CatBrat,

I love Lupin III, and Miyazaki's Castle of Cagliostro is still my favorite Lupin movie. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was my first exposure to Miyazaki, though, and I still have a soft spot for that one. There are still several on the list that I haven't gotten around to watching.

Caught up with the first episode of the new season of Breaking Bad tonight. I'm very excited to see how this whole season plays out. Strong start. And Mark, it still makes me smile every time I see your name in the credits.

I watched My Neighbor Totoro last night for the first time and it didn't disappoint. Typical Miyazaki stuff. It's a little juvenile perhaps, but it makes for reliving childhood experiences palatable.

The Dark Knight Rises

Worth seeing.

I hope you were not in Aurora. What terrible news!

I saw that that whenI woke up today. Crazy. I wonder what the guy's motivation was. Not that anything could justify his actions.

It's one reason I'm against 1st person shooter games. Not that THAT was his reason (programmed response, etc), but it just seems like they could/would/etc contribute to this kind of sick-o activity.

Me, I'm against platformers. Do you know how many people get hurt every year trying to jump on trees like they're solid? Not to mention sidewalk related injuries. Appalling.

How about something more light hearted?

I hope you're joking?

I think a frustrating puzzle game would contribute more than a super-easy first-person shooter. Murder is still a stretch, but I'm definitely more physically aggressive (urge to throw controller, even if I never do--hey, that could be even more dangerous if you're playing a Kinect game, since you're the controller) when the game is difficult, regardless of the content of the game. Who knows what kind of genocide could have taken place if I'd continued playing Geometry Wars.

LOL. Good one. Hadn't thought of it that way. Perhaps I should quit my job. Society might be safer.
