Anneliese Michel



Stumbled across this video while trying to research the title of an alien invaders movie that used to scare me when I was a kid. I guess the "body snatchers" search tag shares similar meaning with demonic possession. This girl was the subject of one of the most famous exorcism cases in history. I cannot guarantee that it is real, but it definitely gave me the shivers. I guess they based the movies The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Requiem on her story. By the way the movie I was searching for turned out to be the 1986 Remake of Invaders from Mars (see below).

Curveball



Saw this 60 minutes interview a while back with the Iraqi informant known as "Curveball" who was apparently the primary source for the Bush administration's claim of WMDs in Iraq. It's a pretty remarkable interview, the guy's ears are leaking shit.

Exit Through the Giftshop



Saw this recently... it chronicles street artist Banksy and some of his cohorts working on some really inspiring early footage. The film is the subject of some controversy regarding the legitimacy of Thierry Guetta, the obsessive tape recording Frenchmen whom the film chronicles. Watch it, keeping in mind the contrast of conventional gallery art and street art and scam scam scam! I personally think Thierry is Banksy's genius character he dreamed up to totally dupe art snobs into spending way too much money on artwork valued purely on relative hype.

S.F. Next?




Read this today in Newsweek and it made a lot of sense...

"Even more worrisome than geography and topography, though, is geological history. For this event cannot be viewed in isolation (Japanese earthquake) . There was a horrifically destructive pacific earthquake in New Zealand on Feb. 22, an even more violent magnitude-8.8 event in Chile almost exactly a year before. All three phenomena involved more or less the same family of circum-Pacific fault lines and plate boundaries-and though there is still no hard scientific evidence to explain why, there is little doubt now that earthquakes do tend to occur in clusters: a significant event on on side of a major tectonic plate is often-not invariably, but often enough to be noticeable- followed some weeks or months later by another on the plate's far side. It is as though the earth becomes like a great brass bell, which when struck by an enormous hammer blow on one side sets to vibrating and ringing from all over. Now there have been catastrophic event at three corners of the Pacific Plate- on in the northwest, on Friday; on in the southwest, last month; one in the southeast, last year. That leaves just one corner unaffected, the northeast."

the birth of the singularity.

radiation isolation.

why the earthquake happened by cindy fucking jacobs



"“This island, Hokkaido, looks like the head of a dragon with the body being the rest of Japan. The people of Asia have worshipped the dragon for 5,000 years. If one looks at the place where the earthquake took place, it looks like the soft underbelly of most vulnerable part of the dragon. Let's pray that the deep idolatry and the worship of hundreds of idols under the guise of Shintoism, Buddhism, and allegiances to being “sons of the dragon” will be broken and thousands will turn to the Lord.”

What really happened to Corey and Trevor

So as many of my fellow TPB fans probably know, Corey and Trevor are noticably missing from the 7th season of TPB. I was always curious why, and it turns out that, according to Michael Jackson (trevor), the cast and crew of TPB was pretty much screwed over. Here's the rub from trevor
