I saw the movie! Why come I don't remember the plot point? Can someone explain in white font.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
In both the book and the movie, Eddie Blake attempts to rape Sally Jupiter while they're both in The Minutemen. Years later, she cheats on her husband with him (and gets pregnant).
So the screenwriter is basically saying, "Sure, my movie tried to rape you, but deep down you know you wanted it."
Oops, here comes that blind rage again.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
OMG. how fucked up is that? I wasn't quite clear on all those relationship from only seeing the movie. I really am appalled by the last line in his letter given what you stated, Jessica.
Just ew.

Um. Yeah, I got nothing, except what a SERIOUS asshole.
Sadly, I suspect the mouthbreathers over at AICN are probably all Beavis&Butthead-ing over that line.

Maybe it was a really bad attempt at humor?
In an only-tangentially related note, I am reminded how one of my friends (I hesitate to use the word "meatspace" here) decided to refer to uncircumsized penii as "Hooded Justice."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

HA HA HA! rape is funny!
edit: hmm. It's possible I'm a hypocrite. I closed the window and was reminded that this is currently my wallpaper.
I think I'm most annoyed that Hayter seems to think the reason Sally slept with Eddie all those years later is because she'd been thinking about him, craving him ever since he tried to rape her. That he finishes his plea with that thought makes we wonder if he believes it's the central theme of the comic.

Dude, his name is "Hayter."
