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

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.

I can't think of anything funny to say but I do think that Slynky and the gang should continue the strategy of "Let the Wookie Win"

Falling down was an excellent movie.

T4's plot has already been laid out. The machines have taken over, and begin to build the Matryx...

yes, Falling Down is a classic.
Can never work out why it is on the $9.99 list most of the time at Best Buy etc.

Yeah, my wife and I picked up the DVD somewhere. Just had to have it. If for nothing else, the scene at the fast food restaurant...
