Worst I think the "Watchmen" reference could be is a renaming of the old Crime Busters group with Captain Metropolis.

Their thinking if probably more along the lines of "These experts who were trained and went to college in their fields probably carry a lot more weight in this argument than the bunch of guys who have none of that education."

I think it looks fantastic still. Be aware, of course, that trailers are very often more the result of the marketing department of the studio than the director. They're trying to catch people's eye, even if they don't know what's going on (because the story would take forever to explain).

One of my favorite foreign films.

Well its a whack job site that's out of service at the moment. Edit: just reloaded and it's back up

Is there anywhere beneficial this discussion could go?

Is it National McCarthyism Week or what?

I live in an area where households like that are not unusual. It means that each person is making at least $125,000 dollars a year. If they're having financial trouble, even under a huge tax load (much more than this plan is), they will be fine.

I think part of the problem is just perceptions, both by politicians and the rest of the world. One of the best traits of Americans is the shut-up-and-get-it-done work ethic. The country definitely didn't get where it is because everyone is stupid and no one ever gets anything done. But...

I think the book's ending was fine in it's context and execution. But what is right for one medium is not always right for another, so I'm fine with them tweaking it. Movies have great visual impact, but they simply do not have the time to try and cram in the entire book.

There's probably a good argument to be made for not ticking off the part of the world that isn't the US or terrorists btw. It's been a long time since any country on the planet could really be considered self-sufficient. We all rely on each other to some extent, and getting along with each...

Yeah, they'd probably just take out ads in the paper stating that the election was stolen. :D

Actually, as I mentioned there are very significant differences between 2003 and 2008, but the trend has been in the exact opposite direction, with a massive jump in legal Hispanic voters as a percentage of the Hispanic population. Again, this is due to the younger generation growing up and...

I think we just call them crazy people up here.

You're both right and very wrong. Based on data from 2003, only about 40% of the US Hispanic population is eligible to vote (as compared to 73% of non-Hispanic voters). However, illegal immigration only accounts for a relatively small amount of of that 33% difference. While some adults are...

Yeah, new state-levels polls have now come in for the month. According to FiveThirtyEight McCain's chances of winning have now dropped from 6.5% to 3.7%, his lowest that I can remember seeing.

That's part of it, but there's a lot of other factors too. Like it or not, the left side of the political spectrum has a lot more of the younger voters, while the right side has a lot more of the older ones. Guess which ones still listen to AM (usually) radio? Also, there's this weird effect...

Because it means someone, somewhere, has a to decide what "fair" means.

Based on the idea that the sand seems to be "building," maybe its about an attempt at reclaiming Rapture?

Also, not to be a downer or anything, but both of those look like they were written by people with textbook cases of paranoid schizophrenia.
