Robocop: Great when you're six, hilarious when you're twenty something.

It's like William Dozier's Batman. As you get older, you learn to appreciate more of it.

I'm not sure what that means. Is that an "FU Enemieeezzz!" gesture or something else?

And in the spirit of things I live 40 miles from CENTCOM. A 5MT surface strike won't scratch me, bitches. General Schwartzkopf (ret) lives 15 miles east of me, but an equal amount of miles north. I'll trust his threat assessment.

Skyfall, despite its problems with a villain with stupidly, needlessly convoluted Joker-esque plans (saved by Javier Bardem's funny but menacing performance), has beaten out on Avatar in the UK box office and seized nearly a billion dollars worldwide (how did MGM go bankrupt?!).

I firmly agree with that.
QoS was Craig's weakest instalment and a bit too short (though not as bad as Bronan's last two movies), but I liked how we saw Quantum fleshed out as a real successor to SPECTRE and I want to see Mr. White one last time in the next couple of movies for a proper closure (though I wouldn't hold my breath and the producers badly crapped out on Tracy's death in OHMSS by crapping out Diamonds Are Forever).

Yes, 1987's RoboCop seems strikingly similar to the stuff happening in the last ten to twelve years; why are they doing a fairly close remake now?

The news today was bad.

I'm confronted by three things:

First, the way that the United States mourns and laments each shooting as an event but how nearly all sides of the political discourse do nothing to deal with violence as a cultural phenomenon. We lament the deaths of these shooting victims, and the ones before them, and the ones before them, but most people go out of their way not to see the connections between them and to try to fix the systemic problem. Even those that do bury their heads in the sand when it comes to how our tolerance of violent crime in places like Detroit and Newark (or drone strikes in Afghanistan) helps to elide the true causes of violence in schools. To try and address violence in schools without similarly addressing the tolerance the country has for violence so long as it is situated in proper geographic locales (read: poor and/or black) strikes me as a sisyphean task.

Second, the apathy which many politically active people approach the question of violence in culture/schools. The way people who will flier, campaign, run workshops, or more will simply shrug their shoulders and say "Oh dear" to this. (I include myself in this mess of people.) It depresses me and makes me even more apathetic.

Third, how twenty children dying is a catastrophe that will dominate the news cycle for days to come, but ten billion animals being slaughtered every year for food in the United States is something buried and ignored by almost everyone. Odds are that more animals have died in the last ten years than there will be humans in existence, ever. Slaughtered in the most painful heart-breaking ways with no chance to engage in anything remotely resembling a true existence for no purpose other than our pleasure, yet this travesty is completely ignored.

Fuck.

I kind of wonder how many kids the Syrian government kills a day. We never hear anything.

30 000 kids die every day from starvation.

It would cost a few stealth bombers to prevent. Seems negligent.

Makes me think of the old saying: one death is a tragedy, a thousand is a statistic.
