I watched Night Watch, too (it was actually in cinemas here in Germany, dubbed to German). I second, it's a movie worth watching! Somehow different - but with IMHO great cinematography and (especially) great music. Furthermore, NW is only the first part of a trilogy (parts 2 and 3 are in parallel production AFAIK) that will further explore the dealings of Night Watch and Day Watch and the conflict between good and evil. There also exists (at least) a NW novel that AFAIK has been a best-seller in Russia (either it's a novelization of the movie script or the movie was based on the novel, I'm not sure). It supposedly gives a lot more insight and background about the happenings and characters. |

mfb - I can only go off the reviewers. I don't watch movies in the theaters. We'll see if it's any good in a few months, I guess : )
So is NW coming out in the US? Subbed or dubbed, I don't care. Or do I need to do something special to gte my hands on it? |

Though there were TV trailers for Night Watch in the UK around November last year, the film never really seemed to materialise- at least not in the armpit-of-the-world in which I'm stuck.
However, thanks to the wonders of the interweb, I had a subbed DVD-quality copy finish downloading this morning. Now just to wait for my housemates to wake up so we can watch it... On the up-side, it's apparently due for UK DVD release in April. If it's as good at the first ten minutes looked then I'll be pre-ordering it this afternoon... -JH. |

'Dubbed' is not a dirty word. Without it "Maison Otaku" wouldn't exist. Grant fan parody if you can find it.
Persona;;y I've only decided subtitles were worthwhile after I had a son. Trying to keep the volume low enough to not wake him or turn it up loud enough so that he doesn't babble over the movie is a pain. Subtitles solve all that. Of course for all you with out little kids or younger siblings this doesn't matter at all. |

I agree with the joys of dubbed, to an extend. if it's done well, it works. but if it's on something like live action, its less effective, like on a hockey game, which was when i first discovered to the joys of it in HS when everyone else was in bed.

People who don't like subtitles can't read them quickly enough. That's my motto. Either that, or they want to watch the carefully constructed movie.

Dune has "the spice" and Star Wars has glitterstem and other drugs which are also referred to as "the spice." But, yeah, not a whole lot in common, lol. |

"Then I will be the one in control of the worm and the spice!!!"
Hehe. That quote is so funny out of context. |

Somehow, I don't think the words, "worthy of extermination" will be used in the next Shadowrun novel. edit: And if they are, I will make it my sole purpose to burn every copy I find.

I guess no one sees AR as a useless pain in the ass like I would. Poo. |

Hey, it's like William Gibson himself said, "The NET is a waste of time, and that's exactly what's right about it."

Well, it's more the "pain in the ass" part that I have a problem with.
Of course, I also don't cream my pants everytime new features are added to cellphones. Unless it can lick my ... well, it'll be a cold day in hell before I care to use my phone for, you know, non-talking activities. |

This has probably been mentioned before - so I will be brief...
Ultraviolet has the same director of Equilbrium, K.Wimmer (sp.), who also tried to introduce the concept of Gun Kata. Albeit any othe rcomments I personally think that there are quite nice hints in both movies relating to Shadowrun. At the very list the whole Gun Kata thing just screams Gunslinger Adept or Wired Reflexes... |

Quick I have an idea everyone write a letter to george lucas telling him he has not nearly enough money so he should make an SR movie. Then right your local congress person telling them you want to see more SR related comercials for their campaign adds ... MUST GET SR FIX.... Then we can have SR tv SR movies and maybe even do I dare say it? an SR breakfast cereal?

The LAST thing we need is for Lucas to make an SR movie.
Well, allow me to rephrase. The last thing we who like gritty post-cyberpunk need is for Lucas to make an SR movie that would likely fit in well with the cartoonish mid-early third edition or the hollywood-anime of fourth edition thus far. |

Why doesn't he like Shadowrun? I mean, besides the elves and the trolls and the magic. Plus, the game metaplot sort of hands out blame to a lot of the "counterculture" forces for the balkanization and global turmoil, like the NAN and stuff. This is counter to what it's like in the Sprawl trilogy, in which deckers are invented for a poorly planned strike against the Soviets. Also, Gibson's said that the original Neuromancer book was an immature one, so Shadowrun might highlight that immaturity.

It had to do with the magic and licensing, shame though.

Yeah, Shadowrun rips off, like, 80% of the culture wholesale. Nuyen? Coffin Motels? Fixers, razorgirls, puppet parlors, deckers... The list goes on.
