feel that fate is working hard. I hope it is not just hardly working.
I hope to dicover fate soon. Thanks for a great movie-"Sleepless in

Star Trek - The Next Generation
.... Captain Shaq claimed that he was defecting in order
to prevent intergalactic war. He told us that the Romulan Empire has plans for
an abominable new weapon for use against the Federation and any others who might
dare to resist total domination of the Romulans. The weapon, called the
Metagenic Device, would be launched from orbit to any planet and release a
deadly virus throughout the planet's atmosphere. The virus would then quickly
infect all forms of life and cause fatal mutations in the DNA of its victims.
Within twenty-four hours, all life would cease. Within thirty-six hours, the
virus itself would break down becoming .....

Star Wars: An Intergalactic Joyride
.... Buck Rogers comics and serials, plus such related but less
expected sources as the western, the pirate melodrama, the aerial combat
melodrama and the samurai epic. The movie's irresistible stylistic charm
derives from the fact that Lucas can draw upon a variety of action-movie
sources with unfailing deftness and humor. He is in superlative command of his
own movie-nurtured fantasy life. Gary Arnold, Washington Post Staff Writer
Mr. Rothstein along the same lines as Mr. Arnold, mentions that Śthe plot line
of Star Wars follows the mythic archetechture outlined by Joseph Campbell in his
study of myth, "The Hero with a Thousand Fac .....

Stranger On A Train
.... that the story was going towards. Throughout the
rest of the introduction, we are introduced to the rest of the important
characters.
The first plot point, as expected, takes place when Bruno murders the
protagonist's wife. After doing so, he expects the protagonist to do his part of
the plan, who refuses Bruno's offer because they never had planned it. The
protagonist's identity is threatened because he's accused of a crime which he
never committed. We could also see the presence of oedipus complex: Bruno's
hatred towards his father since his childhood.
The object of the protagonist's and the camera's look was usual .....

Powder: Questions
.... understood his characteristics and
understood why the boys hated him It was fear!
3. I respect Jeremy's caring. Like Christ himself, he wouldn't fight or use any
sort of violence to resolve problems. Jeremy would speak his words of wisdom, or
use his divine powers of mental stability and force to express a point. He would,
without hurting anyone, prove a point. This characteristic made us create a
field of empathy for the boy.
4. Jeremy showed his love and compassion and caring for other people and
creatures in a few instances in the movie. The most popular scene expressed
caring for a creature. A creature, in the shape of a defe .....

Talk Show Trash
.... City on many occasions. Now my
question is that is any of this even necessary for people to watch, or the
embarrassment of the individuals and those mentioned in the show.
The next trash candidate would definitely be Jerry Springer, who tries
so very hard at the end of his show to put real-life meaning to the topics of
his show in “Springer's thought of the Day.” Topic this time is “pssst.. I have
a secret to tell you.” During the duration of this show topics ranged from a
forty year old women having an affair with an eighteen year old boy. After the
women told her husband and him almost breaking down crying, they then brought .....

Taoism In Star Trek: Action Versus Inaction
.... world of the senses to decide her action.
Everything the crew of the enterprise tried to do was based on
overpowering the trap. "More energy, faster adjustments. But that's exactly what
we can't do because that's what we're supposed to do."(Star Trek La Forge) All
of the attempts to overcome the trap were based on action, trying to do
something about the problem. The Tao teaches us to "Stop thinking and end your
problems." The answer to all things surrounds us; but cannot be grasped by the
physical senses. The trap was symbolic of life; no action will bring the desired
end; why worry about what we do or do not do? The end wi .....

Julius Caesar: Brutus An Honor Man
.... romans. If the conspirators
don't bind together, then each man will go his own way, become a weakling,
and die when it suits the tyrants caprice. Brutus is advocates peace,
freedom and liberty, for all romans, which shows that Brutus is an
altruistic as well as an honorable man. Brutus also had a compassion for
Caesar when he had killed Caesar. "If then that a friend demand why Brutus
rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but
that I loved Rome more" (Shakespeare 421). Brutus had honored Caesar but
Brutus felt that Caesar was to ambitious. Brutus also felt that Caesar made
the romans as slaves. There .....

Television Censorship
.... in "a sincere and honest book" did not make
the book "dirty." Since the 1950s many obscenity cases involving books,
magazines, and film have been brought before the Supreme Court. In the cases
during the 1970s the court ruled that laws against obscenity must be limited "
to works which, taken as a whole, appeal to the prurient interest in sex; which
portray sexual conduct in a patently offensive way; and which, taken as a whole,
do not have serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." The
Court has further held that obscenity should be determined by applying
"contemporary community standards" rather than nati .....

Television And The Internet
.... various internet newsgroups devoted to specific television shows. The most
relevant responses are attached as an appendix at the end of this paper.
I will first briefly define the terms that I will use to avoid any
ambiguities. When I refer to the internet, I refer to the vast encyclopedia of
information presented through a graphical interface as pages, or web sites.
Newsgroups refer to a different aspect of the world-wide web. They consist of
over ten thousand separate and specific forums or centers where people post
comments or remarks and read other's replies or comments. Each newsgroup is
devoted to a different theme. For ex .....

Television, What A Waste Of Timme
.... arguments are
one-sided. With TV, you no longer create your own ideas; you are told them.
Television has a great impact on the health of America. The seductive topics
and biased broadcasts shows daily across America are luring more and more people
to the confines of their living room couch for a greater amount of time.
Inactivity and overeating are a common result of this decision made by adults
and kids alike. Perhaps this is the reason why America is one of the fattest
countries in the world.
Television is slowly and subliminally taking its toll on America. It is
stealing all of the things that are most precious to us--our .....

Television And Commercialism
.... little girls who become subjected to her unrealistic
image.
Most often in television there is no depth beyond the surface, what you
see is what you get. This is very prominent in children' s television, where
without the special effects in action- adventure shows, all that is left are
shows that lack enthusiasm. For example, many children's programs are alike.
They often involve very innocent, sweet, high-voiced creatures that live in
happy land. They are threatened by bad people who capture one of the happy
creatures. However they are rescued on the end and everyone lives happily ever
after. In response the viewer experienc .....
