So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

( continues...) the movie.

The movie, was, to me, when I delve into this deeply and think about it, about choice. Syndrome chose to take his brain power and be a dick. Why and how does that make Mr Incredible responsible? Why does the blame get tossed on him?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't get why it's a bad thing to be in touch with your own limitations.

God, yes. You can't be anything you want to be. Even if the rules allowed, your body and mind won't.

How is that elitist or conservative?

Full disclosure: I don't believe all the kids should get medals either. It's useless.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The impressions I have from the movie, in general, are inferations (is that word?) on my part.

Inferences.

I hate all kids getting trophies, I hate saying there are not winners and losers in games and competitions.

without feeling one bit contradictory, I really hate adults who stress only winning. I also hate presenting games and competitions as only about the outcome.

I consider myself a left of moderate social liberal.

People who use their talents, physical or mental, to hurt others - those people do not get to be heros in my world. People who use their talents to help others, even if they are egomaniacal - they do get to be heros. And as for who decides, I do.

Whew. Now I know who to send my questions to. Thank goodness it's off my shoulders. *g*
