It wasn''t great, by a far stretch, but it had moments that were pretty good. \r\n\r\nI think that it had a lot more potential, but that some really poor production choices let it down. \r\n\r\nI think that the initial sequences involving her arrival in Silent Hill are well done. You definitely get a feel for what the city was like in the games. I liked that she was spooked, but that there wasn''t anything <i>particularly</i> dangerous going on. She''s in a weird town that is really foggy, and she''s not sure what''s going on. She goes down the alley, and she can''t see. The siren was a nice touch, and I liked the way that the change from limbo to nightmare was done. The ash babies were kind of neat, although a little too obviously "CG" for my taste. \r\n\r\nAt any rate, the begining of the movie did a good job of capturing what I felt the feel of Silent Hill should be. \r\n\r\nProblems: \r\nThe dialogue is *terrible*. \r\nThe "static" effect is only used once. It''s a *huge* part of the Silent Hill games, and it only comes up once? Meh.\r\nThe monsters show up for their token appearences and are never seen again. Pyramid Head shows up twice, and we never see him again?\r\nThe rather misplaced exposition sequence fairly late in the movie *really* breaks the stride of the movie. You can''t build and build and build and suddenly have a character literally say "Oh, by the way, since you''ve made it this far, here''s what really happened." That really broke the mood of the movie.\r\n\r\nI''d have rather the movie stayed more ambiguous. I don''t really want the characters to figure out what was happening, and the plot with the crazy witch-hunting cult was a little... well... stupid. \r\n\r\nStill, it''s not a bad movie, despite these problems. If you can see it at a second run theater or maybe with a bunch of friends at a cheap matinee showing, it''s probably worth it. You''ll get some laughs out of some of the terrible dialogue, and there are enough cool scenes to make it a cheap thrill. \r\n\r\nNot as scary or as confusing as it should have been, but a far cry better than most video game movies.', 'Html', '0', NULL, 0, '147.240.236.9');

I''m actually interested in a Marvel Event for a change. \r\n\r\nFrom what I can tell, the premise is this:\r\n\r\nA young team of super powered heroes are taking part in a reality show. They raid the hideout of a bunch of supervillains, thinking to bring them in. The problem is that this hide-out is a normal house in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. During the fight that follows all but one of the heroes dies, and a bus explodes, killing quite a few innocent bystanders- including children. \r\nAs a result of this, the public decides that they''ve had enough- they want someone to be held accountable. The government passes a hero registration act, and basically says "Look, if you''ve got super powers, and you''re acting in a hero capacity, you need to come forward and register your name, etc. \r\nThe various heroes in the Marvel Universe have differing opinions on this. Iron Man supports the move- which isn''t a surprise since he reveiled his identity before. Captain America opposes it. Spider-Man is supposedly caught in the middle, torn about which side he falls on. \r\nFans have been encouraged to take sides in the debate (which is, rather obviously, a take on the "How much would you sacrifice for a sense of safety?") in a variety of ways. The adverts for the series have taken the form of bold <a href="http://www.alphaflight.net/news_archives/whose_side.jpg">ads</a> asking "Whose side are you on?" Forum goers and BBSers have been encouraged to display their choice with banners like this:\r\n<img src="http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/news/images/0605/cwim.jpg">\r\n\r\nIn honor of the event, I took a few minutes (literally, just a few) to make a couple of banners myself.

In it, she claims to be 18, includes "sexy" pictures of herself in reveiling clothing, has the playboy logo displayed prominantly, etc. She meets a 25-year-old Indiana guy on there, and they hit it off. He comes up here, picks her up. Eventually, the police track him down, return the girl to her mother, and arrest him. The two didn''t have sex, so he was eventually let go, but it''s raised a lot of questions.\r\n\r\nHere''s the legal pickle:\r\n\r\n<blockquote>"Under the statutory rape laws, if an adult has sex with someone under the age of 16 in Michigan, they''re legally responsible," said Jeffery Cojocar, a Shelby Township attorney who deals with men''s rights issues.\r\n\r\n"I don''t care if the minor showed a birth certificate that said they were older. It doesn''t matter. Statutory rape is what is called a strict liability law, which means it doesn''t matter whether the accused knew a crime was being committed or not."</blockquote>\r\n\r\nIn particular, the line about showing a birth certificate. \r\n\r\nA lot of people- myself included- think that''s a load of shit. I''m all for punishing pervs who are out to nail a minor. That doesn''t seem to have been the case here, and it''s easy to think of instances where it definitely wouldn''t be the case. Why should a guy or girl be punished if there were legitimate reasons to believe that the partner was legal? If the kid has "legal" identification showing that s/he is an adult, how is it fair to punish the adult? \r\nThat just doesn''t seem fair, at all. I''ve seen 13-15 year olds  (age of consent in MI is 16, btw) who could <i>easily</i> pass for 18 or older. I know a 25-year-old that I''d swear was 15, too. Age can be tough to determine. \r\nIf I go out to a bar, and I meet a hottie, and she''s drinking, and we go and have sex, and it turns out she''s 15, I don''t see how it''s right to punish me. \r\n\r\nIt''ll be interesting to see how this case develops, and any changes that come from it.', 'Html', '0', NULL, 0, '147.240.236.9');
