WTF is with all the new world order movies?
 
What the flip is with Hollywood or whoever making all these new world order movies? The Hunger Games, The Giver, Divergent, and there's probably more than that. I always thought these kind of stories sucked when I had to read books in elementary and junior high school with similar themes. Is this more of a warning against systems like communism, and thus a throwback to McCarthy era suspicion? Or is Hollywood or whoever trying to warn us about a possible future where we live under a new system?

Hulkamania! *tears my shirt* :D

I'm sure it's probably only coincidence. Hollywood could barely find it's way out of a paper bag (but with great writers they might be able to write a story that would have us believing they made it out alive), let alone have prophetic political knowledge.

Lol...nah.

Leo656 12-20-2014 08:21 PM

I'm literally the last one standing. :lol:

(Although if I add up the time I've spent in the locker room etc. with 'em, multiply it by the number of times my tag partner smoked weed with Syxx-Pac, and divide it by the time Nash saved us from Snitsky, I could loosely be considered an "associate member", somewhere below Brian Adams and slightly ahead of Virgil and Stevie Ray... :lol:)

That almost sounds like a number puzzle!

Also I watched The Giver last night. I was honestly blown away. Loved it.

Did he try to lick your feet or something?

Leo656 12-20-2014 09:00 PM

:lol: Gross.

Nah, just punched us out so Big Kev could come in and "rescue" us from further torture and set up the main event. The old boss used to run that spot every show. Ran it straight into the ground, really, but when it was someone like Nash it was forgivable just because he was such a "name".

I actually offered to work for free that night if I could take the Jackknife but the boss said no. :lol: "What I'm payin' you ain't even CLOSE to what I gotta pay HIM, son. No offense, you ain't worth it." :lol: But he still stuck me in the skit with him just because he knew what a Nash mark I am. Whatta pal.

I blame 1984 by George Orwell.

I actually like Hunger Games and Divergent. Veronica Roth said it best in her interview in my Divergent book that utopias are boring and that dystopian futures are more interesting. She also stated that in creating Divergent she originally figured it would be her own utopian setting with the creation of the factions, but she said that it snowballed because in the end power makes people greedy. So I'm not against it at all as I enjoyed those movies and can't wait for Insurgent to come out next.

And, Leo, you rock. NWO 4 Life baby!

"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" or so the quote goes from The Wizard of Oz, right? :lol:

I was wondering what those guys were doing. I thought maybe it was Michael Bay's version of the Foot Clan. :lol:
