adobe4578 I must be younger than some of you, Goldeneye for N64 was some pretty popular stuff back in 1997. way before all the deathmatching of Halo and Half Life, but it was incredible for its time.

Who is your pick for the booker?

jasbir_pro @jasbir_pro (283) • India 30 Jul 08

Who do you think would win the booker this year? Or who do you think should win the booker (there is always a hue and cry that the deserving person has not won) ?

booker

adobe4578 I dont Know, I tend to follow the National Book Award winners more often than the bookers. The Pulitzers are usually a good bet as well.

adobe4578 Its is a pretty amazing game. but one thing should be known: if you havent played through Parts 1,2,3 the game will make absolutely no sense. Ive beaten the entire series and there were even parts that i had a tough time following. But the story is so dense...

ishralene09 @ishralene09 (2260) • Philippines 24 Jul 08

adobe4578 Fallout 1 & 2 are two of my favorite games. The whole post-apocalyptic concept and gameplay, sense of atmosphere, characters, and on and on is so impressive. The game is now over 10 years old but i still play it regularly. As for Part 3 I still havent really...

I love old movies.

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 25 Jul 08

And when I say old movies, I mean OLD MOVIES, from day one, in 1895 when the first motion picture was filmed. I like silent pictures, I like stuff from the 1930s, I like film noir when it was really noir, I like the golden age of...

adobe4578 totally with you, I think that old films still have so much to teach todays filmmakers. the pioneers of silent films like Fritz Lang, Carl Dyser and D.W. Grifith are more amazing to me than todays big name diretors.

adobe4578 I think reading is really vital actually. The reasone maybe that so many dont read is because they missinterpret the activity. Or maybe they have been scared off by being forced to read in school, and have come to consider it work.

Trailers and Previews - Revealing Too Much?

doubloonie @doubloonie (535) • Canada 12 Jun 08

Do you still like watching the trailers and the previews of movies nowadays? I used to love watching the trailers of new movies in theaters and on tv, but nowadays I find that they reveal way too much of the movie. So that when I...

adobe4578 I think that they do reveal too much, or more so all the good stuff in order to attract our attention. And many times the actual film never lives up to the hype made by the trailer. Perfect example is The Black Dahlia.. perfect trailer, crummy film.

adobe4578 To be honest even as a small kid I have never enjoyed disney, I really dont know quite why. But the only exception comes with their recent Pixar films, Those have delivered every time. Toy Story is probably my favorite of all of disneys efforts.

adobe4578 I would make sure to stay an individual, and to not sell out to the factors of money. As far as personalities go I think that many of the most successful artists are tose who are constantly trying to reimage themselves and evolve.
