No, I didn't. I actually like expensive red wine. I drink two glasses of it every day. It's called the Mediterranean diet (that's why I'm so handsome).
Oh good. I thought you were one of those larplanders. The ones that are all "CURSE ME AND MY INABILITY TO SUBSIST ON BLOOD! LETS JUST DRINK WINE INSTEAD, THATS PROBABLY CLOSE. Hey, guys, don't drink too much. My mom will be mad if she finds out I was drinking. I made cherry kool-aid, its next to the cheetos." You know?
In any case, you say you are handsome? Lemme see a picture. Wait, how old are you? If you're over twenty five, forget it.

I do so because you are obviously implying that the US version will be a conversion from what wikipedia describes as "a romance/horror" (which I can only assume involves a young boy discovers his first love bleeds from the vagina, thus freaking him the crap out for several years, until he learns to chill out/turns 14.) into a action movie. You are also implying that those who liked those action movies wouldn't like this movie, which is another generalization. Way to fail it hero.
Let's just face it. The American moviemakers are afraid to make anything above PG-13 (there are exceptions like Martin Scorsese who can simply say "go fuck yourself, I'm making the movie my way" to the producers). That's why I think the movie will suck. One more thing: The American movie directors have the urge to moralize over cultural differences. I actually can't wait to see what are they going to do with some scenes involving those children.
Afraid to make anything above PG-13 and wanting to cash in on a broader demographic are two different things. As for the "scenes involving those children" I couldn't say. If they're what I'm thinking, they'll probably get cut or altered. Not because it offends their delicate morals (because large industries and businesses have none,) rather, they want the money of those that would throw a fit, and trimming whatever they can to do so will help rack up sales. In what you have written, it seems like you refer to the U.S. movie industry, and the filmmakers that are a part of it as something that isn't an unfeeling, profiteering big business. Referring to it as "scared" and "moralizing over other cultures" without realizing that what comes of as scared or moralizing probably was not in intent. Money first, ya know?
Quote from Aleph on 11/03/08 at 06:26:40:And you are so wrong about the bleeding vagina stuff.
No I'm not. I'm serious. It's called menstruation. Put in simple terms, every month, the uterus needs to change wallpaper, and evacuates its excess through the vagina. It's found in all girls of "reproductive age" and some guys. For bonus points try and guess which men on this forum menstruate (I'll tell you right now this isn't a joke at
your expense, since you wouldn't pick up on it otherise.)
Or were you referring to the horror romance thing? Well, incidents like that have not happened to me, but according to my brother, his friend, about when he was 12 or 13, had some people over at his house, one of which was a girl he liked. Girl he liked ended up having her first period there. I can't imagine her not knowing what the hell a period is, and I can't imagine her running around going "oh shit oh shit oh shit." In any case, my brother's friend did not know what a period is, and also found out that she had had one. The discovery of it freaked him the crap out for about two years, for god knows what reason. My brother has stupid friends.
EDIT: Jeez, I really overdid it. Man, I would fire myself if I were employing me. Srsly. I hate walls of shit. I have become that which I hate. No Aliz, you are the wall of text. And then Aliz was a shit poster. Oh jesus this is silly what am I even talking about I am going to sleep before I hit max stupid.
