He's not only a supermarket guy! He's... THE ONE!!

I think that supernatural horror movies, with ghosts etc, are way scarier than "I'm ugly and i have a chainsaw" movies. Jason = Shit. I've watched some of his movies and they are all fucking stupid. Jason X made me laugh instead of feel scared. And those movies with zombies are equally bad, they are more action movies than horror.

But you see here, that's why I think that Leatherface is awesome. He's not a ghost, he's a human being. And what does that show us? That evil, true evil, lives not only on ghosts and supernatural ding-dong, it can also live inside a "normal" human, one who could be sitting... right... next... to ya.
It's kinda like "The Shining": Here we have a guy with an axe running around a hotel and smashing doors. He doesn't have ten eyes, he doesn't have four arms, he isn't slowly decaying. He's just a crazy mutha with an axe. Then why is it that every time I see it it scares the living shit out of me? Because I think "Hey, this guy's human. If he lost it, everyone can lose it!".
And yes, Jason X sucked the big one. Uber-Jason... what the fuck is that supposed to mean? I'd rather go see a movie called "Terminator vs The Evil Hitler Robots" or something like that. At least that wouldn't try to take itself seriously!

ESPECIALLY for games. Got no clue on any other game composer other than Jeremy Soule.

You're forgetting about Michael Giacchino, the sonuvabitch who did the music for Medal of Honor and Call of Duty.

You go make a point, and then bring up Duke Nukem, who, at last check, is now in his tenth year of development on Duke Nukem Fourever.

It doesn't take 10 years for the Japanese to make one damn game.

I was talkin' 'bout Duke Nukem 3D, which is celebrating its 10-and-something birthday, and it still kicks so much ass! No, literally, it KICKS ASS! I mean, how many games do you know that have your FOOT, nay, your MIGHTY FOOT, available as a weapons, let alone a japanese game! And let's not even go to the DEVASTATOR and its awesome (In every sense of the word) power!

I will agree that Jeremy Soule and Marty O'Donnell have some fantasitic soundtracks that they have put out.

As for the article, I agree with ROMate it is the truth.

I agreed with alot of that! but at the same time was scared by it =P I know Fanboyism can blind ya from reality. but he didnt really draw a line. He kinda made me feel any of slightest fandom is bad. I admit I Bought anime stuff Like statues to display on my desktop. But then again I also have statues of the gorillaz (from U.K.) master chief (an american based character) and other non Japanese items. But that article made me feel bad just having the little I do have =/

I guess I would classify myself as one of the "respectable loser" though. Because I have boughten things and can admit what crap they are when I get them. Infact as said earlier theres actualy ALOT more crap than good when it comes to animes, but man some people just cant admit it. and thats why im never to open about the little fanboyism I do have. I dont wanna be classified with those guys because thats the stereotype nowadays.

Which brings the question, is there a line of good and bad Fanboyism. and is fanboyism even a word?

Heh...I generally stay away from anything with lyrics in the first place, since most of it grates my ears (pretty much the only thing that has lyrics that I listen to are arias from operas and stuff like that, mostly to help soothe my mind when I'm under a lot of stress).

In my book, only when you buy more than two or more times the amount in little extras (like figures, posters, etc.) than you spend on the actual anime DVD's and games.

You could say there is a fine line between the two states. A good sign of crossing that line is when you begin to demand entitlement rights and accusing the creators of not knowinf the right way a character should act, and that the relationships are all wrong. Another sign is when you demand VAs both east and west to act out your secret slashfic.

I saw what you did there.
