Saw it. Hated it. Bunch'a schticky gimmicks strung around a transparent plot and highly predictable. i guess this is one of the reasons i raised the issue in the first place. i am more inclined to believe a bad review than a good one. i am hoping that someone will come to the defense of Cursed. whi...

sounds like a ploy to hoodwink the citizens of Carlisle out of an artifact that is bringing them a bit of noteriety.

another good plot device for a side-trek.

i have to agree the E is a setting for younger gamers (people who have been playing less than 3 years). for people like myself (over 10 years from the D&D Basic Set), i think that veterans know what they like and stick with it rather than sample a potpurri of gaming worlds. i got on board RL fro...

Wow. No one mentioned The Shining ? As a kid, watching those twin girls show up at the end of the hall messed with me for years. Years and years.

I always saw Shinji as the DL stylised character in EVA. He wanted isolation and when he had isolation he wanted companionship. He wanted to be accepted and at the same time he longed to be rejected. He was heavily cursed. Of course, End of Evangelion I saw as something the DP's would put forward t...

I saw SEELE as the 'Darklord' group or perhaps symbolism for the Dark Powers themselves. They gave Gendo the power (who really only wanted to get his wife back), helped create the Evas, sent men to their deaths to reclaim it in the movies, orchestrated Third Impact and placed the entire world in da...
