Children of Men

Looks like the opposite of the ol' Polish "Sexmission" might be funny to watch (no I couldn't see the trailer - no quicktime here) or it might be a philosophically overloaded saving the world again crap

 

Interesting looking flick. I will go see this. It has to be radiation causing the sterility. Pop, your avatar is quite freaky, it reminds me of a manchick I saw in Sao Paulo.

 

Interesting. In most of the stories in this vein, all the men are dead.

 

Kind of looks like a high-budget non-violent 28 Days later. I still don't see why people would get so pissed off about women not being able to have children though.

 

Bwahahaha! Down with our condom oppressors!

 

Yeah, I mean it can only be a good thing. Not worry about anyone getting pregnant, no poopy pants and waking up in the middle of the night for a few years because of screaming, no teen rebellion, etc.

You don't lose your job when you turn 40 because some young lion with a fancy education takes over after you, no young people roaming the streets vandalizing things and robbing people. No bullying, no school budget.

But sure, I can understand the feeling of a total lack of purpose. The desperation of knowing that the Human race will end in 50 years, that the Earth will forget us. That nature will carry on, and overwhelm millenia of accomplishments. Visitors to the planet will come upon odd ruins if they dig deep enough, ruins that tell the tale of a species that ultimately destroyed itself because of its own greed and short-sightedness. Noone will be able to tell them our tale. No children to carry on the thoughts and memories of the ancients, no bold explorers or innovators taking over space, expanding endlesly.

Why the UK though?

 

So, where does greed and short-sightedness factor into all women being barren?

Also, the next 50 years would be the new time of poopy pants.

 

They did mention pollution as a possible factor. And I think that's what the movie wants to convey.

 

Pshaw. Environmental disasters are such an old meme when it comes to this type of sub-genre.

It would've been better if the cause had been left a mystery, like Y: The Last Man. Then again, they probably aren't trying to tell a good story, but a moral play.

These guys never watched The Outer Limits? Not the old one, I mean the new one that kinda sucks donk because they love gratuitous partial nudity.

 

I can't help but laugh at the trailer.

Acclaimed director of Harry Potter and The Prizoner of Azkaban? What? Adding to the effect is the "dun dun DUN!" music playing along with it. Classic.

 

Harry Potter just doesn't speak "classy" to me, y'know?

 

This movie actually look pretty interesting. I'm definitley going to see it.

Also, Clive Owen FTW.

 

But it won't be. Brian K. Vaughan has stated that the cause will be revealed in time.

 

I saw this preview with Miami Vice (shut up). Looks pretty cool, but I'll wait for video.

 

I think it looks good, I've liked Clive Owen ever since Sin City.

 

Yea looks like a pretty good movie, long long time since i have seen anything promising coming out at the cinemas...
