Ebert suffers from several flaws.  For one thing, he takes himself way too seriously.  He also is old, and is thus culturally irrelevant.  Games aren't art my ass.

They aren't art.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.

Oh, I know.  I read it years ago.  Roger Ebert's a fine critic, but he's not the mouthpiece of God, and is often wrong.

North isn't great, but it's good goofy fun.  It's silly to begrudge it for that.

No, that film is lousy.

Yeah I'm wondering if the office will be like that today as I think I'm one of the few who didn't take it off.

Our office is open (for some reason, Austria considers Good Friday a Protestant Holiday, so it's not a public holiday here), but we close 2.5 hours early. :)

I'm going to try to get out of here early to go to a brewery & have some of their Belgian Quadruple while it lasts.

I just found out that Germany's deputy minister of defence is French.  :ph34r: :frog:

What? He's from Saarbrück like Lafontaine or Aachen ?
Huguenot family like de Maizières ?
He has a French mother and served in the French army.
And Hollande just said France has 'friendly tension' with Germany :ph34r:

I have long thought that France and (unified) Germany on the same side would be trouble for anyone in Europe not named France or Germany.
