[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 4490703, member: 3887"] I like Leone and Argento better than Fellini too, but tell me [i]Suspira[/i] doesn't qualify as an "abstract art film", albeit one with stabbing and witches. The last time my wife and I watched it we decided it was the most frightening film about interior design ever made. The comparison between non-narrative films and certain, newer RPG's is a pretty weak one. You're comparing films with an unorthodox structure (ie, they don't really tell a traditional linear, literal story), to RPG's that [b]do[/i] have an orthodox structure (ie, 4e is still about dungeon-delving, killing things, and taking their stuff) but more outlandish trappings (Dragoborn, Tieflings, laser-equipped electric sharks --oops, sorry, that's a reference to another thread I'm posting in).[/b] [/QUOTE]
