Apokélypse Now

This is a fan film, but is very well made indeed.




The only criticism I have at all is when Team Rocket say "Prepare for trouble ... Make it double", one of them should rack the slide of a shotgun.

Via #1 Son, who's all growed up now.  Our first game console was a Nintendo 64, with Star Wars: Pod Racer and the most amazing game ever made for families with small children, Pokemon Snap.



It sounds stupid - take photographs of a bunch of Pokemon,  But we played this for hours as a family.  #1 Son was 7 and #2 Son was 3, and we kept finding ourselves, evening after evening, handing the controller from person to person.

Those of you with small children and a Wii can play it in emulation.  We tried it a few times on the Wii, but alas, #1 Son is no longer 7 and #2 Son is more interested in Rugers than in Pokemon.

Sigh.  But it was a magical part of our family life, for a while.

  1. That was a pretty awesome game, for some reason. Kind of amazing what kind of fun you could get with a camera rail shooter game with little cartoon creatures.

    Pokemon was a big part of life in middle school. All I can say about it now is "it's not smart, or correct, but it's one of the things that makes me who I am."
