I want to say he mentioned that on a podcast once, but I could be wrong. I just know that after the first semester of my Masters courses, I'd say it's a good reason to take a break for a bit. If I'm remembering correctly. Also, if that's even part of the reason if true, I don't want to speak for Jason.
You did say you never saw him do anything like that, but then said it would be in a top 10 list for him, but not strong enough to crack the top 5, and I thought you were referring to his performance in both cases. That's what I guess confused me. But I guess we agree WOWS is his best performance.
I don't find that to be a convincing argument for letting a bus full of kids drown, and the maybe still bothers me with or without what he says next. And just because it'll change a lot, again, doesn't mean you should consider that letting people die within the context of an existing alternative is in any way the right thing to do, in my opinion. I don't think it serves the greater good to do that just so Clark doesn't get found out.
You don't necessarily have to say anything else. You enjoyed the movie more than I did, see some of the moments in it a bit differently than I do, and I can't take that away from you. You're probably not going to convince me to like the movie more than I do, and I had a few more problems with it we haven't discussed. I'm willing to debate it more if you'd like, albeit I'll be increasingly slower in my responses due to focusing on other things, but it's not going to change the fact this is all like, our opinions man. ;)
I'm not a Final Fantasy fan, really, but artbooks appeal to me, and it would be really cool to see what would have been with a different artist.
I have not, but since I'm not a huge RPG fan, but do enjoy anime and hear that Persona 4 has great presentation, this intrigues me.
Plus, he's getting his Masters in Psychology, right? That's a big commitment, too.
I'm hoping to get Tomb Raider running on my laptop soon, and Stanley Parable sounds intriguing. Nice list. I did read them all.
I figured, but I wanted to make sure, since I don't know much about either game. And it's ok, I'm always sometimes stupid.
No, I understood what you said, and I thought it was funny too. Any hurt implied by the emoticons is largely a self-depricating joke, and not actual emotional pain. lol
I've seen all of the DiCaprio movies you mention except Gangs of New York, and I still think Wolf of Wall Street is his best and am curious what your favorite is.
And yeah, I know a lot of people hate on MOS because it doesn't feel like the Donner Superman that serves nostalgia, but I have no nostalgia to serve.
I'll have to look at that scene with Zod again, because while I saw the rubble, I didn't see that it was in all directions they had to go. Nostalgia Critic brought this up in his review, so I can see that scene again if I want without watching the whole movie, I guess.
And I agree the first Zod was more campy and did more scenery chewing, but I still thought Shannon's Zod was entertainingly over-the-top and I didn't take him that seriously for all his screaming. I know what they were trying to do with having a darker villain, but I found him entertaining for different reasons.
As for Pa Kent, I understand that he doesn't have all the answers, but I think a bus full of children should warrant something more along the lines of "in future, you should be more discrete about this, and we need to find a way to work on that, but I'm not sure how" not a "maybe" when asked if Clark should have just let them drown. I guess you could say his "maybe" was a shorter version of saying my former quote, but that doesn't quite work, because that one doesn't imply letting them die may have been the right answer. Also, I know he probably says this when he meets with that mom in the house (I drifted in and out a bit throughout the movie), but these are people living in an American farm town. Even if Clark was involved, just say something to the effect of "God used him/it was a miracle." Honestly, anything but "maybe" would have been fine. Yeah, adulthood is hard and scary and confusing and the world is complex etc., but I feel like a character such as Pa Kent should have the resolve not to imply that means letting innocent people die within the context of an alternative is the right thing to do.
Edit: the phrase "blah blah blah" has been replaced with "etc." in the last paragraph cause it was immature and rude, and I didn't mean to direct any of that at you. I will say that I find the complex world argument for some of the darker character choices made in modern media is often unconvincing to me, which is a whole other argument beyond just MOS.
Ah, ok. I'll be honest, I haven't used forums but for a period of time in high school on ultimate-guitar.com.
