But... he's... white.

so? 

When I read xhonzi's post I thought to myself "where's warb when you need him".  Apparently not too far away.

 Wait, now I'm confused.  Are you both calling me a racist?  I SAID I WAS OKAY WITH A WHITE GUY PLAYING CP3S!

No I knew your comment was tongue-in-cheek, Warb just tends to focus racial issues in the politics thread, so I knew he would jump on it.

The Movies You Would Like To See Made (Not SW)

BioShock- I'd like to see if it could be done and I'd love to see the world visualized even a little more realistically than the game... though I have strong doubts as to whether they could condense the story into a movie.  Also, the 'free roaming', "you are in Rapture" element of the game is one of the more compelling aspects that I think would never translate to film.

Hell yeah to this.  (Frink you need to do everything in your power to play that game somehow.  I never had a 360 or PS3 but I went to a friends one time just to play the game and beat it in one sitting.  One very long, amazing sitting.)

I'd like to see something else done with Firefly/Serenity, or Battlestar Galactica.  Just out of sheer fandom. 

Other than that, what I'd really like to see are new movies that are actually new movies and not remakes/sequels/prequels/restarts/adaptations/etc.  Honestly Hollywood needs some new blood or something.  Inception was friggin amazing, lets get some new, creative stuff like that going.  I mean for christ's sake their doing a Buffy reboot movie, and as much as I love everything Whedon related, that is just ridiculous.

One thing that irks me is when people say the terminology

'I could care less'

 

The correct terminology is

'I couldn't care less'

 

'I could care less' just makes no sense. If you could care less about something, then all you're telling us is that you do care, at least a little bit. Because you COULD care less. But if you couldn't care less means you don't care at all and if you wanted to care any less about it you couldn't because it's out of your 'caring spectrum.' You are so low on the caring bar-chart, as it were that you could not care less. If your caring is at 0%, then you couldn't care less.

 

Thank you for your time.

ok i will explain this whole punctuation thing. i am very uneducated. i hated school and dropped out as a freshman in highschool.  does this make me dumb? not really. in fact i could probably teach you guys a thing or 2. yes yes i have bad spelling and punctuation. i admit it because frankly i do not give a flying shit about any of that stuff. if you wanna take cheap shots at me about it because its amusing then have at it. i am not offended by it because you are right. i know dick about commas and capitalization. english was my worst class and i never payed attention. however my scholastic achievements have never held me back. and i find it amusing that you guys seem to hold proper english typing in such an important light. as long as i am understood i could not give  a care less what anyone thinks about my typing. is that enough explaination?

+1 for ibleedspeed

Natalie Portman in "Your Highness"
Time

I don't know a single 8 year old who would sit through ten minutes of that movie, let alone the whole thing.  For that matter, I don't know a whole lot of adults who would either.  A lot of people go to movies to relax and be entertained, not to use their brains, and while I'm sure the case was the same back then, in 68 those effects would have been highly entertaining to those who didn't care about the rest of the movie.  It's too bad there aren't a lot of smart movies today that are also big budget extravaganzas. 

I saw 2010 for the first time a couple years ago.  Just terrible.
