The United States was founded by individuals who knew that man is inherently self-interested, hence too much power in one place is dangerous. The rights of the people are protected from a big government. The next step is an almost religious devotion to a person or a national cause, rather than to right principles. In Hitler’s Germany, Hitler changed the principles. When principles are based on moral absolutes, then those principles do not change. Personalities come and go, movements move on, but principles are eternal.The United States was founded by individuals who knew that man is inherently... more

New York, Jan 3 : American actor Tom Cruise
could end up being sued by a San Francisco advertising executive
for using a replica of Adolf Hitler's globe in his movie 'Valkyrie '
Robert Pritikin owns several of Hitler's artefacts, including the notorious globe, which the Fuehrer used to plan U-boat attacks from his compound in the Bavarian Alps.
Pritikin, who had bought Hitler's globe in 2007 for 100,000 dollars, decided to take legal action after he saw a copied version of the globe in Cruise's movie.
'Pritikin believes the globe should be used as a teaching tool so the lessons of Hitler's nightmare can keep history from repeating itself, ' the New York Post quoted investigator Paul Barresi, who was retained to look into the copying of the globe, as saying.
'Tom Cruise's use of the globe's likeness without our client's permission was likely just an oversight. We're confident this will all be quickly resolved out of court, ' Hanks said.
Pritikin, who recently put the Hitler items up for sale through businessman Peter Marino, hopes that Cruise may buy them.
'I think it would be a wonderful gesture of good will on Tom Cruise's part to purchase the globe along with all of the other Hitler artefacts owned by Mr. Pritikin and donate them to the Wiesenthal Centre, ' Barresi stated.
Representatives for Cruise and United Artists were unavailable for comments on the issue.

"We actually interviewed Hitler's bodyguard, " says Valkyrie screenwriter and producer Christopher McQuarrie. He also had access to members of the Stauffenberg family, Stauffenberg being the lone surviving Valkyrie conspirator. After reading this interview, it seems a shame that Cruise took the focus off this very compelling, real life plot. McQuarrie also makes an interesting point about how, despite the plot's failure, it succeeded in one very important respect.
McQuarrie explains, "Tresckow [one of the conspirators] acknowledged that it was a long shot, but he also said that it had to be attempted regardless of whether or not they succeeded. Tresckow was one who always understood that what mattered most was that Germans within the military make an attempt at killing Hitler as a means of communicating to the rest of the world that they were not all sympathetic to him, if for no other reason, not to change the course of the war but to give Germany a chance of surviving as a country after the war ended.""We actually interviewed Hitler's bodyguard, " says Valkyrie... more

There were a thousand VIPs at the Time Warner Centre in New York for the glittering world premiere of Tom Cruise’s new film, ‘Valkyrie’.
And the movie - based on a failed plot to kill Adolf Hitler during the Second World War - went down a treat with fans, who were out in force!
As soon as the film ended there was a moment of silence before the crowd broke into rapturous applause and screamed and cheered.
Tom Cruise (46) was overjoyed. He told BILD: “I wanted to tell this amazing story about one of the world’s heroes. The Germans know it, but now millions of others will get the chance to also!”
German actor Sebastian Koch (46) played Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, one of the leaders of the assassination plot, on TV and won an Oscar for ‘The Lives of Others’, and was impressed with the film: “Awe-inspiring! Great! A history thriller! I was shaking with excitement.”

Valkyrie (2008) Movie Trailer :: videos.18d.org :: The July 20th Plot on Hitler's life is one of the most heroic, but least known episodes of World War II history. Severely wounded in combat, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg returns from Africa to join the German Resistance, and help create Operation Valkyrie, the complex plan that will allow a shadow government to replace Hitler's once he is dead. But fate and circumstance conspire to thrust Stauffenberg from one of many in the plot to a double-edged central role. Not only must he lead the coup and seize control of his nation's government--he must kill Hitler himself.
Cast: Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Terence Stamp
Director: Bryan Singer
Genres: War

The first time ever, I made a Tifa/Cloud amv @__@
**Disclaimer** this is a purely fan-made vid
------
Artist: Sonata Arctica
Song: Shy
Album: Successor
Scenes: Final Fantasy VIII, Advent Children, Dirge of Ceberus, Valkyrie Profile 2
------
Again, ppl call this song gay and emo and retarded, etc. and etc. to me its still a beautiful song, really beautiful.
Although im not a Tifa/Cloud fan but this time I still make an amv for this couple T__T..... well to be honest I don't really like Cloud/Aeris but when I played FF7, everything that I could see was Cloud loved Aerith like crazy (funnily how Aeris flirted with him but he even didn't realise that lol ). The first time, I want to make a "Cloud is shy" lol...
As for Valkyrie Profile, of course Alicia and Rufus are always the best couple, but I somewhat still like Lezard Valeth, he's a bad character but he also has an insane love for valkyrie @___@..... so yea... Lezard x Valkyrie XD
Dirge of Ceberus, always I love this couple: Vincent Valentine and Lucrecia
And the last one for FF8, Rinoa and Squall, very cute ones =3
Hope you enjoy watching

Sonata Arctica - Shy Lyrics
I can see how you are beautiful, can you feel my eyes on you,
I'm shy and turn my head away
Working late in diner Citylight, I see that you get home alright
Make sure that you can't see me, hoping you will see me
Sometimes I'm wondering why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana (can you)
I see you in Citylight diner serving all those meals and then
I see reflections of me in your eyes, oh please
Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy can't you see
Obsessed by you, your looks, well, anyway ,I would any day die for you,
I write on paper erased away
Still I sit in diner Citylight, drinking coffee or reading lies
Turn my head and I can see you, could that really be you
Sometimes I'm wondering why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?
I see your beautiful smile and I would like to run away from
Reflections of me in your eyes, oh please
Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy can't you see
I see, can't have you, can't leave you there 'cos I must sometimes see you
And I don't understand how you can keep me in chains
And every waking hour, I feel you taking power From me and I can't leave
Repeating the scenery over again
Sometimes I'm wondering why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?
I see your beautiful smile and I would like to run away from
Reflections of me in your eyes, oh please
Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy can't you see,
Oh baby, Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy can't you, I'm shy can't you, I'm shy can't you seeThe first time ever, I made a Tifa/Cloud amv @__@

Song: Running Away by Hoobastank
Album: The Reason
Scenes: Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, Dirge of Ceberus
-----
I don't really like this song though I think this song is really for Vincent Valentine and his feeling for Lucrecia. I don't hate Lucrecia because I think after the professional Vincent died, she must be hurt enough and suffered from her own fault for such a long time in loneliness and regret and she still blamed herself even after Vincent of Chaos was born. Anyway Dirge of Ceberus still ended with quite not beautiful ending (to me)...I want Vincent and Lucrecia to be together again, just like how Yuna and Tidus were in FFX-2. anyway we still have to accept the ending of Square Enix X.x...
When I made this vid, I also put Rufus and Alicia there.... although the story of them is not really what the song expresses, I still think its somewhat what Rufus thought. But Alicia didn't have any choice and she chose the best way already. Hope that in Valkyrie Profile 3 (maybe it will be realised someday and maybe it will be about Hrist), Rufus can bring his dearest Alicia back.
This is also a tribute for my first love. Its truly impossible to continue a love with lies and fake things, especially when you believe in someone so much but after all you don't have even the truth.

Running Away lyric
I don't want you, to give it all up
And leave your own life, collecting dust
And I don't want you, to feel sorry for me
You never gave us, a chance to be
And I don't need you, to be by my side
To tell me, that everything's alright
I just wanted you, to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
[Chorus]
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Cause I did enough, to show you that I
Was willing to give, and sacrifice
And I was the one, who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough
And when I get close, you turn away
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you, to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
[Chorus]
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Is it me, is it you? (is it me, is it you)
Nothing that, I can do (nothing that, I can do)
To make you, change your mind (to make you)
Is it me, is it you? (so why do - you run - away)
Nothing that, I can do (won't you tell me)
Is it a, waste of time? (why do - you run - away)
Is it me, is it you?
Nothing that, I can do
To make you, change your mind - no
[Chorus]
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away? (what is it, I have to say)
[Chorus]
So why are you running away? (to make you admit, you're afraid)
Why are you running away?-------

I would have never known the song if my friend BrandonDaringer2 had not told me about this awesome song of Kamelot and even sent that song to me ^^
So, well, this video clip is surely dedicated to him ^_^
This is his Youtube channel:

And his myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/brandondaringer
Thanks, my friend ^_^

This is a sad song... really ;___;
So I chose Vincent Valentine and Lucrecia (again and of course), Cloud and Aerith (or Aeris, whatever you want to call her) and the last one is Rufus and Alicia in Valkyrie Profile 2. this is the first time ive tried with another game but I hope it will fit well. To be honest I don't really like Alicia's image since they made her look like a child, not a princess who is brave and lonely for such a long time. But I like the story of her and Rufus, also the sad ending
This is also the longest vid ive made until now (more than 6 mins x.x...), that's why its not really good but I guess its ok for the first time, hope you enjoy it ^^
--------------
For ppl who don't know: this song and also the albums of Kamelot indeed tell you a long story which based on a play that is about the bet between Mephisto and God. Each song is a story, feeling and event in the play. That's why in lyrics there are names of characters.
the meaning of the song "III Ways To Epica" and the album, also the whole story, you can find here:

II Ways to Epica lyric
[MEPHISTO:]
When you play with fire
You must anticipate some burns
Chasing for desire...
It's just a different way to learn
[ARIEL:]
I am defected from God
[HELENA:]
God had seized my soul
[ARIEL:]
So low redemptions too far
[HELENA:]
I am heaven's sheen
[ARIEL:]
She's the one that I loved
[HELENA:]
Love is all we know
[ARIEL:]
And she tore me apart
[HELENA:]
The dark can never win
[MEPHISTO:]
All that I require
Is some trust as the pages turn
I can take you higher
Cause your will is my concern
[ARIEL:]
I am defected from God
[HELENA:]
God had seized my soul
[ARIEL:]
So low redemptions too far
[HELENA:]
I am heaven's sheen
[ARIEL:]
She's the one that I loved
[HELENA:]
Love is all we know
[ARIEL:]
And she tore me apart
[HELENA:]
The dark can never win
[ARIEL:]
So long...maybe forever
I must carry on
Why did God take away
That one thing I wanted
Maybe God is the melody
We all serenade
[MEPHISTO:]
You would not feel sadness
If you never tasted joy
That's the curse of humans
Born in passion you destroyI would have never known the song if my friend BrandonDaringer2 had not told me about... more
