I haven't watched it, I couldn't be bothered.

But it's nowhere near as good as City of God (aka Cidade de Deus), which you must all rent now. I don't care if "mwah boo-hoo my local video store is closed!!" - take a large hammer citizen and rent it now, I said. Comprende?

I watched it this morning. Short film my arse. I was almost late :(

It was quite good, wouldn't say it was brilliant though. I probably shouldn't have, but I laughed a little when the pigs got a better choice of food than the humans and when the scavengers were only allowed to collect scraps for 5 minutes in groups of 10.

Yes, Roman. That's capitalism for ya.


I watched that movie when I was 13 years old. It really stayed in my mind and shaped my purpose...

That was around the time when I started to dislike capitalism, btw...

Or statism.

How's this statism?

Why in free thought? I dunno! I thought it was a reasonable place to put it...!
