    Has anyone seen that movie the Watchmen yet? Iv`e heard it is an "in your face" freemasonic propaganda piece essentially laying out their agenda using villans and superheros. I`m wondering if it is worth sitting through?

    Wall street

    The scene where Gordon Gekko (GG) and Bud Fox propose the Blue Star buyout.
    Martin Sheen (playing Charlie Sheen's father) has these lines of wisdom as he scoffs at the idea of allowing a corporate takeover

    Bud fox's dad: ha ha ho ha
    Well I guess a man lives long enough to see everything...
    I came into Egypt a pharoa that did no know..

    G Gekko: I beg your pardon is that a proverb?

    BFD: No a prophecy. the rich been doin it to the poor since the beginning of time, only difference between the pyramids of egypt and the empire state building is the egyptians didnt allow unions... his in and out for the buck and he dont take prisoners[i]



    Wall street is an excellent movie, watching it now with some background knowledge on symbolism made it even better. The juxtaposition of numbers and scenery were intertwined closely with the plot. I recommend it.

    I'd agree

    I'd even go so far as to say that the zombie genre is a good metaphor for a civilization in collapse where the populations, with lack of food and resources (alive but on the verge of dying), resort to attacking and cannibalizing each other, as has happened so many times in history

    I have watched a few of the genre and it seems to be entirely predictive programming, the martial law, forced quarantine zones,(i am legend) shoot on sight actions, humanity is portrayed a stupid mass of humanity that just wants to shop and eat.
    (dawn of the dead)

    I would love to know where the zombie genre began in modern film.

    I have heard AW describe the bible themes"walking dead" and "let the dead bury their dead" as being a reference to the masses who don't have any independent thought. Ill leave it at that for now, when I get some more time I might make a zombie movie thread Smile

    Just found this clip on another forum.

    This is something I have to check out, it looks like a sensational movie.

    It covers the dispute between the occult/white/jewish/catholic conspiracy opinions.

    The name istelf is interesting. I will be making a review of this film in the short term./

    I would love to know where the zombie genre began in modern film.

    The zombie has it roots in Afro-Caribbean belief systems. I've always considered it as a type of African Hermeticism of sorts. The sorcerer that controls the Zombie, in a way has the perfect slave or Golem type of creature, but in post-living human form. Also, in a strange alchemical way, the zombie becomes immortal by conquering death.

    Studies have been done, and appearently, the pharmacological root behind creating zombies are derived from the chemical substances of the datura and blowfish. It slows the heart rate of a person so much, that they're often mistake for dead and are later buried in above ground cemetries...from which they later wake up from. But their brains are so chemically damaged, that its easy for the vodou sorcerer to control them.

    according to wiki, the first Zombie movies began in the 1930's

    I think that comes from a type of ancient Egyptian (almost gnostic like) belief system that belief the material world is the realm of the dead, and all the inhabitants are dead beings and that real life is the after life.
