It was a good approach...not trying to answer everything but just clarifying the question. The producer also presented the whole of GitS quite well. I am relating right now to cy...

Beautiful work. It would be cool if/when player does something "wrong" it grabs the attention of The Laughing Man and the TLM symbol pops up onscreen and other indications somehow...and you lose control of your flippers for a brief period.

Regardless of what many feel about the adaptation itself, one has to admit the SFX were high caliber...at least the Academy thinks so as Ghost in the Shell has been placed on the Oscar shortlist for Visual Effects.

Laeta Kalogridis is continuing her GitS-like run with Netflix' new show Altered Carbon. Apparently it is the most Netflix has spent on a sci-fi series...about a cyberpunk future where the affluent can afford to access body "sleeves", granting them immortality. Created by Kalogridis who was...

In all of it's early 90's glory, I waited in line for the SNES classic, pre-loaded with 21 games. Yay, Street Fighter 2! Apparently Nintendo is stocking up more on these since the NES classic ended up being of a lower unit production and now it is a premium priced item. I missed on that, but I got t...

Why is Walmart claiming an "exclusive". I can't tell from the ad if there is something extra in there or not. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ghost-In-The-Shell-Blu-ray-Walmart-Exclusive/55749852 Looks like what I purchased from Best Buy. Not sure what is the Wal-Mart exclusive. I just read th...

Well, I finally saw the film. Usually when I review a film, I try to stick to the piece itself...and not get into history or other influences...as I have been taught to do so in art appreciation. One tries to solely judge a work based on its own merits...or demerits. But this film, I find it difficu...

Just bought the Blu-Ray...haven't watched it yet. I must say that in spite of having bombed in the theaters, people have snapped up the new release as all of the Steelbooks were gone and just a few regular Blu-Rays were remaining when I purchased it.

Hey, hey, hey! I'm good. Been in and out of the hospital last several months. I have multiple myeloma...in short, bone marrow cancer deemed incurable. Lots of chemo cocktails that have kept it at bay, but still it gets the best of me at times. My specialists are looking into CAR-T trials for me. We'...
