The puppy was found with a bunch of dogs being extreminated because they caused feelings of love and caring. Our hero rescues one, puts it in his trunk and then tries to set it free in the perimeter. It lurves him and won't leave. Hero sighs exasperatedly and then leaves. We don't see the fuzzball again until the explosions happen at the end. The daughter looks up, smiles creepily and we see the dog licking her hand...thus affirming the just-having-been-rightedness of the world.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Because it's rigidly mechanical? If you're going to extrapolate the divestment of human expression, add a tool to the mix, and a highly engineered one to boot. And then make damned sure it's the purest of kata -- programmed responses to stimuli, no improvisation.
Damn. You're good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn. You're good.

He's more naked in Metroland, although at the time he hadn't put in enough gym work to make it as worthwhile.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There are pretty much two reasons to see Equilibrium :
3) Sean Bean.

I know. But they were a good five minutes.
I'm going to go see that stupid Nicholas Cage movie where he's a treasure hunter because Sean Bean's the bad guy in it.

move out and draw fire
I moaned out loud in the theater during previews: "Why'd it have to be Nick Cage?!?" Because otherwise, cheesy Masonic secrets and Sean Bean put my butt in a seat.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm going to have to see it just because it looks like a big messy crazyheaded conspiracy theory nutfest with historical costuming and treasure maps and maybe even Knights Templar. The only thing that could possibly stop me from seeing such a movie would be if it starred Richard Chamberlain and Marc Blucas.
