Keyan Farlander Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Huh? Almost the whole stupid movie (Titanic, I mean) was the love story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 The vast majority of Titanic was a love story. The vast majority of Pearl Harbor was not. In my earlier calculations, I forget every scene involving FDR. That adds quite a bit more of non-love story time. Now we're looking closer to 78-83% of the movie being war movie.

Guest Conor Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 I prefer the Silmarillion to LotR. I also prefer it to any other mythology (Greek, Norse, Egyptian). It is my favorite book. The emotions and visuals it invokes, especially of Feanor and Turin Turambar, are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova_wolf Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 Get that when I play something like Final Fantasy (FF7 - Death of Aeris and the Chicobo nest - you know what I mean) or Legend of Dragoon, but I REALLY get it when I watch Star Wars.. No seriously - during sequences such as : End of Empire, when the Falcon sets off and the camera pulls back for a full shot of the Alliance fleet, with the Redemption and her entourage set off against the apparant gaseous system behind them, the system's Star's light diffusing to light it up so beautifully, and the X-Wing convoy escorts streaking by... The Battle above Endor gets me shivering, as the vessels pursuit TIE's that harrass everything and anything, from armed corvettes to medical frigates. The Falcon screw diving into the heart of the Deathstar II... Actually, any excellent starfighter combat gets a shiver from me. Guess it's because it is something I would LOVE to do, but such technology may never exist, at least not during my limited life span anyway ! ------------------ Nova Squadron, the Elite B-Wing flight group stationed aboard the Nebulon B Frigate 'Oracle', home of the tech library.

JR2000Z Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 Final Fantasy VIII = most moving game for me. The event that moved me the most was the Sept. 11 event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR2000Z Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 I'd love to play Metel Gear Solid, that is untill I heard that there is nudity. And since that I have a little brother in the house, I dont think it would go well...

Guest Rogue15 Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Originally posted by Assassin: its blurred out..and barely noticable yes, when my friend (s1dc) first showed me the game and it came to that part i was like 'what the...' but it's blurred out, and i think u can even skip its cutscene. i'd get the game if it didn't say 'mature sexual content' on the back of it, cause my parents would see that and kill me.

Flying Beastie Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 I don't get really strong emotional reactions, either in real life or from movies/TV/games/books. The closest I've come is the opening sequence of Enterprise. It's neither the song, nor the visuals, but the way they fit together and sum up all of human history into about one minute. . . Come to think of it, music is the only thing that can really hit me. I love orchestra music; my favourite bits are the Earth: Final Conflict theme (because it's so unearthly), and the main title from DragonHeart (that sweeping violin fanfare pretty much describes what flying must feel like). There's also the first time I heard the Jurassic Park fanfare, but the effect's kinda worn off with repetition. Of course I do get a certain adrenaline rush when gaming (or watching) a really good fight sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted December 8, 2001 Author Share Posted December 8, 2001 I just saw Pearl Harbor... Fitting that I watch it on the 60th anniversary of the actual event (I watched it earlier tonight, which was still Friday at that point)... I spent the whole attack scene crying tears of vengance... But not against Japan. Pearl was a military target, and as such, I do not hold anything against the Japanese for staging an amazing operation, both physically and logistically... All I could think of was the Sept. 11th attacks, and how much I wanted to be over there doing something to defend the peace we have tried so hard to bring to this world... But I promised Terra that I wouldn't go, and I'm a man of my word, no matter how much I hate the person I'm dealing with... That's when I realized that some things are more important than promises.

JR2000Z Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Well, since the Taliban is bronken up, there really isnt much else to do. I would love to go back to the ruins of the WTC and see everything that has happended with my own eyes and go into the chash site by the Pentagon and see the shrines of the murdered. Everyone feels more saddened of they saw it with their own lives than on TV (and I thought what has happened on TV was bad enough). And thats what everybody's doing.
