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.

Fantasia/2000 (1999)

IMDB rating: 7.20

Plot: In this update of Disney’s masterpiece film mixture of animation and music, new interpretations of great works of music are presented. It begins with an abstract battle of light and darkness set to the music of Beethoveen’s Fifth Symphony. Then we see the adventures of a Humpback Whale calf and his pod set to “The Pines of Rome.” Next is the humourous story of several lives in 1930’s New York City, scored with “Rhapsody in Blue.” Following is a musical telling of the fairy tale, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” set to Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Then a goofy Flamingo causes havoc in his flock with his yo-yo to the tune of the finale of “Carnival of the Animals.” This is followed by the classic sequence from the original film, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” starring Mickey Mouse and followed by “Pomp and Circumstance” starring Donald Duck as a harried assistant to Noah on his Ark. Finally, we see the awesome tale of the life, death and renewal of a forest in a sequence featuring the composition, “The Firebird.”

In Fantasia (2000) can you answer these questions for me?
Hi, I need the answer to these questions for band:

1) list 5 song titles and 3 or more characteristics for each.

2) Name and describe at least two settings. Write three descriptions for each setting.

3) List 7 or more main events in order as they happen in the movie.

4) Describe 3 problems/conflicts from the movie and explain how they were resolved.

Thanks in advance and also, if you’d like to know, I need this for band because we are watching Fantasia 2000 and we have to do this to show participation. Thanks and have a nice day!


Why don’t you go watch the movie and answer the questions for yourself? If you want to learn anything about movies you can’t just ask people for your answer.

Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman
Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman (2006)

IMDB rating: 8.00

Plot: In 1938, two aspiring comic strip talents, Jerry Siegal and Joe Shuster, published a character that would create a new genre of fantasy, Superman, the first superhero. This film explores the creation of the character and his subsequent evolution over the decades through various media. With various interviews of noted creative luminaries, the film shows how the character has adapted to the times and bounced back from times when he felt irrelevant to always regain his prominence as one of the great heroes of popular culture.

Directors: Burns Kevin

Actors: Ackerman Forrest J,Adler Gilbert,Bender Stephan,Brando Marlon,Dean Cain,Carlin Mike,Christopher Gerard,Cooper Jackie,Didio Dan,Donner Richard,Dougherty Michael,Fishler Stephen,Gough Alfred,Grossman Gary H.,Hamill Mark,Documentary,History,

In the 'Superman' documentary, all living characters of the genre are interviewed except Tom Welling. Why?
In the documentary, "Look, up in the sky!: The amazing story of Superman", all living characters involved with the genre are interviewed except Tom Welling - who is the star of TV’s hit show, ‘Smallville’. Tom Welling has been a major contribution to the genre, and is a major celebrity still living. Why was he not involved? Did he refuse, or was he ignored? Or did other schedules conflict?


that is a pretty glaring omission. I haven’t saw it. was this the same show I saw on a&e a few months ago narrated by kevin spacey? it seems like there were 2 shows like that, one on a&e the other on discovery channel and I’m pretty sure I saw tom welling in one of them.
surely he wouldn’t refuse,and it wouldn’t take that long to get some clips so schedule conflict should be out. maybe he wasn’t because technically he isn’t superman yet.
but I’m sure I have saw him on some superman/superhero doc where he was talking about meeting christoper reeve in that one episode and his(tom’s) part in the grand scheme of things.
I’ll have to rent it

He decides to stay with his girlfriend Julia (Suzy Kendall) and help the police in the investigation, while the serial killer stalks Julia and him.

Where can I find DVD's or VHS's of quasi -classic French and Italian films of the 60's and 70's?
There were dozens of endeariing moves during the 60’s and 70’s such as "Dear Detective," "Come Have Some Coffee with Us" and "What Now My Love" that are nowhere to be found. There are also some strange works like "Investigation of a Citizien Above Suspicion" and "Bird with the Crystal Plumage" that have disappeared in the U.S. (as far as I can determine).
Many of the films in this category are from noted directors, feature top performers and extraordinary soundtracks. There are even several Academy Award contenders, yet they are unknown and unavailable here.
Can anyone suggest a source or vendor?


In the UK there is Moviemail, which stocks vast numbers of this type of film.

www.moviemail-online.co.uk

Be warned though, they are often region 2 (or sometimes region 0). NTSC region 1 are not available except in very rare cases. Why? Apparently because your tastes are so rare in the USA it isn’t worthwhile distributing them. So get a multi-region DVD player.

I also noted that you gave all the titles in English. Most of these will be French or Italian titled, with English sub-titles (only rarely an alternate English sound track). Why? See above.

But if like us you really do love these movies, then all this won’t matter.

Enjoy.

Get a sense of humor. If you don’t like it, then tell them to stop.

You’re neither, you have a low self-esteem and playing some sports or any social activities will help boost yourself up. Don’t worry about what they say.

When they make fun of you try making fun of them sometimes.. if they are not playing with ya (dont want you to open up) and want to start a fight. then beat the living $h!t out of them.
Wesley | Feb 08, 2010


maybe you should talk to them.. it doesnt have to be like all your friends at once you could just say something to one of them and maybe theyll pass it on? but really you cant dwell on what they say and if it bothers you maybe they arent your real friends
whats her face | Feb 08, 2010


You are stupid, not retarded. It’s possible to be a good person without being a victim. Try doing that and don’t worry so much about what other people think. Being a good person will make you feel good and that’s pretty important. Hope this helps!
Shelby | Feb 08, 2010


Yeah it’s time to cowboy up and grow a pair.

Stick up for yourself and get a baseball bat, close your eyes and start swinging and if one of your friends gets hit oh well it’s their fault they shouldn’t of been standing in front of a retard swinging a bat with his eyes closed
??? | Feb 08, 2010


No there making fun of you too keep you down in life, you need too put your elbow straight too your friends temple when he’s not looking then stamp all over his testicles so he can feel your pain.
bronson | Feb 08, 2010


all u need to do is get yourself some new friends.. i don’t think you’re retarded nor stupid.. but i think u r friends are…
it's me.. | Feb 08, 2010


I wouldn’t say it’s time for vengeance…
Are they just gently mocking you? You might just be oversensitive which means it’d probably be good to try and develop a thicker skin. If you can’t do that, just let your friends know that it bugs you when they do that and nicely ask them to stop. It doesn’t sound like they’re deliberately trying to "victimize" you, but rather just ribbing you good-naturedly and not realizing that it’s getting to you.

Everybody gets made fun of at some point. You can’t really control what others say. What you can control is how you react to it.
Simon | Feb 08, 2010


Its ok. Its normal. Just tell your friends that its not ok to do that. Also if your eighteen you need to stick up for yourself. Its a tough world out there and you don’t want anyone to step all over you. I’m sorry but you need to man up. Your not a kid anymore. Don’t take this offensive ok. I’m not trying to put you down you just need to be more aggressive. Take a boxing class or something and take your anger out. Maybe that will help. Good luck:)
april | Feb 08, 2010


you’re not retarded. they do this to you because you don’t stick up for your self, next time they make a joke about you, you should laugh with them it will make them feel like they are not getting a reaction out of you. if this doesn’t help maybe you should talk to them about how it makes you feel, i know that might be a "girl" thing to do, but it will probably make things better. If this doesn’t help then i think it may be time to get new friends.
brexxbre | Feb 08, 2010


it just means ur sensible and sensitive. ok? ur childhood may have not been like a hyper over active mean kid like ur friends. and some guys like u maybe end up having really good bright futures. so if ur annoyed at them find someone more like u and dont listen to the mean comments cos they just stop u and make u doubt. oh and also stand up for urself dont let freaks bring u down:D
xxAemoxx | Feb 08, 2010


Well honestly you should talk to your Friends and them you don’t appreciate what there doing, if they don’t Stop than well i guess there not your real friends. I went through the same stuff and still do sometimes when i meet new people and im only 19. & by the way your not stupid or retarded. Theres no such thing as a man, its just what people think guys should be, Men do have feelings also. My brothers were the same, Now there just warm hearted and Friendly to everyone. Sometimes they do cry but not in front of friends. Doing that will Just make them say more stuff. Its ok to Cry and be sad sometimes :) Newmomma | Feb 08, 2010


ur both!! well theyre not trying to hurt.. i have lots of friends and we make fun each other.. i mean each other alot. but it mean nothing to us.. we boys are like that u know. in a group of boys there’s always a clown.. just talk back. express ur feelings too.. like what they do. just we boys are like that.

Well, nevertheless.. Just laugh along anyway.

And you "act like a girl instead of a man", poo you. if you want to do that, say that you’re "acting more like a little child than anything more".

You’re not retarded, it’s silly to ask that with this question thing.
You’re just low-selfesteem-Boy.

I learnt to laugh along to the height jokes long ago (when I was 13 turning 14), i’m 5ft 3. Just learn to laugh along, and talk more in general and in socially with the people you hang out with.

pengiw | Feb 08, 2010


What you are expressing has nothing to do with intelligence, and everything to do with social skills. The two are not as closely related as people think.

You also aren’t alone; lots of adults have difficult times with social skills, and deflecting criticism or mockery. And lots of adults are frustrated by their inability to respond appropriately when put on the spot that way.

If you’re really concerned about it- and it sounds as though you’ve had about enough- you need to start by speaking to someone who is trained in assessing social limitations, so that you can learn where your weaknesses actually are, and what would be a good way to involve your strengths in shoring those up.

It’s very important that you recognise that this is not an inherent defect in yourself. Everyone has skills and liabilities. Some people are good at math, others at science, some people are gifted social interactors, and others (like me) have to remember basic rules of listening and feedback in order to keep conversations flowing. You happen to have friends who are trying a method of communication which bothers you, and you don’t have a handy method to use to change how they’re doing it or communicate openly so that they don’t need to.

While you’re working on these skills, and on slowly getting the hang of interpreting why they do this and how to respond best, you need to be honest with your friends. "Hey, you know I hate this, I’m so bad at coming up with snappy answers! I’ll tell you what, why don’t we pick on you for a little while, and let me think over what to say. It’s no fair picking on the guy with the lowest social skills!" Even referencing your challenges is still communication. They’ll at least get an answer from you, a genuine response.

I realise that just posting links on active listening isn’t going to make you comfortable overnight. It’s going to take a little while to get to the bottom of your problems, and it’s going to take you time to learn more about what areas you’re missing cues in. The teasing doesn’t start from nowhere, so ask yourself, How do these conversations start?

When someone says something to you, they’re asking for something in response. What are they asking of you? Usually this isn’t just "a funny answer," but "some validation of friendship by being willing to play." Sometimes, just hanging your head and saying, "Aww, I know." is enough, other times, a gentle joke like, "I AM THE BEST AT SPELLING, though!!!" can help defuse things.

Meanwhile, ask yourself what validation YOU want that you aren’t getting. Clearly, being taken down all the time is taking its toll. What do you do that is worthwhile? It isn’t enough to tell you to go get some self-esteem- that can only be gotten through making progress on something that matters to you. So what do you do that matters? Where do you feel all right? What is it that really matters in your world, and how do you draw friends into that area of your life, to see you as you really are?

Are there areas of your life where pushing for respect is not a problem? If not, how can you begin something worthwhile that will prove to YOU who you are? This isn’t about them. No vengeance will help. It will only make things worse; what you need is to be at work bridging the gaps between who you feel like, and who you are genuinely capable of being, in terms of good in the world. I usually tell people to get out there and volunteer- it puts you instantly in the presence of people who respect you for what you’re doing, and it feels great to make a difference.

I feel like some TV Doctors feel in that "you teach people how to treat you" and by just letting it go all the time, you’re teaching them it’s okay to treat you like this.

That TV Doc wouldn’t say this, but it might be time to get up in some body’s face this time. Not to somebody smaller than you and not necessarily to somebody bigger than you. Someone your size would be perfect to make an example out of.

I just started a new job. Each time someone new trains me, they say this about someone, and that about someone; but for some reason they all seem to pick on this one guy who (to me) is perfectly normal, tries real hard, isn’t mean, comes to work on time, etc. I can’t figure it out! I really hope they are not doing the same to me.

It’s kinda like backing a badger into a corner. Badgers are nice til they have no where to go, then they lash out, simply defending themselves.

Let someone start getting sarcastic with me (I’m a fairly small guy). I have had my face punched only a couple times in 34 years, but not nearly as many times as I have stood up for myself not been punched at all. Shoving most likely happens as most people don’t really want to fight.

Fighting can lead to a "bad" reputation or whatever… but real people, not in this fake little computer world (where anyone can talk smack and be a coward) but real people wont mess around with you because you teach them not to. i tell people who treat me with sarcasm that i don’t really understand sarcasm. It’s not how I treat you so please don’t treat me this way. That’s fair right?

Be brave
