		<description><![CDATA[1) The plot is threadbare.
By no means does a movie need a complex plot to succeed. Just last week I saw and enjoyed immensely the Japanese film Still Walking, the plot of which involved a family hanging out on the anniversary of a loved one’s death. 9’s plot is at once completely arbitrary and urgent, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s New York Times, there&#8217;s an interesting article on e-reading consumers resistance to books priced above the $9.99 standard price point that Amazon has established. What surpised me is that in the case of new releases otherwise only in hardcover, Amazon is paying the same $13 price to publishers and is selling at a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the great new manga news/reviews blog, the Manga Critic, Kate Dacey brings up the old &#8220;OEL&#8221; (Original English Language) manga authenticity debate. Oftentimes this discussion turns into one of irritation, if not condemnation, towards anyone who applys the word &#8220;manga&#8221; towards a non-Japanese comic (not this article &#8212; Kate&#8217;s a classy lady). I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From about the fourth grade when I graduated from mostly kids books to mostly mass-market paperbacks through high school, the Fantasy/Sci-Fi aisle was my bookstore haunt. I&#8217;ve always found it a little bit odd, if admittedly efficient, the way that Balrogs, Skrulls, Gethenians and D20 dice are all lumped together in a nerd ghetto. Would [...]]]></description>

Flora&#8217;s Dare, the second volume of Ysabeau Wilce&#8217;s Flora Segunda books, picks up right where the last volume left off, quickly recapping things with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, whenever I visit the bookstore (got to do it while this endangered species still exists!), I&#8217;m struck by how completely fantasy has taken over the Young Adult section.  For years I dismissed the YA fantasy boom as at best, a fad, at worst, a shameless attempt to cash in while the holly and [...]]]></description>

This year I did not lead Niko Bellic through Liberty City, create a Death Knight or chop up dudes with a Lancer. I don’t think I shot a single zombie. Despite playing only a tiny fraction of the games that came out this year, I did manage to log in few hundred hours gaming. So [...]]]></description>

A few posts back I wrote about my frustration with the games industry for encouraging a monoculture where niche titles have a hard time finding an audience. I mentioned how music and movies have done a much better job with bringing niche content to the right audience, but even in those categories, things aren’t perfect.

It doesn&#8217;t surprise me that the film is getting a much deserved rerelease (and Blue Ray Edition!), but that &#8220;20th Anniversary&#8221; bit [...]]]></description>
