Resurrecting the Movies thread...

Well Oilgun, do you realize how many Trekkies are going to pay just to see that 3 second image of the new Star Trek, coming Christmas 2008. I've actually seen the image posted on some mainstream film blogs and that's all it was, an image of the Enterprise under construction. William Shatner is still whining about not being cast... Probably wanted a pretty penny.

How come actors never retire, that's what I want to know. :laugh:

If that thought has ever passed through my mind for even a split second I immediately got rid of the thought, destroyed the brain cells it touched and forgot I ever had it.
:P :P :P

I often wonder what I would do if we had to evacuate suddenly. I never forgot the images of those poor Bosnians, especially old people and children, who were made to trek miles and miles over the harsh countryside as part of Milosovic's ethnic cleansing policy. It's not that far-fetched, unfortunately, given the scenario of a possible "dirty bomb" attack here that could spread radiation over many miles. In fact, ever since 9/11, I have had a purse-size bag sitting in my closet with extra money, a transistor radio, energy bars, water and other portable necessities, ready to pick up and take with me. Sounds paranoid, I know, but I'm not alone by a longshot.
Although a monster attack or a quick climatic disaster is really unlikely, I do think it's only a matter of time before New York and other coastal cities will have to be abandoned in the face of the rising sea levels brought on by global warming. I'm just glad I can enjoy living here now. It's a great city, full of beautiful and exciting things, a wonderful example of how millions of people can coexist together in relative harmony. The disaster scenarios just make me appreciate it all the more on a daily basis.

I know people (okay, actually only one person, and it's NOT me) that won't consider living near any big cities due to possible bomb attacks...
Anyhow... having the little bag packed - actually sounds like a good idea, no matter where you live...
and your last point up there is a really good one.
