You know how President Hinckley said he doesn't worry about those who pray? The same can be said for men who are self-aware enough to know when there's a life to be lived outside of the world of video games. - Anonymous -

Hmm. I remember thinking it was a unique premise, quite sad, and an interesting look at what makes us human. But I can't recall a lot of specifics because I saw it a while ago.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.Comment

I've only read the book but I found it quite moving. It had that kind of melancholy that hangs with you for quite a while after you put it down. That's different than "depressing" which I don't think describes the story very well at all, but it is powerfully sad and wistful.Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...
None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.
I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

I liked it. Original and haunting."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Haven't seen the movie but read the book. Ishiguro is a brilliant writer and the story is compelling and disturbing (well, at least to me it was) without being morbid. Has anybody both read the book and seen the movie and if so, how do they compare?"You know, I was looking at your shirt and your scarf and I was thinking that if you had leaned over, I could have seen everything." ~Trial Ad JudgeComment

I just watched the movie last night and it was everything you guys said. Haunting, sad, disturbing, moving, leaves you with a melancholy that is still making me think today. Now I want to read the book. Because the boos are always better right???
I really loved the film, I think it was a movie that I will always love but always have a hard time watching.I am a philosophical Goldilocks, always looking for something neither too big nor too small, neither too hot nor too cold, something jussssst right.

I saw it a few months ago by chance. Very interesting. I can see why it was not a commercial success (dystopian sci fi usually isn't, I guess) but I am glad I saw it.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
