SonicRob: does history have a “plot”?
FyreHaar: good books do
FyreHaar: Plot is just the story arc
FyreHaar: and the civil war is a pretty damn good one
SonicRob: plot is the imposition of illusory order upon the chaos of reality. it is the most fundamental way in which human beings fool themselves about the nature of existence
SonicRob: not that we have a choice
SonicRob: we turn everything into narrative
SonicRob: our minds just work that way
FyreHaar: are you saying that plot is an aspect of the gestalt mechanism of the human psyche?
SonicRob: like we are seeing bunnies in a cloud
FyreHaar: our inbuilt pattern recognition firmware
SonicRob: yes
FyreHaar: well, yeah
FyreHaar: ohh, I see a bunny in the sky…

SonicRob: Shinji Mikami, Goichi Suda and Akira Yamaoka are making a game together
FyreHaar: what have they done before?
SonicRob: That is like me saying that Sam Raimi, Spike Jonze and Danny Elfman are making a movie
FyreHaar: whoa
FyreHaar: freaky
SonicRob: Mikami invented Resident Evil
SonicRob: Suda invented No More Heroes and Killer 7
SonicRob: Yamaoka did the soundtrack for all the Silent Hill games and the film
FyreHaar: so a sort of Shawn of the Dead kind of game
SonicRob: they are like a Japanese videogame version of the Traveling Wilburys
SonicRob: that’s the thing, they are innovators
SonicRob: so who the fuck knows what they’ll do when you put them together?
SonicRob: I desperately hope there are no zombies in the game
FyreHaar: could be awesome, could be horrific could be blah
FyreHaar: blah would be worst
SonicRob: but it is supposed to be “action-horror”
SonicRob: yeah
SonicRob: I’d prefer a spectacular failure

FyreHaar: have you realized that Bigelow and Cameron are exes?
Sonic Rob: I have
Sonic Rob: it is a big deal about the Oscars
Sonic Rob: battle of the exes blah blah
FyreHaar: but seriously I hope she wins
FyreHaar: a woman hasn’t won
FyreHaar: only the fourth nod
Sonic Rob: the movie was good
Sonic Rob: Dunno about best movie of the year
Sonic Rob: Cameron may win it simply for dollar signs
Sonic Rob: which would say something about the academy
FyreHaar: it was a towering achievement
FyreHaar: and if LOTR won it makes sense that avatar would win
FyreHaar: they both pushed organizational and technical boundaries
Sonic Rob: it is a powerful bit of technique, granted
Sonic Rob: but the film itself
Sonic Rob: I don’t know
Sonic Rob: there is more to a film than how hard it was to make

Sonic Rob: they have obviously never heard of fructose
FyreHaar: fuck cake
FyreHaar: cake is for fatties
