The picture is biographical. From his journal,

"I stopped and leaned against the [bridge's] railing, deathly tired -- looking out across the flaming clouds that hung like blood and a sword over the blue-black fjord and town. My friends walked on -- I stood there, trembling with fear. And I sensed a great, infinite scream pass through nature.''

You know, that feeling you get when you meet the Starchild.

I'll make a thread on Monday asking for clarification about what he meant.

I only had TWO beers.

We talked about it for twenty minutes..........

Maybe he has no idea.........

I... Im soo perplexed as-to... I cant even put my feelings 100% into words ....

...instilling confusion is art?... attempting to introduce something  Abstract, into something that was very literal...

....Why would that be a good idea?... How could it be a good idea?....

... I just.....  dont even know what to say right now..

I don't think he understood what I meant by Oneiric film theory. You know the theory we use to analyze films like......Inception.

It is HIS opinion though.

Taboo-XX. Since you work in the film industry (as I've understood it) it would be intersting to hear your thoughts about the Mass Effect movie (if there ever is one). Do you think it could ever work out? Should it involve the Shepard character or not? And when do you think it should play out? During the events of the Mass Effect games or maybe before? The first contact war for example?

I'm obligated by Norwegian law to point out that Edvard Munch was Norwegian.

Have you seen the movie about him by Peter Watkins?

I have not.

Back in 2008, I was in Oslo for business, and I saw the Scream painting in the museum.  It is really good, though I'm pretty sure I would have not known it was a good painting unless someone told me.  I also went to the Munch museum.  Good times.

Isn't that how it is with all art?

I just want to ask, why does the gaming industry have such a hard-on for the medium to be considered art?

Why should we care that some people who just don't care call games art or not? Would playing games become amazingly amazing tomorrow just because some curator at some gallery said games were art? Of course they bloody wouldn't...

Insecurity.  Both the players and the people in the industry want to be respected; they don't want the stigma of video games being 'for kids.'  It's shallow and kind of narcissistic, like a guy who refuses to go shopping with his girlfriend because he thinks helping her pick out scented candles will make him look gay.

I think developers and fans alike would be better off being a little less self conscious and worrying more about whether a game is fun over whether its art.

Should they do a Mass Effect movie?

No. And I don't want Mr. Hudson involved either. I just don't want him damaging Mass Effect in the film world too. And with Shepard? Really? Since when was Shepard the sole property of Hudson? They call them "our" Shepards for a reason.

Books and graphic novels should be made though. Although the people who are most likely going to read them are going to leave if Bioware doesn't hit it out of the park with the EC.

More about Oneiric film theory on Monday though. This is a big red flag for me, one that possibly solidifies that they truly had no idea what they were doing. Your opinion is valid over Bioware because of this error. Your interpretation has more credence than what Mac Walters says.

As nice as it was to talk with Mr. Buskell it really bothers me that such narrative techniques were explored unbeknownst to the audience. I was right.

AWE. PURE AWE.

[Taboo]

The narrative red flag has been revealed.....

I believe the producer said too much....

Taboo, i love your posts, i enjoy them. But... I feel pity for you. The hope which you carry, the torch of light you carry for quite a few BSN posters.... through your own efforts to grant that hope truth, it is crushed down to the abyss. sad panda Taboo, sad panda.

[oneyedjohn]

just read the Wikipedia entry on Oneiric film theory. I have a few thoughts myself about it and ME3, but I will save them for your post. this will be interesting...

A torch..........no.

A match.

A match.

I lead no one.

I only gather.

It won't be perfect.......but it will almost always be better.
