Well that's a mystery solved. There are road sections here that get foggier than the rest of the area. I've wondered about that for years and never would've guessed it's the corn.

Yes, they work in the line "they're not gonna sink this battleship!". When you're committed to this absurd premise, you pretty much have to say it.

Battleship. It's just such a bizarre license for a movie, and certainly one nobody ever asked for. (Well, outside Hasbro execs clearly desperate for another Transformers-level hit.)

Oddly watchable in a big dumb fun kind of way, at least. And hey, it has Jesse Plemons not playing a total sociopath, so that's neat.

Harmony of Dissonance on the GBA was a pretty good entry too, though with a couple minor issues. Circle of the Moon inadvertently highlighted how hard it was to see the original GBA screen (too dark, and it caught reflections like crazy), so Konami overcorrected with Harmony and focused too much on the graphics. Unfortunately they put so much processing into the visuals that there wasn't much room left for music samples so it's all chiptunes. That's not necessarily bad but it did feel like a step backwards.

The gameplay was fun, at least. It's been a while but I recall a neat system combining the various classic sub weapons with different magic elements.

It's worth playing the whole GBA trilogy, but do it in order. After Aria you likely won't want to go back to the others.

That was a rumor, and has never been verified despite decades of discussion and many attempts to prove or disprove it. Also, it was filmed in Japan, not China.

Either they have seen it but were so traumatized they can never speak of it, or they assumed it was a fever dream ("duck boobs? Nah, I must've dreamt that...").

But yes, I saw it several times as a kid yet couldn't stand 5 minutes of it as an adult. Such a profoundly awful movie with bizarrely good special effects.

On VHS: Moonraker. A truly terrible Bond film, but I was too young to understand that.

And then finding out years later that lamp pic really was what you thought:

E.T.

Yes really. I played it all the time as a kid and didn't think it was any more difficult or abstract than the rest of the 2600's catalogue. Granted, we kept the manual, which made a huge difference in understanding and enjoying its bizarre logic, but still. I had no idea it was so hated until at least a decade later.
