Busy weekend!
The Machinist is a very very good movie. Not much I can say about it without spoilers but I loved it and recommend it for people like me who enjoy mind-fuck films.
Animation Now! was its usual mixed-bag self. I kinda hated a couple of them, I loved a couple and the rest were enjoyable and forgettable. I found myself realising during the screening that I've seen so many animated short films now, and I remember only a few. The ones I really liked I remember and the ones that really disturb me. My favourite one on Saturday was called the Mysterious Geographical Explorations of Jasper Morello. You can see the art style here. It's all silhouette steampunk flying machine fun, looking forward to that becoming available on DVD.
Final Fantasy Live Game on Saturday was way fun. I felt pretty in my outfit although the body fishnet made my vinyl bustier a little...slippy-downy. The fights were great fun, three people from the party lining up in battle pose and then running foward, performing their attack and then rejoining the line in true FF style. Performing victory dances was also fun, although I think Giffy gets the most-appreciated prize for her one.
My other favourite parts were the scenes with one or two characters walking through and everyone else stayed in the same place and had one or two lines that they'd say if the player approached them. It was so fun being the person wandering around and being a person with one line. Especially since the line I got to repeat was quite ominous and cool.
more later. lunch now.
