Paycheck: If at the start of a movie, Ben Affleck is some sort of Martial Artist, press the little square button on your remote and walk away. D+.

The Last samurai: I liked it, the GF did not. It was one of those EPIC battle dealies about honor, and being brave against a superior enemy. Plus, there were tons of Ninjas attacking Samuris. Weeeeaaaooooooohhh. Ninjas are cool. My advice is to watch the movie, but don’t watch any of the DVD extras unless, of course, you are interested in seeing how self-absorbed actors really are. When they start referring to their characters as if they were real people, it’s time to go for the square button. B+

I had a good conversation with someone on the nature of the U.S. last night. He claimed that we are not a nation of preemptive strikers, and that our current role in the world was not in line with the principals that America was founded on.

I claimed that the U.S. government is the most effective form of population control that the world has ever seen. By breaking the role of community and self-reliance in its people, it has produced a cattle like population who not only has its freedoms easily taken from it, but willingly gives them away.

Making a smart man think is interesting to watch.
