Yes, <3 Andrew Stanton.

Valkyrie, the WWII suspense/conspiracy thriller from Tom Cruise's United Artists, is coming Feb. 13, 2009. The trailer, I must say, looks phenomenal. Suspenseful, intense, chilling and electrifying, it looks like this film will have everything it needs to be a cinematic hit. We should be getting...

Saw this a while back, but forgot to post about it. Simply fantastic movie -- I looooved it. And so did my cousins, who I brought as my ostensible reason for seeing a kids' movie (not that I ever need an excuse). Good for kids, good for adults, just all-around high-quality movie. A+.

I -loved- this movie. Love love love. I managed to get to an advance screening, and then watched it a second time on its actual opening night -- and it was fantastic both times. I hate to admit it, but I like this even more than Finding Nemo, and that was my all-time Pixar favorite. If you...

Well, I think the distinction here is "main protagonist" vs. "hero." I agree that Ashe is the central character in that she's the one the main story is about, but I would say Balthier is the mover in the story -- without him nobody would've gotten very far, and it's his heroic (sometimes...

I would actually make a case for Balthier as the hero of the game. But just the fact that this is an argument at all shows Vigilance's point, that the game is about a group of heroic people all fighting for the same cause, and that at any given time any number of them could be considered the...

I think the "repetitive" thing is a common complaint about the fantasy RPGs... but I think this one has a good story to go with it. Apparently the woman who wrote Bioshock is doing the writing for it, so if Bioshock is any judge, there could be some story/plot-twists. I just found some concept...

Yeah, I don't really like mailing lists either. I only joined when I found out that you can turn off the "receive updates etc." option! But I like that I'm one of the many people there... if everyone joined, even if not everyone followed all the updates or did all the events, just the numbers...

How is the son? You mention that the Rachel Weisz substitute detracts (and I think that'd be the case for me no matter who they cast) but is the son okay? He has the potential to be good, I think, but it's impossible to tell whether that's the case or if he's as annoying as he was in Returns.

OK, so time to take a quick break and post about srs business... this is a site I discovered recently that you can sign up for to become part of the Video Game Voters Network, which speaks up on behalf of games and gamers in legislation. It does stuff like countering the push targeting video...

I really liked this too. It's like they stepped back and said "We -always- have some ordinary guy turning out to have some specific purpose to save the day, or have all the spunk/etc. needed to turn into the hero." And they decided they would change their formula. I loooved that. He was just an...

So THQ (who did Titan Quest, I believe) is bringing a new PC RPG to the U.S. from Germany, where it won RPG of the year last year. It's called Legend: Hand of God, and I have to say, it looks freaking amazing. The graphics look top-notch, and the gameplay looks like they took Diablo II and...

WHAT. Are you kidding? FF12 was amazing. The gameplay was fantastic, the graphics were breathtaking, and there were subtleties involved in the characters and storyline that, apparently, escaped people expecting things to hit you over the head like they did in 8 or 10. (I won't say 7, because I...

I'll be seeing Love Guru in theaters... I wasn't entirely convinced by the trailer, it seemed funny but not like amazing... but I've been looking at all the other stuff they have promoting the movie and it's just looking really great to me... only 2 weeks now! :) Like this...

I think you and I have opposite taste in movies. :D Definitely go see Iron Man on the big screen, it's worth it. The Hulk has Edward Norton in it. Nuff said.

Oh yeah, I know it's a spinoff. All I meant was that I tend to think of it separately -- I don't judge it by the same criteria that I use to judge The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. Am I right in thinking that their kid's all grown up (or mostly grown up) and that's that other guy in the trailer...
