Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Impressions

Tim Butler writes "1UP.com has posted impressions of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children from the premiere screening at the Venice Film Festival. The article also reveals that the film won't be ready until next spring -- but may clock in at more than an hour and a half in running time (is a big screen release a possibility now?)."

Re:Good thing they changed the plot

Good lord, I can't tell if you're serious or not, but on the assumption that you aren't:

Someone can become president just because their father is. If someone becomes ruler because of their father, that makes them a king, not a president.

Bush.

That a government could be nothing more than a front for corrupt energy company executives, and for a clique of people whose fanatical devotion to a "promised land" blinds them to all reason.

Bush/Cheney, Haliburton, Iraq War, the opening of protected wilderness to oil drilling, and so on.

That a country with a large space program would suddenly abandon it, simply to produce more and more deadly weapons.

Like America?

That a nation's economy could be totally wiped out, leaving industrial areas blighted, while close by, people spent all their money playing in high tech floating gambling palaces.

Well, Russia. But America probably isn't far behind.

That energy executives, when their productive capacity is destroyed, would merrily celebrate having to raise rates.

If you haven't figured it out yet.....

(This is somewhat tongue in cheek. Somewhat.)
