Baader Meinhof Complex, The (2008) IMDB rating: 7.40 Plot: Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

Will an hid kit void my warranty?
I have a 2010 mitsubishi lancer es will by installing an hid kit will that void my warranty?

They probably wont even notice, but if something electrical went wrong im sure these places are out for money.
Victor | Feb 04, 2010

---

It shouldn’t as long as you can take it all out before you go to the dealer without leaving any traces. Usually doing any modifications to your car voids the warranty. Also HID’s are illegal in most places to install on cars that didn’t come on them to begin with, you could blind oncoming traffic and hurt someone.
Jeremiah164 | Feb 04, 2010

It will, if they notice it, which they will if you go to them with an electrical problem. They’ll say you’ve been fiddling with the electrics and it’s down to you.

This gives you the facts about aftermarket HID’s, which you may find useful: http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/drs /hidheadlamps

has nothing to do with drive train which your warranty covers

if it melts or shorts out your wiring system or not
most warranties cover motor parts not oil, brake, tires or lights

I would not try it if i were you. I had a friend who installed the HID’s in his car and the wiring from the lite assembly all the way back to the headlight multi function switch had burned out. The dealer voided his warranty on him. $600 later he head the same headlights that came with the car through the factory. He had an Audi.

good luck…….

Is my Sonnet in Iambic Pentameter?
A hawk am I, fierce beak, claws sharp as knives,
I swoop, wings beating air, and snatch up fish
From water, eating fast, a sharp, quick dive
Will get me all the food for which I wish.

My wings spread far, and make a shadow down there,
On fields of wheat and forests green with life
And rivers winding through the land, so fair,
A mouse I spy scurrying without strife.

I pounce upon the rodent small and white,
It does not see my form as I draw near,
Between my claws and then without a fight,
The creature is now paralyzed with fear.

Wings, please take me as high as clouds in day,
And stars in night, the world will have its way.

No, luv.
Iambic Pentameter is when it follows a certain beat, usually on the second syllable, and every other syllable after that.
Much of Shakespeare’s writing was in Iambic Pentameter.

Virtualreality | Feb 07, 2010

Short answer: yes. It is.

However, you’ve tried so hard to focus on the meter that a lot of your phrasing is really weird ("and make a shadow down there" is really awkward), a lot of your lines contain unnecessary filler words (all the food for which I wish), and the poem generally doesn’t seem to mean anything (especially the final couplet).

One criticism of the meter is you use a lot of pyrrhics and spondees. Try to use them as little as possible, as they make the meter sound really weird except in rare cases when you’re using them to make a point.

Last Samurai, The (2003) IMDB rating: 7.80 Plot: In the 1870s, Captain Nathan Algren, a cynical veteran of the American Civil war who will work for anyone, is hired by Americans who want lucrative contracts with the Emperor of Japan to train the peasant conscripts for the first standing imperial army in modern warfare using firearms. The imperial Omura cabinet’s first priority is to repress a rebellion of traditionalist Samurai -hereditary warriors- who remain devoted to the sacred dynasty but reject the Westernizing policy and even refuse firearms. Yet when his ill-prepared superior force sets out too soon, their panic allows the sword-wielding samurai to crush them. Badly wounded Algren’s courageous stand makes the samurai leader Katsumoto spare his life; once nursed to health he learns to know and respect the old Japanese way, and participates as advisor in Katsumoto’s failed attempt to save the Bushido tradition, but Omura gets repressive laws enacted- he must now choose to honor his loyalty to one of the embittered sides when the conflict returns to the battlefield…

Is "Avatar" another example of White guilt? Racism?
Is the movie "Avatar" another example of "white guilt"? Think of "Dances With Wolves" or "The Last Samurai", where instead of being the conqueror, the white hero becomes a member and then saviour of an indigenous people. Is "Avatar" the latest of these types of movies, and if it is does this mean it is racist? (I mean, is it so hard to think that a Native people could save themselves without the help of a white saviour?)

Or, is the movie simply a way to get humans who see the environment as something to dominate/conquer to think about our environmental practices – and the way to make them (or us, depending on who you are) care is by having a human "see the light" about the environment while being amongst an indigenous race that understands and does not think of the earth as something to be "subdued" or "conquered"?
By the way, I did see the movie and loved it. This theme of "white guilt" bothered me a bit (though I’m not white), but I loved the movie because of the world I was transported to.
I did enjoy the movie very much (Pandora was beautiful!), but as an academic I always question things and look at why a certain point of view is put forth in art. We may think that ideas just fall from the sky but they do not. Art is always a reflection of society or the individual person.

If you would like to read something to see the Indigenous Traditionalist (Native American Traditionalist) point of view on the "Noble Savage" theme and the effects of those who feel "White guilt" and wish to dissassociate themselves with their european conqueror heritage (and so they imagine they are the savior instead), please look into the book called "Fantasies of the Master Race: Literature, Cinema, and the Colonization of American Indians" by Ward Churchill. Also you can look at other books by this author and by an author named Vine Deloria Jr. I am not Native American but I’ve done a fair amount of research on the subject and I sympathize with the Traditionalist point of view.
Thank you for your opinions! I will leave it up to voters to choose a best answer.

i believe that the maker of this move was trying to get across what we are doing to the environment. people sometimes try to find problems in every movie instead of just enjoying it.
Viki W | Jan 27, 2010

I don’t think you should look into it so much. It was a movie – enjoy it for what it was, instead of what it could’ve been.

Beowulf & Grendel (2005) IMDB rating: 6.10 Plot: The blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior’s battle against the great and murderous troll, Grendel. Heads will roll. Out of allegiance to the King Hrothgar, the much respected Lord of the Danes, Beowulf leads a troop of warriors across the sea to rid a village of the marauding monster. The monster, Grendel, is not a creature of mythic powers, but one of flesh and blood – immense flesh and raging blood, driven by a vengeance from being wronged, while Beowulf, a victorious soldier in his own right, has become increasingly troubled by the hero-myth rising up around his exploits. Beowulf’s willingness to kill on behalf of Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is more responsible for the troll’s rampages than was first apparent. As a soldier, Beowulf is unaccustomed to hesitating. His relationship with the mesmerizing witch, Selma, creates deeper confusion. Swinging his sword at a great, stinking beast is no longer such a simple act. The story is set in barbarous Northern Europe where the reign of the many-gods is giving way to one – the southern invader, Christ. Beowulf is a man caught between sides in this great shift, his simple code transforming and falling apart before his eyes. Vengeance, loyalty and mercy powerfully entwine. A story of blood and beer and sweat, which strips away the mask of the hero-myth, leaving a raw and tangled tale.

How do you interpret the end of the 2007 Beowulf movie ?
First of all, I love the new twists they added to the story. It makes it much more interesting.

However, I find it very nightmarish and desturbing, that they never actually defeat the sea demon (Angelina Jolie).

Basically what we have is;
1) the original king, was seduced by the Sea demon … she bore Grendel to him. And Grendel Plagued the city.

2) Beowulf comes along and kills Grendel. However, Beowulf loses his battle with the sea demon, and lays with her instead. He gives her a golden horn, and promises him that as long as she has it, he will be invincible.

3) The Kings is so estatic to be rid of her curse anyway, that he jumps to his death.

4) Beowulf becomes king only to have his demon son (the dragon, born from the sea demon) attack years later. Beowulf sacrifices himself to kill him.

The movie ends with Beowulf’s loyal Wiglaf standing on the shore, holding the cursed horn and looking at the sea demon.

It would have been so much more satisfying if Wiglaf had thrown the horn back into the ocean, and gone back ashore.

As it is the movie ends nightmarish. You are left thinking "Oh God, don’t tell me the same cycle will start all over again."

Question for anyone with social anxiety disorder..or has a lot of experience working with it?
Do you find that sometimes you’re so shy that everyone can tell, and you feel transparent in terms of the other person being completely aware that you’re only making polite conversation because you’re so dam nervous in the first place and don’t want to look even more nervous or worse wierd by saying nothing, so it gives the feeling of it being a fake and pointless conversation, with you and the other person bound by the unwritten rules of a silent, mutual agreement – like ”Yes, lets both BS eachother and pretend this conversation is valid and normal to avoid us both the embarrassment”

Other shy but never-the-less relatively well functioning people pick up on it the most because obviously they can identify it more easily in other people by relating it back to themselves, but still the embarrassment is raw…if you have social anxiety can you relate to what im saying, sort of like most ppl can tell you don’t really want the conversation and are just fronting out of shyness to the point you feel phoney, and also a bit guilty for triggering their awkwardness?

I don’t think im being paranoid….it’s blatently obvious when someone is laughing nervously, or just from their awkward silence being deafening, lol…im talking more about dealing with people like pizza delivery guys, or shopkeepers or anyone else you have to deal with for a minute or two just to be able to eat everyday….

Cheers all answers
Thanks Libby, I understand that you’re just trying to make an extra buck, hence blatently spamming my question, but its a bit immoral doing it in this section and capitalizing off people’s misery, so kindly fuck off.
Peace-lover, I understand you unlike the first answer genuinely mean well, and while I believe in a bigger purpose, and higher noble power of some sort, I like many other people can never subscribe to the particular beliefs you are encouraging, and while I won’t go to the extent of labelling you a ”Religious conversion spammer” not too dis-similar to the other type of spammer here, I will give you a hint – the moment you post a long answer in the mental health section and ppl see the words ”Lord” and ”Him” we are highly likely to be put off christianity even more so….my advice is to use a different method, something more subtle that’ll grab their attention without making them suspicious,…never make the mistake that ”mentally ill” people are somehow necessarily easily suggestible….hope that helped.
.
And sorry if that seems harsh, but I have memories of me in a hospital bed after losing it, and a baptist minister I only vaguely knew waking me up and immediately preaching with a smug grin on his face…this didnt bother me and I was thankful, but i’ll never forget the church ‘counsellors’ dropping me like a stone later on in life when I had a bad breakdown and needed help most – which happened to be around the same stage in time they were pretty sure they were never going to convert me….

---

I don’t talk to people like shopkeepers or pizza delivery people unless they talk to me first. I just endure the awkwardness because I know that the conversation will be even more awkward if I start it up. I feel like most of the time they are just talking to me out of politeness and they either think I am really stuck up or just plain strange.I do feel bad for making situations awkward because I am very good at doing it and I know they feel it to. It does feel phony to me a lot I think others can tell it is not natural for me to talk.

Know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end — time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God’s blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can’t explain the world’s natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner’s prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus’ name, amen." I’m Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God’s will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
