I know, I thought I was right on the verge of an alien, mother/daughter 3 way with Anna and Blondie.

Blondie was good, but my fave character was Kyle Hobbes. He was supposed to be an ex-sas dude, but for some reason kept changing his accent between scenes. His voice regulary went from British to Aussie to South African and then on to American with a splash of New Zealand thrown in.
He also didn't really look too hard with a shit beard and hairstyle to match.



And looking ever so scary...

I downloaded and watched The Power of Nightmares just to see what all the fuss was about. Liked the story of the rise of the neocon ideology but felt that the proposition that Al Queda is a harmless, overhyped myth to be less than convincing. Similar premise to Farenheit 911 but not as well done.

I have no doubt Al Qaida was invented by the Americans, and as it stands is more of a mythical beast than a reality, although certain iconic terrorist leaders have seized on it to give themselves more credibility.

If you bracket all the financiers with the terrorist organisations that they fund and call them "Al Qaida" it sounds good, but the reality is that they are not the organisation that lying wankers like Cheney and Rumsfeld would have had us believe.

But you're right, it was a disappointing trio of programmes.

I did like Inside Job, but those in power are too entrenched, and the people too weak to make any difference any more.

Inside Job was really good,

I recommend also "Enron, the Smartest guy in the room"

Look for a series called Banged Up Abroad (or in some territories, Locked Up Abroad).

Frightening stuff. The boy locked up in Kuwait is one lucky S.O.B.

^It's on NatGeo here in Thailand. Good program.

[sabaii sabaii]

^^ I watched one the other week about the Aussie in Thailand who started off TEFLing then Human trafficking, then worked his way up to Heroin Smuggler, before getting stopped by DEA. He then caught Aids in Bang Kwang through sharing needles, injecting Smack,and is back in Aus now after a Kings Pardon, Maybe dead now, but good viewing

[Humbert]

^ Saw one a couple weeks ago about a couple of young fools from NY who bought hashish in the Philipines and tried smuggling into South Korea via express mail. Morons.

The two English lads in Venezuela was a bit scary as well. One of them was going a bit mental before they were released on license and escaped home via Bogota.

NAAK a.k.a Deep In The Jungle (2009)



"Nawin (Jesdaporn Pholdee), an army secret service agent decides to withdraw from a scientific investigation because of unlawful procedures involving International Forces. Although he has tried desperately to avoid the illegal acts of the armed forces, it seems the harder he tries the more involved he becomes. He is constantly under surveillance no matter where he goes or what he does which makes him realize there is more to the situation than that meets the eye. Jin (Ploy Jindachote), a young woman whom Nawin once saved from a brutal attack, is undergoing a strange transformation within her body as her blood circulates through mutation. This transformation on Jin is what Nawin believes the International Forces are after, the half breed mix between animal and human. Nawin decides to help Jin by taking her back to her birth place. As he leads her home, her illness seems to subside. They will soon grow close and fall in love. "

BBC iPlayer - All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace: Love and Power

"A series of films about how humans have been colonised by the machines they have built. Although we don't realise it, the way we see everything in the world today is through the eyes of the computers.

This is the story of the dream that rose up in the 1990s that computers could create a new kind of stable world. They would bring about a new kind global capitalism free of all risk and without the boom and bust of the past. They would also abolish political power and create a new kind of democracy through the internet where millions of individuals would be connected as nodes in cybernetic systems - without hierarchy.

The film tells the story of two perfect worlds. One is the small group of disciples around the novelist Ayn Rand in the 1950s. They saw themselves as a prototype for a future society where everyone could follow their own selfish desires. The other is the global utopia that digital entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley set out to create in the 1990s. Many of them were also disciples of Ayn Rand. They believed that the new computer networks would allow the creation of a society where everyone could follow their own desires, yet there would not be anarchy. They were joined by Alan Greenspan who had also been a disciple of Ayn Rand. He became convinced that the computers were creating a new kind of stable capitalism - "Like a New Planet", he said.

But the dream of stability in both worlds would be torn apart by the two dynamic human forces - love and power."

Interesting view on the financial and technology near past.

[Neo]

I enjoyed it. Kind of went off the beaten track, but it was interesting how it linked China buying US bonds and overinflating the US economy, and it's subsequent crash, as payback for what the US/World Banks/IMF did to SEA 10 years earlier.

I'll be interested in the programmes take on the growth of online communities.

^^ incidentally, there is an e-G8 meeting happening in Paris where all the big wigs have been invited to discuss the future of Internet

Sarko, the turd, and heading the meeting, has been advocating a non-neutral Internet, that is a regulated Internet

no more freedom, no more digital dream

Just the way you seem to be easily confused with English not being your native tongue. Just curious if you have really understood what you watched, or maybe just thought you did.

The recent Saturday Night Live episode with Helen Mirren hosting is hilarious. Especially the Fox News spoof.
