Anyone as excited as I am for the Ender's Game movie coming out?

I'm interested.

Seems that they upped the ages of the kids though. Maybe having 9 year olds murder each other would not play well in the burbs.  :hmm:

Yeah, they deal with enough of that as it is.

Man, Revolution is shite.
I think it's getting better.

Though I think once they win against Monroe, that Georgia President won't be any better.

You'd think you'd know how to spell that properly on this forum.

You'd think a lot of things.

Ide, I'm not surprised you'd say that.
PDH!

Indeed.

Can discuss more fully when I'm not on my phone.

I figured that out after the synopsis.

Game of Thrones, Battlestar Galactica, Dr Who, Lost(though it didn't reveal its absurdity til later) are all quality shows in spite of being unbelievable. I could have looked past the absurdity of the "electricity stops working(for most people)" scenario. It's the network family drama vibe that turned me off.

Yeah.  I'm the one you need to look out for.  Not Eddie Teach and his crediting the uncreditable.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
