    Yes, heaven forbid you actually have to think, or use your brain in a creative manner, or have character development or a plot. Just Boobs, Bombs, Explosions, and lost of sex.

  • Why do films have ...

    Why do films have to have a 'back story'? This is due to Hollywood forcing us to watch S**t , and people get upset if everything is not explained in some circumstance.

  • It would have been ...

    It would have been nice if maybe they'd explained some backstory of why the crime rate got so high that they needed to make NYC into a prison? But, there were inferences that maybe some kind of anti-war protests were behind it somehow when they talk about the U.S. having battles over Leningrad et cetera?
