Movie Game of the Week: Mass Effect 2.

Because maybe this way I won’t throw Mass Effect 2 through the [expletive deleted] wall.  It’s gameplay is just different enough from Dragon Age: Origins that all of my reflexes are off.  And when I say ‘off’ I mean there’s actual nausea involved.  And, really, would a tutorial that didn’t make me feel all urgent-y and confused have hurt?

…Yes, yes, in three days it’ll be the Greatest Thing EVAR.

Anyway, we’ll call it a movie and retire The Princess Bride.

Movie of the Week: Monsters, Inc.

As I recall, Monsters, Inc. was the first Pixar film that had me going “You know, they seem to have a knack for this. When are they actually going to make a mediocre flick?”

Still wondering.

And so, farewell to Kung Fu Panda – which I briefly misremembered as being a Pixar flick. Which is, of course, a massive compliment to its makers.

Movie of the Week: Kung Fu Panda.

Kung Fu Panda could have been horrible.  In fact, it could have been fairly expected to be horrible.  However, the directors decided that since they in fact liked kung fu movies, they should play it straight and make an actual kung fu movie… with pandas in it.  So they made one.   And It Did Not Suck.

Neither did Buffy The Vampire Slayer – Collector’s Set – yes, I’m aware that there’s a bad pun there – but it’s time for it to go now.

‘Movie’ of the week: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

As in, Buffy The Vampire Slayer – Collector’s Set (40 discs). Yup, the whole blessed thing. Grab a few cases of iron rations, plenty of beer, and catch up on what my wife only half-jokingly called ‘the other woman.’

What? Hey. Art is supposed to cost.

What, again? No, of course Animal House‘s not over. Nothing is over until we say it is!
