Kill Bill is so ridicuosly stylized that I can't see how anyone could impose reality on it as some form of criticism. Tarantino did a video interview with a British publication (a Bit Torrent is floating around the interweb) and he said Kill Bill was his first movie for movie's sake as opposed...
Does anyone know if there will be an import soundtrack with most, if not all, the songs from the movie? The American version seems to be missing quite a bit. RZA is definitely a great producer but I think he ruined the Ode to O-ren Ishii with that half-assed rapping/storytelling. The Japanese...
Appearance wise, that's a nice translation of a comic book character to live action. I think one of the shortcomings of the Batman films (except the first) was that Burton and Schumacher tried to replicate most of the exaggerations of comic books like costumes, architecture, and overall...
The British officially returned Hong Kong to China in 1997 and from what I've read it hasn't changed as much you'd expect. Beijing doesn't have the same power over it as mainland provinces.

Walter: I like the grayed-out Beast option. Now that would be an interesting RPG element not involving leveling up.
I haven't played the alpha yet but I don't doubt that it is amazing. This is probably one of the only games where it can be said that the graphics (and audio) make the gameplay. I mean, it is basically the same type of "find the key and shoot monsters" situation in the original. Simplicity can...

Thank you puella. It's kind of weird being in the middle of Japanese 101 and seeing Berserk now. I can only read the kana and understand desune,korewa, and other simple things. Troll carnage is very comprehendible though.
