Do you like video games? Me? I have no interest at all. When I was a kid, almost all the classmates had Nintendo Entertainment System, but I didn't. No matter how hard I wished for it, my parents didn't give the nod. Alternatively, I sometimes went to my friends' houses to play video games, but it was not so fun because the friends were much better. When I was a college student, Biohazard was released. I bought PlayStation myself to play it. The time came when my dream came true, but probably it was too late. I didn't get into it.

I saw such a scene every day when I lived there, but I realized it was a weird and creepy view where people perfectly make the same posture with no expression on their faces.

Many movie freaks are likely to look down on animated movies. I'm sure of that because I was one of them until I went to a special exhibition in Sapporo. The exhibition is "The Science behind PIXAR" that is about the movie production of PIXAR. You may still believe that it is only dramas played by real actors that can move you, but CG animation is also very dramatic. If you know human struggling behind the scene, you will be moved by animated movies as well.

【Top Gun: Maverick】 Maverick is back! Who can wait for the movie to start? I have yet to watch it, though. "Top Gun" was released in 1986. It was when I was only eight years old, and so, I think I watched it on video after the release ...
