If that's what you think Battle Royal was about, then you missed the point of the movie. Go watch it again, bearing in mind WHY those kids are on that island.Machinesworking wrote:40 kids kill each other until one remains alive.what's the point of subjecting ourselves to that kind of violence?

It's still putting people into an unrealistic situation, sure the kids were all from broken homes etc. but the explanation that it was because they were rebellious, well it was a stretch I thought.Amberience wrote:If that's what you think Battle Royal was about, then you missed the point of the movie.

Never said it wasn't a good movie, but it wasn't a great movie. Almost as good as Reservoir Dogs but not quite. Not anywhere near Bullet in the Head.
Anyway enlighten me, what was the point? the girl that maybe stabbed the teacher gets out alive.

Dude! It was nothing about broken homes. It was about a government taking away the liberties of the common people and social control through violence. I thought it was very obvious.Machinesworking wrote:It's still putting people into an unrealistic situation, sure the kids were all from broken homes etc. but the explanation that it was because they were rebellious, well it was a stretch I thought.Amberience wrote:If that's what you think Battle Royal was about, then you missed the point of the movie.

The reason they were put on the island was because Battle Royale was a project initiated by the government to prevent youth disobidience. Nothing to do with coming from broken homes, and everything to do with painting a picture (however unrealistic it might've been to you) of the totalitarian mindset.

Its a fact of life your going to pass away. Whats trully sad is your friend with AIDS at 24. Where are you an that person from?Johnisfaster wrote:so my uncle has prostate cancer, my old friend david has aids and some form of cancer (he's f'ing 24), and my girlfriends friend duke just got aids and possibly a liver disorder. I'm not real close to any of these people but it certainly does hit you when you think about it.
partially it makes me want to focus on my music and produce some stuff while I'm around, and partially it makes me just think "whats the point I'm just gonna die"
by the way where did the phrase "I don't think we're gonna get out of life alive" come from? I may have botched it but thats the guist of it.
Vote for Pedro.

I'm 6ft 3, extraordinarily strong and most vicious when angered. So, given your first instinct is violence, I am sure I can deal with your "intelligence and emotional depth" if required; though it is not my preference.

Re: everyone I know is dying.
how about you head down to your local hospital and brighten up a patient's evening with some magazines, chat and fruit? Better still, winter is here, you could help out some old folks by cleaning up their garden and clipping the hedges.Johnisfaster wrote:t makes me want to focus on my music and produce some stuff while I'm around, and partially it makes me just think "whats the point I'm just gonna die".
It might cheer you up more than you realise.
If you are stressing out at your DAW having just realised your precarious position on the planet, better to sooth your soul by helping out others rather than crouching alone in your bedroom, breaking your midi controllers as you vent your spleen of mortal anguish.
Or are you just moaning for no reason and with no intention of getting off your arse to make a difference to your sombre mood?

I'm 20 feet tall with long horns and spiked clubs for hands. I benchpress train cars for fun. My father was Satan. I have extremely powerful magic that I can use to squash your head from a distance, if I feel like it. So be careful what you say.
Aside from that, it seems a little counterproductive to insult people on this board, seeing as how it's a technical forum where most people come for answers. Personally, I can use all the help I can get with Ableton, and wouldn't want to piss off people for no reason, because who knows, they might be able to help you in the future. But if you disagree, please, feel free to keep taking out your anger on the board. I'm sure you'll make many friends.
Cheers!

I can do no evil, son of satan.
I find it hard to believe insulting people has earned you the love of anyone. Should we take a poll? And about being "most vicious when angered", I hate you tell you this, but YOU decide to react with anger, which is a bit emotionally immature, wouldn't you say? Would account for the needless insults, though. Best of luck to you.the last one wrote:Everyone loves me here, I speak the truth.digitalex wrote:I'm 20 feet tall with long horns and spiked clubs for hands. I benchpress train cars for fun.

"extraordinarily strong" right... my dad is mr. T though so watch yourself.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

I am clearly superior to you in my reasoning. You've been pwned, you must be quite embarrassed. I won't make this any more awkward for your ego by continuing to trash you with my cogent logic, greater intelligence, reason and insight.

So much hate for someone who is going to die. You better repent before your life is over, you can't go carrying around all this negative baggage!Johnisfaster wrote:

Clearly. And it's a good thing then I don't know what being pwned means. Ok, I can't take it anymore. Please stop trashing me with your incredible logic, intelligence, reason, and insight. Well, maybe you can trash me with logic and reason. I haven't gotten those two programs down yet, but then again, cds are pretty light, so I fail to see how you could trash me with them, unless you snap them in half in stab me while I'm sleeping, but there's still a good chance I would wake up and defend myself by squashing your head with my magic at close range, which is much more painful than from a distance.the last one wrote:I didn't insult anyone.
