FFVII Advent Children Dated
Square Enix's CG movie based on Final Fantasy VII, Advent Children, has a U.S. release date. This comes after a long delay and the promise that the title would be out 'sometime in 2006. From the 1up.com article: "1UP is glad to inform you that the DVD and UMD will ship in the U.S. on April 25, 2006. So in case you haven't already downloaded the movie from the Internet (bad, pirates, bad!) and are looking forward to seeing this hour-and-a-half slice of CG Final Fantasy fan-service for yourself, you've roughly two months to go."
I always have troubles with "Dated". Did it get a date with some girl or boy program? Is it archaic, sort of in the way Mary Poppins is "dated"? I realize it means that the thing has had a date set, but I always get the "has time period specific references" dated before I get "has had a date set" dated.
Does anybody else get this confusion?

So in case you haven't already downloaded the movie from the Internet (bad, pirates, bad!)
Yeah, but had I not downloaded the movie I probably wouldn't have even cared to own it on DVD. A decent amount of the hype surrounding the American release is from all those who've already seen this incredible movie and are clueing their friends in on it.
If big boobed women work at Hooters do one legged women work at IHOP?
Advent Children is so last year.
"So in case you haven't already downloaded the movie from the Internet (bad, pirates, bad!).."
Oh please. I downloaded it, and watched it the day it was available online. Guess what? I'll be first in line to buy a copy when it comes out. Really, what do you think the % of people who will buy this haven't seen it already? I'd think it would at least be in the high 90s.
Anyhow this attitude pisses me off. Yes I download music, games, movies, and TV shows. Know what else? I also buy a crap load of music, games, movies, and TV seasons. Some of my downloading is to try before I buy, other times it's because I don't feel like ripping 10 gigs worth of CDs, and crap if you watch '24' or 'Lost' missing an episode is like having one of your fingers cut off.
I'm a FF fan. Thus I care.
Can all fish swim?
As someone who contributes to the weekly subtitling of bleach, I care. Advent Children is high quality and a very good movie. Bleach is a good series, but this isn't about bleach. Just becuase YOU don't like FFVII dosen't mean it dosen't have value. As well, bleach is expected to soon suffer from a minor case of the 'Naruto Effect', that of which being a long period of filler away from the main plot, althogh in bleaches case creating a new subplot, but becuase everyone wants to know what happens with the Aizen saga, and the leader of the Gotei 13 simply saying 'We don't have to worry about it for a year' Is the same thing thats going on with naruto, and has cuased its ratings to drop so much and it's following to dry up.
Note to submitter: In English, saying something is "dated" usually means that it is out of date, i.e. obsolete.
