Children of Men

[Viperidae]

And if you went into the movie thinking it was an action film, then the problem seems to be with expectations on your end.

The irony of course being it has better action than 90% of the action movies released in the past 5 years.

 

[Yorick]

Stand up for being an American citizen!

Why? This country makes me sick more often than it makes me proud.

 

[DeusExMachina]

maybe i just hate brit films.. and maybe cos at 17 years old, i cant appreciate such boring movies..

Yeah I've seen 14 year olds able to appreciate it. Just be quiet already.

Why? This country makes me sick more often than it makes me proud.

you can go to london for $340 or $500 for japan, see you later.

 

[Yorick]

you can go to london for $340 or $500 for japan, see you later.

Yeah, those places are so much better.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Alas poor Yorick, what hasn't been corrupted? You sit and complain, yet do nothing to change your predicament.

 

[xcellerate]

Yeah, those places are so much better.

where else is there? America, London, and Japan...that's pretty much the world right?

 

[Asknoone]

you can go to london for $340 or $500 for japan, see you later.

Oh dear, he's stepped on your twinkling American toes.

All three of these statements share two properties: none of them are particularly fair to say, nor do any offer any constructive opportunity.

In other words, why say these sorts of things when anyone with half a brain can fathom what each person here truly feels about it (that their words may misrepresent)? It's a matter of respect.

Forgive me if I'm being esoteric.

? my...twinkling....american toes? He said this country makes him sick, I was just showing him how cheap it is to leave, we have enough people anyway, I'd be happy for him to leave. He should take some mexicans with him too.

 

[soulslicerundead]

I am soulslicer. well..ive been very insulted so i post, despite the fact that my dead self is well..dead. well, so I cannot appreciate this movie, but that does not mean I hate all movies with no action. I just do not like the brit style of movies, their comedy, camera styles ect. I have no idea why actually. even the major films from them like james bond or some epic Mr.Bean Movies, I cannot appreciate as much as films from America.

Looks like America has kind of impacted me more than the Brits, despite the fact that I live in Asia..

 

[Asknoone]

soulslicer...is it....is it really? Jesus if you hadn't pointed that out I just wouldn't have known. Thank god you did. Banned.

 

[jimbo118]

why was he banned?

 

[Asknoone]

Because his first account has been banned. Making another is against the rules.

 

[PvtRyan]

Pfew, glad I didn't tell anyone I'm really Lemonking then.

 

[jimbo118]

Because his first account has been banned. Making another is against the rules.

yeah why was his first banned i meant

 

[Asknoone]

Lemonking knows perfectly well what will happen should he return.

yeah why was his first banned i meant

Too many infractions, probably. Auto ban.

 

[Lucid]

This movie was amazing, the action was in your face and the acting was superb.

 

[Zephos]

I'm a bit late to the party... only finished watching it a few minutes ago. Loved it. Actually shed a couple of tears at the end



Also.. ****ing glad soulslicer is banned.

 

[Sloth]

Does anybody else have a movie or book that is as good at CoM? Kinda wanting to dip my toes into Dystopia again...

 

[Jerry_111]

children of men IS a book

heard its a bit different from the movie

 

[Asknoone]

Very.

 

[Ennui]

Sloth, check out The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It's not that alike, but it's still an awesome novel.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Check out anything by McCarthy, especially Blood Meridian and No Country for Old Men.

 

[Slacker]

I'm reading No Country for Old Men now and it's easily one of the best books I've ever read.

[Ravioli]

[Ennui]

*Sloth writes on massive "List of things to Do/See/Watch/Play/Read after school's over"*

This is something to do now.

 

[Kula Meenur]

Yeh, it is an epic movie

 

[Sloth]

This is something to do now.

Way too much to do now but I might read it during the holidays coming up...

 

[Sulkdodds]

Check out anything by McCarthy, especially Blood Meridian and No Country for Old Men.

Can't wait for the Cohen Brothers film.
