Open Overnight Thread - I Hate Mondays EditionHere Kurt Schlichter compiles his list of the best doomsday movies in the last 50 years along with plenty of pith and snark. I have to admit this is one of my guilty-pleasure genres - probably since I happened to catch "When Worlds Collide" late one night as an oh-so-impressionable 5 year old. And don't forget that many of the classic 1970's 'apocalypse' movies were more or less what everyone just assumed the 1990's would be like. Yep - that's how bad things were then. But at their best, these movies show us something about ourselves and about enduring truths, challenging our intellects and asking vital questions about the nature of man. But mostly they’re just cool and fun to watch. So here are his bottom 5 of the top 10 doomsday movies - you'll have to read the article to see which ones are in the top five: 10. Soylent Green (1973) ![]() The facts of life may be conservative but then so are the facts of the Apocalypse: These are intensely conservative films. In Mad Max, Max is a force for order – even when all order collapses and he takes matters into his own hands. In The Road Warrior, Max is totally burned out until he realizes that civilization is worth defending. But not all the survivors feel that way – despite their leader Papagallo’s speech about the need to defend themselves and their future from the barbarian horde, a fair chunk of the band wants to surrender, preferring the lies of the Humungous over the reality of defending themselves. It’s always astonishing how some people are so eager to submit to tyrants. Oh and yeah you might want to buy some more ammunition. New Danger From The Usual Suspects: Passive Overeating "Health experts blame passive overeating…" ...He said an “increased supply of cheap, palatable, energy-dense foods,” coupled with better distribution and marketing, had led to “passive overconsumption.”Nothing is ever your fault - well except for your class crimes that is. ![]() The Price of Weed ![]() A couple years back I was departing from DCA (Ronald Reagan Airport). The TSA has a rule that during the ascent, you have to stay seated due to the airport location. If you standup / get up from your seat, they divert the flight and arrest you (or so claimed the pilot via the intercom).What happens?Some 10 year old next to me proceeds to get sick and throw up all over me just as we take off. I had to sit for 15 minutes w/ barf on me before the flight attendants let me get up and go clean off. Puzzlewood: Middle Earth in England ‘Puzzlewood is an ancient woodland in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England. The area contains strange rock formations, secret caves and ancient trees, with a confusing maze of paths. Puzzlewood is said to be one of J. R. R. Tolkien’s inspirations for Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings.’ ![]() Hollywood's Creepiest Hookups ![]() Johnny Carson, 1976 Eating placenta might sound like the most hippie of hippie-dippie pursuits. But if an article in New York magazine is to be believed, eating your afterbirth (or placentophagia) is trés, trés chic.Hey why not deep fried placenta? It makes everything else taste better! ![]() The Yahoo AoSHQ group. Bla bla bla. And don't forget about the Job Bank.
