What I find funny is this. I was watching 'Total Recall' yesterday on Scifi. I noticed they took great pains to edit out the words "shit" and "ass" etc. from the dialog, and blur out Sharon Stone's partial nipple in the opening scene, but when Arnold uses a guy on the escalator as a human shield and he gets shot repeatedly causing big gaping bloody holes, that was shown in all it's glory no editing or blurring at all.

The message is quite clear. Cussing and sex is bad and unacceptable. But killing people and death is perfectly OK.

That said, I don't think this is so terrible it should be removed. Like Hybrid said, it's all over the news. And no one here is forcing you to click play.

Very well done, and I did enjoy the *animation. But I can see how it might not necessarily add that much to the story. Alternatively they could have written in some dialogue maybe like:



"Supe: Here's the crystal spaceship that I used to travel back to Krypton to search for my family. (gestures to ship/part of ship/model/picture of ship/10 second cutscene of ship...)

Lois: Did you find anyone/anything?

Supe: Only a rock filled with Kryptonite (and loneliness.)

End scene!"

4 minutes and 9.75 million dollars saved!

With the advent of superb digital animation (such as this) too many films try to cover up poor planning/writing and ultimately sacrifice good story-telling with, well, high-production cartoons and special effects.

to be honest, it's a bit too long, but I kinda liked it. With better editing they could have left it in.

ROFL! The guys standing behind her in that pose make this scene really awkward. Like the opening scene of a porn movie.

Art and entertainment are not mutually exclusive, nor are they dependent... the same goes for your personal tastes and the quality of a film.


I mean I could draw a venn diagram if you'd like...

Pretentious Hipster Rubbish.
The new generation of beatniks claiming they are brilliant minds because their poetry doesn't rhyme.
He tipped out the water to be ironic. This movie is only cool it if stays 'indie' and underground.



>> ^Mammaltron:

Sounds like a great excuse to just film whatever you feel like and not bother with a good story.

No reason!

If god is responsible for the earthquake and tsunami, why did he make them look like natural disasters instead of making them look like an act of god?
No Reason.

he was riffing on insane clown posse.

The logic behind this just doesn't stand up. Several of the things he said clearly did / do have reasons. Unless, has character talking complete arse is contextually important in the film, I'm calling bullshit on this one...
