Age has not wearied this wonderful movie. The best skeletons in movie history.

Check out Talos waking up. He doesn't look very happy. Also my God check out Nigel Green, plainly enjoying himself immensely as Hercules.

I love Ray Harryhausen and revere him only slightly less than Michelangelo.

    I have a friend who I always sound super pretentious when talking about final fantasy to. He likes FFVII the best, and he doesn't like FFVI because he got to the world of ruin and there was no direction so he put it down.

    And I'm all THAT'S THE POINT, YOU HAVE NO DIRECTION BECAUSE THE CHARACTERS DON'T! You have to make your own direction, choose your own goals, because the entire point of this part of the game is that even in desolation we can find things to strive for, and life is still worth living and if you will just pay attention to this theme-

    and then I realize I sound like a crazy person so I stop.

    No it's really okay

    Work just got me and I didn't even see my notification until it was too late


    anyway, I wasn't prepared

    I would have probably done something weird like "Hypospadias [Chat]" or "Let's Watch this Animated Demonstration of SRS [Chat]"

    I just read a summary of the Star Ocean storyline mentioned previously.

    That sounds like it was almost a good idea sparked by hearing about the universe as a simulation.

    omg this is amazing *cries*

    The main person got an operator to come on, who reported on how to stop the entry/exit tone, left, and then suddenly the main person went silent, and there was 5 minutes of awkward "can you hear me?" "Yes" ring around the rosie

    This is absurd

    I loved the world of ruin.

    The WoR was great

    I can actually, now that my friend has pointed it out, kind of see his complaint - it's an abrupt shift in a lot of things.

    But I think that shift is what makes the game great. It could not delve into sorrow and loneliness and the struggle to find meaning in existence without it. If the entire game were in the style of the WoB, it'd be a serviceable RPG. But the WoR stuff, the character growth, the characters' personal victories, and the celebration of life, and love (to directly quote part of the conversation leading to the final battle) is what makes it interesting. I can easily see someone being disappointed if they are in the game for a video game-y plot where they save the world. But if you're in it for characters, for complex stories, then it needs that part of the game, and it does it amazingly. Everything about the world of ruin feels shitty, but at the end everyone separately finds something to live for. I think that's much more important than "WHOO WE SAVED THE PLANET GOOD WORK GUYS"
