I’ve got a lot going on right now. It’s no wonder my dreams have gotten surreal. Although, not this surreal.

I was having a discussion with a friend about the (debatable) merits of the movie Avatar. Our conversation segued into video games and the upcoming release of Final Fantasy XIII (stoked!). And because my mind is hypertextual, I remembered the following comment from an epic thread on FriendFeed.

[Avatar] seemed like more of a video game story line (Final Fantasy) than a movie. In a video game, the story is secondary to the game play, I think thats what we see here, a blurred line between movie & video game. Its like a 3 hour cut scene from Final Fantasy. It would have been cool if every1 got a 2 button controller and at key points of the movie, every1 made a choice (choose your own adventure style) and the movie progressed according to the choices the audience made in real time. Maybe the next step in interactive media.
