I am honestly expecting to like it a lot more than NWN2, which I don't like very much. I think having a high level DND campaign will fix a lot of my issues, in that I am willing to forgive a lot if the campaign is interesting.

I think you'll still have some issues iwth the camera, but you'll find performance to be very nice and the setting and characters are certainly not ordinary bland D&D. If anything, I think that the story has a sort of weird Gaiman edge to it, and the characters are not the happy go lucky rah-rah squad that you had the first time aroud.

Post by: TVC15 on October 16, 2007, 04:43:04 AM: Hmmm, if the same camera options from the original are available, plus banding box, I should be fine.

Do you pretty much get 100% direct control over all party members this time?

Yeah, there's a toggle in the UI to turn off the AI and you can just pause/queue up commands as you see fit. Protip-if you want fast fights with no AI burning items/spells, turn off AI, banding box your melees to assist on one target, and drive the fight from the perspective of one of your casters.

I will say this-the camera is way better than the original one. However, that's more a testament to how bad the first one was rather than how great the new one is.

Chloe Webb. I am not sure who that is.

Hmm me neither. There were rumors that Courtney Love was going to play Nancy in some new Sid/Nancy movie so I just wanted to make sure it wasn't her, because if it was I'd die inside a little.

:D

Courtney Love is in the movie, I believe as one of Nancy's friends, but I am not positive. This was like 7-8 years before anyone knew who she was.

Post by: Ichirou on October 16, 2007, 06:27:29 AM: Courtney Love is in Sid & Nancy. She tried out for the part of Nancy but didn't get it, so the writer/director Alex Cox wrote a small part especially for her.

Gary Oldman is amazing in this. His transformation into Sid Vicious is incredible.

I love this movie. Does the DVD you got have any extras, TVC? I have the one you pictured, which has nothing except a trailer as a bonus feature. If the transfer's improved and it has cool extras (like an Alex Cox or Gary Oldman commentary, for example), I would definitely upgrade.

:bow Alex Cox :bow

Three Businessmen
El Patrullero
Sid & Nancy
Revengers Tragedy
Repo Man

I am a huge fan of Heath Ledger, Matt Damon, and Terry Gilliam plus I love goofy fantasy flicks. But that film was pure shit. Have you seen it before?

Post by: Rman on October 16, 2007, 02:52:25 PM: Does anyone else hate those generic Blu-ray steel borders on the cover of some releases? I think HD-DVD has them too in a different style, though. Those things are such a turn off.
Title: Re: It was Monday, what did you buy?
Post by: Ichirou on October 16, 2007, 11:19:53 PM: They're just meant to distinguish the BR/HD-DVD releases from regular DVDs. If/when one of the formats reaches mass market penetration, I suspect they will quickly disappear.

Post by: Smooth Groove on October 17, 2007, 01:39:26 AM: I went a little nuts with the BD/HD-DVD sales at Best Buy and Circuit City. Some of them are films that I don't even think highly of. This is probably the most that I've ever spent on movies.

Post by: Smooth Groove on October 17, 2007, 01:48:13 AM: I got Surf's Up because it had the "two thumbs up" endorsement. lol

The Reaping purchase was due to Swank's acting ability/nice rack and the fact that I love horror flicks. I'm disappointed to hear that it sucks but at least it only costs $15.

Didn't you check out the CC sale that you told me about? CC's system is messed up so any Blu-Ray/Hd-Dvd is buy 1 get 1 free until the sale is over. Thanks for telling me about the sale btw although my wallet probably hates you.

Yup. I saw it in theatres. I didn't think it was bad, just disappointingly average, and Hollywood, for Gilliam. It was better than, say, any summer movie from this year, though.

There are two special features on Sid and Nancy. For the love of Punk and Junk Love. No idea what theya re, probably terrible.
