I don't like to say too much about movies, because I don't like to ruin the experience for others. I admit that the mothman idea is original though, I have never heard anything like it before. I like the 'window washer' explanation of it. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying that I'm not really fascinated with it. It's not bad, but I'm not diehard about it either.</strong><hr></blockquote>
BTW, I wasn't in any way trying to criticize you, and I agree with you that you should never give away the movie. Thanks pyr3.
<strong>As for the movie, they did take some liberties, but for the most part everything is true. Some things are that the guy's name is John Keel not John Klein, etc...(i don't want to give away the movie). Even the Indrid Cold thing is true. :eek: </strong><hr></blockquote>
I never said it wasn't. I didn't bother to investigate any further than the "based on a true story" at the beginning of the movie. And we all know how much hollywood likes to exaggerate. So that guy's phone really rang? Creepy.
edit : There are some inconsistencies though. That one guy said that they can't talk to us because we don't understand yet, it had a phone convo (that's not a give away it is in the trailer) with him.
The PS2 is the sweetest game console I have ever played.. I always loved the controllers of the original Playstation (oh how I yearn for my PS1 with blue and black clear plastic controllers, but alas, all was stolen ).. The controllers are elegant and very comfortable.. I'm very glad they kept the design.. I'm a dork, so get used to it
I rented Metal Gear Solid 2.. Here's my take.. This is one of the best games I have ever played.. The grafix were great, the sound crystal.. I loved jacking sentries for their dogtags and making 'em shiit their pants.. I played the game in one 16 hour sitting, because I didn't have a memory card.. I passed the f*uck out as soon as I beat it.. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> I don't recommend anyone try this at home, I am a professional <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
I found the plot to be somewhat thin, and very similar to Metal Gear Solid 1.. This type of Tactical Espionage Action game, which is so well done by Hideo Kojima, is a very awesome premise, but this game could have been more original.. I think the boss battles were too easy in MGS2, and they felt like they were missing the tension that the boss battles in MGS1 had.. And they were far too easy.. MGS games have a lot of replay value because there is so much that is not revealed simply by playing the game from start to finish.. You have to take weird pictures and call people at weird times, its great..
They could take this game so much farther if they made it more RPG style, with multiple characters (not at the same time tho of course) and different plot paths.. MGS2 had enough plot twists to keep me interested tho.. (for anyone who's played the game, the Hal and Emma Emmerich cut scene is the best in video game history, but Otacons secret: WTF?! ahahah that Hideo)
I give this game 2 tired thumbs up, and I am going to buy a Playstation2 as soon as I have the flow.. Can't wait to play FFX and FFXI
