Labelling yourself is like labelling groceries at a market. Unfortunately there are people that wouldn't know a fruit if their life depended on it. But therein lies the question? Do our lives depend on labelling? Only if our lives depend on social status. Or if society is so pig-headed that we're still needing safety in numbers. Me, I'm very happy with people not knowing me and having to make the effort to discover who I am. It's a very good test as to see who you can call a friend and who makes the effort to give a damn.

Oh and I'm straight male. All about the vajayjay! :3

I found that the best way is to not try to identify. Value people for who they are and whatever happens otherwise is a matter of choice. People trying to create identities for themselves only tends to create problems sooner or later, especially if how others see you is the opposite of how you see yourself. Labels are fashions, fashions segregate society, cultures grow out of segragation and are either assimilated or destroyed. Either way, it's not happening as easily as it should considering that sexuality has been a huge factor in civilisation for milenniae. If I were to ask a bigot why he hates gays, I would include, 'and do you have a problem with more women being made available?'

@celestialseed: funny you say that, Stephen King movies are notorious for copping out at the end when he provides genius original endings in his novels. The Mist I didn't mind so much as it was gutting (and yet again, Walking Dead's Carol survives another pre-planned death hahaha).

Dreamcatcher not only had a godawful ending that seemed to have forgotten that the rest of the film existed (and the novel), it went for awful CGI that didnt fit into the rest of the film when all they had to do was use the actual dream sequence where Duddits helped Henry to kill the alien in Jonesy... and then the music was shite. Epic films need epic music!

Other than that, I Am Legend's ending was a complete and utter cop-out also, both for what it could have been as a standalone and also for what it refused to take from the novel. I went into that film so hopeful that Will Smith would at least be the ill-fated bitter and twisted Dr Neville that would fall foul of being called a genocidal racist just like in the book.

But to be honest, everything about that film - the mutants and Alice Braga's weird religious woman and the child especially - was a joke. Hokey CGI from apparent top animators and graphic artists. They weren't even "Vambies" that could talk and torment Neville like in 'The Last Man on Earth'. They didn't even capitalise on flashbacks of the early days of the end of the human race. They just showed everybody having a virus and focused selfishly on the stupid death of his wife and kids who died in a helicopter crash and weren't killed by Neville after they turned?).

It was a Disney Pixar version of 28 Days Later FFS and it had no balls... NO BALLS!!! Call yourself a horror film? Sorry, rant over. Thanks for the offer to express myself.

I have to go for Jeffrey Coombs/Herbert West. That's one of the best horror B-Movies of all time!

@norrinboltagonprime21: that's actually pretty clever. Simplest ideas usually are the more intelligent answer

@waezi2: A monarchy is actually what helps us to have a democracy. Like I said, it's often the government that leads a country into a dictatorship when they make rules as they go along to oppress the population. The monarchy doesn't allow that by their responsibility to the public that keeps them on the throne and in today's world, if a dictatorship was created and overthrew the monarchy, it wouldn't go without intervention from allied countries. It probably could be done without a monarchy but it would only be a matter of time before some devil takes control. Like I say, I'm not a fan of royalty but I appreciate why it exists and what it stands for and in today's world - where their days are likely numbered for a variety of reasons - they provide many people with a sense of pride that helps them to remain better people when they're tested by hard times. By the way, sorry about the rant. I read what I wrote for the first time since then and it looks a bit manic.

I don't think you realise just how important it is for some countries to be represented on the global stage by a royal family and also in their own country. You do also realise that the Royal family tirelessly supports the public in the UK. Yes, in the case of laws being changed, it has to go through the Queen first. So in the event that you have a total dickhead for a Prime Minister, the Queen is one figurehead that will always have the power to say NO!

Therefore is the Queen not for the people that keep a roof over her head? The public that pay to keep royalty of the public? Because if you put your future and your heritage in the hands of dishonest moneymen, you would kiss goodbye more than your wealth.

You might also think of the great things men can achieve out of pride, or the great things otherwise ignorant people of wealth and power can be convinced of should they accept a knighthood and become a pillar of the national community. Seriously, anti-royalty might not be anti-establishment but, if it isn't, it's the next closest thing. Some countries would be reduced to aimlessness without a King or Queen.

So just think about it for a minute. You might not believe in something that doesn't benefit you as an individual but you can be sure that the influence of the royal family is a positive one on millions of your countrymen. I don't much care myself but I believe that their heritage is mine and therefore it deserves respect and care and that I have something to be proud of should I be reduced to nothing; just as was the case during the darkest days of WWII

Fox owns the rights to all previous and current X-Men related characters used in film and even the rights to the word "mutant". Disney only owns what Marvel has the rights to theatrically including the Avengers, Daredevil, Punisher and I think Blade. Anyone that hasn't had a film yet I'm guessing is under Marvel but because Fox has the rights to the above, they have to go with the scientific and mystical rather than anything with mutant powers unless they can cheat the story without cheating the fans

I disagree with the red theme. Naturally, Venom and Punisher were the only non red characters. Punisher was given new armour to wear by Ross, who made it red and so Venom changed to mix in and also to provide a sense of uniform; which is explained in dialogue at that very time. It only makes sense for a unit as such to wear the same colours!
