The evil Dr. Krupp (Luis Aceves Castañeda), a mad scientist also known as "the Bat", managed to escape the snake pit into which he was thrown by Popoca the Aztec Mummy (Ángel di Stefani) in the previous film and continues his efforts to steal a valuable Aztec treasure from Popoca's tomb. Krupp builds a robot with a human head and brain in it (which is thus, technically, a cyborg), planning to use it to destroy the mummy should he return to thwart his plans. Krupp's former colleague and original finder of the mummy, Dr. Eduardo Almada (Ramón Gay), his wife Flora, and his associate Pinacate, all work to stop the mad scientist from completing his plans.

You know this movie. You've seen it a million times before a million different ways. But this one is campy in its very own way, which makes it special.

A fictionalized account of a true story, it centers on the controversial 60 Minutes segment about Jeffrey Wigand, a whistleblower in the tobacco industry,[3] covering his and CBS producer Lowell Bergman's struggles as they defend his testimony against efforts to discredit and suppress it by CBS and Wigand's former employer.

Though not a box office success, The Insider received acclaim from critics, who praised Crowe's portrayal of Wigand and Mann's direction. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor in a Leading Role (for Russell Crowe).

There are a couple of cuss words blanked out the in the first couple minutes, but whoever was doing that got bored and quit doing it after a while. Also, the youtube comments say some of the violence was edited down.

Was uploaded yesterday, aspect ratio is a little weird, might be removed in a day or two. UPDATE: yep, it' gone.

I think this might have region-blocking, but I'm not sure of the regions.

Old documentary about kung fu, displaying the various types of wushu forms. Doesn't have a plot, is only 480p, and I think it was meant to be some kind of national propaganda film. But it is fascinating to see the different styles by expert practitioners in natural settings. A young Jet Li shows up at 19:10.

There's nothing different about me. I'm just another bored male, approaching 30, in a dead-end job, who lives for the weekend. Casual sex, watered-down lager, heavily cut drugs. And occasionally kicking fuck out of someone.

What else are you gonna do on a Saturday? Are you gonna sit in some poxy office with a cunt for a boss telling you what to do as you count your pennies trying to make ends meet in a country that's sinking into strikes and wars and at the end of the day you go home to your cosy little flat in 'nowheresville' and pull your IKEA curtains shut to hide from the big bad world and pretend it's not happening? Sit in your fuckin' armchair wankin' off to Pop Idols? Then try and avoid your wife's gaze as you struggle to come to terms with your sexless marriage? Then go and spunk your wages on kebabs, fruit machines and brasses? Or are you gonna stand up and be counted, make a difference and feel the rush?

Just for once say "fuck it". I'm coiled up like a spring and I'm ready to burst and wanking ain't doing it anymore. I need violence to make me feel I'm still alive. Fuck all that for a laugh! I know what I'd rather do. Tottenham away, love it!

Variously translated as "The Angel of Hearth and Home" or "The Fireside Angel", subtitled: "The Triumph of Surrealism."

Ernst painted The Triumph of Surrealism shortly after the defeat of the Spanish Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. In this conflict, Spanish fascist leaders were supported by Germany and Italy in their victory. Ernst's goal was to depict the chaos that he saw spreading over Europe and the ruin that fascism brings to countries.

...

retitled by Ernst in 1938 as The Triumph of Surrealism, "a despairing reference to the fact that the surrealists with their Communist ideas had been unable to do anything to resist fascism."
