5/7 Mummy Returns - typical hollywood cookie-cutter trash.
\_ Did you pay $7 at a theater or did you d/l it? If you d/l'ed
did it suck bad enough that you feel the time spend getting
it could have been used to get a better movie?
\_ Mmm, cookie-cutter trash. Is hollywood trash really that much
worse than foreign cinema sentimentalism? Sometimes, between
watching some artsy french film (in fuzzy black & white) dealing
with the effects of losing a cat, and watching a certified
brainless hollywood trash film with all the standard jokes, I'd
rather go with the latter. Unless the cat happen to belong to
militant prostitute lesbians on a mass murder binge, of course.
\_ that's almost funny enough for me to reconsider. hollywood's
efx laden eye-candy are only midly interesting and
overpaid stars are utterly disgusting. one day a bomb will
go off in teh academy awards and wipe the slate clean
\_ Upon reconsideration, I realized that I'd rather see the
lost cat film afterall. But the point is, Hollywood trash
\_ less artsy, more fartsy!
has its place--in the gutters of society, maybe, but some
people enjoy it. For that matter, so do Hollywood celebrity.
Everyone idolizes _something_. It may not be a blond
bombshell with fake boobs, but it might as well be. I mean,
are people who idolize Nietzsche that much better than people
who idolize Britney Spears? If you think so, you might as
well be a nazi.
\_ This is intellectual relativism. Nietzsche is a person,
with a mind. Britney Spears is a vagina + marketing.
You are a troll + too much time on your hands.
never seen before. The Mummy Returns provided most of that.
\_ Regardless, britney is hot, Nietzsche, still dead.
\_ what about us necrophiliacs?
\_ Britney is in the Mummy Returns?
\_ "everyone idolizes something" != "for each thing, there
is someone who idolizes it"
\_ There's just as much junk in the foreign film / Cannes / independent
market. It's just not enough people have seen those to know there's
crap there too. I'm not really trying to defend Hollywood, but can
it really be all that bad when they give me exactly what I want? I
go to theaters to escape reality, to have fun, to see stuff I've
never seen before. The Mummy Returns provided most of that. After
spending 50-60 hours the past week overloading my brain with C++
at work, do I really want to continue using my brain to discover
the meaning of life from rotting cheese from some overemoting actor?
No. I just wanna turn off my brain and enjoy over-the-top action
galore.
\_ After loading my brain for 50 - 60 hours, I would go mountain
biking. The problem with many Hollywood movies is that they
are no longer "fun" and "never seen before". However I did
liked Mummy, so I am going to give Mummy II a try. Maybe it's
because I have always liked this Egypt/Archaeologist/Raider's
of The Lost Ark genre. Yes, I hate boring and meaningless art
films too. They should be meaningful and preferably
entertaining too. I am not as interested in style without
content.

me.
\_ I was disappointed with Mummy Returns as well. Hopefully the 3rd
installment will be much better (like the Indiana Jones trilogy).
Have you seen Deep Rising? That's another film my Stephen Sommers
that I really enjoy, it's pretty much your ultimate big-budget
B movie. |

5/8 Dear Doctor Science,
I am an especially unattractive person, and all my life I've had to
deal with people who hate me just because they don't like the way I
look. How can I free myself from the hatred I feel for these people?
-- Ray Mullen from Swisher, IA
Unfortunately, there's little you can do to let go of such a justified
resentment. Electroshock may help you to forget, and thus forgive, but
it may also have unintended side effects, like death. Have you thought
of starting an ugly persons support group? It might give you a sense of
community you've been missing all your life, though I imagine the
meetings would be pretty hard to stomach.
\_ Who's Ray Mullen?
\_ Apply to EECS at Cal, you will among others of your type. |

5/8 Does anyone have any good/bad experience with electricAmerica (formerly
Commonwealth Energy Corp.) as the electric service provider? I'm
thinking about signing up to get some green power. Thx. -- yuen
\_ We've had Commonwealth for over a year. We haven't had any problems
with them. As far as I know they haven't dropped us yet but
I don't know if they're taking anyone new.
\_ Thanks. I'll call them to find out. -- yuen
\_ I thought all the third party providers bailed on CA?
\_ I don't know. The web site only says they're currently not
taking any new customers in the San Diego area.
http://www.powersavers.com/power_markets/california.html -- yuen
\_ I read that all the 3rd party power providers dumped their
customers back on pg&e and the SD power co (whatever its
called) and gave up on the entire state. Not only are they
\_ SDGE, strangely enough
\_ It seemed better to admit ignorance than guess and be
wrong. Something other motd writers might consider.
\_ well said! -SDGE poster
not taking new customers, I don't think they have any old
ones in CA anymore either.
\_ Then you read wrong. We still get our monthly power
bills from Enron (which of course show that PG&E pays
Enron about twice what we do thanks to CA's fucked up
rules)
\_ Big deal. So there's still one left.
The others are gone.
\_ No, there are many left. You're just wrong.
The answer to the whole thing is more nuclear plants,
ditch the MTBE gas which is poisoning the water
permanently instead of the air temporarily and costs
more, and get rid of all the resource using
hypocritical tree hugger extremists.
\_ You do realize that, despite your semi-lucid rant,
your previous answer was still wrong, yes?
\_ If you hadn't edited my comments instead of just
adding your own I would give you a real reply.
But since you seem more interested in "winning"
a motd debate which isn't going to be here by
tomorrow and you didn't actually say anything
beyond "you're wrong" without providing any
reasoning, I'm happy to leave it as it is. It's
very hard to discuss anything with someone who
falls back on third grader "I'm right and you're
wrong cuz I said so!" line of reasoning. You can
be "winner" if it makes you feel good.
\_ 1) I didn't edit your comments
2) The comment you're replying to wasn't the
original poster's or whatever.
3) Have a nice day. |

5/8 Berkeley Critical Mass this Friday, downtown Berkeley BART
gather 5:30 PM to depart after 6 PM. Sound system, water
pistols, movies after. http://guest.xinet.com/bike/couch
\_ And please drink and drive your SUVs.
\_ And bring out your guns.
\_ puleeze. more underpowered twinks who will get themselves
killed thinking they can mix in with regular traffic
\_ they also bitch and cry when their handle bars get stuck
on someone's mirror. only an idiot and careless biker
gets that close to a car.
\_ while waiting on a red light on Market St. in SF couple of weeks
ago, a woman tried to squeeze between my car and the sidewalk. She
ended up toppling over as her bike hit the sidewalk. I tried damn
hard not to laugh, but was quite unsuccessful. Oh, and it's not
like she couldn't have ridden her bike on the sidewalk... there were
hardly any pedestrians and the sidewalk's 20 feet wide.
\_ so if you ride on the sidewalk, you get a ticket.
if you ride between cars, you die.
if you ride your bike in traffic and take up the whole
lane, you get harassed.
\_ Cyclists should do what motorists do. If you see a bunch of
cars behind you waiting to pass you, pull over to the side
and let them pass. For the most part, this is convention on
the highways and should work for cyclists as well.
\_ How typical, a motorist advocating that cyclists break the law.
\_ They do anyway without any help.
\_ Like not stopping for pedestrians at stop signs (and even
red lights) while whining about car drivers not stopping
for them.
\_ Like the 4 cars that sped through red lights just
this morning on my walk from bart to work.
\_ yeah, but bicyles don't weight 2 tons, cars do..
all the more reason to respect their power even if
there are morons behind it.
\_ Some cyclists are fucking stupid (crossing against
a red light, etc), but this is hardly the
behavior most cyclists have.
\_ I'm saying she should've ridden the sidewalk for her own good.
Fine by me if she wants to risk hurting herself. In fact, I'm
glad she fell on her sorry ass. If she insists on sharing the
road, she could've waited like all the other motorists instead
of squeezing through.
\_ I agree, and tend to take the whole lane when I'm
riding on Market. Which is really the right thing
to do. --dpassage
\_ the right answer is 1) stay the hell off the sidewalk and
2) obey the rules of the road (such as the CVC) when riding
and if you can't be bothered to do either, suck it. --jon
\_ Bring 'em on. I just got a new grill on my Suburban and a little
blood will help give it color!
\_ Wow. A little bicycle advocacy seems to bring out more
than any recent trolling. That's fine. Yer cure when
yer angry. -ulysses
