It's not the best movie, but it is my favourite: Gary Oldman is superb, Eiko Ishioka did amazing costume work, and all the effects are practical. David Fincher is my favourite director.

>Any comments?

I was both a bully and a bullied kid. Violence solves problems is something I learned the hard way. It's the truth, contrary to popular belief. I still mistreat people for fun sometimes. I've been to a mental asylum once and I don't truly fear getting arrested. I'll try to behave, but if I don't even fit in among the high IQ nerds then I'm done. I also have a bit of PTSD.



I don't even think I'm mentally gifted because I'm not (or perhaps I am, who knows), but being an intelligent person surrounded by dumb poorly educated people can be pretty insufferable at times (Andalusians are the worst, WTF is wrong with them?). I think you all can relate to what I mean. We Aspies are geniuses compared to these idiots, which is why I feel a lot of resentment and hatred towards them in the inside.
