I got up this morning to find that my newspaper had yet again been heisted from its normal location; on the floor in front of my hotel room door. Undeterred, I made my way to Moose & Sadie's for a cup of coffee. I found a newspaper there and noticed a review of a new movie opening today called [Children of Men](http://www.childrenofmen.net) starring Clive Owen and Directed by [Alfonso Cuarón](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_Cuar%C3%B3n).

The review made me decide to check it out. I needed to see a movie...a good movie.

I can honestly say that I wasn't disappointed -- I loved this movie. Dystopian SciFi done well seems to be hard to come by, especially on the Big Screen, but this movie is beautiful. It is viceral and real in a way that I cannot easily describe.

Kuro5hin resident writer localroger thinks so, and I am inclined to agree:

As I write this there are enormous threads on DailyKos and Fark about This article by Orson Scott Card. Card is known to most people for his science fiction, including one of the most popular SF novels of the late 20th century, Ender's Game.

Many people are astonished to learn that the man who wrote about "that poor little boy" is such a rabid Fascist. But Card has always been a rabid Fascist, as well as several other species of asshat, and none of his works demonstrate that better than the sad tale of Ender Wiggin itself.
