No this isn't some topic about the US, just a preview for a movie coming out that looks rather entertaining.
Just a couple of people doing what many of us think about daily. |

Looks promising. Now I have something else to look forward to other than the next Star trek movie. One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings - Diogenes. |

Why would you expect that, has that happened before?
This is a comedy, not a impromptu broadcast of war of the worlds. |

Man, you're like my mother. She told me that she was expecting me to think my truck was a tank and I would start driving through buildings because I wouldn't be able to distinguish between reality and video games. |

Maybe he IS your mother. Does she have a secret EVE addiction? Name a shrub after me.-á Something prickly and hard to eradicate. |

LOL - Short story, around the time midtown madness came out, we played a lot of it. You can crash and bounce of buildings and are pretty much immune to anything nasty happening. Anyway, one morning driving to work, with the top down and the overdrive just having kicked in soon after shifting into fifth, going somewhere near 110mph, it occurred to me I had picked up a few bad habits from Midtown Madness. In my mind it just suddenly clicked that I wasn't thinking about driving that fast in the same way I had before. |

Meh, the ending will be: The guy (temporarily) wakes up from a coma caused by the tumor and realizes it was all a dream/fantasy. He then dies in despair knowing that he made no difference in life, not even as a psychopathic vigilante cleanser of the gene pool. His very last thought as the light fades will be "what kind of sick **** do I have to be to include an awkward teen girl sidekick in my fantasy murder spree?"

I'm willing to bet that girl is a hallucination of his from the brain tumor. |

Allright allright peace out
I happen to really like the Falling Down movie. It probably was a ten times better movie than this one. It had a point. This one just looks like gunning down people for the lolz. It's boring and stupid. That is why it offends me, not the violence.

Don't know, seems like watching fiction violence in movies or games can desensitize a kid to real violence. Human brains don't differentiate between perceptions and reality very well. What we perceive and process becomes real, at some level. Just saying. |

Yeah today I had a friend getting very tired while we were doing some hard-hitting political crap (we're the good guys, BTW) and I was wishing I had a module to transfer some energy. I actually really wanted it.
Odd though I never used one in the game, ever. |

Interesting how no one here or in the comments section of the trailer noticed this is written-directed and perhaps produced by Bobcat Goldthwait ...
Meh ... This movie is BLUNT on purpose, and anyone offended by it is simply ... the target of the movie, which is fine in my book.
Anyone pretending to analyze, dissect or see beyond the sledgehammer approach of this movie and criticize it on several levels is not only off the hook, but seriously uninformed and ugh ...
Love the MOVIE even if the plot is null and the girl ends up being a tumor induced being and it all ends up a dream.
The whole premise of the movie is superb.
If anyone cares to feel offended please be offended at a hot dog with mayo and mustard with relish. Yes, offensive hot dogs are offensive. Inner Sayings of BrujoLoco: http://eve-files.com/sig/brujoloco |

If you're offended by this movie, chances are you're the very person who needs to see it. Keep pissing and moaning about superfluous bullshit and with a little luck it can happen to you too. |

While certainly not my first (or even second through fifth) choice of hot dog toppings, I would definitely eat a mayo mustard and relish dog. |

Eh, I'm going to disagree. Basing a movie on killing every inconsiderate jerk we run across in life isn't that creative. Normally, that vice is appeased by a "creative solution" such as "I'm older and have more insurance."
Falling Down wasn't a simple 113 minute long gratuitously amoral murder spree after a terminal diagnosis from a doctor. It started off with a situation that movie goers could empathize/fear (laid off and unable to find a new job) and we watched the anti-hero transform from frustrated out of work divorced engineer to hero to vigilante to villain to horrified self-awareness and finally suicide-by-cop in subtle stages.

It's not trying to be creative. It's not trying to be artistic. It's not trying to make a deep, profound statement.
It's simply a movie in which the protagonist does exactly what so many people have wanted to do for so long. It is essentially a video game on film but with no interaction. It's the movie everyone wants to see because everyone has wanted to do the exact same thing this guy is doing. If you can't understand that or if it isn't high-minded enough for you, go watch The Piano or something.
It needs to be a gratuitously amoral murder spree because these people deserve nothing less. Killing inconsiderate jerks like in Falling Down and killing giant wastes of air and space like everyone in My Sweet 16 Party or Jersey Shore are two completely different things, the latter being a necessity and the former being a tragedy. |
