Quote from: SlowPokemon on February 24, 2012, 05:10:31 PMAaah I know Pulp Fiction is a great movie, SFK. I just haven't had time and I'm kinda hesitant cause apparently it's outrageously violent, though after Sweeney Todd I don't think it could be THAT bad....

I wouldn't call pulp fiction outrageously violent, but then again I haven't seen it in a while and I watch movies like Battle Royale. It's nothing compared to that final seen in Kill Bill Vol 1, that's for sure.

SoulCalibur is my favorite fighting game. I just got V and have been refraining from playing it in order to do homework quite a bit. Haha.
I'd be totally down to play anyone online. I haven't tried that yet.

Quote from: MasterPenguin on July 05, 2008, 05:00:00 AMHorrifying truth? We're all going to be fat people one day, and slide down a star-ship when the ship tilts?

It did have a few hidden messages.

disclaimer: I know this is an old thread. BUUUUUUUUT... I'm new. And wasn't here to give my two sense last July. D<

I, actually wrote an essay of Wall-e and the hidden messages it teaches children. I think some of the most compelling imagery was when one of the fat characters falls from his chair and needs robotic assistance to get him back up. Of course, seeing earth as an abandoned wasteland was enough for most, but watching humans communicate through translucent monitors that float in front of them and not understand an experience outside their chair was crazy personal. I think it was something children could subconsciously lach onto.

When I interviewed a couple 7-ish-year-olds about the film, none of them wanted to talk about the fat people, apocalyptic planet, or environmental messages. They all wanted to talk about Wall-e and Eve and various scenes that made them laugh. I like to believe the subtle imagery with the axion stuck with the children, however. I mean, half the movie was set on the spaceship after all.

The only flaw I might but in the hidden messages is, however much I hate to bring it up, the sexist roles of wall-e and eve. Though if we ignore their genders we see a very real relationship between two characters. Eve's feelings of determination portrayed through her refrain of pleasure and initiative attitude was something I could really connect with. The less than curious loneliness Wall-e felt was enough to make anyone's heart mush-up.

And, now for one of the greatest quotes ever said in a movie:
"I don't want to survive, I want to live!" - Axion Captain
