I know, but that's what everyone says. Figured I'd mix it up with Yoda speak.

Same boat.

Yeah, but that's cause I'm American and didn't pre-game that night, so there ya go. hahahaha

My Honda Accord is plenty economical, don't you worry. lol

I'm not saying I'm offended by it, I'm saying it's very cartoonish and funny to me how much my eyes are drawn to it. lol Don't worry, I like boobs too, and I've dated a few bisexuals, so girls liking this stuff isn't outlandish to me, it's just you definitely notice whoever drew her really focused on that aspect. lol

But yeah, Scott Pilgrim was a decent flick. Glad you had a nice day, mine was decent. lol

Yeah, I know why they did it, but as someone who studied this stuff in college, I feel like there were much better ways to keep some of that impact without compromising the MPAA rating, namely through the use of angles and long shots as opposed to shaky cam and changing the method of murder; but what they cut to in the districts after it happened almost made up for it, that was one of my favorite scenes.

I like the sound of Patlabor, which is funny, since it's the only one you mentioned I hadn't heard of. lol

If only I could have an iPod at the places I worked the late-night shift ... I took that dive straight into insanity. lol

Hope it's just the battery, though, that sucks to hear.

Yeah, I replayed it recently, and both my nostalgic and recent experiences were very positive and similar to yours. Very short and easy, but enjoyable while it lasts.

I don't care about zombies either, but I can't complain, because superheroes are getting milked to high heaven as well, have been for at least the past decade, and I eat it up just as much as zombie fans eat up their tropes and whatnot.

Honestly, if you're talking about 90s nostalgia, which is all over the internet ... I'm kind of from the exact generation that makes that so pervasive, and don't really mind it, though it has gotten very stale.

So I'll just thank you for the Troll 2 reference and leave you with this hilarious (I thought) Youtube clip, and maybe come back tomorrow with a more intellectual reason I agree with you on zombies, but like the arguably stale genre I do enjoy. Maybe. 

One of the specific details I was thinking of was who gave her the Mockingjay pendant in the books, not what I think you're thinking of, though neither were necessarily plot essential. Also, some diminishing of the violence made certain scenes less emotionally impactful for me. There were a few other changes, but I can't remember, and don't really care to, the movie was about as accurate as one could hope (hell, they even did a decent job of implying things like what the dogs were and why her mom was seemingly mute, if they never outright said it; or apparently they did, cause my ex gf who never read the book caught on quick), so meh.

As for Kick-Ass and Watchmen, I see the comparison, but I enjoyed Watchmen on a much more cerebral and emotional level, whereas Kick-Ass to me was just really good entertainment. Of course, I actually read Watchmen before seeing the movie, so that helped.

I don't really have a reference point for what you're talking about with old anime, since I'm a n00b when it comes to it (I'm one of those people that's only really gotten in Cowboy Bebop, FMA, maybe a couple Miyazaki films), but I was really into Power Rangers as a kid, so I understand the appeal of giant monsters/robots fighting. I'm certainly not doubting Pacific Rim will be great, just wondering if I'll love it as much as everyone else probably will.
