November 9, 2014 at 9:46 AM #779954Participantit was really fun!
November 9, 2014 at 10:50 AM #779955ParticipantWe didn’t have fun. It was family movie night.
We watched a movie called ” The Rocket” had a very realistic birth scene of twins with the second still born and the young mother dying after being kicked out of her village in Laos by some british corporation, probably IMF funded, dam building project. The people were promised a nice village with new houses and spectacularly fertile soil but were given squalor amidst old unexploded ordinance.The Movie was trying to keep the massive carpet bombing / cluster bombing of Laos by the US from being forgotten I think.
I like the anti-cluster bomb agenda.
The movie is a good contrast to veterans day hype that the schools are throwing out right now. My kid said, I am not happy that America did that. He was having a hard time understanding why I would not participate in “Bring a veteran to school day”. He said most of the veterans , when put in front of a mic to speak, looked like they wanted to cry and couldn’t talk much so that’s really good. I wasn’t there, but I kind of visualizing the superintendent cheerleading the military none-the less, I think they sang patriotic songs. O.K. only the kindergarten and first graders sang about the heroes happily coming home. It’s best to get them young.My other son says, good + evil= human.
Happy ending for the remnants of one family, they win a rocket flight contest and get enough money to buy good land and build a house.
Stay away from captain crunch.

Veterans day seems like a good opportunity for actual education at a school.

ParticipantDo you get stoned to death if you win?

The winner wasn’t stoned. The star was one of the surviving twins and he was supposed to be killed in case he was cursed. it was a secret between the grandma and mother until the grandma caved into all the bad luck the corporations had gotten the family into and in a fit of public hysteria blamed it all on the boy. She blurted out the fact that he was an evil twin and curse, his rocket won the contest and everyone actually forgave him and gave him the money prize. He was a hero. Made the rocket fuel out of bat shit and his own piss. -
