A friend of mine who has read LOTR many times claims there is a special place
in hell for P Jackson for what he did to the character of Faramir

I know this was just discussed recently. I generally liked LOTR. But the part
that bugged me the most, was playing the "city of dead" card, where are the
deads formed an unbeatable army. GMAFB.
I'm still waiting for my Shmiegal bobble head. It's been on my Christmas list
for the last five years.
Oh well.

That's what sells movies these days or at least that's what the studios think -
that's what I hated about the butchery Peter Jackson did on the Hobbit and the
Lord of the Rings - not that the books lack for fight scenes but Jackson (who
is definitely not a REAL Jackson) had to put a lot of unnecessary violence in
them just to put butts in seats.

I thought the concept had potential, but shortly after it began, that took a
back seat to all car chases, and and low orbit chases, and non stop explosions.
I can't even recall much about it at this point. I've kind of erased it from
my memory.

Well that review will get audiences to the theaters although time is running
out for a theater view. Probably the DVD/Bluray release is only a few months
away. Sony doesn't waste any time.
Not everyone understands science fiction. I've written before
about how few movie reviewers "get" horror and science fiction
films. Of course "Elysium" is no Bourne Identity because the
latter is based off books. But there are a lot of people bashing
"Elysium" because they don't like it's message. The message is
about now and the 99% vs the 1%. Elysium is a orbiting community
where in the future the 1% have moved. Obviously a metaphor of a
"gated community". Alex Jones bashed the film as being
"anti-white" thats because Los Angeles in the future is mostly
Hispanic. But geez, California was part of Mexico before it
became a state. A Latino ghetto (Damon plays a Latino) sells the
poverty element better than a "white ghetto" would have. Neill
Blomkamp's prior film was "District 9" which was about apartheid.
