I’ve always wanted to play a real good RPG.
I heard of a new Baldur’s Gate coming out. That true?
Half-life is still the greatest game I’ve ever played. I can’t believe I haven’t played the second one.
I played a game called Army of Two this weekend and have to say it was pretty fun. If I ever end up winning an xbox 360 (because theres no way in hell Im dishing out the money for one) I might have to pick that title up.
I MIGHT pick up a 360 if both the CPU and GPU dies have been shrunken down. I still think the system runs too hot and the risk of the red ring of death worries me.
Cloverfield
WAY better than I thought it was going to be. They make up for the slow start through the rest of the movie.
Really?
Shit, now I want to see it. You are the second person to say that.

I just saw it for the first time the other day, myself.
Good flick.
KIND OF SPOILERISH
No exposition – we’re kept just as clueless and off-balance as the characters all the way through, and then it ends; no resolution. I thought that worked really well, hand-in-hand with how it was shot.

yup.
But now I need a sequel that explains to me what happened.
The “holy shit!What the fuck is happening !?!!” factor of this movie is huge.
I guess in a real alien attack or a zombicalypse that would probably happen to 80% of all people.
Speaking of Cloverfield - Anyone happen to catch what happened in the last scene of the movie? (When they’re at Coney Island.)

So what I’ve heard about this thing is that the company in Japan that the main character was going to work for actually caused Clover to do what he did in a sense.
Supposedly, the company is mining for some sort of material or mineral or something miles underneath the ocean. At the end of the movie, you can see a high-speed object falling from the sky straight into the ocean. There’s some speculation that this is Clover itself, but most of the things I’ve heard is that it’s a satellite from the main character’s future company. Eventually, because they’re mining for this mineral, it waks up Clover, who’s actually only an infant, which is why it’s so fucking crazy and confused when it reaches land. It’s not just a destructive beast, but it’s generally more of an animal looking for it’s parents/mother.

Agreed 100% Started out painstakingly slow, but it was well worth it.

I was always wondering what that thing was! Shit, I wouldn’t like to see its mother…

It is quite possibly the best attempt at showing “Reality” in a movie I’ve seen. It takes a huge dump on The Blair Witch Project in those terms simply because they DO show you the shit that is going on.
I still think they could have done without some of the stuff at the beginning, but I do get that they needed at least SOME intro of the characters or else the significance of the ending wouldn’t be felt at all.
Definitely worth seeing.
Outpost forst 30minutes or so boring as shit, but then the action starts. Story premise, mercanaries are hired to go to an old WWII German bunker and discover an occult experiment, superhuman, nazis, zombie ghost things.

DISCUSSION OF SPOILERS
Yeah, I noticed the falling object and splash too. That’s crazy. The thing is, it happens in a scene that was “recorded” before the events of the movie, which makes me wonder. Supposedly Clover was just chillin out underground, but I just don’t know.
It was a badass movie either way, and you know they’ll make a #2.

Any movie that makes me want to watch it again after I just watched it gets a thumbs up.
Spoiler question:
Did the girl who was bitten by one of those cricket looking creatures just explode because of the bite?
Yeah, I’m really curious at to what the second one will have to offer. Obviously they can’t really do the whole POV home-camera thing again, but it’d be interesting to see if the mother makes an appearence, or if Clover has gotten any bigger.
-Spoiler Discussion-
On a side note, I also heard that those little things were just like little parasites for Clover, so I wonder if that’s a whole new species in itself, too. Hopefully the next one will have more people getting blown up by bites, though. Whoops, Prof X, I just saw that you just wrote if the explosion was due to the bite. I’ve tried looking up stuff about it, but no one really knows much about it. As far as we know, though, it has something to do with the bite.

SPOILER ANSWER
Yeah they actually foreshadow what’s going to happen, by first showing the bug in the case, and then the body being wheeled away. I think when they bite they infect you with an egg that hatches causing the explosion of the host.
Anyone know if the camera is all herky jerky like at the theatre? I, who never get motion sickness, had to close my eyes a few times due to it. Also anyone watch paast the end and hear the voice after the credits? What did it say?

The camera is “herky jerky,” but I didn’t see it to be a problem. It looked like a true first-person perspective. And voice after credits? Hmm. I’d like to hear about that.
