    Heh, it's definitely not for everyone.

    Kinda like Reno 911!: Miami?

    I watched in horror as these two women brought a bunch of what looked like 6-8 year-old girls to that movie... :-(

    For the record, all dozen plus folks that I went with the past two times had nothing short of an orgasm after seeing 300. I'll probably wait a while until I see it for a third time.

    Saw it last night at the IMax at the Mall of Georgia. It was my first Imax experience too. Movie was good, i wouldn't say great. I also wouldn't say it was at groundbreaking as the Matrix or whatever the commercial says. It's a good movie with some great scenes and some good camera work and visual imagery (spl check). As an action movie it's fantastic and i suppose the storyline is good but it didn't keep me guessing or anything, i pretty much knew what was going to happen. It also had it's fair share of titties and one giant shot of man-ass. I'm not really a comic fan, or a Frank Miller fan (I thought Sin City was ok) but i recommend seeing it. Alot of people were drinking in the theatre, and apparently college kids love frank miller, i was expecting some obese kids akin to the comic book guy from the Simpsons but mostly just trendy college kids showed up.

    IMax, eh? Must have been pretty wild. I wish we had one here in Montana...

    Anyone else pumped for this ultra-violent bloodfest? I just picked up my ticket for tonight and I can't wait. The reviews seem fair and almost all seem to mention the healthy dose of violence, gore and adrenaline, which is exactly what I've been hoping for. Extreme!!! I'm gonna go drink some Mountain Dew!

    Stay tuned...

    So I finally took my PS3 out for a run...what was meant to be only a 1 hour play quickly turned into 2, as I was playing a lot of Virtua Fighter 5. I haven't been this sucked into a fighter for a while, so kudos to Sega for maintaining a fine line of fighters. Unfortunately, as I turned off the PS3, I noticed it emits heat like a motherfucker - putting other consoles to the right of it is a pretty bad idea, as that's where it emits its heat.

    Yeah, man, Virtua FIghter is pretty badass. I just picked it up a couple days ago. The heat kinda worries me too, but it has helped as a mini space heater during this winter.

    Also, while my TV is shit, I'm pretty certain that the PS3 has poor support for older TVs - I'm hearing weird sounds when I do things like turn off the PS3 via the controller, and the picture quality isn't sharp. The refreshing of the image looks really bad...I'm hoping this is fixed with a firmware update, but somehow, I don't think Sony really dealt with it.

    PS3 no like old TV. Me want BIG Sony Bravia! ---So, uhhhh.... start saving up?

    Seems like, at this point, the only remedy is to buy a new TV, which is kind of a shitty deal, but I bit the bullet anyway and blew a grand on a Philips 32" HDTV (Which I would recommend.) I would have liked to get one with Ambilight, but that was a lil out of my price range.

    I don't see Bluray as much of a benefit though, i just bought an HDTV and it's only 720p/ 1080i, i couldn't afford a 1080p bravia or anything. But it seems more like you need a great TV to take advantage of the bluray player. But i suppose when i do get a ps3 (maybe next year though i'd like to say late this year) I'll probably start buying blu ray movies and ditch DVD. why the hell not?

    ONLY 720p/1080i? I gotta tell ya, it's nothing to shake your fist at. 1080p is far overrated. My Philips HD doesn't have 1080p capability, but the quality at interlaced mode compared to standard definition is very much noticable. I've only bought a few bluray movies (mostly because they're freakin expensive) but they look wonderful on my tv. I am quite content with it and probably will be for quite a while.

    Welcome to the club. Recommendations: Buy Resistance: Fall of man and rent Call of Duty... that's about it as far as I'm concerned. We can look forward to Rainbow Six: Vegas and Assassin's Creed in the near future. It's still gonna take a while for this console to bloom, but it will.
