Movie was fine, yadda yadda, but about halfway through I realized that it contained a sneaky subtext moral and had totally ripped off Harison Bergeron.
For those of you who don't know, and I imagine that will be all of you, Harrison Bergiron is a short story by Vonnegut satirizing the idea of uniformity enforced by the masses upon the exceptional.
Contrary to what some of the slower people who have read the story think, it's not a critique of the welfare state or affirmative action, etc.
Anyway, it's short, and all you fuc[b][/b]kers should have read it by now, so here it is:

I laugh at writers who still use the expression, "yadda yadda yadda," and don't realize how worn out it is. And I just saw you use it...
Not that there is anything wrong with that.

If you're going to critique something as cliche, don't end with a cliche.
Oh well, I guess all's well that ends well.

Haha, your last post humors me. You have to understand, I am making these posts, a tad high, and 3/4'rs drunk.

And yet you have near perfect grammar and spelling... Odd.
What half the people here can't use proper grammar if they arn't drunk and high.
I have perfect grammar when drunk...
But I don't agree with the "Yada yada" thing.
Do you know the uhm.. artist, Tech N9ne?
Pretty modern rap artist and one of his songs is called "Yada yada yada".
I think you use yada like we Danes use blah.
On a sidenote: I saw The Incredibles and I enjoyed it... Great animation movie.

it's nice to know that when we all do finally become equal it will be the american constitution that saves us all, huzzah!

I always discuss this type of stuff with one of my coworkers. We both feel like we're moving in the direction of that story right now. Well, maybe not wearing sandbags and having sounds blasted in our ears, but moving toward so-called equality.
Bad, bad thing...
Good story, Smash. Thanks for the post.

What the hell are you babbling about exactly? I'm fairly certain no one but you has any idea. Care to enlighten the rest of us?

I've always loved that story. This forum sometimes feels like the mental handicap, though; every few posts there's one that is so completely obnoxious or ridiculous the whole thread sways under the weight and lesser threads are destroyed completely.
Interesting analogy with the Incredibles. Also kind of reminds me of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. (which, if any of you enjoy comics, is required reading)
His ending with the cliche was, I think, intended as an amusing irony; both phrases were popularized by Seinfeld.

I'm sure some other people got it too....
So...am I going out of line by saying that I liked the movie alot? 
I personally thought it was pretty neat...then again, I am thy typical FFXIer.
We get amused easily.

We get amused easily.I've realized I could have a much more educated opinion about this if I went and watched the Incredibles. Can't seem to work up the urge, though.
Oh well.

Elastigirl is clearly a metaphor for my maiden Aunt and the wild imaginings I held for her in my adolescence.
The simple concept of "Mr Incredible" is a clear pointer to my deep-seated sense of physical and sexual inadequacy.
The jungle settings hinted at my suffocation in an urban environment.
But I just saw it as a funny cartoon.

Glad for the happy ending to your story!
D'you live in London, Nobby?
Of course. Just as all Danes live in Copenhagen.

I heard "urban" and thought "London".
Actually, 1.1 of the 5.2 million Danes in the country live in Copenhagen.

I actually read Harrison Bergeron. It was really boring and dry. A better story that corresponds along that lines is Fahrenheit 451.
Edit: Kept using "actually".
