Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play,'' the committee said.<br /><br />Theodore Roosevelt won the award in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson won in 1919. Former President Jimmy Carter won the award in 2002, while former Vice President Al Gore shared the 2007 prize with the UN panel on climate change.<br /><br />The Nobel committee received a record 205 nominations for this year's prize.<br /><br />In his 1895 will, Alfred Nobel stipulated that the peace prize should go ``to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses.''<br /><br />Unlike the other Nobel Prizes, which are awarded by Swedish institutions, he said the peace prize should be given out by a five-member committee elected by the Norwegian Parliament. Sweden and Norway were united under the same crown at the time of Nobel's death.<br /><br />The committee has taken a wide interpretation of Nobel's guidelines, expanding the prize beyond peace mediation to include efforts to combat poverty, disease and climate change.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087295777099278300.post-57766383003378419652009-10-09T03:04:00.000-07:002009-10-09T03:06:27.369-07:00NASA moon bombing live stream video<img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlf-8flROW56faTfNAuZiBMIrCAQypeGqDRMHDU0bNFdOABpsswO-c-Hu6gYuCd1PYmPAKRMkOAIloXThInm9iRx8jDz8Jb7F5_ydWfy4V9ankNI-4apt35dKz2sQVCf0wnm6RfG-dJBTy/s400/watch+nasa+moon+bombing+mission+video+lcross+live+stream+online.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><span style="font-size:180%;">NASA moon bombing live stream video<br /><br /></span> All is set for one of the biggest missions for NASA (<span style="font-weight: bold;">National Aeronautics and Space Administration</span>) this year as it prepares on a mission to discover whether its earlier findings of water on the moon is true. Earlier, three different space probes have found the chemical signature of water all over the moon. Thus by bombing the South pole, NASA hopes to expose what it expects to be huge deposits of ice hidden beneath the surface. The LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite) mission will send a missile to blast a hole in the lunar surface near the moon's South pole. According to NASA, the impact will produce a<br /><span class="fullpost">plume which an orbiting satellite will then analyze.<br /><br /><blockquote>The Centaur rocket will strike first, transforming 2200 kg of mass and 10 billion joules of kinetic energy into a blinding flash of heat and light. Researchers expect the impact to throw up a plume of debris as high as 10 km.<br /><br />Close behind, the LCROSS mothership will photograph the collision for NASA TV and then fly right through the debris plume. Onboard spectrometers will analyze the sunlit plume for signs of water (H2O), water fragments (OH), salts, clays, hydrated minerals and assorted organic molecules.</blockquote><br /><br />Watch the <a href="http://www.inewscatcher.com/2009/10/nasa-moon-bombing-live-stream-online.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NASA moon bombing live online streaming</span></a>. The LCROSS <span style="font-weight: bold;">NASA moon bombing streaming video</span> is available through <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html" rel="nofollow">NASA TV</a> or via the <a href="http://www.slooh.com/LCROSS/nasa_moon_event/lunar_crater_observation_sensing_satellite.php" rel="nofollow">SLOOH telescope system</a>. Or for those who want to view the event using their own telescopes, here is a guideline from the <a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/10/091008-nasa-moon-bombing-lcross-water-crash.html" rel="nofollow">National Geographic</a>. The impact takes place on Oct 9, 2009 at 4:30 a.m. US PDT (7:30 a.m. US EDT, 10:30pm AEDT).<br /><br /><blockquote>Unlike most cosmic impacts, though, the LCROSS crashes will have an audience: Many amateur astronomers in the Americas will have their telescopes trained on the impact site. Even more can watch the LCROSS moon impact on the NASA TV Web site.<br /><br />Enthusiasts on the U.S. East Coast should tune in, since their view of the LCROSS impact will be blocked by early morning sunlight, experts say.<br /><br />Only North, Central, and South America will be facing the moon at the time of the LCROSS impact, allowing astronomers and stargazers there a rare view, experts say.<br /><br />Anyone in these regions with at least a 10-inch (25.4-centimeter) telescope should be able to catch a glimpse of dusty debris—and maybe water vapor—billowing into the sunlight above the crater's rim, astronomers say.</blockquote></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087295777099278300.post-2951327564182225772009-10-08T03:03:00.000-07:002009-10-08T03:06:18.320-07:00ESPN Magazine body issue Serena Williams nude pictures<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Serena Williams nude pictures</span><br /><br />ESPN Magazine</span> has decided to switch it up this month by mounting a direct challenge to Sports Illustrated’s popular Swimsuit Edition with what they are calling their “Body Issue.” Out on newsstands this Friday (October 9), the first annual Body Issue will feature a number of popular and successful, athletes posing, tastefully, completely in the n***. The idea is to demonstrate to readers what the body of a top athlete looks like (versus SI’s Swimsuit Edition which lets us know what hot models in bikinis or paint look like).

Check.<br /><br />The scientific background on the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (PDF) is, as always, the best place for advanced students to start reading about the context of the scientific achievements of the three laureates. These are terrific, underappreciated, and meticulously constructed review articles, and this one by Måns Ehrenberg is no exception. Page 14, for example, provides a detailed list of the antibiotics that target the small and large ribosomal subunits of bacteria.<br /><br />I was surprised - maybe not - that while I consider myself knowledgeable about transcriptional regulation, my understanding of the mechanics of protein synthesis is comparatively woeful. I suspect this reflects my own training by people who traced their scientific roots to the masters of DNA synthesis and the antimetabolites chemotherapeutics that target DNA and RNA synthesis. And while we've all used the natural product cycloheximide (from Streptomyces griseus) as a protein synthesis inhibitor in laboratory experiments, how many of us really know how it works.<br /><br />I digress, but I wanted to give the general reader an idea that many of us who study the chemistry of biology have spent far more time tackling other areas than the one for which today's prize is awarded.<br /><br />And for those who claim that today's prize isn't "really" about chemistry, let me provide this paragraph from p. 4 of the Nobel background narrative that sets these discoveries in context:<br /><br />Long standing mysteries in ribosome function. From this brief account of ribosome function it follows that the ribosome catalyzes two chemical reaction steps involving covalent bonds: peptide bond formation and ester bond hydrolysis during termination. . .<br /><br />. . .The chemical mechanisms of the covalent reaction steps carried out by the ribosome remained mysterious during decades of intense work on the bacterial ribosome by a large number of groups. How tRNAs and class-1 release factors manage to discriminate so precisely between their cognate and near-cognate codons in a ribosome dependent manner were other unanswered questions. Finally, how antibiotic drugs and ribosomal mutations can tune the accuracy of codon reading up or down have also remained obscure. The clarification of these and other central questions concerning normal ribosome function and how ribosome function is perturbed by the action of antibiotic drugs or mutations depended on the advent of crystal structures at high resolution of ribosomal subunits, the whole ribosome and important functional complexes of the ribosome, its subunits and, finally, of the 70S ribosome itself.<br /><br />If that's too complicated, how about this figure from p. 12:<br />2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.jpg<br /><br />The acid test: if I see electrons being pushed around, it's chemistry.<br /><br />Let me close with this very serious issue because, after all, chemistry is life.<br /><br />These discoveries have focused on mechanisms of basic cellular action - the distinctions between bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomal function have provided us with antibiotics that have arguably been the single greatest contribution to the increase in life expectancy that occurred in the 20th century. Unfortunately, bacteria evolve much faster than we do and antibiotic resistance is an increasingly life-threatening problem around the world, especially as drug-resistant strains previously restricted to hospitals are now acquired in the community.<br /><br />Ehrenberg notes:<br /><br />In the years after the Second World War, the wide spread introduction of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections revolutionized medicine and dramatically improved the health condition on a global scale. Now, 60 years later, the ever evolving antibiotic resistance among pathogens has heavily depleted the arsenal of effective antibiotic drugs. We seem to be running out of options, and a return to the pitiful health conditions preceding the Second World War has become an ominous scenario. About 90 000 patients in the USA die yearly as a result of bacterial infections compared to only about 13 000 twenty years ago, and in the majority of these casualties antibiotic resistance is an aggravating factor.<br /><br />In recent years structure-based drug design (SBDD), where high resolution structures of drug targets and their resistance mutants are used to create novel drugs, has scored some promising successes, e.g. in the quest against HIV-virus infections. The ribosome is the target for about 50% of all antibacterial drugs to date, and the advent of high resolution structures of both ribosomal subunits has opened a large number of possibilities for SBDD of new and effective drugs in the race against resistance development among bacterial pathogens.<br /><br />The meticulous dissection of ribosomal action by each of the laureates and their research teams has given us insight into the chemical mechanisms of action in protein synthesis, revealing the precise action of targets and how new compounds might be designed to overcome resistance. A number of us in so-called technologically-advanced nations have lost friends and loved ones to infectious diseases, even today.<br /><br />The work of today's laureates is already influencing the discovery and design of novel antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacteria and viral strains.<br /><br />Heartiest to congratulations to Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, Thomas Steitz, and Ada Yonath and, very importantly, their laboratory colleagues past and present.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venkatraman_Ramakrishnan<br /><br /><br /><br /></span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"> Venkatraman "Venki" Ramakrishnan</span> will travel from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, to deliver the next talk, entitled "Insights from the Structure of the 30S Ribosomal Subunit." Last year, Ramakrishnan, then at the University of Utah, led a group that determined this structure and published the work in <i>Nature</i>. In this paper, Ramakrishnan's group identified key portions of the RNA and, using previously determined structures, positioned all seven of the subunit's proteins. Most recently, he published two papers in the Sept. 21 issue of <i>Nature</i> that present the 3 Angstrom structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit and its complex with several antibiotics. These studies provide atomic-level insight into protein synthesis and the antibiotics that block it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087295777099278300.post-68541167044226240182009-09-22T04:59:00.000-07:002009-09-22T05:05:52.080-07:00Download Vettaikaran Free MP3 Songs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://vettaikaran.info/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 181px; height: 225px;" src="http://vettaikaran.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/vettaikaran-songs-release-poster-498x621-custom.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Download Vettaikaran Free MP3 Songs<br /></span><p><a href="http://vettaikaran.info/vettaikaran-songs"><b>Vettaikaran songs</b></a> will be releasing on <b>September 23.</b> Now this sunday we are back yet again with an exclusive news.

Earlier this month we wrote an article about this solar eclipse that provide indepth analysis of the solar eclipse – time of occurrences at various parts of the world, path of the solar eclipse and precautions to be taken.<br /><br />The Exploratorium’s eclipse expedition team has chased its fair share of total solar eclipses—seven so far—Webcasting these magnificent events to people around the world. While we won’t be traveling to this year’s eclipse, we plan to cover the total solar eclipse in July 2010. For this year, we’re providing links to other eclipse Web sites, and we’ll direct you to live Webcasts or broadcasts of the eclipse. We'll keep adding information, so check back here as the date approaches. On this site, you can watch archived Webcasts of previous eclipses, learn how to view an eclipse, read feature stories about eclipses, and much more!<br /><br /><br /><br /><h1>The path of totality</h1> <p> At sunrise on July 22, 2009, (the evening of July 21 PDT), the moon’s umbra—the cone-shaped part of the moon’s shadow—will fall on India’s Gulf of Khambhat. The shadow will sweep across Asia and the South Pacific before leaving the earth near the Marshall Islands about 3½ hours later. The path of totality will cover a distance of approximately 9,500 miles (15,200 km). The maximum duration of totality is an exceptionally long 6 minutes and 39 seconds, which will come while the shadow is over the Pacific. </p> <!--END div around the caption--> <div style="float: left; padding-left: 30px; padding-top: 30px;"><!--div around the image--> <a rel="shadowbox[gallery];options={onOpen:blankContent,onClose:restoreContent}" href="http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/2009/gallery/01.jpg" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('path','','images/path_thumbover.jpg',1)"><img src="http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/2009/images/path_thumb.jpg" alt="The Path of Totality" id="path" name="path" border="0" /></a> </div><!--END div around the image--> <!--END div around the image and caption--> <br /> <h1> Webcasts</h1> Grupo Saros (China - Wuhan) <a href="http://www.saros.org/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.saros.org/index.html</a><br /><br />Eclipse City (China - Shanghai) <a href="http://www.eclipse-tv.com/" target="_blank">http://www.eclipse-tv.com/</a><br /><br />Live!

/></span> Railway Minister <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mamata Banerjee</span> is scheduled to present the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Railway Budget at 12 pm in Parliament</span> today amid much speculation. Banerjee's previous stint saw finances in a mess and she must be careful not to reverse Lalu Prasad Yadav's smart ways of raising passenger revenue and should not let the Railways slip into departmentalism.<br /><br />CNBC-TV18’s Economic Policy Editor Vivian Fernandes reports that the Railway Minister is likely to focus on better passenger amenities like sanitation and hygienic food, issues that were ignored by her predecessor. She may also promise quick completion of the East-West dedicated freight corridor and the extension of the Western corridor from Sonnagar to Dankuni.<br /><br />Here is a verbatim transcript of Vivian Fernandes’ comments on <span style="font-weight: bold;">CNBC-TV18</span>. Also watch the accompanying video.<br /><br />Mamata Banerjee has said that passenger amenities are going to be the focus and so one could expect emphasize on cleanliness, hygienic food aspects which were ignored by predecessor Lalu Prasad Yadav with his drive for profits.<br /><br />She said that the East-West dedicated freight corridor is gong to be completed expeditiously. One can expect her to announce an extension of the Eastern corridor that currently terminates at Sonnagar on the Bihar West Bengal Border to Dankuni near Kolkata,<br /><br />Mamata Banerjee might be in Railway Bhavan but her eyes are set on righteous building Chief Ministership of West Bengal and Lalu Yadav has shown it is possible to cater to ones political constituency without hurting the railways and Mamata Banerjee can do likewise if she does not reverse some of the smart but not so face forward decisions taken by Lalu Prasad Yadav to enhance passenger revenues.<br /><br />She will also have to show leadership and she will have to make sure that the railways do not slip in to departmentalism and that the stretched targets set by Lalu are maintained. Already the railways have scaled back the 910 million tonne set by Lalu in the Interim Budget for freight loading to 875 million tonnes. In her previous stint as Railway Minister in October 1999 and March 2001, Mamata Banerjee left railway finances in a mess. Fully Rs 98 out of every Rs 100 earned, went into expenses despite unpaid interest on government’s preference capital; it was the worst operating ratio since 1951. This time one expects Mamata Bangerjee to do better.<br /><br /><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://bse-trading.blogspot.com/2009/07/indian-railway-budget-2009-2010.html">Railway Budget 2009</a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Indian Railway Budget 2009 Highlights</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087295777099278300.post-44622856176109000982009-06-26T01:38:00.000-07:002009-06-26T01:39:17.319-07:00Michael Jackson dead Videos<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lH5SO8cLpdw&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lH5SO8cLpdw&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />The pop star suffered cardiac arrest at his Holmby Hills mansion.

He was rushed to the hospital after collapsing in his rented Holmby Hills mansion around 12:20 p.m. Pacific Time. While rumors and speculation swirled around his condition, the predominant rumor was that he had died of a heart attack. His brother, Jermaine Jackson, made the announcement of his death came about 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time.<br /><br />At the height of his career, Michael Jackson was the most successful music star in the world. However, in recent years, his music had taken a back seat to his eccentricities and accusations of child molestation. He became more reclusive as time went by. He is reported to have been approximately $500 million in debt at the time of his death. His annual income was approximately $19 million per year from royalties and is said to have been worth approximately $1 Billion in assets. He was planning a comeback of sorts, scheduling a tour in the United Kingdom. Some suggest that the stress of his already frail physical condition, his debts and attempting to prepare for this comeback tour probably contributed to his death. There is also speculation that he might have been over medicated and that might have been a contributing factor to his death.<br /><br />All of these questions will hopefully be answered when the investigation and autopsy are completed. Jackson’s body was flown from the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, to the L.A. County Coroner’s Office late this afternoon. The Michael Jackson autopsy has been expedited and is scheduled for tomorrow morning<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 334px;" src="http://showstalker.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/michael-jackson-fans-6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 334px;" src="http://showstalker.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/michael-jackson-fans-4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 334px;" src="http://showstalker.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/michael-jackson-fans-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://showstalker.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/michael-jackson-fans-11.jpg" alt="" border="0" />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087295777099278300.post-34396291582130745462009-06-26T00:44:00.000-07:002009-06-26T00:46:02.660-07:00michael jackson died | michael jackson heart attack<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-family: georgia;">michael jackson died</span></span><br /><br />LOS ANGELES — <span style="font-weight: bold;">Michael Jackson</span>, the "King of Pop" who once moonwalked above the music world, died Thursday as he prepared for a comeback bid to vanquish nightmare years of sexual scandal and financial calamity. He was 50.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jackson died</span> at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.<br /><br />"It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known," his brother Jermaine said. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.<br /><br />Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.<br /><br />His 1982 album "Thriller" _ which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" _ is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide.<br /><br />At the time of his death, Jackson was rehearsing hard for what was to be his greatest comeback: He was scheduled for an unprecedented 50 shows at a London arena, with the first set for July 13.<br /><br />As word of his death spread, MTV switched its programming to play videos from Jackson's heyday. Radio stations began playing marathons of his hits. Hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital. In New York's Times Square, a low groan went up in the crowd when a screen flashed that Jackson had died, and people began relaying the news to friends by cell phone.<br /><br />"No joke. King of Pop is no more. Wow," Michael Harris, 36, of New York City, read from a text message a friend had sent him. "It's like when Kennedy was assassinated. I will always remember being in Times Square when Michael Jackson died."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087295777099278300.post-91372779763508682122009-06-24T06:36:00.000-07:002009-06-24T06:38:50.187-07:00Transformers Revenge of The Fallen Review<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 560px; height: 327px;" src="http://blogs.amctv.com/scifi-scanner/transformers_revenge-of-the-fallen.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Transformers revenge of the fallen review<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I love that they're called "Decepticons." Like The Core dubbing the ultra-rare element that can slice through diamonds "unobtainium," naming villainous robots "Decepticons" is a lovely bit of Saturday-morning-cartoon kitsch -- virtually perfect for a story about an alien race of "autobots" that transform back-and-forth between 200-foot-tall metal warriors and, for some reason, Earth cars. And it is practically begging for a brisk, breezy, candy-colored treat of a movie -- a summer flick that embraces the silliness, runs with it, makes us smile.<br /><br />At the risk of stating the obvious, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Michael Bay</span> is not the person to deliver such a movie. He wasn't the right person in 2007 when the original Transformers was released, and he's not the right person today. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is loud, lumbering and long, entirely unconcerned with telling a story or doing anything other than sustaining a din of metal clangs and explosions. I gather it's supposed to be "fun" -- "check your brain at the door," I keep hearing -- but if so it has the most warped conception of fun since Caligula.<br /><br />Bay is vilified as the baron of mindless big-budget action, but of course "big-budget" is not the problem. "Mindless" is closer. He is the unchecked id of Hollywood filmmaking, let loose with hundreds of millions of dollars to make things 'splode, but untempered by any conception of pacing, suspense or tension -- you know, the things that make action movies enjoyable. The term "mind-numbing" was invented for him, and you haven't seen "mind-numbing" until you've seen Revenge of the Fallen.<br /><br />I gather this franchise is a nostalgia trip for many people my age, and if that's all you seek, you may not be disappointed (though you could probably just as easily leave after thirty minutes). Revenge of the Fallen features all the Decepticon-on-Autobot action you could ask for. There's even some sort of super-Decepticon -- an ancient evil robot (though not, as best as I could tell, an actual Transformer) who wants to activate a machine buried in the Earth that would destroy the sun. Why? I think it has something to do with mining it for energy, though no one else seems particularly eager to do so. Somehow or other, Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and his hot girlfriend from the first movie (Megan Fox, whose hotness is mentioned at every opportunity) get involved and start roaming the globe looking for a way to stop the Decepticons. After a while, the movie turns into a sustained action set piece, and the significance of any particular explosion or robot smackdown becomes difficult to pin down.<br /><br />Revenge of the Fallen is two-and-a-half hours of top-shelf special effects deployed indiscriminately; a roaring, plotless, character-less mess that sees mainstream moviegoers as money-spending, barely sentient automatons. I want to emphasize the two and a half hours, because that running time seems downright criminal. It filled me with despair. At some point -- probably around 100 minutes in, though I didn't have a watch -- I became convinced that the movie would never end. It's not just that it felt long (though did it ever) but that there seemed to be no reason why it could not go on forever. Without a narrative shape, any specific ending point could only be arbitrary.<br /><br />A few things did jump out at me from the miasma of fireballs and noise. The movie is casually racist in a rather appalling way -- among other things, there's a duo of jive-talking "black" autobots who, the movie helpfully points out, "don't read much." I agree that Megan Fox is attractive, but Bay absolutely leers at her with his camera in a way that started to make me uncomfortable. And Bay's self-regard scales new heights, as a poster for Bad Boys II is prominently displayed on the wall of Sam's dorm and fills the screen on more than one occasion. As if any self-respecting college student would hang an enormous Bad Boys II poster in his room.<br /><br />But what's most offensive about Revenge of the Fallen is the boredom -- awful, escalating boredom that transcended mere indifference, and even annoyance. Critics blithely refer to movies as "painful" all the time, but this is the real deal. I see how Transformers could be charming, but in the hands of Michael Bay it is -- as much as any movie could ever be, I think -- torture.<br /><br /><br />source : http://blogs.amctv.com<br /></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
