Hello Clarice

What a great name he has.

Caio — September 2, 2008 @ 5:31 am

That’s a ok story, not one of his best. There’s no way they can squeeze a whole movie out of it so they are probably going to fill it out with some Ayn Rand bullshit.

Fuck, I love it when Hollywood preaches to me about daily morality. Nothing like having some millionaires who are good at playing pretend and have never held real jobs telling me what to do in my off time. Thank you BRAD AND ANGELINA you certainly do live off the sweat of your own brow you FUCKING OBJECTIVIST HEROES

fuck so what happens when youre smart, strong and handsome…and have a huge cock

Paul_Is_Drunk — September 2, 2008 @ 7:20 am

That was Kurt Vonnegut? Now I like the guy even more. That was a good short story.

@Caio

Compared to what, the church preaching to you daily? Nothing like having pedophiles who have never had real jobs, who only believe in science when it makes their TV prettier, or who live in isolated communities with little contact with the real world telling you what to do in your off time.

Seriously, Hollywood is about as preachy as a SouthPark episode. It’s only their to appease the *gasp* religious people who object to movies that don’t contain some sense or morality.

Bicoid — September 2, 2008 @ 8:30 am

Hmm - all it took was for Vonnegut to die for this movie to start being made. I have a feeling the rights for this were optioned from his estate, and not from his wishes.

ack — September 2, 2008 @ 8:44 am

@fuckwhata
Then you would be me!

Celebrated author Kurt Vonnegut?

Celebrated by whom??

I was always told that Vonnegut, Melville, and Hawthorne were “classic” American authors and deserving of some respect, yet I found that their work was painful to read and thoroughly impossible to enjoy.

mAgnUS BUTTfoorson — September 2, 2008 @ 10:28 am

How is this supposed to come out in 2008 and there are still pictures but no one actually has started making it?

asdf — September 2, 2008 @ 11:18 am

some one made this a movie already but i guess they are doing a remake

kaztheberserk — September 2, 2008 @ 1:02 pm

This was actually a fantastic short story, not so much for the quality of the story, but for the message that Vonnegut was trying to get across. Basically, he’s arguing that we can’t ever make everyone equal in every way, and that everyone should thrive on their personal talents and abilities.

That being said, the ending does seem like he never quite expected to have to end the story, the entirety of the message comes across in the description of the setting.

wookie_x — September 2, 2008 @ 1:57 pm

A script doesn’t have to be particularly long. Consider the original script for the movie Army Of Darkness. It was only 43 pages long. For the TV mini-series The Stand, the book was over 1100 pages long, the script was only 460 pages. For Once Upon A Time In Mexico, the script was a whopping 45 pages long. The average motion picture script is 100 to 150 pages long. It’s actually fairly easy (technically) to make a short story into a movie.

Lord Cocksworth — September 2, 2008 @ 2:36 pm

@ ack:

Surely, since you didn’t like their works, there is not even the slightest possibility other people may have enjoyed them?

dekay46 — September 2, 2008 @ 4:16 pm

@Lord Cocksworth: It can be autism time now?

Caio — September 2, 2008 @ 5:57 pm

@paul: Church hasn’t preached to me in nearly ten years now. And before that - when my parents made me go - I never listened. What the fuck rural shithole in Bavaria do you live in that the Church has any effect on you if you don’t want it to?

You’re missing the point: Objectivism is about living off the sweat of your own brow. In theory Angelina should be more of an Objectivist Satan than Kant: She never had a job, never been poor, got her first movie roles because her dad had connections, and has cruised off of letting people film her digitally altered titties and asscrack.

She’s never contributed anything to her own existence, and has only robbed from that of others. And now she’s some objectivist?

I’m supposed to finish work, turn on a movie, and get ‘living off the sweat of your own brow’ lesson from someone who is a millionaire for letting a CGI artist remove the imperfections from her ass crack? Fuck that.

Phyreblade — September 2, 2008 @ 9:52 pm

The story was called “Harrison Bergeron”? I think I’m going to have to read that… Interesting concept, if entirely unrealistic… I seriously doubt you could call this a itopian society, all this would have done is reward mediocrity…
Elevate the average to aristocratic status, as they would be the only ones not artificially restrained in some way…

dekay46 — September 2, 2008 @ 10:06 pm

New from Apple. Your World. iTopia.

AbNo — September 3, 2008 @ 8:09 am

“all this would have done is reward mediocrity…”

Yes…. That’s actually the point of the story, to show why it’s bad to do so.

Not that anyone pays this message any heed today.

Mithik — August 7, 2008 @ 12:48 pm

It looks to follow very close to the graphic novel.

suicydking — August 7, 2008 @ 12:52 pm

Anyone who has not read the Watchmen should definitely do it right now. Before any more media or info is released on the film. On a somewhat unrelated note, I suggest the same for anyone who has not read Cormack McCarthy’s The Road.

cuteboysmakemenervous — August 7, 2008 @ 12:59 pm

hello

suicydking — August 7, 2008 @ 2:07 pm

Do I make you nervous?

Mayyday — August 7, 2008 @ 3:19 pm

Fail for having the entire “Who watches the Watchmen?” phrase visible.

Sharwnthla — August 7, 2008 @ 4:50 pm

From everything I have seen and read on the movie it looks like they are trying VERY hard to be as true to the source as they can while translating from comic to movie. I’m looking so forward to this.

Max — August 7, 2008 @ 6:43 pm

Rorschach ftw.

suicydking — August 7, 2008 @ 7:00 pm

Max, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s
Rorschach FTMFW.

Max — August 7, 2008 @ 7:21 pm

ah, touche suicy. It’s been so long, I guess I don’t recall his apocalyptic amount of win.

Dreth — August 7, 2008 @ 8:04 pm

I’m gonna go watch this even though I don’t know about it, because I hate books.

Mayyday — August 8, 2008 @ 12:29 am

Dreth, you are doing yourself a MASSIVE disservice by not reading the comic first. If you’re only going to read one thing this decade, make it Watchmen.

Lord Cocksworth — August 8, 2008 @ 3:37 am

I’m SO GLAD I read the comic before the movie hype started up, and on the other side of that coin, I’m SO PISSED I saw the V for Vendetta movie first.

Pants — June 21, 2008 @ 5:24 am

I remember the good old days, when you payed a nickel to fap to zeotrope pronz. We didn’t complain.

LOL!

how do i shot fap?

wookie_x — May 28, 2008 @ 11:06 pm

In all honesty, if you’re going to have a hot chick fighting the forces of darkness and evil, I’d prefer to see her doing it naked.

TrayShadix — May 28, 2008 @ 11:49 pm

Hey, as far as I’m concerned, restrictive clothing that hides the body to appease conservative sex-fearing bible-belts IS a force of evil. She can’t very well be a hypocrite, can she?

rattybad — May 29, 2008 @ 12:20 am

Blah. Personally I prefer an interesting costume to no costume; stories that resort to naked chicks fighting tentacles with impossibly big guns tend to be short on story—and, let’s face it, if your nom nom nom-ing poorly drawn comic book pages (q.v. anything by Michael Turner, master of generica) then you really need to move out of the basement and meet real girls. Jean Grey, Rogue, Storm, Susan Storm-Richards…all more fully clothed and far more intriguing.

Snow — May 29, 2008 @ 6:03 am

estecado fucking owns her but she is hotter

natedog — May 29, 2008 @ 7:50 am

umm, wat?

>Ever notice how a hot girl you just can’t fight the forces of evil while clothed?

me no get it

vygramul — May 29, 2008 @ 9:11 am

That’s because clothing on hot women is evil. So how can you fight evil when draped in it?

hvymetal86 — May 29, 2008 @ 10:20 pm

I’ve seen the whole anime for witchblade. If the movie is anything like that, it’ll be fucking cool as hell.

redxny — May 10, 2008 @ 11:16 am

Om nom nom nom nom nom nom!

suicydking — May 10, 2008 @ 11:23 am

It’s sad when a cosplayer looks better than the actual movie promo shot.

http://www.myconfinedspace.com.....aundryjpg/

Overall, I’m feeling disappointed in the costumes so far.

wookie_x — May 10, 2008 @ 11:42 am

It’s going to suck. GI Joe was NOT a multi-national bullshit, but the movie says it’s “Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity”. Way to puss out, Hollywood.

Phyreblade — May 10, 2008 @ 8:27 pm

Dagnabbit, all of your comments are pointing to GI Joe being an Epic Phail… That is seriously not what I want to hear…

“Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity”??!?!??!? WTH!

lee7 — May 23, 2008 @ 5:16 am

uh heh.. i heard from one of the locals over in Japan that the people who wear those are sick with a cold or whatever and wear them so they don’t spread it around..

Phyreblade — May 23, 2008 @ 8:06 pm

Yes and no… The SARS virus has become a major issue over in Japan, many people wear masks just as a preventative measure against it, as well as to keep from spreading it around…
