Eco-terrorists value the lives of animals or plants more so than they do their own kind: ALF blows up animal laboratories and meat packaging plants; Sea Shepherd Conservation Society attacks fishermen and their boats; others burn down houses, injure hunters and loggers, etc. The FBI considers eco-terrorism the #1 domestic terror threat.

Toy Story!!!
I went to see Toy Story 1 & 2 tonight, back-to-back, alone. This was the only movie I ever went to the theater by myself for, besides the Passion of the Christ (yeah… kind of in a different category). For the longest time, I wondered how it’d feel to pay $16 to watch two movies
First Baseball Game
After work today, I went with a bunch of coworkers to see Yankees play the Blue Jays. This was the first baseball game, also the first sporting event since graduating from Tech, that I have been to. Well, I figured that as I start my fifth year being a New Yorker, this was sort of
Toy Story 1 & 2… 3D!
I wanna see this! Trailer on YouTube
Up
Once again Pixar has done a fantastic job with their annual animated film, Up, the flick about an old man and a lot of balloons: It’s unusual to see any movie, let along a cartoon, to center its story on a whithering old man. Up had done it so well, that our theater was unusually crowded

Toy Story 3
I’ve been waiting for this movie since 2005. Only one more year to go! Click to see the teaser trailer:
Chinese Tonight Yo
Hey Yo! Tasty Chinese Tonight! I think “ho jaye” translates to “let’s have”. Found this poster on the window of Patel Brothers, an Indian chain supermarket. This wouldn’t have been so funny if it weren’t found in Flushing, where the store was surrounded by a whole city of Chinese more real than “Real Chinese”.
Slumdog Millionaire
We had no idea what this movie was about before it was half over. On Thursday, I heard about it for the first time. On Friday, I heard about it for the second time. On Saturday, Hong mentioned how she also heard many excellent reviews, so we hit the movie theater, paid for the tickets,
Wally World Wall-E
Did Wall-E come from Walmart? When we watch the movie and see the portrayal of Buy n Large, the retail chain super store that covered Earth, it’s pretty easy to make an association with Walmart: gigantic stores, feel-good commercials, cheap goods, and fat people. Is this connection subtle or obvious? How about the robot hero’s
