Ooh, did you tame me, Rob? Did you quell that friskiness inside of me with your generous logic? :stongue:
ing Christ, you are the only one who entertains these ideas. And Nou is right - you are intentionally patronising all of the time. Which would be ok if you were entertaining or brought something of substance to a discussion rather than - dare I say? - the very same quasi-intellectual pedantry you so often espouse is your pet-peeve?
Here's how the next response would go were I not to mention its formula:
[blarg, blarg, blarg, your argument is this, but it shouldn't be that because that isn't this, my argument is better, etc]
Oh, but then we all get to witness one of those exceedingly juvenile acts to which there truly is no predictable comparison here on TA
[patronising adage or bull cockney usually meant in some really uncontrolled sarcasm followed by a smiley of some sort (note: if smiley does not appear at the end of this particular response, it will most certainly make an appearance in the next one)]
I've cracked the code, where do I collect my prize for arguing, not only over the internet, but in a science fiction movie thread over the internet?
//Oh, and Star Wars is science fiction you tit. |

Is that really a sci-fi movie though? Sci-fi becomes pretty meaningless if you use it to describe everything that has vague futuristic themes. I've always thought of children of men as a drama (and a good one at that), not sci-fi. |

I agree with that. |

Yeah. It's really true to the book...the dialogue is pretty much word for word. My only complaint would be that it doesn't delve far enough into the Bene Gesserit motives...but then it's a 3 disc DVD and I still haven't watched the 3rd one. :p
I didn't like Ian McNeice as Baron Harkonnen either. Way over-acted. |

Yeah. I love drama and hate sci-fi (sorry to say that in this thread), so I was really puzzled about that. As a matter of fact, I came here because I wanted to ask what kind of science fiction a drama lover would like... and that confused me :p
I mean, is there some kind of cyberpunk drama? |

hmm... that's not really cyperpunk. If it were, she would have bionic arms, her computer would try to swallow her, and the bad guys would try to hack her mind rather than her computer, which would be busy trying to swallow her anyway :p |
