Nice analysis, but the signifigance of money being important in the game isn't that much of an insight - money is important in all of them. Also, there's been a heist of one kind or another in the last four instalments. I don't know about the 'Stories' games, because I haven't played those. The game being based around a bank job seems a little thin for a game like GTA.

The theory of multiple protagonists is interesting based on the information at hand, but it's all guess work. My guess (and this is just that - a guess) is that it won't have multiple protagonists initially. Like IV, there'll most likely be DLC later that will offer that, but I can't see that being in the base game. The game's always been about personal attainment, and SA (which V seems largely modelled on) was even more so. The pictures and trailer, so far, haven't given any indication that the people you're seeing in them are even the player. Maybe they're keeping the identity of the protagonist under wraps until the second trailer - who knows.

Having said that, it could turn out that you're spot on, and we'll have the GTA version of Left4Dead - online 4 player co-op. Ugh.

The screens look great,  but they lend more to the idea that V will just be a clone of SA in the same way IV was a clone of III. There was nothing surprising in IV, maybe with the exception of bikes, which we didn't see in III. Looking at these screens, once more there's no real surprises - bikes and fighter jets. Yeah, we had those in SA. Naturally if there are any surprises, they'd probably be kept under wraps - I get that. But from the teaser trailer it doesn't look as though there'll be any surprises in terms of terrain either. We know what San Andreas looks like already.

I'm still of the opinion that V should have been set either in a completely fictional city, or a city we haven't seen yet. Something to make the experience of the environment at least completely fresh (the gameplay and story hasn't been fresh for a long time). I'll await the second trailer and hope that reveals something a little more tantalising than stuff we pretty much knew would be in the game anyway.

Despite being very good and a great conclusion to the trilogy, I can't help but feel The Dark Knight is still the better film. Pacing is one of Dark Knight Rises minor flaws - it often feels its length. Its predecessor never suffered that problem. Also, it's a cliche criticism now, but The Joker was the better villain. I didn't mind Bane, but The Joker was just more interesting and his agenda was more clearly defined - kill Batman. Bane's agenda seemed a little muddled and nonsensical - "I'll destroy Gotham with this improvised bomb that will explode in 50 odd days! Grrr!" Why not just make the thing go off immediately? You've now given your opponents 50 odd days to come up with a plan.

However, it was still a great movie with a great supporting cast and some well executed action sequences.

8/10.

Most of the bulk of a cat's head is made up of fur. If you see a cat's head wet, it looks almost skeletal. The re-touch looks infinitely better. But for some unknown reason something still doesn't sit right. It might just be the profile angle, because the neck on that looks way too thin (if that is in fact its neck). Perhaps it needs roughing up around the checks to make it look more like fur. Also, the whiskers and eyebrows should be way longer than they are, and curved - but I figure you just haven't gotten to that point yet.

Other than that, it's great.

Or don't use CCs at all.


Use Doritos.

I'm guessing the cancer coming back for Walter will be the main plotline of the new season. Dunno if any wires or sneak peaks have already hinted at that, but that's basically the only direction the show now has to go to wind things up.

Where to begin? It's pretty much what you'd expect from a movie bearing that title, but something wierd happens at about the half way point. You begin to believe that the lousy production values, terrible acting and line delivery and bizarre gaps in continuity are all actually on purpose - that it's a parody of bad movies. It's just that bad. In spite of how atrocious it is, you can't look away. From the hilarious to the just plain baffling, the scenes just maintain your interest for some strange reason.

P.S. The poster art in no way reflects the actual film. That title only barely.

7/10. (Yeah, it's one of those love to hate movies)

Nope.

...wait, yes.
