I was at my home, in my room, showing my friend the highly acclaimed terrorist centric comedy movie "Four Lions".
Show
We were at the end scene where a reporter is showing footage of the main characters aiming a rocket launcher the wrong way and accidentally killing Osama Bin Laden.
All of a sudden my mom walks into the room and tells us that there's breaking news happening. We rushed downstairs, bewildered by the irony of the situation, as Obama went on tv and announced that Osama Bin Laden had in fact been killed.

From the same studio that gave you: Dudes and Platitudes
Finishing up the pilot now. Yeah, it's a handsome show. The writing and acting seems to be good.
But I'm confused and bored. I'll see how I feel a few minutes into the second episode.
I might come back to GoT at some point, but for now, meh. I am glad it's on the air and good, it's just not my thing.
That's how my friend felt when he first saw the pilot at my house. I think it wasn't until episode 3 that he started getting into it. He eventually became so obsessed that we ended up spending the whole night watching the rest of the season.
He goes to Greenwich Village and runs into a short Jewish man with severe neurosis who needs help questioning the existence of life and stamp collectors." Why are we here for such a finite period of time and why would we spend it finding rare editions of snoopy"
He goes to Manhattan and gets chased by a large marshmallow man and a gorilla, Aliens attack queens. He finally runs into a mob movie in the Bronx.
The most powerful space telescope ever takes the first pictures of a particularly interesting extrasolar planet. It's discovered that from a distance, that planet looks exactly like Earth: same size, same atmosphere, same continents, everything. A year later, as this revelation is still being processed and debated, another identical Earth is found around a completely different star.
I expect Israeli security is worse then this for a very good reason. But, yes, for the US this is a bit much and I can't see where it would have stopped any of the terrorist attempts there have been if it had been in place earlier.
I remember going through EL AL. Israel's is more competent.Their security is highly trained and well payed. They usually ask more questions than do pat downs or issue frivolous restrictions.
As you said though, there's more of a threat level there and the Israeli government is willing to spend more money on hiring better trained personnel than waist it on ineffective/invasive equipment.
The Sucker Punch soundtrack. I was disappointed by the movie but the covers are pretty solid. Also Ill buy anything that has Alison Mosshart singing Beatles' songs.
I'm addicted to 'Wilderness Heart' by Black Mountain. They have a very heavy Zeppelin/Sabbath/Floyd influence to them.
Where did this thing originate from, anyway? The guy didn't sign his little essay here and I obviously missed it when it originally hit the internet however many days or weeks ago.
I take back my "astute retorts" comment. This man is completely deranged.
Plinkett: "Yeah, you're such a peaceful people that you keep guns in the armrests of your throne. Yeah, peaceful and paranoid?"
So a leader having some personal security measures means your society can't be peaceful...I get that Stoklasa is trying to be sarcastic and funny, but he's still not making any clever observations here.
This was either written by Rick McCallum, or is the saddest thing I've ever seen.
Or... written by a guy with Glenn Beck's paranoia and the sensibilities of Keith Olbermann.
I'm almost expecting him to say this at some point:
"How dare you sir. You, so called "Mr Plinkett" if that IS your name." ::turns quickly to camera 2, removes glasses:: Have you no class SIR? Your attacks on the logic of the blockade of Naboo and its later invasion are representative of the fallacies of your own eyes...SIR "
I'm still in the middle of reading it. From what I've read, he does seem to give some astute retorts to some of Plinkett's criticism of the film. However, he seems to neglect Plinkett's main point. Even if you make sense of the plot it is still an unsavory mess in thematic storytelling.
I agree mostly with everything Dorkman says. Although, I enjoyed Jeff Bridges' "Dude" like acting/dialogue. Also CLU's poor CGI oddly worked for me since he is an imperfect older Flynn copy.
