    Ok, I'll bite. What is your most strident belief?
    I'm assuming it's that we aren't guilty of a crime until we commit it.

    If that's what Catefrances meant, I agree. Scary premise for a law enforcement system. Guilty by potential...

    The Beach irritated me, I felt the main character didn´t deserve his rosy outcome. It wouldn´t have made me feel any better for him to have been hacked to death or consumed by a shark but the entire film irked me with its pseudo-profound narrative, mtv-gloss and well, dicapuchino.

    It wasn't that we found we could predict the future, it was these poor 3 "children", the pre-cogs that could see someone committing a crime before it happens and offer up images that Tom Cruie's character had to figure out.
    Also the overwhelming presense of Big Brother was a quite important in this film.
    It scared me in that you could not hide, go undetected.
    I found it very interesting regardless of my own personal belief system.
    Am I in the minority here? Pun intended.

    OK, all that...but by the place was really futuristic, apart from the houses they lived in looked just the same. I just found it slightly off kilter, but maybe I was looking for flaws as the film itself was boring me a little. :)

    I liked Sideways though, found it wryly amusing, and at times, touching. The best comedy is often not obvious.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    nnnnoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    its not a comedy unless it draws laughs.. not a wry smirk with 11 minutes of the dirge left to watch... if someone offered me Sideways on dvd for the paltry cost of £0.01 i would still decline it... and as a Scotsman that pains me more than you could imagine.. although for a penny i could buy and then locate the fucking director of the movie and impale the dvd into his nostril. now that would be comedy :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I've never really cared for ET and I get angry at Jaws. I can't stand just about anything that Al Pacino, Winona Ryder, Nicholas Cage, and Tom Cruise are in.

    Me too, do you mean that by the time we can predict the future, and drive around in 'sideways' cars on roller coaster type roads, we may well live in slightly different looking houses?
    That's my strident belief.

    no what i mean is, arresting people for crimes they 'might' commit in the future before they actually commit them. you cant go around arresting people for something they havent done yet. pre emptive crime fighting is pure ...hmm... science fiction. not to mention bullshit. :p:D

    and also what trix said about the overwhelming presence of big brother. for our security? i dont think so. :)
