Elysium:

[BadgeBunny]

We saw Elysium today. As most of you probably know, the premise is all the rich people live in a ultra luxurious space station known as Elysium. They lead lives of leisure and are free of disease and old age. The rest of the population lives on a devastated earth in abject poverty. Los Angles looks like a poor shanty town in Mexico or Africa. Everyone speaks Spanish. Disease and misery are the daily lot of the masses. Shuttles of refugees regularly attempt to land on the station so that they can use the medical beds (look like tanning beds). Conspicuously absent is the Middle Class.

I won't spoil the plot, but the message was clear to me. Capitalists are evil. The poor and downtrodden have a right to lie, steal, and kill to take what they want from the both "the system" and the wealthy. No where are there any references to hard work and bettering oneself.

Pure propaganda.

Wwwweeeeelllllllllllllll ... that's subtle ... I don't think I wanna see this now ... Thanks for saving me the money.

When does this "team" ever shoot? I'm all over the state every weekend looking for them?

I've seen those guys shoot ... At several matches even. They ALL (Keelty, S4F, PH, Positive Discontent) came out in the top 1/3 at a Steel Challenge at USSA one weekend ... I'd not make too much fun if I was you ...

Sounds a lot like the movies "Total Recall" with Ah-nuld or "Demolition Man" with Sly Stallone.

Any good instructional material there? If this country continues the way it's going it won't be long before a lot more of us can count ourselves among the "poor and downtrodden" and might benefit from the tips.

Matt Damon wears a really cool apparatus.

Sounds like the Democraps are still in charge.

 

[AKguy1985]

I want to see it.

 

[kd5rjz]

What an original idea for a movie. lol.

 

[turkeyrun]

Wouldn't go see it anyways, but the premise doesn't surprise me at all.

Did go see 2Guns, wasn't GREAT, but wasn't bad either. May have disclosed al bit more truth on the gooberment agencies.

I feel like demolition man sent the opposite message.

"this fascist crap makes me wanna puke!"

The protagonists were fighting against a nanny state for their liberty, not for free crap.
