If violence = fun, then yes, I hate fun, Doc. I do find violence interesting, though. Like the real-life violence that on-screen violence suggests. That's why I posted the JHK review.
Ok by yous?

By James Howard Kunstler
The gaeist thing I've ever read.
I did not write that 'gaeist' bit... and I would spell it 'gayest.'The Code is Almighty wrote:Somebody needs to fuck that guy in half. He saw a movie, without any background info, and he's accepted it as canon. He spouts off about how the movie depicts us as so nine inch nailed and he even gets the Joker's origin wrong. None of the stories should be taken truthfully, he spends the whole film showing how untruthful he is. Everything he does in the film is untruthful.
Anyway, fuck this guy. He talks about how the film depicts humanity as hopeless, and it's quite the opposite. The incident where the prisoners make the contrary decision, and the fact that one person says "hey, you know what? I'll carry the weight, because I want this city to heal" suggest the opposite.
I subscribe to the Killing Joke origin, but had no problem with them not nailing it down in this. They, both Nolan and Ledger, nailed the Joker perfectly. There will never be a better portrayal of the Joker in the next 100 years. The douche nozzle is right when he suggests that Ledger deserves the Oscar for this. He does. It's not going to happen, but he does.
The interesting part is JHK's take on American appetites, not the film itself.
And I have not seen the film -- I'm an adult, so big budget, hyper-violent, Hollywood comic book shit does not appeal to me.
[Braces for shitstorm from fanboy Comicon nerds...]
Actually, the really interesting part is how that fellow could run off at the mouth for that long and still not have anything to say when he's finished.

Come to think of it, some one should forward the person who wrote the review the feral girl thread/story. If he can make his way through it without thinking he already knows what it's really about, it might dawn on him just what a dumb fuck he really is.

At the end of that review it should read "We're too far gone..." not "We're to far gone...". It's hard to consider someone a writer when they don't know how to write.
I'm just saying.

Yes, I noticed that but did not want to correct the mistake. The review is from his blog, written on the fly, occasional errors and all.
His books are meticulously edited.

The chap who worked at Wayne Enterprises and found out that Bruce Wayne was Batman was called Coleman Reese.
Mr. Reese.
