With less than a week to go until Father’s Day, the ridiculous parade of allegedly dad-focused marketing is already well upon us. On the way to work this morning, I heard a countless number of commercials trying to convince me to buy my dad a new cell phone. On TV, I’ve survived a constant barrage of pleas to pick up new flat-screen sets, stereo equipment, and various implementations of carpentry hardware. Online, it’s been cameras, camcorders, USB memory sticks, hard drives, and all sorts of other computer gadgetry.
Each holiday it gets worse.

I found myself in the local Target today, perusing the games section of the electronics department. Game releases have all but dried up over the last few months, but I always like to check in now and then, just to see if anything new came out that slipped under my radar, or to see if anything I’d been marginally interested in had been marked down.
Surprisingly enough, I found a single copy of Dead Space, which I’d wanted to try, marked down to $30 for clearance, so I decided to give it a go.
From the opening montage of a trashed earth to the film’s glorious finale, I was both moved and impressed by Pixar’s latest film. I won’t discuss the plot in detail, since I don’t want to spoil the movie for anyone. If you haven’t seen Wall-E yet though, go out and rent it – it’s worth the monetary, physical, and emotional cost of visiting Blockbuster (or whoever you rent movies from).
