Disgusting opening battery


I was so disgusted by the murdering battery Law performed in the opening scenes at the garage, I turned the film off. Didn't see the rest in case it had the same ethos throughout.
Such a beating is murder. Noone could survive that sort of beating. And to slap this on to young impressional minds is devastating for the people they in their turn will beat up.

It is completely deplorable and definitely not accepted.

Disgusting.

Relax dude, it's a movie. Is it okay to to get shot dead like in hundreds of films released each year? Your loss, pretty good film in which the violence de escalates after the part which frightened you off. Just what did you expect from a film an ex con just released from prison?

reply

Very much old enough to understand how young impressionable minds react to this kind of trash. Seeing the outrageous horrors young people do to each other (stomping on heads etc) violence porn like this must come with a warning declaration that repeated trauma to head can and will lead to death.
I can easily deduce your age.

reply

How old are you? Didn't you see the movie rating? And besides it is a MOVIE which mean 200% of the stuff goes on in there is fake.

reply

Well, first of all young minds DO watch cap like this (they also have guns. You go figure).
Secondly, young minds watching this grow up with the notion that hitting people in the head is not too dangerous. Not sure that your use of the word "stupid" can hide your age, but it does tell of your level of maturity.
Thirdly, as I do like documentaries, I am sadden that this kind of crap is labeled as Entertainment. The correct label is "Crap", and should come with a warning that excessive trauma to head can indeed lead to death, but also stupidity. Guess you've seen this sort of tripe one time too many.

reply

First of all: "Young minds" shouldn't be watching this movies.
Second: It's not about "young minds", unless you are talking about little children, someone has to be stupid to change his ways because a movie
Third: It seems it is you the one who is unable to tell the difference between fiction and real live. Go watch documentaries.

reply

Hehe...well, you see, I'm not like you. You seem already to be a lost cause. Not able to understand the consequences of brainwashing is rife in our world. That's why you need more and more violence. Like a drug.
No, this can't end well for you. Sorry.

reply

Maybe it won't end well for me, but for you has not even started. Get a life.

I have never used violence in my whole life, watching movies has nothing to do with that. Most people I know defending stupid ideas like you are doing are the ones who thinks that TV has to educate the children. In my case, my parents didn't acted like that and did their job, that's why I can watch any kind of movies without blaming them for my personal issues.

P.S.: I don't even liked the movie, but I'm not stupid enough to understand that the violence is fictional.
P.S.2: Some of the greatest movies ever has plenty of violence, like plenty of Scorsese's or Coppola's movies.

When you learn to write and spell, and stop calling things stupid, you'll be old enough to have a say in these matters.
Merry Christmas to you too.

reply

When you learn, not a second, but a third language (which is what english is to me) at the level I speak and write english, come again to lecture me about my spelling.

When you stop being so insultingly condescendent ("this won't end well for you", "you seem to be a lost cause") you can expect people not to think you're acting stupid. You are trying to guess our age reading our comments. Seeing the way to high image you have of yourself, and that you see as facts your completely subjective opinions; I don't know how old are you, but you are still in the "id" pshycology phase. You need to mature a lot just to reach a standard level.

EDIT: BTW, using the fallacy ad hominem doesn't help you at all. If at the moment you are confronted the only thing you are able to do is attack the person (not the ideas) and end your lack of arguments with a "you'll be old enough to have a say in these matters" the only thing you're proving is that you have no arguments at all.

Merry Christmas to you too.

reply

Lol...so many words saying absolutely nothing. That is a shame. But keep on trying.
Nevertheless...when just a few percent of the numbnuts think it's ok to go to town on someone's head, the message of that film...or for some, a TV game...the damage is done. I am sure you will grow up and come to understand this.

reply

Oh, ok, I see now that you're only one of the internet trolls that have such a sad life that actually is fun for them just go around bothering people making stupid statements. It's the only explanation for you to not understand something as simple as I'm explaining and keep on with the same senseless message over and over again, while being as pedantic as you are. Ok, one day you will grow up, mature, and realize what a waste your life has been.

Now that I know that you are only an idiot, I will proceed to ignore you so I can't even read any of your posts, I don't have time to wait until you have the (mental) age to behave as a normal person.

reply

The saddest part of your barrage is that you don't seem to notice you are being very aggressive, rude and "violent" in your writings. Ever stopped and wonder why you are so ridiculously angry? Could it be that you have indulged in too many violence - porn flicks?
I really do think you need to see somebody about your anger issues. This before someone rubs you the wrong way IRL.

I belive my point is proven.

reply

Could also be that you're antagonizing him.

Just a thought.

reply

I was wondering if you got English writing classes for Christmas. It was pretty funny for you to criticize another, when your writing is atrocious.

I would say my memory is not what it used to be. But I don't remember what my memory used to be.

reply

You need bother your young mind any longer. It is of no concern of yours.
Just carry on with your mob mentality somewhere else. Not appreciated here. It is also very telling of your mental age.

reply

How many languages do you speak? I hope English is way down the list!

reply

I understand young, immature minds have difficulties in accepting other people's points of view. This could stem from being the only, spoilt brat. Worry not. Usually maturity comes with time...but maybe not in every case.
If you have trouble understanding the words or sentences ask your parent to help you.

reply

I am not worried in the slightest. Just calling out a buffoon who has the audacity to criticize the writing skills of someone for whom English is clearly not their first language. Yet when one looks at the mess you have written, it brings about much laughter. Thanks for the chuckle!

reply

I suspect no close relative will have the mental capacity to help you with the more intricate parts of the text. Perhaps someone at school can help you?
I think you must learn not to let certain things bother you. Best for your own peace of mind.

reply

Do not concern yourself with me or my relatives. You have enough to worry about. You need to print out what you wrote and take it to a second grade teacher so they can help you.

reply

Just trying to be helpful and supportive. You also need to learn to be able to accept good advice without going mental. Going mental is not a good trait in your personal makeup when you do enter the real world.
Teacher time again?

reply

I would help you but you cannot afford it. Check with a teacher in an inner-city school. They are underpaid and might be willing to help you on your meager budget. Then again, it may be too late for you. Maybe you were once only a little below average but those days are long gone.

reply

Oh good grief, Martin. You have no clue on how petty and crass you come across here. You have really demonstrated your holier than thou type attitude, but in the end, your rampant immaturity and incredibly childish responses just shines through. Your total failure at any pretense of psychoanalysis earlier in is really quite laughable.

Despite your belief otherwise you are quite an ignorant yet totally insignificant obstreperous little snot who seems have have a pretty large ego and someone who takes great delight in informing others how much lower they must be on the evolutionary scale compared to as you. In reality you are like the rest of us (myself included) and are just another no-name schmuck.

Having access to a dictionary has no bearing on maturity and intelligence - facets you are seemingly sadly lacking in if this thread is anything to go by. You really have this delusional belief you have the first clue as to what you're talking about when it's painfully obvious to everyone else here that you lost that with your very first post.

It's really very very sad and you seriously need to get a life.

reply

Grew up watching the Three Stooges and, wonder of wonders, never once had the urge to hit someone in the head with a hammer or run a hand saw across their skull. Come to think of it... those Buggs Bunny cartoons were pretty violent also what with Elmer Fudd shooting Daffy repeatedly in the face with a shotgun... (Oh no!)

reply

Good for you, but especially good for the rest of us. 90% of us react and act the same way as you...but the remaining 10% who go mental watching this *beep* are the ones you read about every day in the good old US shooting people left and right.
Surely you understand this?

reply

The movie actually started off with Dom Hemingway's dick in another dude's mouth. Aren't you worried that will lead impressionable young kids to homosexual behavior? If you're letting your kid watch a rated R movie that clearly warns its audience about graphic language, nudity, and violence before the feature starts, you should be prepared to see exactly that. I'm not sure if you're a troll or just an idiot.

reply

If you are unsure, I'd say that makes you the less intelligent one. Calling people names, also, puts you in the kindergarten slot.
Just learn to behave. Being abusive is not a nice thing. When you grow up you'll learn to appreciate this.

reply

Practically your whole presence in this thread has consisted of calling others names and verbally abusing them. I won't stoop to your level and follow in that pattern of name-calling, but know that it's pretty clear from the other responses that no one agrees with you and you should just move on. Frankly, I'd rather have my head bloodied by Dom Hemingway than read another word of this tripe.

reply

As you must try to understand I did not stoop to attacking other people OR their opinions. I wanted to express my feelings about this tripe of a product. Not so popular, it seems. But so what? Is MY opinion worth any less than anybody else's?
To attack my english, which by the way is my THIRD language, is ridiculous, childish and infantile. This whole thread reeks of "The lord of the flies". I imagine you will have to look this specific reference up.

Also, as you might struggle to understand, I couldn't give a flying fart for your opinion.
Now, *beep* off..?

reply

I want to know what the OP watches as a kid so I can make sure my children stay far away from that. I'd rather have a violent child than a self-righteous dickhead who doesn't understand the difference between fiction and reality.
