You should visit this site:

The torrents don't work so great, try mirrors 2 or 3 for any of the downloads. I sometimes play this through my HT receiver in Dolby Pro Logic mode, which does a nice job of surrounding me in arcade ambiance.

Ah, that noise....you know, all the attract modes playing at once. I miss that ambient noise.
Buddy, if your point is "people have differences which are the cause of conflict", then you have no point at all. My point is simply that atheists don't exist as a group in the same way that people of common religious affiliations exist as groups. Therefore, atheists have never ganged up and killed en masse in the name of atheism.
Yeah, Christians were persecuted by Romans. Last I checked, the ancient Romans were not atheists.
My point is that calling religion the cause of historical conflicts and atrocities is as ridiculous as blaming atheism. The real world is extremely complicated and explaining disasters like genocide as being done "in the name of God" is more ridiculous than talking about atheists as a group.
Get it through your head. Atheists are not a group any more than people who dislike peanut butter are a group. That's why they are "insignificant." There is no "they" there.
Like Dawkins says, everyone is an atheist, it's just Christians have a hard time when people take it one god further.
Grouping people's common attributes is really all one can do, be it peanut butter preferences or philosophical beliefs. Look at how many people in history with a common dislike of peanut butter got together to kill peanut butter lovers. None. Then look at how many people in history with a common disbelief in god have gotten together to kill those who did, and vice versa.
My point has repeatedly been that religion or lack there of has not been the root cause of violence in history, but intolerance of different beliefs has been. Whether it is a common belief there is a god, or a common belief that there isn't, both have been abused by bad people in history to breed intolerance and kill other people.

I remember a funny cartoon in my university newspaper about this song... it ended with naked Alanis thanking random things.. "Thank you bagels, thank you monkeys." I remember getting a big LOL out of it at the time.

Welcome to my growing list of shitheads. I get really absorbed in movies and so the reason I haven't seen it yet is I was waiting for the right night when I could get properly absorbed in something a little smarter. I'm busy so those times are rare. Someone with Kubrick as their avatar should have more respect for that concept. So go fuck yourself, please.

You're welcome. The movie has been out for six months. I'm sure you'd be upset if someone ruined the end to Citizen Kane, too.

Can anyone explain how Clayton knew the Counsel for UNorth was behind his assassination attempt? And also that was a spoiler, just FYI.

Yes, but in a friendly way. I have posted stupid clips of young idiots playing with Movie Maker too:

I'm sorry, are you calling me a jerkoff for posting this?

OMFG I want to punch the kid in the face, with his stupid blase delivery. Way to post the result of some fifteen year-old's first experiment with Windows Movie Maker, jerkoff.
In reply to this comment by budzos:
I think you're right Sylvester. Episode 1 has the best use of sabers. The opening twenty minutes of this movie is also quite good, especially the very opening on the trade federation ship. The suckage starts with Jar Jar's first appearance, but the Gungan city and the Jedi's passage through the underwater core of Naboo are some classic Star Wars if you ask me. Things get truly shitty once Anakin shows up.
One thing I hate about the prequels is how every single character who shows up in eps 4-6 is somehow tied to the events of eps 1-3... worst offences being:
1. Darth Vader created C3PO
2. Yoda knows Chewbacca
3. Obi-Wan killed Boba Fett's dad

I see your point, but I still don't think the finale is a good way to introduce someone to this film.
In reply to this comment by therealblankman:
In my opinion, you're missing the point and, no offense, are being a bit elitist. Agreed- this film and other masterpieces of cinema should be seen on the silver screen, but like a lot of great art in an era of the mass consumption of populist media, it helps to have a gentle introduction by others who know better. Not everyone can attend film school, just like not everyone can afford to travel to Paris to visit the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa in person. I've been introduced to more than a few great and sometimes obscure films this way.
In reply to this comment by budzos:
I downvoted because this is a cinematic masterpiece and should never be presented as a Youtube clip. It offends me as a true lover of film. It's like looking at the Mona Lisa through a keyhole. I downvoted the last time someone else submitted it as well. I hadn't noticed your downvote, but thanks for caring so much.

I will change the embed if I can find another one.

When I click play I get a Party Poker pop-up and my browser is resized to maximum. Considering my resolution is 2560 x 1600, this is pretty annoying.
