'Just Rewards (2)'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Metal Gear Solid!
That's the one where the guy gets an exclamation point over his head, right? When we do the Video Games Live concert, they have a guy who prowls around on stage in costume, and then he's surprised by something, and the exclamation point pops up over his head. It's cute.
That's the one, Dana. I love the exclamation point and the accompanying sound effect.
(Also, it appears over the guard's head, not Snake's.)
It's lead character is called Solid Snake. (!!!!)
Okay, see, I was seriously imagining that the "problem" would be that people would be so engrossed in playing the game that they wouldn't leave the house to go to the movies.
I'm surprised it wasn't. I had no problem imagining scores of thousands of people saying "Oh, Iron Man looks pretty cool. I'll go next weekend. This weekend is totally GTA time."
'swhat I'd've done if there'd been a new Final Fantasy game.
they're probably not the getting-out-of-the-house-much audience to begin with.
Bwah-hahahahahahaha!
He did leave the house this weekend. And did stuff around the house that was NOT playing GTA4. I swear.
Metropolitan-Governed Sewers.
That's Grand Theft Sewer Urchin.
GTA V: CHUD City
the theatre two blocks away was showing three prints on four screens.
So...how does this work? Do they have a mirror to split the projection of one of the prints so that two screens can show it at once? And is one of the viewings thus completely flipped left/rightways??
Or else I am imagining an hilarious caucus of the poor employees, finishing the reel on one screen, rewinding it, running down the hall to the next screen, and starting it up, just in time to do the same thing for the next reel that finishes. Like musical chairs!
Not Laga, but projectors have an add-on piggyback system, so that the film will run from one platter (the thing that holds the print), through the projector, over to the other projector, through it, and then onto that projector's platter.
what Ailleann said. And also you need two projectionists to say, "one, two, three!" And hit both start buttons at the same time. The potential for errors is high. It's called interlocking and we hates it.
