If a movie makes you question your faith, then I question your faith to begin with
I ask myself the same question a fated soul dared to ask on 4Chan. Just what is the appeal of characters like Bridget who look so much like girls. I love me some girly guys but not to the point where I can't tell the bloody difference (we'll make exceptions for Haku/Kazuki/Arachane and the like because I like them a lot more for their personality and less for the pretty). Not only that they are so moe, it destroys all attraction whatsoever. And the whole guy attraction to them weirds me out on much greater levels.
Bro meessed up my Naruto recording, but Tom was kind enough to send me the dubbed episodes I missed because I want to see dubbed!Gaara let it rain blood. Dubs do not suck btw.
Saw DaVinci Code. I loved it because of all the intense puzzle-solving, the heaps of cultural lore (I want to find a book similar to the one Hanks wrote in that movie), the amusingly evil antics of Silas and the awesomeness that was Ian McKellen. I don't think I've ever seen him be more adorable and badass in a single movie. Forget the religious aspects, that movie is just a fun, immersing ride of different schools of thought.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children | |
| Le Basics | | |
Have you actually played the game?: | Once all the way. A couple times after to laugh at Cloud. |
Did you watch the movie in Japanese with fansubs?: | Yeah yeah. |
Did you buy the movie as soon as it came out in America?: | At Acen, baby! |
Have you watched the English version of the movie?: | Love it. Signed by Quentin himself. |
Did you finish the movie and sit there going, "What the heck?": | Probably after I finished going THAT WAS AWESOME! |
Did you wonder what happened to the plot in the movie?: | Look, FF7 was never all that high on my "good plot" list. |
Ever want to smack the 'camera angles' in the fight scenes?: | What are you talking about? They rocked. |
Did the fight scenes make you drool?: | The one with Tifa, the one with Kadaj vs. Cloud and the joint fight against Behemouth. |
Did you/would you have paid money to see it?: | Sure. |
What was your biggest pet peeve about the movie?: | That Cloud fuckin' stole Squall's emo. And Red XIII got no lines at all. |
| Characters | | |
Did you absolutely hate anyone's char design? If so, who's?: | Nah. They all looked fine. Cloud did kinda steal Squall's formal SEED outfit. Just saying. |
Did you absolutely ADORE anyone's char design? If so, who's?: | Probably Cloud's. It was pretty and not so bulky-looking. |
Who's your favorite character?: | In order: Kadaj, Rufus, Cloud, Reno. |
Was your favorite character from the game your fave char in the movie?: | No since I really liked Red XIII. Tifa too. |
Did you adore the silver haired men?: | I felt bad for them because they never had a chance. They were a group of incomplete people who wished to be whole. ^_~ |
Did you think Reno and Rude's characters were butchered?: | Again, I don't care enough about this as long as they amused me. Y'all need to get over it. It's a movie! |
Were you very confused on how Tseng and Rufus were alive?: | I completely forgot about Tseng. But Rufus? Yeah that was a bit far-fetched. But I loved him so I don't care. |
Did Marlene creep you out at any point?: | Nah, which surprises me. |
Who was your favorite silver haired man?: | Kadaj. The man who would be Sephiroth. Note, I was not a big fan of Sephiroth in the game. Snore. |
Did Marlene remind you of a mini-Aerith/Aeris?: | Yes! Mostly because of the hair. |
How do you personally spell Aerith/Aeris's name, incidentally?: | Aeris. |
Which character did you like the least?: | I was expecting it to be Aeris since I really dislike her in the game, but she was sweet in the movie. So I guess...Yuffie. I've never really liked her. SHE STOLE MY MATERIA! |
| Fandom | | |
Are you involved in the FFAC fandom? If so, how?: | Uh...Sometimes I read KH2 fics with AC characters. |
Do you fanship? If so, who do you ship?: | I don't care enough about the couples to care. |
Do you write or read any FFAC fanfiction?: | No. |
Do you draw or look at any FFAC fanart?: | I look. Sure. |
Did FFAC leave you looking at the fandom to find the answers to questions?: | I like my own personal interpretations thank you. |
| Ships | | |
What's your favorite ship (couple)?: | Again, I'm not couple-crazy about this game. I like Reno/Rufus art. I like Cloud/Sephiroth art. Tifa/Cloud are pretty cute, and Zell is their son. The end. |
Cloti (CloudxTifa), Cleris (CloudxAeris), or CloudxSephiroth?: | Cloti and Cleris are some of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Uh, CloudxSephiroth has more canon but again could care less. |
What ship would you never, ever read?: | Part of me wants to say Cloud/Aeris but I've forgiven her at least in the movie so...Red XIII x Anyone? |
What pairing do you like, but shouldn't?: | CloudxSephiroth. |
What pairing should there totally be more fanfics and fanart of?: | I don't know. |
What ship would never happen in canon, but you desperately wish it could?: | I don't care. |
What pairing totally squicks you?: | Already mentioned the Red XIII thing. |
| This or That | | |
Aeris or Tifa?: | Tifa |
Cloud or Sephiroth?: | Cliff. |
Sephiroth or Kadaj?: | Kadaj. I cared infinitely more about him, although Sephiroth was pretty amusing. |
Loz or Yazoo?: | Loz. He needed a Mommy. |
Marlene or Denzel?: | Denzel. He had a naughty mouth. |
Reno or Rude?: | Reno |
Elena or Tseng?: | Elena. She's badass. |
Rufus or Rufus's sheet?: | WTF? Rufus. |
Movie or game?: | Game. Only because more people had lines. |
Tifa's fight scene or Sephiroth's fight scene?: | Tough choice because both are eye candy. Sephiroth if only for the music and the complete allusion to KH2. |
English version or Japanese version?: | I don't care, people. |
| Randomness | | |
Did you wonder what the heck was with that sheet of Rufus's?: | He was fakin' it! |
What question did the movie leave you wondering about?: | How did Cloud survive being shot? What was up with that wolf? Was it Zack? |
Did you cry at any point during the movie?: | Almost when Cloud got shot. I don't know why. I guess I cared. |
Did you yell at the screen at any point?: | Lots of times. When Rufus was revealed. When Sephiroth showed up. During the huge cameo scene. |
Did you simply adore the new music? (Well, not really NEW.): | I loved the music. |
Final statements on the movie?: | Cloud is not Squall kthnksbye. |
Aaaand that's a wrap. Thanks for taking! | |
