Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman (2006)

IMDB rating: 8.00

Plot: In 1938, two aspiring comic strip talents, Jerry Siegal and Joe Shuster, published a character that would create a new genre of fantasy, Superman, the first superhero. This film explores the creation of the character and his subsequent evolution over the decades through various media. With various interviews of noted creative luminaries, the film shows how the character has adapted to the times and bounced back from times when he felt irrelevant to always regain his prominence as one of the great heroes of popular culture.

In the 'Superman' documentary, all living characters of the genre are interviewed except Tom Welling. Why?
In the documentary, "Look, up in the sky!: The amazing story of Superman", all living characters involved with the genre are interviewed except Tom Welling - who is the star of TV’s hit show, ‘Smallville’. Tom Welling has been a major contribution to the genre, and is a major celebrity still living. Why was he not involved? Did he refuse, or was he ignored? Or did other schedules conflict?


that is a pretty glaring omission. I haven’t saw it. was this the same show I saw on a&e a few months ago narrated by kevin spacey? it seems like there were 2 shows like that, one on a&e the other on discovery channel and I’m pretty sure I saw tom welling in one of them.
surely he wouldn’t refuse,and it wouldn’t take that long to get some clips so schedule conflict should be out. maybe he wasn’t because technically he isn’t superman yet.
but I’m sure I have saw him on some superman/superhero doc where he was talking about meeting christoper reeve in that one episode and his(tom’s) part in the grand scheme of things.
I’ll have to rent it

Because he is not yet technically Superman. His character is Clark Kent. Until he puts on the red tights, he’s in a whole different world

Criticism Needed. Are these paragraphs okay, or would you rephase. How?
(I)Introduction: Debate whether the Criminal Justice System discriminates.

The media has portrayed images and stereotypes of long time ideas that people of color are criminal and dangerous or irresponsible and reckless. There is little credible research proposing that minority involvement in the criminal justice system is caused by a particular circumstance such as being inferiority, deviance, or tendency toward violence. Although, there was research examining structural factors in crime such as: (unemployment, poverty, neighborhood of residence) that are highly related with race.

A criminal background starting at an early age may explain best for why people of color are overly expressed in the criminal justice system. When the judges, prosecutors and police offers look at the offense made by someone that

High: The True Tale of American Marijuana

The True Tale of American Marijuana
High: The True Tale of American Marijuana (2008)

IMDB rating: 6.90

Plot: Beyond the hysteria of Reefer Madness and past the deceptive lessons of “Just Say No”, HIGH exposes the true story of America’s war on drugs. Using government statistics, expert interviews and a large dose of humor, HIGH takes a fresh look at this hot button issue and asks just how much this “war” costs Americans in money, stress, and even lives. There’s a violent drug treatment program that tortured children; an overbearing drug czar that doesn’t care for the people he hurts in his quest; patients who are being denied the medications they need; doctors being prosecuted for trying to help them; and a substance that we all know of, but nobody wants to talk about.

Directors: Holowach John

Actors: Cortes Ricardo,Craker Lyle,Earnshaw William,Fager Wes,Heberle Paul,Miron Jeffrey,Stroup Keith,Documentary,

Marijuana? Can someone give me a reason why its bad?
1 MARIJUANA DOES NOT MAKE YOU STUPID. If it did then why has there been so many successful people in the world that have inhaled. There studies that show that it actually stimulates brain activity.
2 IT DOES NOT KILL BRAIN CELLS. the test that showed loss was done, instead of recommended 30 joints a day, by placing gas masks over monkeys and then pumping sixty grams of weed in five minutes WITHOUT additional oxygen. The monkeys suffocated which caused brain cell loss.
3 IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU CANCER. There is not one case of anyone getting cancer from smoking marijuana alone. You can’t find one. Cigarettes however kill many many people
studies show THC attacking malignant tumors. A cure for cancer?
4 IT HAS NEVER KILLED ANYONE. EVER. Caffeine kills more people a year
5 It is THE number one cash crop. HEMP has more uses then any other industrial plant and America is the only country not growing it.
6 NO VIOLENT CASES. EVER. The only violent cases you here are because its illegal. Drug wars in Mexico would stop in there tracks if we legalize it. Most of there funding comes from marijuana and the US is their best costumer.
7. THIRTEEN states have legalized it for medical purposes.
8 IT HAS NO ADDICTIVE QUALITIES. The reason why there are so many people are in rehab for it is because when your caught you can either go to jail or go to rehab. 15% of people in rehab for marijuana are there because they want to be. Most people in rehab are first time offenders
9 ALCOHOL is much worse in every way. Case after case you hear people dying because of alcohol or related to alcohol. drunk drivers. Not to mention that during alcohol’s prohibition it gave birth to organized crime.
10 THE GATEWAY THEORY doesn’t make sense. Its scientifically impossible. Only one 1 of every 140 weed smokers also do cocaine.
11 If it were legalized it would be WAY HARDER FOR KIDS to get it because they would have to go through a regulated system. The store owner would lose his license. A drug dealer only cares about the money.

Also the government can tax it, Just like they tax tobacco. And you don’t see people growing tobacco in there garden either.

Any good reason why its still illegal??

HIGH-The True Tale of American Marijuana

Thanks for reading. 10 points if you can give me a good reason.
Dear claire, I have checked the facts and they say that no one has ever gotten cancer from marijuana use alone. If your much more likely to get cancer from marijuana like you say, then how come you cant find a case of it.
Thank you bluguy57
Bob Marely died of cancer. Doctors speculate that he lived as long as he did through his long term marijuana use. And I haven’t smoked in about three months. I haven’t had any withdrawals or anything of the sort.
And so what if I want to smoke it. That doesn’t make my facts any less true. Its the people who smoke it and love it who will be the ones to do the research and fight for it.


Answer: none.

YES…..ITS BAD BECAUSE ITS SO DAMN GOOD!!!!

Billy Bob Jr. | Sep 04, 2009


well, it’s illegal
it actually is addicting, i did a huge project on drug addiction for a psychology class
jen | Sep 04, 2009


It’s like being drunk in public, which is illegal too. Misuse of products causes harm to people and others and causes accidents and makes people DO stupid things. I don’t really know why it’s illegal, I just know that misuse of mouthwash can result in a drunk killing somebody just as much as any other product being misused can harm people.
ilovenerd2003 | Sep 04, 2009


really i can’t find a good reason why it should be illegal. since this is illegal i dont understand why alcohol is not yet because alcohol is responsible for riots, people getting in car crashes and killing innocent people, fights and things like that.

i never hear about people doing things like this while being high on marijuana

pisses me off

i agree, i’m been blazin over 10 years now with minimal side effects…
thanks for spreading the good words about Marijuana!!!!

meL | Sep 04, 2009


its "bad" cuz its actually good for you… really I think the only reason is that some people don’t know how to function they’re first time… like getting drunk for the first time same thing
Tyler M | Sep 04, 2009


I agree, for the most part, it’s no worse than tobacco.

BUT, if you want to make a public policy change case for this, abandon the arguments you’ve given, many of which are basic logical fallacies.

The basic point is, it’s no worse than tobacco, and probably better than alcohol, for a variety of reasons. It should be made legal, no doubt.
Vernon Dozier: Redux | Sep 04, 2009


Honestly weed is not bad its great to me! I love weed and I dont think I’d trade that for any other drug period. All of the above is fact weed cannot kill you and it doesn’t make you stupid unless you just sit on your ass all day and smoke. If you smoke a blunt or what have you its relaxing and it calms you down it doesn’t make you do retarded things like other drugs out here. Herb is a plant and God made plants and meant for us to smoke it.
Neo | Sep 04, 2009


cuz people need to have more respect. and yes, that goes for gettin pissed too. i understand why people turn alcoholic, (or turn to marijuana) cuzza difficulties in life. but why can’t people ditch drugs and have a happier life.. without getting high?
anyway, i know druggies aren’t my kindaa people tbh..
[[*SchoolGirl Error*]] thirteeen | Sep 04, 2009


It’s great, it’s not bad. Watch the movie "Super High Me", it breaks down all the myths of ganja. Some of the most respected people on earth puff the magic dragon, like the great Bruce Lee, Bob Marley, Ben Stiller, Jenifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Woody Harrison, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Jacky Chan, and Dave Chappelle.

What can I do to help my cat?
My kitten suddenly became sick. I went out of town Friday and left her in my house. My mom came by and she got out, which is o.k. because she goes out all the time. I came home Saturday and noticed she seemed different, but I was in a hurry to leave for my sisters birthday dinner. That night I couldn’t find her, then this morning she was walking down the hallway and I noticed she was walking funny. She looked as if she felt bad and walked really slow and shaky. She has gotten worse throughout today. I think she got into something outside, but we normally keep poisons away or up. I live on a farm that my dad works and he sometimes leaves stuff out so I walked around and found a bucket with water and something sludgy. I smelled it and think it was diesel fuel and rain water. I am afraid she drank some. She is very ill and has a smell to her like death. There are no after hours veterinarians in my town unless it is a large animal. I feel she will die tonight so I have made her a bed and covered her up to stay warm. What else should I do?


sounds like there’s not much else to do except try and get the vet for larger animals to take a look anyway. Are you sure there’s no emergency vet’s office around? check yellow pages, internet, and call the horse and cattle vet anyway, maybe they’ll do you a favor.
Andrew | Nov 15, 2009


Call your vet anyway and leave a voicemail. Vets do actually check their voicemail, just in case.

Hi Rapid Fire,

Upon review, we found that the following answer was not in violation of the Yahoo! Canada Answers Community Guidelines or Yahoo! Canada Terms of Service.

"My local vet is a 45 minute drive away and she is also a large animal vet. And if this was my cat it would be there right now. In fact, when I suspected my cat was poisoned a few months ago I arranged to have it driven 120 miles to the emergency clinic in the city where they had the specialized equipment to handle such a case. So save the excuses - they don’t work here. If you truly wish this animal to survive you have to prove it and do something about it. I refuse to counsel anyone that will let an animal die when there are alternatives available to them."
