on thursday morning, right after i wrote my last post, i chilled for awhile, and i immersed myself in bucolic bliss, reading some Robert Frost… ahhhh, that felt good. it was a return to rustic, simpler times, a lovely departure. after that, i felt like watching Clockwork Orange or something, but I ended up just watching TV for a bit. around 4am, however, i was imbued with a strange new idea: watch the copy of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children that I grabbed off of BitTorrent earlier. oh yes. now I assure you, as soon as this movie drops on DVD in November, I’m buying the fucker. now if you saw FF: The Spirits Within (remember that awesome machine the main character had and used to record the video images of her dreams? fuck yeah!) and were impressed by its CG, Advent Children will blow you out of the motherfucking water. some of the most beautiful graphics I’ve ever seen, some of the most realistic-looking characters, and also an absolutely compelling (albeit strange and tortuous at times) story deeply rooted in the events of FFVII. if you’re a FFVII fan, then you’ll most likely love this movie… and well, if not, I wouldn’t really bother, unless you’re not averse to picking up a copy of FFVII, playing through it, and then watching the movie after all that.
