Silver Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 good, i had started to read it but had put it back on the self to do other things. i'll have to get it back out before i see the dvd.
Mission Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I got this through NF recently. I enjoyed it and thought some of the extras were decent. It was an interesting dilemma for the captain and, in a broader sense, a rather curious commentary on society. (I think I came away with a different view than the movie suggested.) But it makes you think...that's a good movie for ya'. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Pew Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Interesting. Several of my students are reading this for their senior literary criticism paper. Bonus points for movie criticism . . . , Skull and Quill Society , The Watch Dog "We are 21st Century people who play a game of dress-up and who spend a lot of time pissing and moaning about the rules of the game and whether other people are playing fair."
