Unfortunately, Star Ocean missed out on a Western release. The game pushed the Super Famicom to its limits, using high quality visuals and sound files. The original Star Ocean hit Japan in 1996 during the final days of the Super Famicom era. + Excellent cast with considerable replay value.

Joe instead because they fear 'a departure from groupthink.' This, argues AJ Schnack in an entry that halfway sides with Scott (and takes Wells to task, too), is the 'Faux-Outrage of the Week': 'nstead of blaming Summit for not running trailers in front of Twilight, instead of taking them to task for not marketing directly to teens (and remember this is an R rated war film), instead of questioning why the hell The Hurt Locker was submitted for the Spirit Awards last year (leading to two acting nominations and no nods in the Best Picture or Best Director categories), we've gotta blame the kids.' And let's keep in mind: Even Variety thinks the movie's doing just fine.

For Scott, it's 'the kind of fierce and fiery action movie that might have been a blockbuster once upon a time,' but is instead 'treated like a delicate, exotic flower, released into art houses and sold on its prestige rather than on its visceral power.' Ebert, picking up on a story by John Horn in the Los Angeles Times, suggests that younger audiences will go to see, say, G.I. The Hurt Locker, currently one of the highest-ranked films of the year at Metacritic, figures as part - I emphasize, part - of both Ebert and Scott's arguments.

As Jeffrey Wells notes, 'in the space of the last three days Bill Maher, Roger Ebert and NY Times critic AO Scott have all deplored abundant indications of rank stupidity and infantilism among the general public - Maher addressing diminished or nonexistent political awareness levels and Ebert/Scott pointing to increasing popularity of idiot-level CG paintbox/dada movies and the kneejerk avoidance among the under-25s of films with even a smidgen of adult texture or provocation.' As Dave McNary reports for Variety, 'Paramount is reteaming The Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal on action-adventure Triple Frontier,' which will be 'set in the notorious border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil where the Igazu and Parana rivers converge - making 'la triple frontera' difficult to monitor and a haven for organized crime.' He goes on to note - and this is crucial with regard to a late summer debate slowing simmering out there - ' The Hurt Locker has turned in a solid box office performance since Summit released the Iraq war thriller, grossing $9 million in seven weeks of limited release.'
