Film links
I’ve added a few more links to the left sidebar. If you page down, you’ll see several links that will give you some more background on spaghetti westerns and blaxploitation flicks. Be sure to check out Fistful of Leone for a good background on the groundbreaking Sergio Leone. Shobary’s Spaghetti Westerns has some trailers you can watch of some of the more obscure spag westerns as well as a bunch of other neat stuff to download. Blaxploitation.com has a bunch on jiveass mofo’ cinema, and I put a few other ones on there worth checking out. I also have links above it to all of the reviews I’ve had on here.

Hey JD,
This is off-topic, but I was struck by this interesting article I saw on Raw Story.
Study: 42% of US adults are not ‘absolutely certain’ there is a God
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Study_42_of_US_adults_are_1101.html
I especially love the first sentence:
“A new study of U.S. adults finds that 42 percent are not “absolutely certain” there is a God, but only 1 percent believe that God could be female.”
But the salient point is that despite the numbers show a far higher level of doubt than is usually reported in these studies.
It closes…
“Are believers declining?
Three years ago, in an identical survey, 79 percent of adults said they believed in God and 66 percent said they were absolutely certain that there is a God. In this new survey, those numbers have declined to 73 percent and 58 percent respectively.”
Yaeh, I saw that on Drudge. It’s worth a follow-up. But it did seem way higher than normal. Who knows, maybe there’s a subtle chanve in the wind, thanks to Harris and Dawkins, where people are starting to realize it’s ok that they aren’t sure about the SkyFairy.
