabbage, bacon, or sour cream... -----signature----- When you enter a room full of armed men, shoot the first person who makes a move- hostile or otherwise He has started to think and is therefore dangerous... -- Colonel "Paddy" Mayne, co-founder of the SAS

	My dad was in Budapest for a little bit. He seemed to like it a lot. But yeah, Berlin is certainly a "new" city by European standards. When I lived in Germany the first time, the military base I lived near was in a town that was founded in 999. 1999 was their millennial celebration, and they came out with a kick ass beer at the brewery for it. -----signature----- "GAIUS H.

	Bacon tastes good, Mr44. oh, that's a given. But there is just something unsettling about thick cut bacon wrapped with more bacon strips, covered in sour cream... -----signature----- When you enter a room full of armed men, shoot the first person who makes a move- hostile or otherwise He has started to think and is therefore dangerous... -- Colonel "Paddy" Mayne, co-founder of the SAS

	J_F_T, I've been to Germany. It is the most Western of any European country I've been to. It's a good place. I went a little off the tourist traps to see the family owned shops where they make coo-coo clocks. The use lathes that are no bigger than my hand! Incredible craftmanship! About movies; Is it just because I was a kid in the 80's or were some of the best movies made in that decade? Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Aliens, Total Recall, Demolition Man, Breakfast Club, Chariots of Fire, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Indianna Jones, E.T., and on and on. Do this decade's movies stand up? Spider-Man, Iron Man, Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Harry Potter, 40 Year Old Virgin... Great movies, but I feel they may not stand the test of time as well. And what happened to the movies from the 90's? Culturally the 90's may become the new 70's! Jurassic Park and Independace Day are really the only movies that come to mind. Comments? -----signature----- God Bless George Bush God Bless Barack Obama Darth_wanderguard :"Maybe you're not quite as crazy as people say you are"
