Sub20 BMIs? You are aware that by that number a person would be effectively skin and bones? bellow 60 BMI is considered unhealthy already. i know a lot of acress keeps it at minimum required 60 BMI limit (else they actually arent allwoed t be in the business due to self-harm) but 20 BMIs are just ridiculous.Ariseishirou said:I don't live in America but I've traveled there often and at no point have I ever walked through an American city or small town and encountered nothing but people with sub-20 BMIs.
Erm... no. Sub-20 is the lower end of "healthy". Above 40 is "very severely obese". Above 60 would be a land whale.Strazdas said:Sub20 BMIs?

whooops, was thinking of BMI prime (named differently in local language). my mistake, you are correct hereAriseishirou said:Erm... no. Sub-20 is the lower end of "healthy".

Google's your friend, mate.
Pun intended?Jim Sterling said:...a FARCRY from Uwe Boll's usual gratuitous style
Well, the young gentleman you see there goes on a bit of a rampage, killing quite a number of people - violently. He's portrayed as a rather normal type of guy - imagine the ubiquitous "he was a nice neighbour!" line - before he takes to dressing up and shooting people dead.JimB said:I've never seen the movie, and your description of it certainly makes it sound interesting enough to watch, Mr. Sterling, but I'm afraid the film hit a one of my buttons. That scene at the end of your video, where he chats with the cornered woman before murdering her, is one of those things that I just can't abide. The moment a killer starts toying with someone he intends to murder, he becomes irredeemably reprehensible to me, and I don't enjoy watching movies about people I loathe.
I emphasize that none of my complaints above should be construed as criticism of your video, sir.
And all that's fine. I just don't want to watch it. The character is a hateful shithead, and I deal with hateful shitheads all day in real life. I watch movies so I can get away from hateful shitheads and laugh at pot-smoking teddy bears or green gorillas beating up space whales or whatever.Headdrivehardscrew said:[various stuff about why the movie is important]
It's kind of horrifying that normal-sized people are now apparently unrealistic...Ariseishirou said:Nice review, Jim. Haven't seen it, but based on the clips you showed, there's just one problem in taking that one seriously in terms of gritty realism: why is everyone Hollywood thin?
I don't live in America but I've traveled there often and at no point have I ever walked through an American city or small town and encountered nothing but people with sub-20 BMIs. It just smacks "dude goes on a rampage and kills a bunch of actors" as opposed to "dude goes on a rampage and kills and bunch of people" to me and ruins the suspension of disbelief.
Exactly what I was thinking. Who is this movie for? Who would want to watch it without being forced to? And is the protagonist (no fucking way he's even an anti-hero) actually Uwe Boll's Author Surrogate character, and it's just his own warped power fantasy put to film?JimB said:And all that's fine.

Hate to burst your bubble there man, but in most college towns when you are down town it is filled with thin people (though I wouldn't call them all beautiful). That isn't to say there aren't a few, but it is close enough to reality when it comes down to it.Ariseishirou said:But everyone's speaking in an American accent.DVS BSTrD said:I wouldn't call this American violence, I'd call it violence.
Where do you live, then? CDC stats list the average BMI of every single state but Utah as overweight, and Utah is under by a sliver (http://www.insureme.com/insurance/bmi-index-state)>Hollywood thin? Really? I must live in Hollywood then.
I think it's "Starbucks" and yes, I absolutely have. And there were plenty of fat people in it. Or are you suggesting that they stuff them full of thin people on purpose during election years for the cameras? Because that proves my point, really.You've obviously never eaten in a StarBucks during an election year.
People who don't realize that murderers and monsters are still human beings with human motivations, and that violence is ugly and not dramatic, I suppose. And that's not a bad purpose for a movie; it really and truly isn't. However, I already know these things, and don't want to watch this movie. I am not pissed off enough by the five seconds of footage I'm griping about to make a stink over it if I'm at someone's house and they toss the disc into the 360, but I certainly have no interest in seeking it out for myself, nor even of watching it on TV if there's a rerun of Law & Order I could be watching instead.Darth_Payn said:Who is this movie for?
thanks for this i was feeling bad about thinking this film looked awesome guess im not alone in that after all.SonOfVoorhees said:Saw this movie a few times, its awesome, clever in its way with the ending. How the main character planned everything and how he did it. Worse part is, he is a likable guy.
Just seems his game related movies suck ass.
