OT: A movie I would pay to see....

[geoschmo]

Anybody see Michael Douglas in "Falling Down"?

I am a pretty passive person. I do like to argue sometimes and have been known to get angry occasionally, but I would never hurt a person. I support the death penalty for certain heinous crimes, but I don't believe in indiscriminant vigilantism. However, I have about had it up to here with spam.

If someone wanted to make a movie about an ordinary guy who snaps and goes on a killing spree hunting down, maiming, torturing and murdering people who do spam for a living in all sorts of terrible painful ways, I would go several times and enjoy it thouroughly.

It actually might be kind of cathartic and prevent me from doing something like this in reality.

I think Geo needs some psychological care...

Many people on these Boards could use some; however, most aren't dangerous (unless you try to take away their copy of SEIV, or have a Beta copy of Starfury and won't let them play it).

I sense some hostility.... but I agree.

"Falling Down" is one of the best movies ever. On an marginally related note, have you noticed how much it follows an RPG or Survival Horror formula.

• The player character is clearly separated and alienated
• He has a clear goal toward which he works
• He receives weapons, and gear, of escalating power from opponents of escalating threat
• He regularly repeats a simple action (to save game, call wife)
• Nice closing plot twist

Hmm... maybe the similarity is not as strong as I thought.

Sounds like an excellent plot for Terminator 4. I'd pay to see that.

Depends on the RPG.
