Can love really bloom on a battlefield?
"Otacon is like Snake's gay sidekick. But in a platonic way."
Oh David Hayter, you are so adorable. linked to me by Leslie, of coooourse.
Also: "I think the next game should be like The Godfather II." (what he means is, events in Snake's career paralleled with events in Big Boss' career. The Godfather, Part II shuttled back and forth between Vito Corleone's rise to power and his son Michael's handling of the family after his death). This is bizzare, because that's exactly what I wanted to see after finishing Snake Eater for the first time. Granted, Portable Ops has made the concept somewhat irrelevant (TRUTHFULLY, I JUST WANTED MORE BIG BOSS BECAUSE HE IS ADORABLE ♥ AND BIG BOSS ERA CHARACTERS BEING ALL YOUNG AND FROOFY BECAUSE I AM NERD). But still...
THE POINT IS MGS4 LOOKS TOO AWESOME. MGS IS THE ONLY GAME I WOULD BUY A NEXT GEN SYSTEM FOR. Final Fantasy? I can wait for Final Fantasy. I can't wait for Snake. D: I'm going to have to put a fucking loan out for this thing.But I really, really don't want to buy one until at least 2008. Also, if all goes as planned I'll be, uh paying rent instead. Damn it, Kojima, why u so awesome?
What was the other point of this incoherent rant?
The point is: THEY ARE REMAKING 'ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK' AND IT CONTAINS 0% KURT RUSSELL. WHO THE HELL IS THIS? I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S NOT KURT RUSSELL! I DON'T CARE IF EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WAS ALL SEXY SEXY BISHIE MAN WALKING AROUND IN '300' WITH NO CLOTHES ON, HE CAN'T TOUCH THIS!! I know he's good at wearing underwear while simultaneously wielding a sword, but can he speak ONLY using the back of his throat? Can he look like a bad ass motherfucker while surfing against a poorly edited blue screen? CAN HE BEAT COMPUTERIZED CHESS SIMULATIONS WITH GOOD OL' FASHIONED ALCOHOL? There is a standard of heart-stopping bad assery here that I fear may be hard to live up to. D:
- it's all in jest (mostly). I honestly don't see a need TO remake 'Escape from New York' and am kind of afraid they'll update everything and strip it of it's super-80's, dirty-punk, layman's-dystopia, BLING BLING cheesalicious charm. :P I believe the remake could still be a fun movie on the surface, buuuuut:
leslie and i are still going to see it opening day and wear eye-patches or something.
unless she's living in toronto.
LESLIE THERE ARE TOO MANY IMPORTANT THINGS THIS YEAR/NEXT YEAR FOR YOU NOT TO BE HERE. I MAY HAVE TO BURY YOU IN THE BACKYARD SO YOU CAN BE WITH ME AAAALWAYS.
.... *hums Guns n' Roses?*
There is the unfortunately fact that Snake Plissken IS Kurt Russell. Snake Plissken is cool (like, undiluted and unadulterated), but he's not cool because he's ruthless or because he's grizzled or because he wears an eyepatch. He's cool because Kurt Russell is cool and the character is as much the actor as he is John Carpenter's and Nick Castle's screenplay. I guess it's the way some people feel about Sean Connery's James Bond, but I liken it more to the Star Wars actors. There was a lot of Harrison Ford in Han Solo, no one else could ever play him.
Or, to make this sort of cohesive: David Hayter is Solid Snake (oh my god yes, what would we do without him?). This is extra relevant because Solid Snake is just David Hayter doing his best Kurt Russel impressionwhile gurgling brandy.
EITHER WAY, KURT RUSSELL IS THE BEST ACTION MOVIE HERO EVER, Y/Y?
In case you were wondering: Yes, actually, I DID have a great weekend. I was home for a total of six hours between Friday morning and tonight, 8:30PM. Which normally I would find stressful and teeth-gratey, but I just had a lot of fun simply... being around people the last two days. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Also, I'm a loser and got up to level 276 in Tetris. I was trying to beat Tim's high score by at least a hundred levels so I could be IMMATURELY AND SELFISHLY SATISFIED and not have to touch the damn game for a long, looong time. But then I got tired. Either way, Tim? *raspberries*shoot for the stars!
