Future weapons and warfare

Today America has satellites which can track and eliminate enemy missiles. With lasers! Yet, America and the UN spend millions of dollars on military resources like soldiers, weapons and tanks.

Why do they not simply turn the lasers downward and eliminate the enemy bases or enemy troops. They could also just send up some new satellites with small missiles or machine guns to eliminate the enemy. Then soldier could tag the enemy with laser markers and then signal the satellites to attack.

This would make future wars and battles go over quickly and safely (for the "good guys"). The enemy would attack but destroyed before they could make any real damage.

If they put a lot of resources into researching these types of satellites and weapons they would probably save a lot of money in the long run. It would also be a way to scare people who want to attack USA and her allies. In the future there would not be as many wars because people would not dare to go to war with America & Co.

The Shining: Review

Okay, so I have just watched The Shining. It has taken me some time to get around to do this but now I did.
The plot of the movie is basically:

A man, Jack, takes a job as the caretaker of a hotel in the mountain over the winter. He, his wife and their son moves in at the hotel. The boy can, for some reason, communicate telekinetically with other people who have the gift (the shining).
After a month's time Jack starts to get a bit crazy. He is trying to write a book and his annoying wife keeps interrupting him. When Jack makes his way to the bar and receives a drink, which is all in his head btw. When he later returns to the bar he meets a previous caretaker, who went crazy and chopped his family into little pieces with an axe. He tells Jack to "correct"(kill) his family. Then Jack hunts his kid with an axe into the giant labyrinth in the yard. The boy out smarts Jack and escapes the labyrinth and leaves with his mother in a snow cat. Jack gets lost in the labyrinth and freezes to death.

Notably bad things:

1. The wife.
   They have casted an extremely ugly (read: gross) woman to play the wife. She ruins the experience of what could have been a great movie and almost turns it into garbage
   
2. Tony
   The boy have an imaginary friend called Tony who lives in his mouth. WTF? When this friend talks the boy looks at his finger which Tony apparently talks through. FAIL. It looks stupid.
   
3. The ending
   In the end we see a photograph of a ball in 1921 where Jack is in the front of the picture.
   
   Maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't get it. Is it supposed to show that Jack is in fact a ghost from '21 or is it a magic picture of all the caretakers, who have gone mad after 1921? I don't know.
   

Notably good things:

1. Jack Nicholson
   He is awesome in this movie. He has that evil/creepy look that the character needs to make his point.
   
2. Jack's reaction to the boy's bruised neck
   When his wife finds the boy with a bruised neck she accuses Jack of having done it.
   Jack just looks at her like he doesn't understand and just doesn't give a tine rat's ass.
   
3. The first bar scene
   His wife tells Jack about a crazy woman the boy had seen and Jack has the greatest response ever: "Are you out of your fucking mind?"
4. The blood
   The boy keeps seeing visions of blood coming around a corner and down a hallway. It looks great and I love it.
   

I wish someone would make a spoof of this movie where, when the boy sees the two girls he would just run them over on his tricycle an yell: "Get out of the way bitches!" or something like that. I would watch that movie!

If I had made the movie I would only change like one thing: The actress playing the wife; she is ugly and she can't act and it is because of her people say you shouldn't run with a knife in your hand.
When she runs her arms are swinging a lot and she should have stabbed herself with that knife many times.
 
The Simpsons have made a great parody of the movie, where they have included all the important things:

Danish Radio Stations SUCK

Here in Denmark there are no good radio stations for people who, like me, want to listen to rock. All the stations play pop or techno! This means that you have to either turn to your own music or search the web for stations from other countries.

After many years of just listening to my own music I bought a great little box called a ROKU SoundBridge which you can use to play music from your PC’s music library wirelessly. Now, this box had a function which would allow it to receive internet radio stations. I searched the Roku Radio website for good rock/metal stations and found an American radio station from Seattle called KISW, which had an online player.

This station has really impressed me. I thought it was just going to be another bad radio station which would play some soft rock songs like the standard Danish radio station but it turned out to play great music. It plays everything from old school rock to rock songs by new artists. And this is just the music I like; it’s Metallica, Alice in Chains, Disturbed and all that kind of music. They also have some great programs like The Mensroom, where four guys talk about the news and what they think about it (funny as hell) and the Hookup, where you call in and request a song which start with the letter that the last song played ended with. This is a great way to incorporate the listeners and the Danish radio stations could learn something here!

Whenever I have friends over and we play Playstation 3 I put on the radio station in the background and they all think it is a great station!

It can definitely be recommended for people who like rock which is harder and heavier than the kind they play on the pop rock radio stations in Denmark!
