Probably why he did it...

I really enjoyed the last two sentences of your post... the rest not so much. Not everyone watching public television is heterosexual either slug. It isn't about 'tolerance' it's about equality so you can shove that whole post right back up your ass. And it isn't women's lib(60s), it's also about equality. Now I don't know what ruined the beauty of feminism for you but I seriously think you need to turn your radar back on.

I think he might actually be watching the gay channel.  It exists...

Who are you again?

I can understand why some people might oppose it.  We actually had a discussion about it once in my Modern American Literature class at DePaul.

The discussion was about how, Despite OSC's SUPER homophobic stance IRL, he did not semm to have a problem with creating what some people believe is a semi-homosexual relationship between characters (Ender and Alai in Enders Game).  Despite the fact, that the situations people claim to be sexual seem to stem more from the effects of the world the characters live in (at least, at battle school) than any actual sexual orientation.

However, the counter to this point, was the Ender is so oblivious to anything sexual (due to his age), he even comments that Bonzo's rule about the members of his platoon not being in "skin" around Petra was stupid because it isolated her as different from the boys in the platoon.



Now, while I don't have a problem with them cutting out all of the MASSIVE amounts of nudity that they would have needed to put in (since, in reality, there was only one part of the book involving nudity that actually did anything for the plot, which they did a good job with their version of), I was VERY upset that they pulled the fact that Ender actually killed both Bonzo and Stilson, which was CENTRAL to his character development post-bugger war (when he found out about the deaths during the court-martial hearings).  They cut MANY key aspects of Ender's character development which made it seem from the beginning, that he was the "super commander", instead of growing into it as he did in the book.

Again, while I know it's stupid to expect a movie faithful 100% to the book, I was VERY disappointed in how they seemed to use nothing from the book except quotes, character names, and a few situations.  It was more like the book "inspired" the screenplay, than we converted into it.

attempting to destroy it?

Oh god...

I'm... semi-familiar, what do you need help with?

Last night was a night of some "Adventure" drinking.

It was my friends birthday, and we decided as a group, that we were going to take the "fuck it" approach, and try ANY drinks we wanted, while not juding anyone on the level of "frilly".  I have to ask:

WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE DRINK AN APPLETINI?  It's horrible.

Lemonade Shooter?  Not Bad

Midori Sour?  FUCK YES.

ARE YOU ALL TROLLING?


The casting and the SFX were good, but the movie was HELLA rushed.  Maybe it's because I red the book, and recognize that what happened in 30 days in the movie is 7 YEARS in the book.

Not to mention HOW much they cut out, and everything else.

I know movies from books aren't usually good, BUT THIS WAS A FUCKING TRAVESTY.
