Actually, it could. Think Lord of the Rings, but a Final Fantasy-setting. But it has to be a movie based on the Final Fantasy setting, not a movie based on the games.
A few more:
- People who think they own the road, just because they got a bigger car.
- Stores not made for wheelchairs. Which is pretty much every single store in my entire town. Not a problem for me personally, but I have tried sitting in a wheelchair and go shopping all day. I gave up after an hour or two, having been to three or four stores in total.
- People who hate heavy metal based on what they read in the news, not what they actually hear of their music or know. (hint: here's Sarah Brightman and Manowar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lekcE...eature=related)
- Kiss and their so-called Final Tour, or whatever they call it. How many times have they been on their very last tour so far? Six times? Seven? Yet they released a new album a while ago, or so I heard.
- Rappers trying to act / Actors trying to sing.
- People who claim to be fan, just because something is popular at the moment. Remember all the Johnny Cash-fans when the movie was released? How many still remember him? And how many were fans of Michael Jackson before his latest tour, and after his death? And how many were openly fans when he was on trial?

Seeing as you have your locale down as "prison" I'm surprised that you're surprised by this...
But you know what they say... If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.

It can get pretty hot cooking pizza, especially on a summer's day. Are we having pizza?

Um... what's over there? *runs in opposite direction*
Actually when you think about it, Final Fantasy has all the good stuff from magic and all the good stuff from steampunk. It has a lot of great characters, and the stories are often pretty darn mature. All we need is to write a new story for a movie, and there we go. Yes, The Spirits Within and Advent Children are both horrible, but so what? Jaws 2 - 4 are horrible, but the first one is a classic. Star Wars Episode 1 - 3 are even worse, and don't get me started on the Clone Wars series and movie! But Episode 4 - 6 are classics. Even the old Lord of the Rings movie is an abomination that should be put to rest for it's own sake, yet the new movies are somewhat popular. Don't judge the entire setting based on two movies.

Nope I'm not surprised. I am simply expressing disgust. (ew = disgust, what!?!? = surprise)
But I am surprised that you, male, are sexually harassing another male (specifically a male viking Gallus gallus domesticus)
Eew so that makes you a chickenphile too

People saying "At least you got your health". Think about it. You lost your job. You crashed your car. Your wife left you. She took the kids. Then they died in an accident. Your house burned down. Your dog hates you. You can't pay your bills, so the bank took whatever possessions you had left. But hey, at least you got your health.

-people who narrate a story to you and don't specify who's speaking, but alter their pitch in voice for dialogue.
-essays or articles that have "This essay\article is about..."
-girls on facebook or whatever social networking site, say that they are "horrible looking" or "ugly", so that other people will tell them they aren't. (Even though they know they are pretty. Why else would they post the five hundred some odd pictures?)
-people who post a zillion pictures of themselves and only themselves on said social networking sites.
-the people who randomly stand in front of my locker when I want to get my books for class.
-people who drink underage and think that they're cool. Breaking the law when you have 5 or 6 years until you can do it legally is dumb. Plus, alcohol smells weird.

I kind of have a problem with anyone who thinks simply drinking or smoking or anything like that makes them cool. If you like doing it, that's one thing but to do it simply because you can't legally do it yet is just silly.

Why do people drink anyways
one, alcohol doesn't even taste good
two, it makes you act like an idiot
and using substances to alter your state of mind is pretty pathetic to me

Ditto that.
People who ride those 'Hover-Rounds' and don't appear to need to.
Also when said people rudely nearly run you down in the grocery store in attempts to pass you.

Hahahaha! Oh, I hated that in my day, too. They're still doing that, eh?
And I'm very impressed with the younger set here by their stand on drinking! I can't stand the smell of gin (pine trees) or vodka.  Oh!
- the smell of gin and vodka (separately, not mixed).

The girls that attend my school. Every other day, I am forced against my will by my instructor to sit through dreadful tutorial groups. Every other day, I am grouped with the same goddamn girls. These girls have to be the most senseless, and frankly dumbest set of girls I have ever heard, laid my eyes on, etc. They sit there for the duration of the tutorial, about an hour or so, and talk.. they just talk about absolutely nothing. They yammer about their weekends and their ugly clothes, and I can't stand it. There's a certain kind of guy to stand that, and that's not me. It's just not. Meanwhile, amidst their yammering and babbling and giggling, I stick my earbuds in and listen to Joy Division. Joy Division puts an automatic trance on me; a trance that makes me hate the world. Maybe it's Ian Curtis that has made me hate these girls. Maybe, maybe.

On the other hand, you're 14. You've probably never been drunk (you certainly shouldn't have been). You most probably won't have tried all the different alcoholic drinks there are, cos they all taste different. And far from being "pathetic", getting drunk with friends can be a hellavu lot of fun. Don't knock it till you've tried it. Or, in other words, come back in 4 years and say all that truthfully.

one, it tastes great. Some of it, at least.
two, that depend on how much you drink.
three, again, that depends on how much you drink. some of us drink because we like the taste, but don't drink so much that we get wasted.
back on topic:
- people who hate stuff out of priniciple, yet haven't even tried it themselves. how can you hate drinking if you haven't even tasted any?
- teenagers thinking the own the world. or make that pwns teh world.
- netspeak. see above. just because some idiot wrote a typo, it doesn't mean he re-wrote the dictionary. and for f'sake, don't use numbers in words! sum1, b4, m8... god I hate that. I could understand it when we had cell phones were the text messages could only be 160 letters, but a) messages now automatically spread over multiple messages (and many still count as one on the phone bill), and b) you are on the darn internet now. there's no reason what so ever to say sum1 on an internet forum. at least spell correctly and write some1.
- pizza. really. I used to love it, but they changed most of the frozen pizzas here in norway and gave us a whole new taste. I hate it. we have at least twelve, fifteen different types of frozen pizzas, and I like two of them now. sigh...

And then one day you meet that special girl who annoys the hell out of you in a way you like it. Watch, it will happen.

No, alcohol tastes so nasty. I rather have my coffee 
When I went to China, I tried Moutai and oh my fucking God I was about to puke. It's so strong... and nasty
I tried my dad's beer because I was kinda curious but it didn't taste too good. Moutai is a hella worse
I don't think China has any drinking age requirement or anything
Even if it did, I guess everyone just ignores it

wow. That makes... no sense. You've tried two types of alcohol and you completely write off the lot. Never mind about wine, whisky (my fav  ), brandy, sherry, vodka, gin, port, lager, ale, sake, or any kind of cocktails.
And China does have a drinking age, introduced in 2006. It's 18.

Well I went to China years ago.
Whiskey is nasty. My dad bought rice whiskey and he wanted me to try it. It had little white rice at the bottom of the bottle ew. Sake is so nasty. And I tasted that grape wine shit... nasty but at least it has grape flavor.
So when I hit 21, forget the pubs and bars.

rice whisky is totally different to normal whisky. And don't make claims about yourself so far into the future. 7 years is long time. You'll change.

No, alcohol tastes so nasty.
|
That's what I used to say, and I honestly thought I'd never grow to like it. I still don't like most of it, but my taste is changing (same with food I never used to like and am now quite fond of) and so are my statements concerning alcohol  Not that I go past cidre doux and sometimes beer yet, but still
|
Whiskey is nasty. [...] Sake is so nasty.
|
Those are specific kinds of drinks, not alcohol in general. You should try cidre (not cider - cidre, the French kind) sometime. It's like applejuice with bubbles and 2% alcohol

nah I like my 0% alcohol champange
That actually tastes good
Therefore, I have come to conclude that drinks with alcohol in it = nasty, and without alcohol = good
