CONELRAD - All Things Atomic The Library of Congress National Film Registry once again snubs The Atomic Cafe (a landmark documentary), but deems The Muppet Movie (1979) worth preserving. Huh?

Hey now, The Muppet Movie is a fantastic piece of work. I'm not just talking in a nostalgia sense; watching it as an adult I enjoy it on its own merits more than I did when I was five.

CONELRAD - All Things Atomic For the last minute X-mas shoppers out there (thanks Scott)...

This was the most elaborate Atomic Energy educational set ever produced, but it was only only available from 1951 to 1952. Its relatively high price for the time ($50.00) and its sophistication were the explanation Gilbert gave for the set's short lifespan. ...

The sad thing is today people are so irrationally afraid of anything radioactive there would be near riots of someone attempted to sell something like this, yet there's more radioactive material in your average ionization smoke detector.

Nah a remake would be horrible. Besides the original was made during the Cold War days and the fear of nuclear war.
Nevertheless, I do hope it's released soon on DVD.

CONELRAD - All Things Atomic Another souvenir from CONELRAD co-founder Bill Geerhart's visit to John
Birch Society HQ in Belmont, Massachusetts in 1985. Ann Coulter would
probably like one of these.

After the Soviet Union fell it turned out many of his accusations were true. He was still an opportunistic which-hunter, however.

Just listened to enough of it to get a weird sense of déjà vu. I swear every single presidential campaign sounds like this no matter who's running or which decade it is.

...The Trickster ini his prime. Too bad its on Vimeo, because I had to use Clipnabber to download it, and it doesn't allow for FLV conversion/retention. MP4 is a joke and yet they keep using it because it's a pain for anyone not using a Mac to encode in that, much less watch.
