Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Makes me long for the unnecessary sequels and remakes....

There are 1,001 stories from *actual naval engagements* that would make an excellent movie...and we get this?

Checkers?

There can be only one.  In a world surrounded by black and Red, one Check (We'll say Bruce Willis in this) must find his way to the end.  Will the Check make it to the other side?  Will he become a King?  Will he destroy all those Black Checkers?  Find out this Summer in, The Lone Red: A Checker Story.

I need sleep, make strange things up. :D

Lewis Carroll's "Through the looking glass" (second part of Alice in wonderland) follows the moves of the pawn in a chess riddle. That turned out alright, though I doubt Carroll is writing the script to this one.

  Oh, they would much rather make something up and make the uneducated masses believe it is history rather than educate themselves and others. The creators are now a product of their own dead-head system which is why their creativity is sapped and they have no capacity for the detailed technique that proper history requires. And the cycle continues because they breed more dead-heads that are worse than the first.

It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

Low production value, but high humor value.

Yes, Hollywood has been out of fresh ideas for a long time.  Those ruling Hollywood are hardly the men who started the movie business, those guys were all about movies.  Now they are all about money.  If a movie is successful, all they can yell is "sequel".  Most sequels suck, they are just greedy attempts to milk a dry cow.
