If “myself” is anything like me, then I doubt it was meant as an insult – personally, I use the word “guys” in place of “folks”. I routinely great female friends with phrases like “hey guys”.
An American tutor at my (english) university said that over there people use ‘guys’ to mean men and women in a group. He regularly bounced into the tutorial room and said ‘hi guys’ and when the female students objected he explained that to us. I don’t know if the habit has spread to the UK generally, but I hear it more often these days. If it has become a gender neutral word, thats a good thing, surely?
After the Matrix and V I cant say Im all that surprised, they both had some weird connection for me that Id just put down to being *the outsider* ,seeing the world from a secret perspective for so long etc. One question though,is this David Mitchel the posh one from Mitchel and Webb? :) ps, *guys* is a pretty common plural for a mixed group of people these days,well,since about the 1960s actually…..

Not such a bad woman she is becoming, specially considering her age. It’s a pity I am just not a fan of their work since Matrix 1.
Cloud Atlas is going to be fun and adventurous. Great to see Lana in the light.
Good job guys.

Dig the pink hair 8-)
It’s interesting, but I didn’t like the dreadlocks. Doesn’t look good on her.
I happily disagree :)

Loved the Matrix and V – not so keen on Matrix 2 & 3 though. Hope this film turns out to be a corker. And loving the dreadlocks, they look great.
Damn, the comments in the youtube video are a perfect if disturbing display of the wretched society that plagues even the internet.
