There's nothing quite like fining out you don't know as much as you thought you did, especially when it's something you should know.

Today's Wordsmith.org's Word of the Day: Dystopia.
"An imaginary place where everything is very bad, as from oppression, disease, deprivation, etc."

Here I thought dystopia was an imaginary place where,

I still haven't seen Brazil, or Farenheit 451, but at least I read the book. It's good.

A Scanner Darkly was good, as was V For Vendetta. I freaking loved that movie.

I didn't like Blade Runner the first time I saw it, because it was the Director's Cut and I thought it made no sense. I watched it recently and liked it. =)

I've been putting off watching Metropolis for years. I had it on a triple feature "silent horror films" DVD, but don't know if I took it to Movie Stop or not. I'm surprised it beat out A Clockwork Orange for number one. Oh well.

You are the second person to do this in the past couple weeks. I have to police you guys. :)

I'm guessing you haven't verified your age with LJ, lol. I've yet to see a filtered anything. I verified mine a while back so the powers that be might realize LJ isn't just for 15-year-olds. (I think most of them immigrated to MySpace.)

Oh my God, "Brazil" is awesome. "They Live" on the other hand has one of the most gratuitously drawn out fight scenes EVER....I mean they just keep getting up. Somebody's GOTTA stay down eventually, right???

[ophelialaughs]

Heehee. To the tune of "you might be a redneck"... If people are leaving to go to the bathroom, your fight scene might be too damn long. If people leave for beer and come back and it's still going on, your fight scene might be too damn long.

There's epic and there's shoot me now.

If people leave for beer, wait in line at the airport, fly to Germany, celebrate Oktoberfest IN IT'S ENTIRETY, sober up, stop off in Amsterdam on the way home, wait in line for their luggage, wait for a cab, get stuck in traffic, feed the dog, change the cat box, have some epic sweet lovins with the wife, answer the phone, check their email, grab a quick snack and the fight scene is still going on.............
