Stamen - GTA IV: The Lost and Damned, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, Flower, Waltz with Bashir

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 – running time 55:21
Will GTA IV's new DLC make you feel Lost and Damned? The PS3 gets Flower power! Can an animated documentary work? Movie trilogies ranked! Plus, Jeff v. Alex at the Puzzle Quest release party!

This week in Movies:

Alex, Dan, and Jeff discuss a very unique film this week, the Best Foriegn Language Oscar nominee, Waltz with Bashir. Is it possible a documentary in Hebrew about a war in Lebanon can actually be... cool?

The guys debate the merits of this chart, which tries to graph the relative qualities of several major film trilogies. Is it geek science or weak sauce?

This week in Video Games:

Two major downloadable releases this week. First, That Game Company's gorgeous, sanguine antidote to dark, violent shooters, Flower. Will Alex, Dan, and Jeff be dazzled by its simple beauty, or yearn for more substance?

Then, the ultimate violent, adult video game series, Grand Theft Auto, gets a new main character with the download-only add-on, The Lost and Damned. Is it a bold new direction or more of the same?

Plus:

As possibly the world's most outspoken Puzzle Quest fans, Alex, Dan, and Jef just HAD to be at the fan appreciation/launch party for Puzzle Quest: Galactrix. And what better place to try the out the new game's versus mode than in a Dippin' Dots-fueled throwdown?

Check out waltz with this year than -- yeah Oscar. -- in New Orleans documentary category foreign language foreign language whining trash. And then of course to me is even waiting for for a long time notable ones don't -- When it was -- I want to actually -- what a wonderful group that is in that category our mess is that backgrounds. Yes John from Ecuador got -- come from sent in from Ecuador yeah sent this when it's our flowery background out of our -- slander summons. Because came management put. Something's not look it's there is no sponsors that. -- Director of the big enough command of a movie comes out today and if it doesn't Enron's anyway and I and I actually they didn't show show him. -- announcement yeah."

" This weekend movies we are talking about an Academy Award nominee inflict that we have not seen when Annan. But we had not seen Academy Awards FYI and error and it already. -- winner might not trust the way you're away you'll be the following week because we haven't seen yet at the time of taping correct flat -- so we're going to discuss Waltz With Bashir which is Israel -- entry into any foreign language can. Academy Award it is it. Essentially at any minute documentary. Mean by this -- are -- you. Survived the 82 Lebanon war. Ended. Sort of interviewed. His. Friends -- it also experienced the war ended told this story. Of their experiences. By adding meaning. There interviews and their stories but it is not. -- broader -- so it's not the virtually greater waking life com. This -- darkly not that it's actually been essentially flash animated big."

" It's really cool illustration and graphic novel on access. In and it's not just that he survived -- participants in the weather soldiers right absolutely yeah well you think it was when we wanted to share. You know it's about all that stuff it's a -- it's about -- on warmer it's also a movie about the nature of memory. And as such it's sort of a series of short stories. And it. Is that it's about memory. Memory is often don't imagery and sound. And I think it's so appropriate that this movie was. Animated and animator in the way it was because. So much of how we deal with memory is is these images and and they're so beautiful. In this film. I love the -- as we said. Strangely. I fell through most of the movie very emotionally detached. And I think that was intentional and it's all almost -- movie's credit so very non sentimental. Until the end. And the end which I did I do not want to spoil the the film making takes a turn. In not a plot. The way but in a film making way that hit me like a ton of bricks that jump was jarring and shocking. And emotionally very -- very affecting and bum. So for the most the movie I was I was sitting there going I'm not really mostly for about this and I was at the end it's interesting to me that this movie I'm really glad I saw this movie. I didn't overwhelmingly love it but. I'm glad that I saw I -- and I'm glad he's from the biggest reason is that it's about something that I didn't know."

" Out and -- I learned a lot about it with this isn't you bring up both of those things because the I really enjoyed this movie I do love the movie but I really enjoy Disney because it was sort of a movie that was."

" Something you've never dreamed I'd never seen before and C documentary. And it's I mean. It's what does it I didn't know who's in that manner not in any -- to see it that way. Presented his and I knew I was such a great a great thing tonight I will disagree with you for me. The end filmmaking choice I've got me in the overall somebody had hidden. 888 heavy handed yes I -- me that I had gone back you know I mean and and so for that to come in I was almost like. That's the easy way that's the way to get me without getting anything -- animation you know and in some -- to mean I was like -- But also I would say I agreed I think what I loved most about this movie was this is something that I had it. Not know. In information not at all I mean I was sort of like I think this is this is like. Does it happen right into. -- mean. And I thought they was sort of that it can take aside on it it was very informational it was very much like. Sheer. Is somebody that was he in this thing that happened."

" And he's trying to remember did vice through stories about it."

" But it's not in never really was like I'm gonna do a movie about this horrible thing that was so that he has obviously was not good. Thing that happened but it didn't come from upside if he were the people that our fault and I'm going to attack them -- my movie nannies are really -- the sort of the point."

" Yeah I think I may have loved I think I might have loved and ending. On any should forget that feels like it -- in my believe Britain needs me as a whole not top five or ten but if -- in America Online. I love the animation into gorgeous and I -- that they are really love them. Pretty violence. And it's and it's like a dirty pretty that I love and there's a lot of energy. And there's also moments of stillness. -- but that's there was a lot of really good moments of not. Talking. In animation that's rare because a lot of times you fill it with and it means I just like and then this other asking me and Wally and in one. Congress district but nobody it's visceral acting -- we are a young guy he wants to see you work your -- woods is still appealing in that way but it'll it'll be a more. Profound who -- our more information that you wouldn't it and it's a more enriching experience in just seen. I don't know I mean because I'm sticking with it reminds pretty profound -- is similar but whatever. Com. So -- movie definitely go check out it is it is not some final Lang wage. Documentary it's kids is learning what exactly. Yeah yeah. Total is freaking awesome. While and I loved the film thinking throughout and the and you didn't listen my tech techniques you. Downfall. They had. Murder -- under home whenever all -- that also was spectacular and that I've I've got a really effective choice and then you like you I was really like clothes off. I can't. Overwhelmed sell out there you know. I know -- a good that I picked this -- winner for the foreign language films and now I'm actually I'm ready for that and it that I didn't get through Sunday night a lot of my name out there really is -- I do want to see that they take that. Don't -- when they -- that okay so moving -- there's a mental thing hitting a wedge this week that's totally up our Alley is none has din -- next. I ain't gonna listen to -- that -- artwork that he didn't think this trilogy here. So he basically -- typically -- out. The greatest trilogy ease of our times not anybody by scientifically mean completely arbitrarily and it."

" I'm chaotic even shows some things are much more then and then trilogy but it is seeing it as okay what do I think that's a great you know. Sell out it's all behind us my friends and colleagues compared trance. It's basically a series of bar graphs right yeah that. Compare. The relative qualities of the three movies grass I think would've probably are pretty much agreed on Star Wars. I angry and hire a little bit better than the other the other two didn't."

" Yeah I I am not as."

" Much in agreements -- the union Jones and I think that sex -- temple of -- to -- reuse the did not live up to the first or the third and I actually was -- prefer the third to the first freely and Moneyline does that night."

" I was very -- for me I love I do. I president. Now I think drizzle start as I've said before the show is a perfect movie yeah zone and I don't think -- it's perfect yeah. I I I think he's just hard for me I think number one. Amazing and number two and three I'm the guy who loves to -- right now I thank you know what they're both very high and the agents I think have -- a major issue major issue with the matrix Andy and you know it's so that -- three even have blue in them. In vogue."

" among the you know geek knocks the Internet from illuminati back to you. You say that good luck the second to matrix films are just garbage that they are not I in my opinion I think I do. Really liked to the third one I think the third one should be. Two thirds of the way up badly which I look there's that war sequence I was so into it and it's visually incredible as a pacing and."

" For me matrix I think is. What else hero the problems heroes hat which was."

" This discovery. Of the world of the matrix wasn't the most ingenious. And created an amazing thing."

" That now just seen stories told in that world to me was just not as exciting -- the other very good point I'm that was and that's just the -- Isn't really. CG in the last. You tiger because out like we're always right yeah. Com so I checked I think that Star Trek should be allowed to be in here is not true that's really easy one and sue Robinson for -- this. Isn't here you know to you is so Manning too graphic -- is what I like he's got up. A television way I mean like you know there's -- just it's still exciting and worth -- Superman. You know I did when I first looked at the charter I was like how can one be lower than two and then what. Yeah -- a superhero movie. Got an end you know shoot as the awesome I'll give up my power is saying that as big kick -- The hero the heroes throwing -- the Pepsi or Coca-Cola sign in the middle of times you know automatically I had never no one should be higher Intel next to it was a along with these are yeah the bad guys whatever his -- generals on the you're trying to say start out at all -- show that I'm I'm into I'm not a detailed. You'll before Zahn did dress and -- I think one should also raised in the first up there all -- well there's an attack. I'm not a very high. I mean and I mad max. What it would just him I was just his eyes addressing our ranks. Yeah he's a restaurant -- the first on his way to I think I think things -- much -- I think three should definitely oh my jumps on sir I just. And -- both jobs doesn't talk recently about -- not not not that it should be as high as one -- one is long tails -- I -- swimming -- three -- to an art it's been at odds are we already added to expand we all agree on insurer."

" I. Yeah I think I enjoyed one better than Tim sent didn't like three Spiderman I'm -- went to his way out of the -- the serious Danny's brain is dismal I wouldn't which resells are down but I. We've got mad max speed I agree other then one should be higher and three should be lower he has three -- want."

" For I don't think anyone that will once again we're done you know one thing and he did indeed. And mad max is a lot like Rambo."

" Yeah more Americans equal rank for -- night but I got an."

" I know what I want -- wanna light so yeah."

" Did little I don't know why it happened -- okay it's that moment when his solo is at three is higher than one for and I hear that a -- They all run together in my hand I. I have a hard time remembering which one was bullish on the us should never had sequels and two is better to do with Roy shiner ends -- first when I saw is way better than Dennis -- in different game like this Schneider isn't. Roy Schneider John Schneider and a I think god I'm sure. How little bit different. Differences but I was thinking of."

" Like any other top are there any -- Yeah there's a lot of things and has less than an acre one comes out that you and I think aliens greeted Tarrant treated and let it is that."

" I didn't and I feel like you have an issue with the diehard. Yes thank you can die hard. I like how high art too we should be way lower and -- should be equal to one that's meant. That is you know actually dig that chart. Yeah I think to being that I handle is sort it was on Tuesday. DC Dulles pass doesn't get that -- of those machines and -- what do you think that I learned. A kind of sugar is I think children's recently I know you've seen entering the -- I'm. Things manually adding their -- want to make another announcement that you haven't seen very -- scene at a Sony was the theater which is -- is -- she and it's great book but I think the Yankees right I go to the rings is just flat line. I didn't want to -- it is that is part of that's part that they -- right Stuart."

" Soon holy crap we're here are puzzled plan we are that one of the coolest com bookstores in LA meltdown comments don't presenting launching for a long time I'm just nice write down asking employees to work. -- But behind that door right now is neat. Paul looks flat on the west electrics yeah. Fan appreciation party -- prison and throw a fan appreciation party in Orlando launch party down it's literally just advance person understands that lineup got off the top black chicks are free busily at Thanksgiving until Iraq certainly aren't. Is is -- as we are. We fans we are thinking man and yeah houses like I'd say reluctance and true pioneers on project car and he and the brightest yes wait in line got a dichotomy and now I'm jealous of him.

Does the school was -- it's going to tell you how excited I'm feeling an account hot dogs and popcorn and different knots. The minute. That's -- understand there's --"

" Waiting in line right now to get our hands. Watching me right showdown between two very intense players. And you know there intense. Because the because he's it's different gods. Have become. They didn't know that the I had lost their Donna did not Indian."

" I save my brain around midnight."

" You then you're actually a flat just like three weeks ago I love. Yes okay those kids at home don't play when somebody takes the longest Alex."

" The upper right corner. Once everybody. And I and everybody okay my eyes out as."

" And -- don't you tell them you just keep -- keep instructing Alex."

" 800 million -- I know. Wow hi -- Change the Alex don't know the new album is standing. I get NIK mart they're all okay I ever wrong. I didn't -- a new -- is giving you."

" Larry that's."

" You know I was while your term is going on can be like manipulating my menu and checking out my tax. Deadly game of cat on his -- And the mouse. Oh okay. Oh my god what he's thinking now.

Is that you don't have to recharge well now you're okay you know -- uncertain -- like ten gigabytes is the man and am -- Beginning is going to go into an entire -- and you know unless -- Dallas and San Antonio women and it's not as -- without Natalie."

" Time. Yeah. You're crazy and it shouldn't be -- to online things they can."

" Okay. And up ailing -- and me. Wine I actually prefer this vs. I yeah."

" Little like yeah. You know they've done is they've they've really he emphasizes."

" Due another return because its other players the first thing you are more important --"

" Why are you okay. I never saw finally finds out it's -- that was that you have now because somebody got a mile nine I was. Designer who I'm I've never seen that are okay you know my -- so random things. On the warnings I don't know its. -- members. There are more Madonna -- guy that was."

" Oh more okay he's there aren't a guy."

" And it's not -- very different very different that I like yeah you can even adding that you women singing."

" galaxy news. Tonight I also look I love the."

" Pulling him from different -- because they're very much came into play like you might want from this side and he made his next."

" Call one from the other side and help protect myself a little better now okay."

" I don't know I don't know. So we have two big downloadable games this week 14. By the Xbox 360 exclusively and one for the PS3 exclusively restarted yesterday one. And it's a game called flower and it's from that game company and designer Gerald Chan. Who have previously did I've done -- a game called slow. Which was. Early on the PS3'S life aid downloadable game we use. It's almost like the first the first segment much more difficult person as well yes there was any martial art -- exactly you do things and grow its amoeba and there really wasn't much shooting game two it was more of an experience. And flour is similar in the sense that it's it's very much about the experience but they had. A little more games you there's a little more objective based stuff you basically play as the wind it. And you fly through these gorgeous outdoor and lush environments while sometimes lush. Although I would hesitate if that's not spoil those -- shirts and waving hands flat -- and can I don't know what level the last few levels -- and a so I -- you -- you wind and you can you fly by these little flower pods and you Benjamin popped them open. Petals. Get on your Windstream. And you wins your your head all the sound sexual night. Your paddle your paddle trail gets longer and -- speed up if it would insult. You're just old goes and -- this thing and yes. Johnson and most of write its all the same. So anyway it's it's very reminiscent of a senator she -- slash -- commands type game but done in this gorgeous 3-D. Thing so to steal. A phrase from my friends over at -- listen up podcast. This game is awesome how awesome is this game."

" Trent Johnson sir and I love club. I like (%expletive) -- it. I want to let it. And you right in this is a little bit more in very similar and lower its collapse -- its collection me just like -- was. But as a little bit more objective to X. And far more gorgeous looking and sounding. It we said I think gorgeous and I'm gonna show there's never been more appropriate thing for this game. Beautiful -- a word that comes to mind is very appropriate. A word you may choose to use later on his wonderful. On perhaps they warm glass of -- It's -- dean. It's not it's not the ultimate game it is it is not the ultimate challenge is definitely still more of an experience. And bomb but it's incredible to have experience in affected how -- felt. I played it I I don't need it and I think more can I just wanted to have that."

" One of the big things science and even mention and describe in the game is its. Controlled completely with a six axis controller and that's a big deal death it. It you -- you push a button to accelerate but any button will do for that segment and you control the entire fans with the success this controller. It's a game that is he doesn't do you gain equivalent soon."

" The -- Barack. In saying okay. General like planet earth or something yeah -- I think Robinson. Yeah it was backs it was facts is that it's it's. Beautiful old gorges serene and relax saying. Becomes frantic -- former you know like the Indy it is not -- Lee aid to."

" Mean. That it's like an experience. Like it's like it's like it. It's a lot I think dueling TU. Let it happen performance art show until it was indeed it was kind of like how it's a really hard to explain experienced. Now. They've prisons are Edmonds didn't go so much an it person. -- in -- games to be games and experiences to me other things."

" It was really. Enjoyable. But I didn't love it buddies -- and they -- presses like."

" And intense yeah I'm real -- hearing things -- And it would be. -- I'm looking ahead."

" And then it was -- bird -- liked it where did you think your own good moments. Not relaxing though that led to. Create a real I think there was little bit -- and then it became beautiful and yes. Let me let -- doesn't understand yeah I -- say that's the last lap and was beaten him most."

" satisfying. Flower pot in the that's doesn't the last level it amendments to me it was just like it. It's just another love -- you -- the level and I was like okay I'll do this -- youth but it did the action wasn't. This theme that you deal to me wasn't. Enjoyable enough. That really what it was I could have taken this controller and had I had the ability to just putting down and watch that same thing that I just didn't happen -- I think that would have had just about as much of these engines."

" Why I disagree that there's. Thread in the form right now that says about how much is just gonna love this game and if I knew I will agree with the highest rated poll which is I think it's beautiful wonderful. If the PS3 wasn't 400 dollars I would say it's worth buying a history for the scam which is ten dollar game. And admittedly very short -- finished in one sitting. It really proves he should innocent ones and yes I agree. I couldn't not I can't go I gotta go to sleep one man I totally one more a lot of hay -- really like setup process that -- But. It is it is such a wonderful experience that proves. That."

" Video games can be so much more than what they have been. And I mean that is such a little lesson from this and the inspiration from this because. You know I look -- talked about -- last week I loved me a good shooter I'm excited about gears of Maurer and Kayla I'm excited about those types of games. But when all we get -- those games and we get them over and over and over and it's it's the same thing over and over and then this breath of fresh air no pun intended comes along then. Yeah that is. Well okay it was intended. That isn't it is so it was so wonderful. To experience and I."

" Clearly enjoying the --"

" Earnings and I'm not I don't want people to think -- like this game I'd like this whole lot. It's just that for me it was like it didn't -- game of -- I was watching and let watching movies is hidden game Carolina."

" Our product or -- I think it is but I think. We gave England because I don't know when you know I don't think actually watched a lot Priscilla plays games only watching someone bowl when you go here yeah."

" I have so I mean there's this game like mir's age. There's something that very rarely do games you mentioned to you need to -- a sensation. Like that's -- unique like you just calling it like really got senate does pick out of Miami resident now wait to fit in musically and human things -- I just like. Felt like yeah I never had a flying dream and I feel like I'm playing this gives me that all so I."

" I'm surprised you didn't bring this up I was struck by how there is a narrative that's conveyed with him not us I -- words not a single person not written not spoken. There's no. Instructions there's no menu there is no words and you always know exactly what to do I swear to god and that is. Beautiful game designer and actually this story have quit on Scott C which is so much progress this sad that that -- be the perfect and you never really double bill play this game and see Korea just got that I was talking about the other maybe the it is relaxing game. Biggest downloadable content release. And our. Rumor on the street is that Microsoft page fifty million dollars for the exclusive look exclusive rights to two. Downloadable episodes of the Grand Theft Auto IV and the first one is the lost and damned. In which you play a -- in this game -- gang called the lost. And so you're not playing. Our friend -- you know back. -- Yeah you played peripheral character in the same universe that we saw in in Grand Theft Auto Ford's main storyline but now we see what is going on in this biker gang is a very different avenue there's new mechanics. You -- information on I'm on a motorcycle with your game. Thank god they've added into the head and the checkpoints munition. You I know you and I both were huge fans of for the -- did this this is different very different experience similar but different."

" Yeah I think it's really interesting because I did not like. Susan thank you and me and and and GTA four adds it's echoed this year which she is. There's so much to light. About this game and end this is a game and it's it's stunning. Yes downloadable content -- to mix flour surely nobody saw I mean it's you -- mean my -- This the concept of the game from these. Me to beat a guy who was the leader -- biker gang. Whose leader got out of jail he got my game going -- great direction and the leader came back from like no we're just in both hands and now you've got to be -- an inline. Loved it voice acting again that's great in this thing I did this horrendous and I'm sort of want to get blizzard here -- what I. -- So let you know it's like the movies. -- this big game player it should have been done riding with your buddies on your bias is great if the riding on a bike was. Asking you mean so it's one of those things where it's like getting off -- getting off their bike and shooting people is fun shooting people in -- game. So for me. I enjoy reading game because I enjoy the life experience of I'm a biter in a biker gang and we go and 200 fix anything from none of that stuff the first and here's a -- that was a real quick before I. We acquiesce and then send the senator here. Which is. If I locked into a driving away. That I think that it would be weird if the designer's worst business are you supposed to drive to make it. But bearable which is basically following all the traffic. Laws. And that's an idealism and realism but that's not what Grand Theft Auto used to be guy but he isn't really that's what it is no and that's what and -- is."

" Now it says I -- much slower in this game."

" An option I think you can see marry you -- me I don't I didn't find that much different I've done some things were enhanced. Obama bias like the -- weren't much better than being in the previous game but it. I'm Bob lovely isn't -- best voice acting -- grad. And our united way you always say which is so the controller down way to Reagan -- dig out. It's even -- what I like about this game upside -- room."

" And -- yeah that's -- of the best performance is. The best script for anything that related stories are told. I I it's better than movies it's better than -- and getting movies. That there's so many tells that I've said about the previous one better measure repeating green that when you're underneath the bridge risks of reed didn't tells I don't get west is inexperienced beyond making the fact that I love those long drives from here -- man unlike. Anything I'm going to do to believing in this city that is living this city is -- and -- is amazing. Is did get hit the times of day to constant changing of times a day and it's -- it's raining and beautiful wasn't that and is constantly changing gee don't get. A lot of video games as sort of a unique. I think it is how constant in this and help every walk. It's completely unique and equally he do you have."

" I found myself constantly deal. Darting my eyes to make sure I didn't miss a turn."

" And that's in the NFL you've played the game in the -- Manhattan felt like boy this really happens just even like a little -- how you get -- you're going I have to -- the only I did not like I -- having ligament in his dissent is that it got his turn three hot seat I would say just -- this is any -- any argument that I don't I'm driving chemical or should be difficult I think I remember my first and it was typical but eventually -- played more I got -- from the control -- Chris -- are going to. Terribly I don't get away about it but I don't think the Mac is like. On subtitles for me it's like I'm looking young -- it was and I even had a lot of fun and neither can be I don't think this was in the non not a lot of demand it is he -- he -- he's got cinematic and I got to just things like to with a camera."

" Com with select but I thought I thought that his it was a lot of fun to death wish him well you know up. I was gonna starlet life what I liked about the game which is which is I loved the concept I don't -- has ever been done before I love the concept of what Grand Theft Auto IV is is a city. There happens to be these stories happening in the city yeah but I kept out of four isn't the story of Niko Bellic. Nikko -- happen to be the first chapter but what they created was this city and now you're seeing things and all happening and you -- from different angles smart brilliant yes and I'm excited to see what the next chapter this stuff -- I also like about this game that you start where you start is is seems to me totally about how. Halfway through. Where you started with -- need to start with nothing and you accumulate stuff with when you start as Johnny. You you start where he's got bad ass weapons she's got a long way to get around the town already that's that's really useful seed you start with -- and I and I didn't like they -- slog through that. That the tedium out of the beginning of crap the stuff for. Unfortunately even the I found that the on the controls in this game are still broken. And I and I was really keeping an -- and who would probably do this debate and I push right on the right on the -- stick and there's a pause between when I let go and then he moves right. I try to push the right bumper to get -- cover. And I don't know if I push it and I wait to see he's going to get -- cover anything dozens under the cushion again and then he gets the cover and gets out of cover and I don't borrow.

That I could not play this game in the -- situations without holding down okay. -- to run to run -- the walk is so slow and never use science and never useful when you're getting shot at.

Academy Award it is it. Essentially at any minute documentary. Mean by this -- are -- you. Survived the 82 Lebanon war. Ended. Sort of interviewed. His. Friends -- it also experienced the war ended told this story. Of their experiences. By adding meaning. There interviews and their stories but it is not. -- broader -- so it's not the virtually greater waking life com. This -- darkly not that it's actually been essentially flash animated big."

" It's really cool illustration and graphic novel on access. In and it's not just that he survived -- participants in the weather soldiers right absolutely yeah well you think it was when we wanted to share. You know it's about all that stuff it's a -- it's about -- on warmer it's also a movie about the nature of memory. And as such it's sort of a series of short stories. And it. Is that it's about memory. Memory is often don't imagery and sound. And I think it's so appropriate that this movie was. Animated and animator in the way it was because. So much of how we deal with memory is is these images and and they're so beautiful. In this film. I love the -- as we said. Strangely. I fell through most of the movie very emotionally detached. And I think that was intentional and it's all almost -- movie's credit so very non sentimental. Until the end. And the end which I did I do not want to spoil the the film making takes a turn. In not a plot. The way but in a film making way that hit me like a ton of bricks that jump was jarring and shocking. And emotionally very -- very affecting and bum. So for the most the movie I was I was sitting there going I'm not really mostly for about this and I was at the end it's interesting to me that this movie I'm really glad I saw this movie. I didn't overwhelmingly love it but. I'm glad that I saw I -- and I'm glad he's from the biggest reason is that it's about something that I didn't know."

" Out and -- I learned a lot about it with this isn't you bring up both of those things because the I really enjoyed this movie I do love the movie but I really enjoy Disney because it was sort of a movie that was."

" Something you've never dreamed I'd never seen before and C documentary. And it's I mean. It's what does it I didn't know who's in that manner not in any -- to see it that way. Presented his and I knew I was such a great a great thing tonight I will disagree with you for me. The end filmmaking choice I've got me in the overall somebody had hidden. 888 heavy handed yes I -- me that I had gone back you know I mean and and so for that to come in I was almost like. That's the easy way that's the way to get me without getting anything -- animation you know and in some -- to mean I was like -- But also I would say I agreed I think what I loved most about this movie was this is something that I had it. Not know. In information not at all I mean I was sort of like I think this is this is like. Does it happen right into. -- mean. And I thought they was sort of that it can take aside on it it was very informational it was very much like. Sheer. Is somebody that was he in this thing that happened."

" And he's trying to remember did vice through stories about it."

" But it's not in never really was like I'm gonna do a movie about this horrible thing that was so that he has obviously was not good. Thing that happened but it didn't come from upside if he were the people that our fault and I'm going to attack them -- my movie nannies are really -- the sort of the point."

" Yeah I think I may have loved I think I might have loved and ending. On any should forget that feels like it -- in my believe Britain needs me as a whole not top five or ten but if -- in America Online. I love the animation into gorgeous and I -- that they are really love them. Pretty violence. And it's and it's like a dirty pretty that I love and there's a lot of energy. And there's also moments of stillness. -- but that's there was a lot of really good moments of not. Talking. In animation that's rare because a lot of times you fill it with and it means I just like and then this other asking me and Wally and in one. Congress district but nobody it's visceral acting -- we are a young guy he wants to see you work your -- woods is still appealing in that way but it'll it'll be a more. Profound who -- our more information that you wouldn't it and it's a more enriching experience in just seen. I don't know I mean because I'm sticking with it reminds pretty profound -- is similar but whatever. Com. So -- movie definitely go check out it is it is not some final Lang wage. Documentary it's kids is learning what exactly. Yeah yeah. Total is freaking awesome. While and I loved the film thinking throughout and the and you didn't listen my tech techniques you. Downfall. They had. Murder -- under home whenever all -- that also was spectacular and that I've I've got a really effective choice and then you like you I was really like clothes off. I can't. Overwhelmed sell out there you know. I know -- a good that I picked this -- winner for the foreign language films and now I'm actually I'm ready for that and it that I didn't get through Sunday night a lot of my name out there really is -- I do want to see that they take that. Don't -- when they -- that okay so moving -- there's a mental thing hitting a wedge this week that's totally up our Alley is none has din -- next. I ain't gonna listen to -- that -- artwork that he didn't think this trilogy here. So he basically -- typically -- out. The greatest trilogy ease of our times not anybody by scientifically mean completely arbitrarily and it."

" I'm chaotic even shows some things are much more then and then trilogy but it is seeing it as okay what do I think that's a great you know. Sell out it's all behind us my friends and colleagues compared trance. It's basically a series of bar graphs right yeah that. Compare. The relative qualities of the three movies grass I think would've probably are pretty much agreed on Star Wars. I angry and hire a little bit better than the other the other two didn't."

" Yeah I I am not as."

" Much in agreements -- the union Jones and I think that sex -- temple of -- to -- reuse the did not live up to the first or the third and I actually was -- prefer the third to the first freely and Moneyline does that night."

" I was very -- for me I love I do. I president. Now I think drizzle start as I've said before the show is a perfect movie yeah zone and I don't think -- it's perfect yeah. I I I think he's just hard for me I think number one. Amazing and number two and three I'm the guy who loves to -- right now I thank you know what they're both very high and the agents I think have -- a major issue major issue with the matrix Andy and you know it's so that -- three even have blue in them. In vogue."

" among the you know geek knocks the Internet from illuminati back to you. You say that good luck the second to matrix films are just garbage that they are not I in my opinion I think I do. Really liked to the third one I think the third one should be. Two thirds of the way up badly which I look there's that war sequence I was so into it and it's visually incredible as a pacing and."

" For me matrix I think is. What else hero the problems heroes hat which was."

" This discovery. Of the world of the matrix wasn't the most ingenious. And created an amazing thing."

" That now just seen stories told in that world to me was just not as exciting -- the other very good point I'm that was and that's just the -- Isn't really. CG in the last. You tiger because out like we're always right yeah. Com so I checked I think that Star Trek should be allowed to be in here is not true that's really easy one and sue Robinson for -- this. Isn't here you know to you is so Manning too graphic -- is what I like he's got up. A television way I mean like you know there's -- just it's still exciting and worth -- Superman. You know I did when I first looked at the charter I was like how can one be lower than two and then what. Yeah -- a superhero movie. Got an end you know shoot as the awesome I'll give up my power is saying that as big kick -- The hero the heroes throwing -- the Pepsi or Coca-Cola sign in the middle of times you know automatically I had never no one should be higher Intel next to it was a along with these are yeah the bad guys whatever his -- generals on the you're trying to say start out at all -- show that I'm I'm into I'm not a detailed. You'll before Zahn did dress and -- I think one should also raised in the first up there all -- well there's an attack. I'm not a very high. I mean and I mad max. What it would just him I was just his eyes addressing our ranks. Yeah he's a restaurant -- the first on his way to I think I think things -- much -- I think three should definitely oh my jumps on sir I just. And -- both jobs doesn't talk recently about -- not not not that it should be as high as one -- one is long tails -- I -- swimming -- three -- to an art it's been at odds are we already added to expand we all agree on insurer."

" I. Yeah I think I enjoyed one better than Tim sent didn't like three Spiderman I'm -- went to his way out of the -- the serious Danny's brain is dismal I wouldn't which resells are down but I. We've got mad max speed I agree other then one should be higher and three should be lower he has three -- want."

" For I don't think anyone that will once again we're done you know one thing and he did indeed. And mad max is a lot like Rambo."

" Yeah more Americans equal rank for -- night but I got an."

" I know what I want -- wanna light so yeah."

" Did little I don't know why it happened -- okay it's that moment when his solo is at three is higher than one for and I hear that a -- They all run together in my hand I. I have a hard time remembering which one was bullish on the us should never had sequels and two is better to do with Roy shiner ends -- first when I saw is way better than Dennis -- in different game like this Schneider isn't. Roy Schneider John Schneider and a I think god I'm sure. How little bit different. Differences but I was thinking of."

" Like any other top are there any -- Yeah there's a lot of things and has less than an acre one comes out that you and I think aliens greeted Tarrant treated and let it is that."

" I didn't and I feel like you have an issue with the diehard. Yes thank you can die hard. I like how high art too we should be way lower and -- should be equal to one that's meant. That is you know actually dig that chart. Yeah I think to being that I handle is sort it was on Tuesday. DC Dulles pass doesn't get that -- of those machines and -- what do you think that I learned. A kind of sugar is I think children's recently I know you've seen entering the -- I'm. Things manually adding their -- want to make another announcement that you haven't seen very -- scene at a Sony was the theater which is -- is -- she and it's great book but I think the Yankees right I go to the rings is just flat line.

It's almost like the first the first segment much more difficult person as well yes there was any martial art -- exactly you do things and grow its amoeba and there really wasn't much shooting game two it was more of an experience. And flour is similar in the sense that it's it's very much about the experience but they had. A little more games you there's a little more objective based stuff you basically play as the wind it. And you fly through these gorgeous outdoor and lush environments while sometimes lush. Although I would hesitate if that's not spoil those -- shirts and waving hands flat -- and can I don't know what level the last few levels -- and a so I -- you -- you wind and you can you fly by these little flower pods and you Benjamin popped them open. Petals. Get on your Windstream. And you wins your your head all the sound sexual night. Your paddle your paddle trail gets longer and -- speed up if it would insult. You're just old goes and -- this thing and yes. Johnson and most of write its all the same. So anyway it's it's very reminiscent of a senator she -- slash -- commands type game but done in this gorgeous 3-D. Thing so to steal. A phrase from my friends over at -- listen up podcast. This game is awesome how awesome is this game."

" Trent Johnson sir and I love club. I like (%expletive) -- it. I want to let it. And you right in this is a little bit more in very similar and lower its collapse -- its collection me just like -- was. But as a little bit more objective to X. And far more gorgeous looking and sounding. It we said I think gorgeous and I'm gonna show there's never been more appropriate thing for this game. Beautiful -- a word that comes to mind is very appropriate. A word you may choose to use later on his wonderful. On perhaps they warm glass of -- It's -- dean. It's not it's not the ultimate game it is it is not the ultimate challenge is definitely still more of an experience. And bomb but it's incredible to have experience in affected how -- felt. I played it I I don't need it and I think more can I just wanted to have that."

" One of the big things science and even mention and describe in the game is its. Controlled completely with a six axis controller and that's a big deal death it. It you -- you push a button to accelerate but any button will do for that segment and you control the entire fans with the success this controller. It's a game that is he doesn't do you gain equivalent soon."

" The -- Barack. In saying okay. General like planet earth or something yeah -- I think Robinson. Yeah it was backs it was facts is that it's it's. Beautiful old gorges serene and relax saying. Becomes frantic -- former you know like the Indy it is not -- Lee aid to."

" Mean. That it's like an experience. Like it's like it's like it. It's a lot I think dueling TU. Let it happen performance art show until it was indeed it was kind of like how it's a really hard to explain experienced. Now. They've prisons are Edmonds didn't go so much an it person. -- in -- games to be games and experiences to me other things."

" It was really. Enjoyable. But I didn't love it buddies -- and they -- presses like."

" And intense yeah I'm real -- hearing things -- And it would be. -- I'm looking ahead."

" And then it was -- bird -- liked it where did you think your own good moments. Not relaxing though that led to. Create a real I think there was little bit -- and then it became beautiful and yes. Let me let -- doesn't understand yeah I -- say that's the last lap and was beaten him most."

" satisfying. Flower pot in the that's doesn't the last level it amendments to me it was just like it. It's just another love -- you -- the level and I was like okay I'll do this -- youth but it did the action wasn't. This theme that you deal to me wasn't. Enjoyable enough. That really what it was I could have taken this controller and had I had the ability to just putting down and watch that same thing that I just didn't happen -- I think that would have had just about as much of these engines."

" Why I disagree that there's. Thread in the form right now that says about how much is just gonna love this game and if I knew I will agree with the highest rated poll which is I think it's beautiful wonderful. If the PS3 wasn't 400 dollars I would say it's worth buying a history for the scam which is ten dollar game. And admittedly very short -- finished in one sitting. It really proves he should innocent ones and yes I agree. I couldn't not I can't go I gotta go to sleep one man I totally one more a lot of hay -- really like setup process that -- But. It is it is such a wonderful experience that proves. That."

" Video games can be so much more than what they have been. And I mean that is such a little lesson from this and the inspiration from this because. You know I look -- talked about -- last week I loved me a good shooter I'm excited about gears of Maurer and Kayla I'm excited about those types of games. But when all we get -- those games and we get them over and over and over and it's it's the same thing over and over and then this breath of fresh air no pun intended comes along then. Yeah that is. Well okay it was intended. That isn't it is so it was so wonderful. To experience and I."

" Clearly enjoying the --"

" Earnings and I'm not I don't want people to think -- like this game I'd like this whole lot. It's just that for me it was like it didn't -- game of -- I was watching and let watching movies is hidden game Carolina."

" Our product or -- I think it is but I think. We gave England because I don't know when you know I don't think actually watched a lot Priscilla plays games only watching someone bowl when you go here yeah."

" I have so I mean there's this game like mir's age. There's something that very rarely do games you mentioned to you need to -- a sensation. Like that's -- unique like you just calling it like really got senate does pick out of Miami resident now wait to fit in musically and human things -- I just like. Felt like yeah I never had a flying dream and I feel like I'm playing this gives me that all so I."

" I'm surprised you didn't bring this up I was struck by how there is a narrative that's conveyed with him not us I -- words not a single person not written not spoken. There's no. Instructions there's no menu there is no words and you always know exactly what to do I swear to god and that is. Beautiful game designer and actually this story have quit on Scott C which is so much progress this sad that that -- be the perfect and you never really double bill play this game and see Korea just got that I was talking about the other maybe the it is relaxing game. Biggest downloadable content release. And our. Rumor on the street is that Microsoft page fifty million dollars for the exclusive look exclusive rights to two. Downloadable episodes of the Grand Theft Auto IV and the first one is the lost and damned. In which you play a -- in this game -- gang called the lost. And so you're not playing. Our friend -- you know back. -- Yeah you played peripheral character in the same universe that we saw in in Grand Theft Auto Ford's main storyline but now we see what is going on in this biker gang is a very different avenue there's new mechanics. You -- information on I'm on a motorcycle with your game. Thank god they've added into the head and the checkpoints munition. You I know you and I both were huge fans of for the -- did this this is different very different experience similar but different."

" Yeah I think it's really interesting because I did not like. Susan thank you and me and and and GTA four adds it's echoed this year which she is. There's so much to light. About this game and end this is a game and it's it's stunning. Yes downloadable content -- to mix flour surely nobody saw I mean it's you -- mean my -- This the concept of the game from these. Me to beat a guy who was the leader -- biker gang. Whose leader got out of jail he got my game going -- great direction and the leader came back from like no we're just in both hands and now you've got to be -- an inline. Loved it voice acting again that's great in this thing I did this horrendous and I'm sort of want to get blizzard here -- what I. -- So let you know it's like the movies. -- this big game player it should have been done riding with your buddies on your bias is great if the riding on a bike was. Asking you mean so it's one of those things where it's like getting off -- getting off their bike and shooting people is fun shooting people in -- game. So for me. I enjoy reading game because I enjoy the life experience of I'm a biter in a biker gang and we go and 200 fix anything from none of that stuff the first and here's a -- that was a real quick before I. We acquiesce and then send the senator here. Which is. If I locked into a driving away. That I think that it would be weird if the designer's worst business are you supposed to drive to make it. But bearable which is basically following all the traffic. Laws. And that's an idealism and realism but that's not what Grand Theft Auto used to be guy but he isn't really that's what it is no and that's what and -- is."

" Now it says I -- much slower in this game."

" An option I think you can see marry you -- me I don't I didn't find that much different I've done some things were enhanced. Obama bias like the -- weren't much better than being in the previous game but it. I'm Bob lovely isn't -- best voice acting -- grad. And our united way you always say which is so the controller down way to Reagan -- dig out. It's even -- what I like about this game upside -- room."

" And -- yeah that's -- of the best performance is. The best script for anything that related stories are told. I I it's better than movies it's better than -- and getting movies. That there's so many tells that I've said about the previous one better measure repeating green that when you're underneath the bridge risks of reed didn't tells I don't get west is inexperienced beyond making the fact that I love those long drives from here -- man unlike. Anything I'm going to do to believing in this city that is living this city is -- and -- is amazing. Is did get hit the times of day to constant changing of times a day and it's -- it's raining and beautiful wasn't that and is constantly changing gee don't get. A lot of video games as sort of a unique. I think it is how constant in this and help every walk. It's completely unique and equally he do you have."

" I found myself constantly deal. Darting my eyes to make sure I didn't miss a turn."

" And that's in the NFL you've played the game in the -- Manhattan felt like boy this really happens just even like a little -- how you get -- you're going I have to -- the only I did not like I -- having ligament in his dissent is that it got his turn three hot seat I would say just -- this is any -- any argument that I don't I'm driving chemical or should be difficult I think I remember my first and it was typical but eventually -- played more I got -- from the control -- Chris -- are going to. Terribly I don't get away about it but I don't think the Mac is like. On subtitles for me it's like I'm looking young -- it was and I even had a lot of fun and neither can be I don't think this was in the non not a lot of demand it is he -- he -- he's got cinematic and I got to just things like to with a camera."

" Com with select but I thought I thought that his it was a lot of fun to death wish him well you know up. I was gonna starlet life what I liked about the game which is which is I loved the concept I don't -- has ever been done before I love the concept of what Grand Theft Auto IV is is a city. There happens to be these stories happening in the city yeah but I kept out of four isn't the story of Niko Bellic. Nikko -- happen to be the first chapter but what they created was this city and now you're seeing things and all happening and you -- from different angles smart brilliant yes and I'm excited to see what the next chapter this stuff -- I also like about this game that you start where you start is is seems to me totally about how. Halfway through. Where you started with -- need to start with nothing and you accumulate stuff with when you start as Johnny. You you start where he's got bad ass weapons she's got a long way to get around the town already that's that's really useful seed you start with -- and I and I didn't like they -- slog through that. That the tedium out of the beginning of crap the stuff for. Unfortunately even the I found that the on the controls in this game are still broken. And I and I was really keeping an -- and who would probably do this debate and I push right on the right on the -- stick and there's a pause between when I let go and then he moves right. I try to push the right bumper to get -- cover. And I don't know if I push it and I wait to see he's going to get -- cover anything dozens under the cushion again and then he gets the cover and gets out of cover and I don't borrow. There are so many many many many times that I die in Grand Theft Auto IV it is because I don't know if the control. Controlling my man is doing what I wanted to do there was one -- that big shoot out in this game. I want is to go and get to cover behind a car walked up to the hood of the car and pushed to cover thinking he wouldn't go down behind it he crawled onto the top of the car and got undercover. On the top of the card -- shopping constantly. -- game is is broken from a control point of view and I thought that such a shame because it's such an exciting. World to be -- I just cannot enjoy act when it's so fresh and."

" real big problem -- it wasn't quite those types of control problems but he was that. That I could not play this game in the -- situations without holding down okay. -- to run to run -- the walk is so slow and never use science and never useful when you're getting shot at. So then you're in a situation where. You can't yeah. When you're running so I would have to choose where I want -- hold on today but Barack cover Russ Britt especially -- to get -- color. Then I'd be able to and we're what I really want to do with the cover as I'm straight in my sheets of me I just feel like it's not a good to be handled like a."

" Servers and a lot of this particular downloadable content is big gunfights. Which is pretty looks great on the ice into the other -- thing is there's such a variety of things to do. Then there's machines we're gonna talk some pipe bombs on the -- it and there's such it's gonna pick apology earlier grand theft autos and again this seemed kind of mission is coming. And he's -- the -- there are so great and has gotten format -- even more so this is a wonderful variety of things to do that I didn't expect to meet."

" That's a big downloadable content really does feel like an on again Jeff. Can't."

" Hello we get to you know at the bottom skis in the show we would like to thank our sponsors it's amazing sponsors this glanced days.

Is it just me, or does the DLC for GTAIV really not matter at all? I haven't touched the game in what feels like six months, I just couldn't care less.

Still, the disappointment oozes from my body as I realize that once again, I will not be able to see a live TRS. Perhaps if you guys decided to inch a little closer to the East Coast (Chicago would be GREAT), we could do something.

You know, the Taste of Chicago is pretty rad...
