BWAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Man the Neolithic must have been a bitch for getting one's freak on. The sights. The smells. The lack of razors and soap. The carved rock porn.:D
 
Yup, feminists like to refer to this as a fertility symbol, a pregnant woman. That does not look like any pregnant woman I have ever seen, and I'm a father and a grandfather. That is a fat cow of the type you see at McDonald's, and she was probably worshipped as a symbol of physical prosperity in a prehistoric time when all other women were starving to death.

Did you read the information at the link I posted?

What feminists "say" is generally politicized, and therefore intellectually unimportant. But there is a body of intelligent discourse on the Venuses.
 
Yes, I've read that information long before you ever posted it. And I will say again, that is not a pregnant woman, that is a fattened cow with a basket over her head...her feet are missing deliberately, and that shows up in other of these "Venus" or "goddess" figurines from the area of Austria and Turkey. That "Venus" terminology was given by anthropologists as a sexist joke because they couldn't think of anything better.

Edit: I know a few new-age feminists who will attribute all kinds of BS to this figurine, claiming it to be the true feminine figure (because it justifies their own obesity); at the same time disregarding the more "modern" female goddesses such as the Sumerian Astarte or Inanna or the Egyptian Isis.

anybody remember the movie 13th warrior?
 
Michael Crichton did a professional job of the book. Research into three different cultures. Basing it all on that classic story.

Movies are for the masses. If it's eye-catching, they don't care if it's accurate or meaningful.
 
Congo seemed like a potboiler of a book. The movie was doomed.

Even the Jurassic Park movies, as much as I love the dinos, show the humans at their most urbanized-helpless. Stupid people. Or maybe that's how people really are, and I overestimate the species' potential. :)
 
It certainly was not Crichton's finest moment. But the movie was an abomination.

The Dinosaurs in jurasshashadit park did seem to be smarter than the people. Helpless running screaming meatbags. . . I was rooting for the dinosaurs.
The Books were pretty good though.
 
In a way, the Jurassic Park books were written as the basis of movies, specifically to be movie classics. Next to those books on my shelf I have another, very similar but written to be fun: Dinosaur Summer by Greg Bear. Unfortunately, it's more likely to turn into a Disney cartoon than a decent movie, but I enjoyed the book.
 
I just looked up that one, sounds like a decent plot. Maybe I will check it out.

I figure Crichton knows ahead of time which books are destined for film.

Andromeda Strain
Congo
Sphere
Eaters of the dead
________ whatever I'm forgetting.

I'm a big fan of the books, but most of them haven't translated well to movies.
 
The 13th Warrior, as cheesy and "made for the masses" as it is, is still one of the great brainless sit back and relax movies. :) I love that flick, as stupid as it is. Of course, I also love Army of Darkness, so maybe I just like stupid movies.....

I'll agree that his books don't translate to film worth a darn. I liked the intro to his second Jurassic Park book, something along the lines of "I know the movie and my book were different, but I'm going to go with the movie ending because it's better," or something like that. What a sell out. I liked David Morrell's intro to Rambo better. In the origional book First Blood, John Rambo dies at the end. At least he's honest, his intro went something like "Well, they offered me a whole lot of money, so lets all pretend ok?"

I've always liked the Evil Deads #1 and 1B and Army of Darkness. I still call whatever rifle or shotgun I may have with me my "Boomstick".

Wife: Why do you call them Evil Dead 1 and Evil Dead 1B.
Me: Watch this.
Wife: *watched* Ok?...
Me: Now watch this.
Wife: You put the same one in.
Me: Exactly.

I was very disappointed the first time I saw The 13th Warrior, but it's a movie I'll watch again every now and then which I can't say about a lot of movies. They did some nice things in that movie that you don't see that often. A pity they didn't do a little better job on the whole project.
