Thanks for keeping the party going! <BR/><BR/>So the movie was....good. Still digesting it. The efx, fight scenes, violence was SICK, a little long, but I get it. A lot of hidden messages, and not so hidden messages. I want to see it again, on IMAX!<BR/><BR/>I need a side hustle like Liz. I wonder how hard it is to get into copy editing. It's really just proofreading, but you can also help someone flesh out ideas as well. I may have to make that my mission this year. I can always use more money and hone my skills as well.<BR/><BR/>Nicole, you know I was looking for you today :) I read your blogs at night, so Annamaria always beats me :) You need to send out an email when you post! That way we all know when you write something. I can help ;)<BR/><BR/>Thank you all for always reading and commenting on my blog. You really have no idea how much it means to me and how much am uplifted and learn from all of you....so THANK YOU!!!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-36925701656841537482009-03-05T18:34:00.000-05:002009-03-05T18:34:00.000-05:00Malek you get some love too girl!You need somethin...Malek you get some love too girl!<BR/><BR/>You need something for the ashiness talk to E Jackson!

It's based on...Georgia Peach - it Is ultra violent. It's based on a GRAPHIC NOVEL...people seem to ignore the meaning of the word GRAPHIC. Kind of like the idiots who saw The Dark Knight and were like "why is Batman so violent?" Uh, hello - based on the GRAPHIC NOVEL interpretation of Batman...<BR/><BR/>But the graphic violence serves a point for the overall movie itself. It's kind of a commentary on us as Americans and society as a whole. Just like if you look at Fight Club and focus in on the bloody fights, you miss the message - even though Ed Norton and Brad Pitt literally spell it out throughout the whole damned film. And yes - it's spelled out in this movie as well. <BR/><BR/>No offense - but I get when people don't get subverted messages in films. But when it's explained in the film - I dub the people who didn't get it IDIOTS. So, I guess I'm calling your co-workers idiots. Sorry if that offended you...it's how I feel.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if you will like it, not knowing your taste...but at least if you don't like it, don't like it by at least getting the point of WHY the violence was there and what the character's motivations are. Especially since they say it...<BR/><BR/>I swear. I completely understand why foreigners view us as imbeciles...<BR/><BR/>Those same people's heads would explode if they read the book...the movie is a lot easier to understand than the book was for some (though I like stuff with underlying messages, so I got it).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
