Hold up because you might need to reserve that smiley for me.

Not really, beside the fact you seem to have some misdirected rage and think you take on something is the only way of seeing it I still think gbeenie would be using the smiley where it fits the best.

A..wha...HUH?  I think I'm going need a translation on that Scott.  No idea what you mean.

I saw the movie last night and loved it as much as any geeky idiot fanboy does.  I was just explaining that I pretty much never like the super violent, immoral, and "dark realism" type movies but I liked this one.  That's all I meant to say but I was actually too pumped and excited over how much I liked this movie that my post is a little poorly worded to say the least.  Nothing to do with any misdirected rage.  I'm not raging against anything.  I did hear the movie was very violent but a lot of people liked it so I saw it.  What does "take on something is the only way of seeing it" even mean?

Meh, just the usual: The stark terror of living in a world that's slowly losing all sense of morality, conscience, or civility, and being dismissed as a boring prude every time he dares to mention it aloud.

People have been saying the same thing since Clark Gable said "Damn." 

Sure, but you didn't see Clark Gable's daughter mowing down Union soldiers with a semiautomatic, now did you?

Yawn. Anyone have a good "jerking off" smiley to put here?

Nice. Would you be this pleasant if I met you face-to-face, or do you prefer the safety of online anonymity?

By 'misdirected rage' I meant your anger at things that have always existed and aren't really that important like "movie fads" and I took your dismissal of Dark Knight, Pulp Fiction, etc  because you personally didn't like them as thinking you ake on something is the only way of seeing it.  It seemed a VERY long way to to go to make your point is all.

If we met in person, I could just do the "mental masturbation" motion myself, and not have to solicit help from others.

p.s. We'd probably get along just fine. Disagreeing doesn't mean people can't enjoy each other's company. Here's my Facebook info if you wanna.

Compare this movie to, oh, 80 percent of the movies that have won oscars throughout history, or nearly anything at an indie film festival, and I'm sure you'll find WAY more disturbing stuff to blame our nation's downfall on.

Yeah, but they're violent in AN IMPORTANT WAY

As Warofbees alluded to, one of the most laughable parts of his moral outrage is that it only seems to be an issue if he doesn't like the movie.

Just saw this....

Someone (the film makers) watch a lot of Kill Bill and Ultraviolet, don't they?

...either that or they read the series of books it's based on.

Actually both the movie and the comics were written at the same time. Millar pitched the idea then they wrote the comics and the script. So it is safe to say that ALL involved watched a lot of Kill Bill and Ultraviolet.

Yeah, she sure put me in MY place, didn't she? Showing off how supremely awesome facebook.

No, Mark Milar's a bit... unique. His equally violent, if not more so, comics first got notice in 2000-3, making them contemporaries of Kill Bill, if not predating them a tad. He's always been this way. Except when writing "Sonic The Hedgehog." I think Archie had tight reigns on him on that one.
