Conceivably, I suppose, but I really don't see any evidence in the movie to support that idea.

I like The Incredibles and I don't care what relation it may or may not have to Rand; the only misstep in that movie—but a serious misstep!—was the end where they decide, oh, the kid IS allowed to participate in athletic competitions now, and apparently he's able to feel PRIDE in winning races that require absolutely…

"The best video game by miles?" I'll admit I haven't played it, but that seems like a pretty hyperbolic statement, especially given that Mother 3 is clearly the best videogame by miles.

I feel like I have some idea because people were making jokes about "Ayn"="an."

Who's this game developer we're talking about here?

Damn that Carl Marks!

Why do people always think the name is pronounced "Ann?" Seriously, I want to know, 'cause I thought that too for a long time. But it actually does indeed rhyme with "mine." Check the internet.

>>If you refer to soldiers as "fine, upstanding pieces of cannon fodder", you probably aren't the target audience for this.

The "plot" of Frogger is "a character wants to get to a place;" if that's the standard, then all games, sports included, have plots.

On the one hand, sure this sucks; on the other…geez, I was SO utterly burned out on Ace Attorney games after Apollo Justice that it's hard to even imagine picking up another.

>>They've always had a few duds in their catalog (LiveALive, Treasure Hunter G, etc.)

Yeah, I had a few of these—Megaman 2, Thunderblade…also a few similar things from other companies. Basically, they were what I settled for before I could afford a Gameboy, but I still look back on them with a certain nostalgic fondness.

2012?
Goshdarnit!

Man…
…I hoped this would be about a guy with a bomb planted in his body who has to keep hopping or it explodes. I'd see that movie.

@Roger's Aching Ticker
The fact that you didn't realize that he was referring to Harry not Lane is a sign that…something.

I've never heard of Life on Mars! And yet, for some reason, I felt compelled to comment anyway. Ah, The Internet.

Why do I get the impression that none of you have read him to any meaningful extent?

Just dropping by to note that, given your tragically-misguided opinion of Rankin, your Holt-related opinions are rendered kind of useless. Alas!

I used to read a lot of Holt novels.
They're very funny in parts, but I wouldn't call any of them "good books" in toto (this was a while ago, so maybe he's gotten better). My experience was that the man is subject to a number of verbal tics that start to grate after a while, and when the plot (usually pretty…

It's like Finnegans Wake.
