Description
Fan-art of the Stanley Kubrick film 'A Clockwork Orange'. If you don't get the reference, i would suggest playing more video games. And a bit of the old ULTRAVIOLENCE!Related content

y'ever read the book? the ENGLISH printing?
so what's it gonna be then, eh?

I can't say i have, you know. I'm not really even acquainted that well with the film, but i thought the idea was funny.

well well well, i find this image pejorative to us , ACO fans. you must think we are losers for "using" droogies.
π: 0 β©: 1
That wasn't the intention - i'm a Clockwork Orange fan myself!
The whole 'winners don't use droogs' thing isn't actually a concrete statement about how i feel about the film and the fans - i'm heavily into pun-related humorous art, and i tailored the phrase 'winners don't use drugs' (which is a statement that used to be displayed at the beginning of arcade games) to fit that. It's just a little bit of wordplay, and not meant to express any particular opinion.
Ironically, this piece seems to be popular with a lot of ACO fans - as i said, i'm one myself. I'm partial to a bit of the old ultraviolence!
I apologise if i caused any offense to you with this piece - that certainly wasn't my intention.

good work and good taste broΒ΄ this could be a t shirt, dont ya???

Thank you for the compliments! It could indeed be a t-shirt; i don't want to rip off the Clockwork Orange people by selling merchandise based on their hard work, but if you want to put it on a shirt for yourself, you're welcome to.

Yeah! And i'm a winner, but i'm on prescription medication. So, i guess there are exceptions to the rule.

Nice work! very clever,could'nt bring myself to watch the whole movie.It's one of the two movies i found too uncomfortable,the other one being 'Gummo'.
I did read the book thou.

Thank you for the compliments! I wasn't particularly impressed with A Clockwork Orange after hearing so much about the film, but i'm probably too desensitised to violence anyway. I'm sure the book is a lot better!

I love this so much because I am a massive fan of the old ultraviolence! So much, I wrote a piece of coursework on it 8DD

I had an idea that you might like this piece, but i didn't know you were so keen on the film! I'm not really into cinema much, so i probably didn't appreciate it like it should be appreciated, but i got the idea and i didn't want to let the opportunity pass.
Thank you for the +fav!

Indeed! Thank you for the compliment!

So is Droog the name of a character? Anyway, I really should see that...
π: 0 β©: 1
The main character's name is Alex, but the people he hangs around with (i.e. his lackeys) are called 'Droogs'.

Ah, righto... they beat him up at one pont don't they?

Possibly! I haven't seen the film for a while.

I haven't seen it at all...

It's one of those cult British films that doesn't get a huge amount of play outside of Britain (and sometimes America); sort of like how Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert was a really popular Australian film, but it wasn't accepted in the same way outside of Australia. Also, the film was really popular when it came out for it's ultraviolence - which was really shocking back then, but now it's not really as big a deal.

Mmm, apparently it's also pretty psychological... but then again, I've read a plot synopsis and some themes seem like they've been worked to death after it brought them up...

I think the impact of a lot of what was being said was greater back in the days when it wasn't being said a lot. For instance, it's pretty commonplace to see excessively violent films on the market, but back then it was a new experience; sort of how 3D in films is a big thing at the moment, but in ten years the market may well be saturated with it.

Hell, it's allready saturated...

Does this also entail "Winners don't use drugs"?
π: 0 β©: 1
You're spot on. It's a combination of the classic video game quote 'Winners Don't Use Drugs' (from American arcade game intro in the mid 90's), and Alex's minions, the Droogs, in A Clockwork Orange.
