I just went to see the movie, and I cannot understand that opinion.
I don't see anything like that in the movie (on the contrary, the disabled
person explicitly states at one point something along the lines of he not
going to let his disability stop him no matter what other people say).
Either I'm missing something, or those people are criticizing the movie
without having seen it. (I haven't seen any trailer of the movie, as I never
watch those. I wonder if they got the impression from one.)

Been there, said that, rinse and repeat. lol But, yeah, they are jumping
on it as a scape goat, based solely on one tiny bit of a trailer with a
guy in a wheel chair, and some false extrapolation from it. Basically
the same as you get every time in cases like this. There isn't much
point attacking something you *know* is being intentionally offensive,
apparently, but making up reasons to attack them because they *may be*,
and you have a huge chip on your shoulder this week... that makes
perfect sense, apparently.

Very possible. I never claimed that they had seen it, since the opinion
was based on the trailers. <shrug>

There was a very interesting Q&A on Youtube with Gabe Newmann (sp?) that
he did with some deaf gamers - I found it very interesting.

That's the best YouTube video I think I've ever seen. Usually anything
on YouTube is horrifyingly pixelated and garbled, even on the highest
quality settings. Interesting...
Also, this video doesn't appear to match my memory. I wonder if the DVD
that I watched is a slightly different edit or something...

How did you set the "quality settings" before?

That is good quality. Too bad it was choreographed by either Lionel
Blair or the Tiller girls. ;)

Oh, hey, I was only referring to picture quality, not actual content. ;-)

I know but I was just taken aback at the puerility of the fighting.
