Honestly, you really don't. I tolerated the first one but the second one put me off the whole trilogy completely. It's just such a bloated attempt at a cash-grab by making three movies instead of the one they should have done it in. Terrible acting and terrible story-telling. The action is decent but the CG is kinda in-your-face and pulls you out with lots of "that's totally green-screened" moments.

It's true, and it ruined the film. I really thought it was a crappy movie with terrible acting until I finally saw the original version. If you didn't already know, it wasn't particularly obvious that it was dubbed because the dialog was largely the same.

Also, incidentally. Gibson was born in the US, moved to Australia when he was 13, and made Mad Max when he was 18. So, I dunno. He was almost American then, and he's almost obscenely American these days. Maybe it all evens out.

I have a lot of things I think would be better, but I don't know if you mean wholly different ideas with the same setting, or things I would do different with this, or what. My criticism was mainly that elements didn't line up with each other to support the universe they created, and most of all the acting was so stilted.
If you want me to be specific about this:
They lay on that danger is around every corner, but seem to separate from one another regularly despite literally stating not to at least once.
Their attitudes and the way they move and behave in the environment are more like a couple people on vacation, and show nothing to support that this environment could kill them at any second.
I couldn't tell if the daughter was estranged from her father, because there seem to be this "get to know you" scene in the tent, but it could have easily been terrible acting. If it weren't, a single line of clarification could have surpassed that.
This stuff their collecting is extremely precious, but at a point of leisure in their tent they still have to open up their container and look at it to know how much they've collected?
Also, said resource has a stupid name. Almost as bad as "unobtainium" (I don't care if it's a real mineral, it pulls you immediately out of the story).
The girls attitude toward pursuing and killing the other soldier was almost lackadaisical.
They have pretty heavy respiratory suits, but it's possible to survive a slog through the jungle with nothing more than your head wrapped in tape with an air-hose?

I don't like long posts on the sift because at a certain point you just don't want to read anymore, so I'll stop there.

I kind of hope not. There's also lots of terrible acting, illogic and bad science. Great environment though.

Currently I'm paid mostly via commission. I work for a small company where my boss/partner and I work completely independent of any management. I have in the past been paid hourly, biweekly, etc.

It is a stretch to call people slaves, livestock, etc when they are working and exchanging goods and services in a market like ours. Granted there are inequalities, manipulations, and individuals or groups who operate with little morality.

It is a further stretch to blame government for abuses like Abu Ghraib. If 11 or so soldiers commit terrible acts. Does that mean all soldiers are bad? That the government of the country they were from are bad? It just doesn't follow.

The speaker is confused about a lot of things. Democracy is a livestock management approach? What?

Statism is not an excuse for violence. Ignorance and intolerance are. Statism is a general term.

I studied English and Philosophy in school and have continued reading a lot of utopian/dystopian literature since. My familiarity with economics and economic history pales in contrast, but the close relationship with subjects I am interested in has caused me to spend some time and consideration learning what I can.

That said, when I see a video like this I lump it into the same pseudo intellectual/science/news that things like Bill O'Reilly, TYT, Kirk Cameron, Creationists and bigots bring to mind.

Why did I watch this? Well I'm open to listening to legitimate and informative critiques of socioeconomic systems. If they are particularly good it can lead to all sorts of follow up questions and inquiries. I get bored while i'm "slaving" away at work so I put things on in the background...

Then there videos like this. There are very few facts throughout the entire video. The analogies used are misleading. The terrible acts and downfalls of groups, individuals, or particular ideologies are often blown out of proportion entirely. There is no nuanced investigation, no insights, nothing but a self satisfied narrator with droll delivery.

Thanks for rummaging through my videos for dead links. I'll pass on using my downvote on this video.

Such terrible, terrible acting. Can't you fool us for the first 10 seconds of the video, at least? You probably spent 5x as much on the cg bear as the actors.

I came back to hate on this some more. Such bullshit. If you can't see that the guy is acting for the cameras maybe you're a little too mediated.

Based on what? Just because he has a camera in his face? Have you ever been in a bobsled? I'm curious why you think he's faking.
Besides, everyone knows Frenchies make TERRIBLE actors...


Based on this looking like terrible acting, and the fact that nobody does anything these days without taping themselves.

The terrible "acting" of the host... it hurts my brain...

This guy's the host of the Fox Red Eye show, which is so painfully unfunny. In that regard, this is the funniest thing that douche-bag has ever been involved in, and only because he sits in the presence of a comedy god.

Good stuff.

I don't really even have to make stuff up. There is so much perverted goodness in Christian mythology. Lot and his daughters, David and Bathsheba and Onan would all make great porn stories. Although, in general, God seems to prefer snuff to erotica. >> ^shinyblurry:

So this bizarre interpertation wasn't really a vehicle to share religious porn titles you've sat around and dreamt up in your spare time? Okay, turn about is fair play..

This has much in common with 80's porn - The soft focus lens (smeared with holy Vaseline?), the cheesy music, the improbable story line and the terrible acting punctuating the longer hardcore theological gyrations. I think this would be more effective with Marylin Chambers and John Holmes. "Repent, heathen! On your knees and prepare to receive your new Lord and savior." You could even do a sequel and call it "The Second Cumming." How about a trilogy? "Spare the Rod, Spoil the Twins!"
I don't know. This is just off the top of my head, but I think there is some potential here.

"Looks like this is starting to catch on!!!"

No, just more terrible acting.
