So I didn't get home until 1:30, but still…

alternateorg on July 17, 2001

I urge you all to get out and do what I did last night: Play a little Quake with some friends, walk down to a record store and pick up the brand-spankin’ new Saves The Day album, ‘Stay What You Are’ (website done by our friends at Liberation Media).

And once you’ve browsed said record store and have made sufficient fun of the pictures of Mudvayne and Slipknot on the cover some retarded metal magazine, go see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within for a rollicking good animated ride. I should warn you, though: some people co-occupying the theater with us were less than enthused with the movie at its end. These people are morons, and do not understand science fiction: All science fiction has a plot that is so basic it is almost childish, while simultaneously being nearly impossible to understand. What sets good science fiction apart from the bad (say, Final Fantasy from Wing Commander [both based on video games, actually]) is the quality of the acting and the quality of the special effects. At least, that’s my opinion, but I digress. Some people didn’t like it because the plot borders on cheesy, but if you’re someone I would like, you’ll be too enthralled with the quality of animation and the bad-ass-ness of the computer interfaces and machinery used by the characters to pay much attention to the plot.

    I have to agree with your Final Fantasy review Kev. IT WAS AWESOME! 3D at it’s greatest ever, IMHO. I’ll go see it at least one or two more times while it’s still showing on the big screen. Yummy Yum Yum!!!!

    “but if you’re someone i would like…” thats a great quote man. i still haven’t seen Final Fantasy, but i know i’m already kinda disappointed because Nobuo Uematsu didn’t do the score. (quick, name all the video game music composers you know) nonetheless, i expect great things.
