    You all smell and have bad hair. I hate you all!

    Now hold on a second, Sam Jackson flying kites might be worth a watch.

    The first one was fantastic, but this trailer doesn't really grab me.

    There is nothing flawed about judging people as individuals and as not part of a group. And I read your posts just fine. I get it, some of you come from regions that view people of wealth as being inherently uncaring individuals. Your prejudices don't make you right. The movie plays up classism and beats the audience over the head with a viewpoint that is based upon prejudice and not fact.

    It's called a typo, it happens when I post from my phone. And no, it doesn't magically make it so, but I am still right, as you go on to prove below... I wasn't insinuating that ONLY the U.S. gave, but thanks for further proving my point. Right, just like it isn't a strecth to say you have a fondness for sexualized pre-pubescent girls because you watch anime. Or that because there are a disproportional number of African Americans incarcerated in the U.S. that all African Americans are criminals. Shall I continue? And here we agree.

    I'm not sure there is anything else to say about it. Did they really charge 4 bucks for it?
  8. Duke Togo
    Not much of a surprise, though, is it?

    You lost me in the first five minutes. What else is there to say? You want people to listen, yet you turned off this listener before you even started to talk about the meat of the comic. You say I'm not your audience, and that's fine--no loss for you. I'm not even sure why you're even still engaging me on this subject. And I'm not exactly anonymous; there are people here who know who I am, and I post from time to time on the Facebook page. But hey, we all agree the comic is crap, right? I don't see the problem here.

    I heard bad things about the second movie from some friends, and was planning to wait to pick it up from Netflix. But now I think I may go see it after all.

    May I suggest to you Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, and The Twilight Samurai.

    Actually, I do, and my knowledge isn't clouded by prejudice. But again, nothing to do with this movie. You like it because it fits with your world view, I get it. Thankfully, I was raised to judge everyone individually, and not on some stereotype or generalized notion of who "they" are. And thus I think Elysium its poorly written crap.
  13. Duke Togo
    I liked the robots No, and again, totally irrelevant to the topic at hand and the movie.
  14. Duke Togo
    You're strange (and a bit delusional). And we've probably spent more time talking about this comic than it deserves.
  15. Duke Togo
    The video has nothing to do with the topic at hand or anything you in the test of your post. The number one supplier of humanitarian aid in the world is the "wealthy" United States. Many of the world's largest charitable organizations and driven by, supported, and/l contributed to by the wealthy. Certainly, this does not apply to all nations or cultures, but that's my point--you can't paint all people with one broad brush.

    Classism in all forms is bad, and it's use in the film is unintelligent, unoriginal, and does little more than pander to those who seek that sort of conflict. The stereotypes portrayed here are no more accurate than the generalization that all otaku are enamored with sexualized pre-pubescent cartoon characters.
  17. Duke Togo
    I take it you've not seen many jidaigeki films.
  18. Duke Togo
    There is nothing factual about the wealthy being innately bad or selfish.
  19. Duke Togo
    Got this from Netflix today. To be blunt, it's heavy-handed and nonsensical. I'm fully capable of suspending disbelief, but nearly every single major set piece had some sequence that left me scratching my head. And in case you missed Avatar, Elysium reiterates that all people of wealth are bad, and certainly won't lift a finger to help anyone but themselves (even when the means to heal the world are at their disposal and fully automated). What a disappointingly huge step backward from District 9.
  20. Duke Togo
    Rage? Huh? I'm just saying you completely lost me in those first five minutes.
  21. Duke Togo
    Not hating; I'm only a content consumer commenting. You won't ever catch me saying things like "Rowboattech" or "Whoremoney Gold."
  22. Duke Togo
    Couldn't get past the first five minutes of whining about a lack of respect for Carl Macek.

    This discussion ended when we discovered Gunbuster was not on the list. Truly.
