Bit late to the party but I'll add Miike Takashi to the hat. He's made so many films that even though most of them are, charitably, awful, he's still made more great movies than most directors do in their lifetime. And they all do have stuff in common...

Ah yes........Mr Miike. I sure enjoy his aesthetic.

I really liked 13 Assassins. There's an action film with some philosophy behind it. But mostly just violence.

And more violence.

Maybe someone went utterly crazy at EA, but I don't think so.

I always was under the impression that being utterly crazy is a requirement if you want to work at EA. :innocent:

Actually what the problem is isn't malice. It's hubris but not in the capacity that I expected. Certainly not the Michael Cimino kind.

Head in the sky hubris.

I finally found a analytical method to apply to the narrative though and that might help a bit. I can even apply it to the ending.

You will be able to board the Omnibus tomorrow.

And you'll hear about what Pete Townsend has been doing if you want.

Yes, well I'll be cutting a bit deeper tomorrow. I'll apologize again for my vagueness of Friday. You'll have the whole story tomorrow, I'm still working on my notes and preparing things just because you asked for them. I wouldn't do this if I didn't care.

I saw a man who was in Mulholland Drive yesterday. Reality check. Nice to have that bring me back to the real world for a moment. Interesting thought while I watched him perform though. He does it because he loves it, not because he wants money. Something to think about.

Definitely. I wasn't aware members of that human sub-species were still alive. Thought the corporate goal had terminated them all.

I do it to. I make things because I like to, not because I expect to be paid.

You mean you won't be formatting your Monday post into .epub format and charging $3.99? Have you learned nothing from observing EA?!

No. I make enough money on set to do whatever I want. I own a small condo. It's not like I'm strapped for cash.

Now. As it stands right now you'll probably see some digs at people tomorrow, some speculations of my own. Some thoughts on marketability and producers,nuns,breasts, Hantavirus etc. etc.

And David Bowie. I can't forget about David Bowie.

Trust me though, it will all tie into something cohesive.

Taboo, the more I read your posts the more I'm convinced that you're actually an Alternate-Universe version of Mordin who went into the arts instead of the sciences.

The prospect of actually quantifying Bioware's "artistic integrity" is.....problematic.

Amazing how fast Priestly shut me down.

I thought I was entitled to an opinion.

Oh well.

You got 6-7 minutes lock-free, and one person managed to reply. Man, some people are so hard to please... :)

I am curious why he locked the thread, though. I didn't see anything particularly damning in it, and most has been said before on these same forums.

Well to be fair it had very little to do with the ME3 story or campaign, maybe try again in the general forum, i'm sure those heathens would be up for a read ^_^

Yeah I don't get that. There wasn't anything in your thread that was inappropriate. It's almost like Priestly said "Ok thanks for your opinion, but we don't want anyone talking about this so LOCKDOWN:devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil:".
