Ender's a genius. I can't stress genius enough here. They didn't just go find the bring in the first 13-year old they could find, there is a lot more to him than that.

Edit: and reading that AMA was a great experience. This in particular:

OMG IT'S DESTINY. I love your shit man, watching your videos wants me to play Starcraft again. I have a pencil case that says 'brofestor hit squad' on it. Dude, seriously PM me and I'll add you on steam


Still, a 13 year old genius as the last hope for humanity against impossible odds? Yeah, desperate times i guess..


Well it's not like they want a 13 year old to save the world... they started training him pretty early and than... time's up.

I don't think Ender's accidentally killing bullies is required for his arc.


Especially when the central theme of the movie is space battles and explosions.

I have to say something as a New Zealander.

Ben Kingsly looks horrible. He still sounds British and his Moko (Face Tattoo) is just stupid.

It looks visually stunning, but I must admit I have never been a fan of child actor movies. They usually feel far to amateur.

They have reasons to use a child. But I really can't get further into this without heavy spoilers.

Orson Scott Card making headlines recently with some statements he made. Either he is a huge bigot, he has a mental illness, or he is playing the media sensationalism very well in order to make some hype for his movie:

There was nothing racist in there. He just seems very conspiracist.

And the presentation is horrible. Is it informative, trying to be funny or trying to label him as a lunatic? It fails on all 3 points.

That was one of the worst videos I've ever seen. He spends the entire time insulting him and repeatedly bringing up the "racial" comments that OSC makes, despite the fact that OSC doesn't mention race a SINGLE time. In fact, it's the guy in the video who comes off as racist, given that he assumes that young urban men who are out of work/gang members consist entirely of black people.

Man wtf is with those captions?
Y'know sometimes people ask me y'know like "What's your religion and stuff?" And I'm like "y' know it's like RTS." Uh, and they're like, "What's that?" And I'm like, "Y'know it's kinda like, kinda like Buddism."

The original article

It's pretty clearly a satire trolling his liberal critics. And given the responses, it worked out nicely for him. He'll have a pretty big win if the boycotts aren't centered around gays any more, where his Mormonism and prior comments were used as rallying cries to this. Card is probably banking that lots of liberals are too lazy to actually carry out a general boycott.

You mean to me right?

Regarding the youtube video, I agree that all I see is a conspiracy-like text from OSC and a reporter that spends half of his airtime with ad hominem attacks and the other half ranting about his own racist prejudices. But either way, you don't have to like the man to like his work.

And regarding the topic at hand, I will go and see this movie, no matter how disappointing it turns out to be.

Hm, the book doesn't seem all that amazing (several things feel quite disjointed) but I understand if people are concerned about the adaptation. Personally I can't stand the popularity of the Starship Troopers film and how very little it has in common with the book...

If the trailer is any indication of the movie I'm not really going to like it. Still going to watch the movie because I love Ender's Game, I'll probably end up bitching about how bad the movie is for the next few days tho. lol

Rofl after I read the whole article that TYT video is one of the more embarassing pieces of 'journalism' I've ever seen in my life.
