Facts about soldiers in the Vietnam war: More than 3 million Americans served in Vietnam.

Anne, I am very lucky to have had him in my life. And I strongly believe that we all need to educate ourselves more about the Vietnam war and all of our wars (myself included - I'm not always as good at this as I should be). Brushing it under the rug doesn't help us learn from our accomplishments or mistakes. And while I may not support a particular war, I will always support every soldier and be grateful for the sacrifices that they make for us all.

Colour photography in Pre-Revolutionary Russia - http://eljenmajusmasodika.blogspot.com/2009...

"Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii was a chemist turned photographer ahead of his time who undertook an ambitious photographic survey of the Russian Empire for Tsar Nicholas II. Between 1909 and 1915, he completed tours of eleven regions, traveling in a specially equipped train carriage which had been provided by the Ministry of Transportation. What made this project remarkable was his use of an innovative technique for taking photographs in full and extremely vivid colour. He was able to capture colour by using a camera that exposed one oblong glass plate three times in rapid succession through three different colour filters: blue, green, and red. To view his images, he printed positive glass slides of his negatives and projected them through a triple lens magic lantern. The images were projected through the three lenses and, with the use of colour filters, superimposed in full colour on to a screen."

I feel guilty that I feel this way, but color really helps me relate better to people of that period. I was just watching that link to color film footage of London in 1927 and felt the same way. There's something that makes it so much more real and empathizable even though other things you'd think would be barriers (strange hairstyles, clothing) are still there.

It's surprising that he was able to take so many good photos of people. That's almost impossible to do with multiple exposures.

You can see the motion in the shot he took of the kids on the hillside.
- Spidra Webster
Spidra: yes, the shot of kids on the hillside (http://www.loc.gov/exhibit...) appears to be the only one that isn't posed.
- Gabe
I know what you mean, Spidra. Somehow the detail of color make the people more real and their way of life somehow more relevant.

Thanks, Ha3rvey. @ffcode, I have accounts on several services which I guess you could call photoblogs (Tumblr, Flickr perhaps?, Posterous), but I haven't shared any artwork on them yet. Are you suggesting that I use one of those services? Is there a preferred one to use? @Nicholas, the original is part of my sketchbook and is very small-scale (only about the size of a 3x5" index card). I might try to redraw it on a larger scale and see if I can still capture the mood of the picture. Might that work?
- Kamilah Gill
i think wordpress' AutoFocus theme would be great, can host your site on my server if you need ;) you are a gifted artist

I wouldn't mind doing that. Is there an easy way for me to get started with it? (Also, Nicholas, can you see my answer?)
- Kamilah Gill
Yeah you can have a free blog at wordpress/blogger/posterous/tumblr or posting these works at flickr and there are a whole lot of free services for hosting your works and if you would like to have your own domain then you would have to buy it,which then can be hosted free on blogger etc
- ffcode
Kamilah: That would work marvelously! Only if you have the desire / time, you can always email me too: niczak@gmail.com. Anyway just keep on drawing as you are AMAZING and bring much joy to peoples lives :)

New topic (4/29, 11:45am): Have you ever broken a limb? If so, when and how?
- Stephen Mack
Yes, my left arm, at age 10, while tight rope walking the parallel bars at the playground behind my grandparents house. I went back and forth 10 times before falling on my arm. AND it was my grandfather's birthday. Also fractured my shoulder blade, not sure that really counts as a limb though. (edit - didn't break the shoulder blade, I must have been having a brain fart moment)
- Rachel Lea Fox
Never broken, but I did chip a chunk of bone off of my elbow, to me that counts!
- Georgia Diehl
Georgia, how did you do that?
- Stephen Mack
Gymnastics. I fell forward off of the uneven bars and put my arms out to catch myself. In doing so I dislocated my left elbow, and it chipped the bone when it was relocating itself... OUCH!
- Georgia Diehl
eeek, sounds painful. I broke three fingers in my right hand playing basketball in college, but otherwise have not broken any bones.
- Stephen Mack
This lame in comparison. I broke my toe jumping off the top bunk of my bunk bed when I was 7 or so. The bad part was my parents didn't believe me for a couple of days. The worst part, all the doctor did was tape it to the toe next to it and I was fine.

Sorry to change subject, but who's watching wolverine this weekend?

I saw it on Sunday. Awful, just awful. I'll write a review for my blog, but I had low expectations that were not met. Bad special effects, bad story, bad acting -- this movie fizzled on every level for me.

So, the question is: Was Wolverine worse than X-Men 3? Now *that* was a bad movie. :)
- Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
I liked Xmen three.
- Dario Gomez
I didn't think X-Men 3 was very good. But I think Wolverine is far worse. On the 0-100 scale, X-Men 3 I'd give like a 38 or so, and Wolverine a 23.
- Stephen Mack
Wolverine was ok to me. Not great, but entertaining....
- Georgia Diehl
so how many people have already lost the summer blockbuster competition?
- Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
No one yet! It could all go downhill from here...
- Stephen Mack
I already lost. Wolverine will not be rated well. :( Oh well next year. Wolverine was a good action flick with the required elements to try to explain what happened to wolverine. So I agree with Georgia's statement, not great but entertaining.
- Dario Gomez
I'll be seeing Star Trek this weekend with my parents. I have to say, of all the upcoming summer releases, this is the one I'm most looking forward to.
- Stephen Mack
YAY! I want to go this weekend as well!
- Georgia Diehl
Was glad to take my parents to see it, definitely enjoyed it a lot. Despite some plot quibbles (and what would a trek movie be without those?), it's an extremely well-made and likable movie with a charismatic cast and plenty of summer popcorn thrills.
- Stephen Mack
Agreed! I'm not a Star Trek person, and I really enjoyed the movie. It's just a good summer action film!

Dario, just go see it! Rachel, I really was disappointed in Wolverine, but it has its moments. Set your expectations low -- no, lower -- no, lower than that. A bit lower. Not THAT low! There. Right there.

Georgia, it has 51% positive reviews on RottenTomatoes, so, no, sadly it doesn't look to be very good. Ken, I hear you on that. It is a bit annoying. But for science, I will soldier on to make this the longest thread in FF history (no matter how long it takes).

So, did anyone see Angels & Demons?
- Stephen Mack
Seriously? After the DaVinci Code, why would I? DaVinci was even bad by my "airplane movie" standards, which are pretty low.
- Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
I thought DaVinci was passable. Tom Hanks is usually watchable, and there was interesting scenery if nothing else. I'm very surprised that Angels & Demons beat Star Trek last weekend (http://www.the-numbers.com/charts..., $46 million to $43 million).
- Stephen Mack
Woah, new Terminator only got 31% on Rotten Tomatoes? (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m...) I knew it'd wouldn't score high, but didn't expect it to be THAT low. I'll see it tonight anyway though...

Good question! Anyone going to see UP this week? Maybe I should switch topics. Of the summer blockbusters, so far I've seen Wolverine, Star Trek, and Terminator, but not Angels & Demons (3 for 4). I give Star Trek a 4/5, Termination a 3.5/5, and Wolverine a 2/5.

It would be great if this were at the Pruneyard's Diaper Days/Nights. Then I could try to take the kid(s). Check http://www.cameracinemas.com/diaper... Last week was Star Trek.
- Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
How do you like the Diaper showings? Is it possible to really watch the movie?
- Stephen Mack
It depends on the movie and the crowd. Sometimes it works, and other times not. We went to see Horton Hears a Who there, and it was a bit chaotic, because it caters to kids, so there were lots of toddlers there. It could be said that it's a livingroom experience, (lights on, kids talking) so it's not a huge win over just Netflix, but I think it's good practice for the kids to go to a real theater. You should give it a try and report back. :)

Pixar's Up grabs 98% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, beating Star Trek's 95%! http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m... -- wow, some amazing reviews there. I didn't expect it to score this well with critics. Why do I ever doubt you, Pixar.

No, this thread will never ever die, sorry. It will take its slow but sure way to infinity. In 2086, when FriendFeed runs in our brains, it'll still get bumps for historical interest.

So what movie is a MUST see for this summer?
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
So far, UP and Star Trek are tied for me as must-sees.
- Stephen Mack
Yeah, I'll second that, Stephen.

Doesn't look good for Year One: 20% on RT. (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m...) -- "Has neither wit nor wisdom nor charm nor beauty." -- Stephen Wittier

Is our attempt at longest thread ever dead?
- Dario Gomez
No, I just wanted to see if anyone else would bump it :) It'll never die.
- Stephen Mack
So what's the status of this thread with the news that Facebook will be taking over the joint?
- Dario Gomez
This thread will still be the longest thread ever. Guaranteed. Will never stop. Never stop. And with the new "comment at the bottom" link, it's easier to use than ever.
- Stephen Mack
GI Joe. Worth it, or does it Destro-y even more Saturday morning cartoons?
- Neal Krummell
Neal -- I'm gonna pass on GI Joe. If the RT reviews were higher, I might have checked it out. But for now I'm waiting for District 9 and Inglourious Basterds.

OK, wrapping up summer movies (http://www.zeigen.com/blog...). Now it's time for Fall TV (http://www.zeigen.com/blog...). Anyone watch Leno last night? What did you think?
- Stephen Mack
I thought it was interesting. I don't hate him like a lot of people on FF seem to. But I will not be spending much time watching either. The new set is amazing. It did seem to go by quickly, and the 2 chair/no desk setup makes it a lot more intimate...just in time for Leno to ask Kanye about what his dead mom thinks of him interupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, watch Kanye flounder for words, then see him immediately go get gangsta rap on stage. What's not to like?
- Josh Haley
Surprised this thread is still going - maybe it really us the longest thread...
- Rich
Rich, it's not there yet (with only 160 comments) -- some threads here on FF in the last 30 days have almost 1k comments. But I won't let it die, never.
- Stephen Mack
It just needs to be the longest lasting thread right?
- Dario Gomez
Dario, I think we decided at the beginning it had to have the most comments. If it's just oldest-continuously bumped thread, then someone could bump an older thread and snatch victory away from us.
- Stephen Mack
I think Leno was a bore the other night....even with Kanye on it! I think Leno is going to be the bottom of the barrel in TV ratings for the 10pm time slot.

He doesn't have to do well to make money for the network, though, given how cheap his show is to make compared to, say, an episode of Law & Order.
