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 |

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. |
Well, I would hardly say that "sci fi" and "drama" are mutually exclusive, as evidenced by tv shows such as BSG, B5 or firefly. I would lump any futuristic show into the "scifi" category (including stuff like cyberpunk), but perhaps that's just me. Indeed, I see scifi as a general subset of the overall genre, which is fantasy. |

That's most likely because David Lynch has only made one thing I would even begin to entertain the notion of possibly being considered "good" (Mulholland Drive), and even that's a stretch. |
I like Blue Velvet

I'd say it's more sci-fi than some movies posted.
Break Sci-Fi down. Science Fiction. Fiction about Science.
I'm pretty sure Children of Men falls under that category. |

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. |
So much effort and yet I just don't care anymore.
/predictable response.
:gsmile:
Also, you're the only one claiming I haven't added anything to a discussion - which is fine considering the amount of time you seem to enjoy doing little more than dissecting my posts. |

You know. You're right.
*cattily approaches Rob, a determined look in his eyes*
*in a single motion, slaps Rob square across the face with his blood-soaked man-rag, clearly indicative of an e-challenge to an e-duel* |

Don't try your little tricks on me, I'm wise to your games. You tricky gamer.
