Well i watched this today, oh my god how disgusting!!! This aint for the faint hearted honestly, its not like jumpy scary but just plain horrible. But still was an excellent follow up after the first two. Overall very good and think it deserves an 8/10.
 
I assume - and I'm making a quantum leap of imagination here - that the films are about sawing up live people, causing them as much anguish, agony and distress as possible?

I'm amazed that anyone doesn't find the unending, daily images of bloodied and blown-apart Afghans, Pakistanis and Iraqis enough to feed their blood lust.

I wonder why, when the world is in a high state of brutality and cruelty, that bloodthirsty films and video 'games' like Grand Theft Auto thrive? Aren't there enough examples all around of the REAL shit humans do to each other, one-on-one and internationally, without making them up for sale?

Real life doesn't have as good a soundtrack.
 
GTA has some pretty gruesome trailers, simmo - I suppose it's not on video any more, is it, it's on some interractive triple-reverse double-somersault CD-ROM, but ya niggaz do be killin' a whole mass a chicos, right, just sliding' down the sidewalk and blam! blam! blow him away, man! get that pig! blam! an' the blood an' all be righteously runnin' in the street (carries on in similar vein for 45 minutes). More yo-yo-ing than a yo-yo convention. SOOOO stereotypical, I'm amazed that the NAACP hasn't intervened.
 
:shy: Sheeeyit! Cha! I tight wiv da Norf Laine massive, my man, so don't you be disrepectin' me, ya heah? We give ya da Brighton rock, it ain't gonna be no sticks a' candy we puttin' round ya feet, yunnerstan?

Damn, I'm almost too bored to respond now. But here goes....

The style of the Grand Theft Auto games is extremely cartoony, if you're looking for videogames to enhance the point that you've made then I would suggest the following is more pertinent:

Manhunt (Game premise is that you are creating a snuff movie for someone in order to gain your freedom, involving assorted nasty ways to kill people). The violence in this is sadistic and the weak premise that you are fighting for your life fails to engender any sense of it being "right" or "good" which would at least give it some purpose.

GTA is essentially no worse than a videogame version of any number of gangster movies, so if you accuse one then the rest should follow and if the rest follow then there where do you stop?

I'm sorry you're bored, simmo.

Why? Did you cause it?

My boredom has more to do with growing up in an instant gratification society - a world where I try to start an <s>argument</s> discussion but after 30 seconds or so of waiting, I find my mind drifting back to questions of why the whiteboard in front of me is so fucking white, why the dancing Elvis who is stuck to the whiteboard in front of me isn't Fat Dead On The Bog Elvis and perhaps most importantly, why that girl over there with the very purdy mouth isn't under my desk performing an act of oral gratification on me in an attempt to relieve my boredom.

I suspect that it is because she doesn't care that I am bored.

And that Fat Dead On The Bog Elvis wouldn't sell so good.

If only I had videogames in work where I could slice people's heads off with a machete, or smash their skull in with a baseball bat, or fire nails from a nailgun into their eyes..........

No idea about that fucking whiteboard though.

P.S. Merlin, if you're reading this and would like me to be banned sine die due to the content, then stop. Cease reading my posts if you don't like them. ;)
 
Yes it is.

If it were to actually be used for the purpose which I presume it was placed there then it would be covered in glorious scrawlings of useful telephone numbers and important information about impossibly important events, which would at least give me something to read.

Now please stop drawing my attention back to it.

Careful now. I think K expressed some concern earlier that you were bored.
 
Personally, I like Simmo being bored. It brings out a little white something in him. Hopefully, not in front of the Purdy lookalike though. :what:

I'm so glad at times that my name is Christine.
 
I feel slightly embarassed now. :shy:

Although if anyone wants to volunteer, it will give me the opportunity to prove just how inapt Kathy/Christine's 11th word is. ;)
