The Masters Round 5
Emails are going out tonight, so check your inboxes in the morning. Let's have this round start in a timely manner :)

Also, those who volunteered to sub, just touch base with me. I have enough for this round, but I have this nagging feeling that I'm forgetting someone...

Why R U Yanks so hung up on race?
Race seems to come into everything you do.Evidence: the Zimmerman threads here. Why is the colour of a man's skin seem to be the most important to you all, rather than his character?

Democrats Hate Women?
There are a couple prominent Democrats in the news recently doing foul things towards women...and have been prominent Democrats in the past (4 examples to follow). The party line response? SILENCE. Funny, the White House openly speaks about all sorts of race issues...but on Sexual abuse by Democrats...silence. Do DEMOCRATS HATE WOMEN?

THX 1138
Anybody see this rather unorthodox piece of work? :-)
nudge (284 D)
28 Jul 13 UTC
No, but I recently watched A Scanner Darkly. Also a rather unorthodox piece of work. I am still not sure how i feel about it. The experience may have been somewhat enhanced/altered by the powerful prescription medication I was on at the time.

THX definitely makes you feel like you're on powerful prescription medication when you're watching it.

I liked THX.

A Scanner Darkly was great. It followed the book almost to the letter, which I appreciated.

THX 1138 was meh. A Scanner Darkly, however, was quite excellent. But for Lucas' first film, THX1138 showed great promise.

As for THX...

Please don't tell anyone and keep this very hush-hush... but I agree with Draug.

Phillip K Dick was pretty much a wack job. Blew his mind out on crank and went psychotic. That's why I like his writing so much. Blade Runner was a great movie but it had very little to do with the actual book. Scanner Darkly is the only movie adaptation of a Dick book i've seen that actually does justice to his work.
Draugnar (0 DX)
30 Jul 13 UTC
I don't think there has ever been a true movie adaptation of a Dick book until Scanner. None have even shared a name (Blade Runner/Do Androids Drem of Electric Sheep and Total Recall/We Can Remeber It For You Wholesale) and all have just been "inspired by".

As for THX . . . good first movie as far as directing is concerned but it was pretty derivative if you ask me.

Entertaining? not really. Any real social commentary? Nothing but hackneyed cliches.

(come to think of it, the term "hackneyed cliche" is pretty much a cliche isn't it.)

Manslaughter
I didn't follow the Martin/Zimmerman case too closely (mostly because the media turned it into a politically-charged circus, as they do most everything they latch onto), and while the stand-your-ground law is plain stupid, he was not guilty of murder under the law. However, I don't understand why he wasn't guilty of manslaughter.
