Well, with a game driven by polygonal booty (IMO), you use what you can work
with. This summer looks to a wide assortment of movie blockbuster weirdness,
what with Atlantis below, and the recently released Pearl Harbor ("Hey! You got
your Titanic in my Saving Private Ryan!")

That may well be a good call with this one. We've got main hero Milo looking
for all the world like a grown up Jean, and the Atlantian girl Kida, bearing
a not so slight resemblence to Nadia, only with long white hair and weilding
a spear (Princess Nadioke, if ya will...)

The Emperor's New Groove was hillarious. Sure, it probably isn't going to be a 'classic', but it was still a fun movie.

Speaking of fun movies, Shrek had me fscking howling.

"Do you know the muffin man?"
"The muffin man?"
"The muffin man."
"Yes, I know the muffin man. Who lives on Drury Lane?"

Oh my god that's a fun movie...

*phew* I'm not the only person on earth who 1. got that joke and 2. is over 18 and went to see that movie <parents not included, since they don't get a choice>

"More relieved than I ought to be..."

Not the showing I went to. There was a kid behind me who was calling out dialog before characters said it. And it wasn't in the 'I've seen this 5 times this weekend' way, but in that 'I'm so flipping bored and this is just too easy' way. Not a good sign when the eight year old is one step ahead of your screenwriter.

It had it's moments, but it's a long way from anything Pixar has put out, and it's even a long way from Antz, PDI/Dreamworks' last cgi film. And personally, I found most of the character design annoying. But golly aren't their hair shaders nice. I think I'll go watch the Monsters Inc. trailer again...

And I understand that they've been working on it for 4 years, and that the joke was probably written in when it was fresh, but I swear to any god that applies if I see another Matrix gag I'm going to lose my mind.

I Dunno, I lost a staring contest with a walnut once.

It was different from what Pixar has done. I certainly thought it was funnier than A Bug's Life for example.

I had the opposite feeling, I liked the designs. I really rather liked Princess Fiona's design. It looked well rendered.

Monsters Inc. looks amusing.

You've probably seen more films than I have - I liked the joke, but I haven't seen very many Matrix gags.

My wife and I went to that one with considerable trepidation. The pre-release buzz I'd heard said that the Disney animators who made it weren't all that happy with it, but the commercials looked considerably better than I expected. So we took the risk, and it paid off nicely. Peggy and I have summed it up for friends as, "Disney makes a full-length classic Warner Brothers cartoon".

>Speaking of fun movies, Shrek had me fscking howling.

Me, too, but now I have to live with people going, "You're kidding!" when I tell them my name. I even had one guy suggest I change it because of the movie. (For those who don't realize it, "Schroeck" is pronounced "shrek". Means "horror" in German -- great name for an ogre, no?)

>Oh my god that's a fun movie...

That it is; that it is.

Hey - I've been saying that since I saw it. Yeah, that's exactly what it was - especially the gag with the map and dotted lines. And when party 2 got there ahead of party 1 and couldn't explain how - it felt like something out of Animaniacs.

A very different Disney movie.

Oh, I didn't know that - yeah.
