There are people who haven't seen this movie o.0? Remakes are such a gray area; sometimes more modern spec effects make it better, sometimes a new cast playing our beloved characters screw it up so bad its a frigin nightmare.

She had the voice but not the face... I wonder if Simon Cowell was involved somehow

Death toll said to reach 2,000 as Russia's president announces halt in action TBILISI, Georgia - Russian forces are continuing their offensive despite an order from Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to halt the attacks, Georgia officials said Tuesday. Russian officials denied Georgia's claims.Five days of air and land attacks have sent Georgia's army into headlong retreat and left towns and military bases destroyed. More than 2,000 people were reported killed. Hours before the Russian announcement, Russian forces bombed the crossroads city of Gori and launched an offensive in the part of separatist Abkhazia still under Georgian control, sending in 135 military vehicles — including tanks — and tightening the assault on the beleaguered nation. Gori was all but deserted late Monday — most remaining residents and Georgian soldiers fled ahead of a feared Russian onslaught. Tens of thousands flee In Tskhinvali, South Ossetia's provincial capital, the body of a Georgian soldier lay in the street along with debris and shattered glass. A poster hanging nearby showed Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and the slogan "Say yes to peace and stability" as South Ossetian separatist fighters launched rockets at a Georgian plane soaring overhead. The death toll was expected to rise, for large areas of Georgia were too dangerous for journalists to enter. Tens of thousands of terrified residents have fled the fighting — South Ossetians north to Russia, and Georgians west toward the capital of Tbilisi and the country's Black Sea coast. President Medvedev said on national television that Georgia had been punished enough for its attack on South Ossetia. Georgia launched an offensive late Thursday to regain control over the separatist Georgian province, which has close ties to Russia. "The aggressor has been punished and suffered very significant losses. Its military has been disorganized," Medvedev said. "If there are any emerging hotbeds of resistance or any aggressive actions, you should take steps to destroy them," he ordered his defense minister at a televised Kremlin meeting. The British oil company BP shut down one of three Georgian pipelines as a precaution. Georgia sits on a strategic oil pipeline carrying Caspian crude to Western markets bypassing Russia, has long been a source of contention between the West and a resurgent Russia, which is seeking to strengthen its role as the dominant energy supplier to the continent. Second battlefront Russia's foreign minister called for Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili to resign and Medvedev said Georgia must pull its troops from South Ossetia and Abkhazia — the two Russian-backed breakaway provinces at the heart of the dispute. Russian forces opened a second battlefront in western Georgia on Monday, moving deep into Georgian territory from the separatist province of Abkhazia. They seized a military base in the town of Senaki and occupied police precincts in the town of Zugdidi. On Tuesday, an Associated Press reporter counted 135 Russian military vehicles — included tanks, armored personnel carriers and three pieces of artillery — driving through Georgia toward Kodori Gorge. The northern part of the gorge is the only part of the separatist region of Abkhazia still held by Georgian forces, but they have come under attack in recent days. Russian forces opened the second battlefront in western Georgia on Monday, moving deep into Georgian territory from Abkhazia. 'Annexed country' Scores of Georgians have fled the area. "It feels like an annexed country," said Lasha Margiana, the local administrator in one of the villages in Kodori. People said that many homes were damaged by shelling and that the entire population of the gorge, some 3,000 people, had left. "We left when the shelling started, we don't have food," said Madlena Guarmiani, one of the refugees, who said they had no time to pack food or belongings. In central Georgia, Russian troops advanced into Georgia from the other separatist province, South Ossetia, taking positions near Gori on the main east-west highway as terrified civilians. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said his country had effectively been cut in half. CONTINUED: Television cameraman killed1 | 2 | Next >

damn another one

The conflict in Georgia is spinning out of control. Russian troops have moved deep inside the country in what looks not far short of full-scale invasion, and tens of thousands of civilians are in danger, with many becoming refugees overnight. Diplomats are scrambling to find a solution, and the European Union has proposed a ceasefire and withdrawal of all forces to their previous positions. China has also called for an "Olympic Truce", an ancient tradition that asks all countries to cease hostilities during the Olympic Games. A humbled Georgia has agreed to the ceasefire, now French and Finnish foreign ministers are bringing the proposal to Moscow. In the next 48 hours, a massive global public outcry would show Russian and Georgian leaders that the world wants a ceasefire, and continuing the invasion would seriously damage Russia's international reputation. Click below to sign our emergency petition and then forward this email to your friends and family. We'll publicize the petition in the media and deliver it to the UN Security Council and Russian government: http://www.avaaz.org/en/georgia_ceasefire_now Russia and Georgia have a long history of tensions, but the recent hostilities were sparked over a small region called South Ossetia, which is seeking separation from Georgia. For years South Ossetia has had de facto autonomy, but after clashes between Ossete militia and Georgian troops, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili ordered the army to occupy the small province. The Russian army immediately responded by driving the Georgian army out, bombing targets, attacking towns and taking control of large swathes of territory deep within Georgia. History teaches us that small wars easily spark larger ones. Saakashvili has applied to join NATO, angering Russian Prime Minister Putin, who may be using the invasion to forcibly remove the Georgian leader from power. If Russia tries to remove a democratically elected President by force, the conflict could escalate dangerously, as Georgia is a close ally of the United States. The Georgian and South Ossetian people could become victims of a great global contest for power in the oil rich region. Wars get more vicious and harder to end the longer they last. The best time to stop this one is right now -- let's act now, and help make a ceasefire the first step in a peaceful, negotiated solution to the root causes of conflict in this troubled region.

Its all so predictable anyway. Its not like any of the main or even supporting characters can die in this series. *12 pages of lines and explosions- good guy wins*

I think it be a great anime

wow so young

For the most part the science agrees that there is something beyond planetoid Pluto. Its the progression of the thing everybody has their own opinion. I don't particularly buy into the Planet X gets close enough to fuck the world thing. mega flora fauna extinctions don't happen on the Niburu cycle and its a stretch to get human history to line up (Gilgemesh flood, Aztec Inca Maya, Clovis people east coast north america) Its hard to believe we get slapped back to the stone age every 3600~ish years. Even now our tech and medical knowledge would survive and people would go on even if nothing could survive on the surface of the planet. There are deep underground bases in a lot of countries. The question arises as to what Nibru is, a planet from this solar system with a weird orbit, an escapee planet from another solar system, a companion star to our sun or just the fuckin Death Star. We'll know more as it gets closer whether the govs want us to or not. Sumeria Babaloynia are all in these countries the Bushes have been all about invading and occupying.

I've been enjoyin it since I started readin it

the crew has some mad teamwork bustin out hard core moves ^___^

OMFG AWESOME CHAPTER!!!!!! squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Dear Reader, In 2004, plans were put into motion to crack down on voter registration drives in poor and minority communities, suppressing votes and stripping citizens of a constitutional right. Evidence points to Karl Rove as the mastermind behind this plan and it's time he was held accountable. Join the Secretary of State Project and thousands of Americans in urging the House to take a stand against Rove today. http://www.alternet.org/sosrove_080808 Don Hazen Executive Editor, AlterNet.org ====== Karl Rove has gone too far. It's time to make him pay. The GOP's master trickster has his fingerprints all over a dirty scheme to suppress our votes. It's exactly the kind of scheme that the Secretary of State Project was formed to fight. And right now, we have a unique chance to hold Rove accountable for his acts. http://www.alternet.org/sosrove_080808 For those not following Rove's story, here's a bit of background. In 2004, Justice Department lawyers started getting strange instructions from Washington -- crack down on voter registration drives. But not all registration drives, mind you; just ones that registered poor and minority voters. The idea was to harass progressive organizations and keep poor and minority citizens from getting to the polls. Many Justice Department lawyers, Republicans and Democrats alike, balked at these unscrupulous orders. They (rightly) refused to carry out a partisan witch hunt. And wouldn't you know it, Washington started cracking down on THEM -- firing a host of them and passing up others for promotion, in what came to be known as the U.S. Attorneys Scandal. But who gave the vote-suppression orders in the first place? All signs point to Karl Rove. A long trail of evidence indicates that Rove cooked up and executed the whole scheme. To uncover the truth, the House of Representatives has launched an investigation. They sent Rove a subpoena. He ignored it. Repeatedly. Now, the House is considering a measure to hold Rove in contempt of Congress. Last Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee voted, 20-14, to hold Rove in contempt. The vote now goes to the full House. If found guilty, he could go to jail. No, it's not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it's a huge start. http://www.alternet.org/sosrove_080808 Join hundreds of thousands of Americans urging the House to take a stand against Rove and his dirty tricks. By holding Rove in contempt, we'll send a loud and clear signal to all Bush's cronies -- America's elections must be free and fair. Voter suppression will not be tolerated. After you sign the petition, consider making a contribution to the Secretary of State Project and our candidates. Support from donors like you helped us raise $500,000 in 2006 and win 5 of our 7 elections. Help us continue building the movement against voter suppression, stolen elections and dirty tricksters like Karl Rove. http://www.alternet.org/sosdonate_080808 Becky Bond Secretary of State Project

From the Desk of Caroline Fredrickson Director, ACLU Washington Legislative Office Traveling shouldn't mean checking your rights when you're checking your luggage: http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=d1HVx5YpSQjI5oAzJyFI4w.. ************************************************* Dear ACLU Supporter, Planning a vacation? Thinking about traveling outside the country? If you travel outside the United States, you can kiss your right to privacy, and perhaps your laptop, digital camera and cell phone, goodbye. With no suspicion and no explanation, the U.S. government can seize your laptop, cell phone, or PDA as you enter the United States and download all your private information -- including your personal and business documents, emails, phone calls, and web history. The Department of Homeland Security confirms that this is the official policy. Tell Congress: it's time to rein in travel abuses by the Department of Homeland Security. http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=KuwLW1JIDYYTs0wLHj3aRQ.. What happens if you refuse to let the agents download your personal photos? Or if you have encrypted your private information? Then Border Patrol -- which is now an agency of the Department of Homeland Security -- can simply copy your entire hard drive or even take your device and hang on to it indefinitely. Unfortunately, seizing laptops and cameras at the border isn't the only travel security measure that infringes on our civil liberties. Just last month, the U.S. government's "terrorist watch list" surpassed one million names and is growing by over twenty-thousand names per month. The watch list includes the names of prominent people, like Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), plus hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans -- many of them with common names like Robert Johnson and James Robinson. Your name might be on the list, but there's no way to know for sure until you are delayed -- or even detained for hours in a back room. If you discover your name is on the list, it's nearly impossible to get off. It actually took an Act of Congress to get Nelson Mandela off the list. No joke. An Act of Congress. These abuses have something in common: They make all of us into suspects, with no rule of law and no accountability. Tell Congress: it's time to rein in travel abuses by the Department of Homeland Security. http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=se4V4JbZosWmTxuDAk_BmQ.. It's hard to know what surveillance-state bureaucrats will come up with next. For instance, many airports are using scanners that are so invasive that they are like a virtual strip search! See-through body scanning machines are capable of showing an image of a passenger's naked body. Security measures like this are extremely intrusive -- and should only be used when there is good cause to suspect that an individual is a security risk. And recently, the TSA expressed interest in having every traveler wear an "electro-muscular disruption" bracelet that airline personnel or marshals could use to shock passengers into submission. Unless something is done, this plan may not be as far-fetched as one would think. Tell Congress: it's time to rein in travel abuses by the Department of Homeland Security. http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=fS4KKpshMTvJlNng-OLUMw.. Traveling shouldn't mean checking your rights when you're checking your luggage. It's time for some sanity when it comes to security. Please, speak out now. Caroline Fredrickson, Director ACLU Washington Legislative Office P.S. Many Americans don't know about these travel abuses. Please forward this email on to anyone you know who travels and ask them to take action, too. © ACLU, 125 Broad Street, 18th Floor New York, NY 10004
