Last Samurai, The
Last Samurai, The (2003)

IMDB rating: 7.80

Plot: In the 1870s, Captain Nathan Algren, a cynical veteran of the American Civil war who will work for anyone, is hired by Americans who want lucrative contracts with the Emperor of Japan to train the peasant conscripts for the first standing imperial army in modern warfare using firearms. The imperial Omura cabinet’s first priority is to repress a rebellion of traditionalist Samurai -hereditary warriors- who remain devoted to the sacred dynasty but reject the Westernizing policy and even refuse firearms. Yet when his ill-prepared superior force sets out too soon, their panic allows the sword-wielding samurai to crush them. Badly wounded Algren’s courageous stand makes the samurai leader Katsumoto spare his life; once nursed to health he learns to know and respect the old Japanese way, and participates as advisor in Katsumoto’s failed attempt to save the Bushido tradition, but Omura gets repressive laws enacted- he must now choose to honor his loyalty to one of the embittered sides when the conflict returns to the battlefield…

Which of these films are better for blue-ray?
Hi I’ve got a PS3 and I was wondering what a Blue-ray looked like on it. So I wanted to buy one film but the’s so much choice I need some help. I think that the films that I like and what will use Blue-ray to its full potential are big epic war films like Troy and Gladiator(though not so big) but I have already watched these two and I want to make sure that I get the most out of my money by buying a film I haven’t watched( please correct me if you think my opinion of big war films being the best Blue-ray films you can get is wrong). I have found a couple of films that I think are in this sort of area but I would like your opinion on which one is the best one to buy by judging it on visual, audio and story(and anything else that is of importance) these films are:
300
Last Samurai
Kingdom of Heaven
Alexander
Are the any other films that trump these and if so what are they?
Thank you


i have to see first

A military historian and poet, he believes he was a warrior in many past lives, and that he is destined for something great during this life, but his stubbornness and controversial methods nearly prevent the fulfillment of that destiny.

what was General Patton's blood and guts speech?
He is sort of my icon, and i am curious on how the speech he gave before major battles went. If anybody can give me the precise speech that would be opt, but if you can’t just give me the next best things. thank you.
wow i just printed the link and apparently Patton liked to swear. Thanks!


When you reach your hand into a pile of goo that a few minutes before was your best friends face, you’ll know what to do.

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar (2002)

IMDB rating: 6.60

Plot: The story of the rise and fall of the Roman Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar, born July 13, 100 B.C., and starting his career as a young Roman with visions of greatness for the Eternal City. When Sulla conquers Rome with his troops, Caesar is one of the very few to stand up against the despotic dictator. This impresses Pompeius, Sulla’s general, and he protects the young man, who is a nephew of Marius, a well known veteran, against the wrath of Sulla. After Sulla’s death, Caesar returns from exile and starts his political career. Caesar’s daughter Julia marries general and senator Pompeius, and Caesar takes Pompeius’ troops in order to simply safeguard the borders to Gaul, but instead conquers the whole country. His final victory takes place at the fortress of Alesia, where the Germanic troops under Vercingetorix capitulate. Back in Rome, Ceasar is not trusted anymore, since the troops are loyal to him alone and it is feared by Pompeius and Cato that he will use the troops to conquer Rome and declare himself King, including the establishing of a inheritbale right to the throne. Instead, Caesar does none of that and sets off to Egypt in order to ensure a constant delivery of agricultural goods to the Roman Empire. After a glorious return to Rome, his former friends Pompeius and Cato are dead, their deaths blamed on Caesar, and his personal life is in ruins since he could not resist the temptation of beautiful Egyptian empress Cleopatra. Being inveigled and aided by a group of rebellious and untrusting senators around Cassius, his nephew Brutus finally kills Julius Caesar at March 15, 44. B.C. (the Ides of March) at the age of 55, starting an era of civil wars.

question about the plot of the julius caesar?
why is julius caesar the title of shakespeare’s play?

the title of shakespeare’s play julius caesar seems to be in conflict with the plot of the play. despite the fact that the title bears the name of caesar, caesar is only present as a character until the end of act 3:1.

so im confused why julius caesar is the title and not brutus or cassius?
can any1 help?
thanks guys so much in advance!!
hey wils
thanks!
and haha, ur not doing my hw
i just hav 2 discuss this question after we hand our projects in
ive finished my project already but i just wanted some more opinions on how to expand my discussion
thanks again!


Well, think about it. It seems like Brutus and Cassius are more like the main characters, right? But what motivates their actions? Every driving force behind what they do, before killing Caesar, the act of killing Caesar, and both what they do and what is done to them after Caesar’s murder, is motivated by Caesar himself. Caesar is a main player simply by the effect he has on other people - just like the dead king in Hamlet….and MacBeth too, come to think of it.

I really hope I’m not doing your homework for you. Oh well.

Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good.

What are the 9 exemptions that make it okay to close a meeting to the public?
What are the 9 exemptions that make it okay to close a meeting to the public?

what makes something public?

what are the rules that keep things from you?


You don’t mention what state you are in, but they all pretty much follow the same 9 exemptions. A public body can close a meeting IF THE BODY WILL DISCUSS:
1) Any matter made confidential by federal or state law
2) Any matter for which the release of information would impair a right to receive funds from the federal government
3) Material that, if disclosed, would constitute an unwarranted invasion of individual privacy
4) Any collective bargaining (union) agreements
5) Any matter involving the purchase of property with public funds, the setting of banking rates or investment of public funds
6) Any tactics or techniques used in protecting the safety and property of the public ONLY if their disclosure could impair such protection or hinder the investigation of such violations
7) Any pending or anticipated litigation or contract negotiation when the public body is a party or may be a party
8) Any matter involving the employment, appointment, termination, terms of employment, evaluation, promotion or discipline of any specific public employee or prospective employee
9) Any deliberations of a public body occurring after a public hearing that may result in the imposition of civil penalty upon the accused party

Something is considered "public" when the group consists of 2 or more people, organized under state or federal law, and is collectively empowered as a voting body to provide a public government function or is collectively authorized to spend public funds. (example: School Committee)

The rules that keeps things from being open are the above 9 exemptions. In my state, they are defined under The Open Public Meetings Act.

Hope that helps.

Why the Large Hadron Collider?
I understand what these terroristic, swaggering scientists THINK the collider will do, now that it’s been fixed and they plan to turn it back on (they apparently were too stupid to take the hint from the universe or nature or God when an electric fault fried it back in September and shut it down). You know, there’s been a big battle between theists and atheists about, between creationists and evolutionists, in a great endevour to prove "God" or "Chance". But never have the Creationists/theists risked DESTROYING THE PLANET to prove their point. This just goes to prove what I’ve been saying for decades - that atheists, who do not believe themselves answerable to the Almighty, are a dangerous threat to civilization.

So, to these monsters and their supporters I would just like to ask WHY? To what ultimate purpose will you risk destroying the earth (which many CREDIBLE scientists say the collider could cause)? What is the real value of jeopardizing our lives trying to replicate the THEORY of the "Big Bang"? To what lengths will you go to demonstrate your brazen arrogance and your defiance of reason and sanity?


God made us curious. If He didnt want us building superconducting Supercolliders, he wouldnt have given us opposable thumbs. We are clearly doing His will by exploring and explaining the universe He gave us. Why are you opposing Gods Will?
Fluke | Nov 21, 2009


"DESTROYING THE PLANET to prove their point"

You do realise that all the claims about it destroying the planet are complete nonsense, right? It’s not going to do anything more to the Earth than cosmic rays do on a daily basis.

I don’t get why you’re questioning it though. It’s a valid scientific experiment. Is it just because the Higgs Boson is sometimes referred to as the ‘God Particle’? Why do people make such a big fuss over its nickname?

EGYPTIANS: Report what happend to the FIFA?
Send the FIFA and report what happend to the Egyptian supporters in Sudan.

 http://www.fifa.com/contact/form.html

Thats what I sent, you can copy that or write one yourself..

I’m an Egyptian citizen who is THANKFUL Egypt did not qualify to the world cup! You might wonder why, well to put it simply, the ALgerians would have killed our National team in the stadium and then started swinging their swords and knives on the Egyptian Civilian supporters. We lost and they still attacked the Egyptian supporters, which is still VERY odd behavior for a Football team who did win! One would think that they would celebrate but no, far from it, they targeted and attacked anybody who is Egyptian ANYWHERE.. it happend in London (they tried pushing Egyptians there infron of speeding trains in the underground), Sudan, Algeria,.. PLease note that the Egyptian supporters after the defeat cheered for the Egyptian national team and then CONGRATULATED their Algerian counterparts (you can check that and make sure that everything I mentioned are facts.. they were aired on TV)..

Please look into what happend.. the Algerians sent ex cons with knives, swords and huge rocks, while the Egyptians sent singers, actors and normal Egyptian families who were there to have a good time and support their national team not go to war!!

IF the Algerian natinal team and their football federation are not punished, they will be encouraged to do this kind of behavior EVERYTIME they play an important match!

Football should unite not cause casualties!! Please FIFA do not let them get away with this.

Thank you!
Regards from Egypt


I already sent a report haha….but it won’t kill to do it again :) Gazzy: Its ok, we tried | Nov 19, 2009

?ESD EGYPT UBER ALLES? | Nov 19, 2009


FIFA said they would announce what action if any it was taking against the Egyptian FA later in the day after considering a detailed report on the stone-throwing incident from its representatives on the ground in Cairo.

One FIFA representative, Walter Gagg, confirmed to AFP that three Algerian players had sustained injuries which may yet rule them out of Saturday’s key game, which will decide which of the bitter North African rivals advances to the World Cup finals in South Africa next year.

Passion | Nov 19, 2009


i’ve already sent too…and wishes that they read it and do something about it….cuz i’ve read today that they are thinking of punishing egypt..loooooooooooooool

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD AS IF EVERYBODY IS AGAINST US!!!!!
!!!Muslimah.Rose!!!egypt egypt | Nov 19, 2009


I sent and the Egyptian federation today make their own complain.
If it’s true that there will be a punishment on Egypt, it’s not a problem as already and that means both sides will be punished. We don’t have much to lose after all. We lost the match and our people been terrorized and injured, what else they will do !
Wise Heart | Nov 19, 2009


thank you so much for the positive step….i did it..it’s the least we can do

and no regret or whatever you name is …we wont talk the sameway you did because you are all barbarians and ignorant and abusive …7asbya allah wne3m alwakeel …
Booba | Nov 19, 2009


You know what yeh…Algerians are just retaliating to what happened in Cairo on Saturday. Our players were attacked WITH ROCKS, there are videos on youtube. You could see them playing with bandages on. Were your players harmed in anyway? I don’t think so.

WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?
Then after Egypt won, they went and attacked and killed Algerian supporters. Which there is proof of. I haven’t heard anything about Egyptians getting attacked. In fact I was in Edgware Rd, London where there were Egyptian supporters and all the Algerian supporters did was boo and thumbs down them. No violence whatsoever!!! Even the police are reporting that the celebrations were ALL in good spirits.

At the end of the day the Egyptian and Algerian players weren’t involved in causing any form of violence. They haven’t killed anyone. So therefore what’s complaining going to achieve? Algeria won fair and square, theres no turning back. If the players brought out ’swords and knives’ ON THE PITCH…then that would be a different story.
So, personally I think you’re just wasting your time. In some ways Egypt and Algeria are as bad as each other.

1, 2, 3 VIVA ALGERIEEEE !

Full Metal JacketFull Metal Jacket (1987)

IMDB rating: 8.20

Plot: Full Metal Jacket begins by following the trials and tribulations of a platoon of fresh Marine Corps recruits focusing on the relationship between Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and Privates Pyle and Joker. We see Pyle grow into an instrument of death as Hartman has forseen of all of his recruits. Through Pyle’s torment and Joker’s unwillingness to stand up against it the climax of part one is achieved with all three main characters deciding their fates by their action or inaction. The second chapter of Full Metal Jacket delves into Joker’s psyche and the repeated referal to the fact that he joined the Corps to become a killer. When his mostly behind the scenes job as a combat correspondant is interfered with by the Tet offensive he is thrust into real combat and ultimately must choose if he really is a killer.

Modern Warfare 2 class ideas?
Ok, so I got MW2 at midnight, and now I’m hooked. The game is pretty much flawless, except for camping noobs on the multiplayer… I have about 580 kills and a KD spread of 1.72, but I just feel so forced into using a bunch of different weapons. I really like the

SCAR w/ full metal jackets
PP2000 w/ red dot sight
Semtex grenades
Sleight of Hand Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Steady Aim Pro
UAV 3 kills
Predator Missile 5 kills
Harrier Strike 7 kills
Painkiller

It’s a freaking beast class, but I want a class where I can go 30-3 in a match EVERY time.

Any suggestions?


The class is solid bro, but you need to do something about your killstreaks. Don’t let everybody in on this but ditch the UAV. Use your teammates UAV’s. Get the care drop instead because there’s nothing better than getting a pave low or chopper gunner at 4 kills. Second killstreak go with a harrier at 7 kills. Predator pretty much sucks you’re lucky to kill 1 person on some maps and others it’s probably wasted. Next get chopper gunner. My god the most OP killstreak in the game.

4 - Care drop
7 - Harrier
11 - Chopper Gunner

If you get 7 you are almost guaranteed 11 and once you get to 11 there’s no looking back. I went 48-0 on afghan on release day using that set up

kkk
professor dick weed | Nov 13, 2009


Camping noobs? I hate when people say that. I call it strategic positioning, and it’s the best way to rack up a high kill/death ratio. It’s the noobs who run around aimlessly doing the run & gun, not checking their surroundings. Camp out in a good position, get a 25 kill streak, and *BOOM*, nuclear strike!
Nick | Nov 13, 2009


I haven’t played MW2 yet, but in WaW, I would always make a class with camouflage, dead silence, and a silenced STG. Hope this gives you some good ideas or something.

Denis J | Nov 13, 2009


Dude we could give you suggestions left right and centre and it’s no help at all. Everyone is different and is pro with different classes and perks. Can just suggest to keep trying all out and stick with the best set up you personally find. Enjoy!
SJD444 | Nov 13, 2009


FAL w/ Holographic Sight and Heartbeat Monitor
PP2000 w/ Holographic Sight and Silencer
Semtex grenades
Bling Pro

If you have a good trigger finger, you will wreck everyone with this class.
