  • Oh yeah, saw PotA aka blink or you'll miss Kris Kristoferson.  I bet Blotus's favorite movie actor is Kris Kristoferson.  Anyway, I enjoyed watching PotA....Now on to my random critique of the movie previews...

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 14pt Plakatbau; text-align: left; '>It was at best standard sci-fi fare. You can't reasonably elevate it just because of the metaphysical nature of the story - nothing was done, the potential wasted.

And don't bring up that 'story' advantage games have in rebuttal, either. I'd gladly take the transpirings of 'The Godfather' over most RPGs I've played.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Plakatbau; text-align: left; '>On the contrary, I probably had expectations just as low as yours. It was a bit of a surprise to see how below those the movie actually came in.</div>
