Democratic Underground Cheer For Neill Blomkamp.



Elysium is a brilliant piece of art. Well-written, well-directed, and it is, as he attempted to make it, an allegorical call to arms.

No OnePercenter is going to be able to sit through this movie without getting nervous and irritable. Teabaggers everywhere should feel a chill deep in their ignorant megaditto hater-bones. The script is a knife aimed at the heart of unearned privilege leeching off the labor of humanity, and the most excellent ending should speak worlds to anyone with a conscience.

The Conservative Dream is Humanity's Nightmare, and it sorely needs a cold bucket of water thrown on it.

Dude, I confess to have been truly moved. F***ing A, Mr. Blomkamp. You are officially The Bomb, and here is my cheer for you.

Considering all the propaganda done for the one percent, it is refreshing to see them skewered. The fact that Rush and others are howling mad about this movie is the best review possible, will all due, sincere respect to that late great Siskel and Ebert.

That makes him a HYPOCRITE for making a film skewering the 1% (© The Right-Wing Noise Machine, 2013).
