Sissy: Sit back, relax and pop some corn, this week we've got something a little different for all you movie buffs out there!
Eggbert: Different isn't always good.
Sissy: This time I'd say it is. Up first we've got Lost, an Enemy Territory movie that sucked me in from the start with its musical score from the legendary Willie Nelson. Not your typical gaming video tune to be sure, but it worked out well for Lost.
Eggbert: I suppose I have to agree with you on that one. I wasn't expecting Willie, I'm not a huge fan of the Willie, but I'll be damned, I found myself loving the Willie!
Sissy: On top of the original music, the movie was done using an old film reel black and white effect, I thought it was very well suited to the video's theme overall.
Eggbert: Yes, the effect was nice, but I'd rather talk about Willie!
Sissy: You've had enough Willie for one week, no more Willie for you! In addition to the aged film effect, the whole movie was done in slow motion. Normally I'd say that would be a weakness, but it just worked for Lost. The whole package worked, and to add to the glory, it's a bandwidth lightweight!
Eggbert: You are far too excited about this film.
Sissy: You are far too excited about Willie.
Eggbert: Okay, you got me there. I suppose I do like a little Willie.
Sissy: Graphics, music, originality, all ace in my book, and if you're wondering about the movie's title itself then I'd have to guess it's a tribute to the new television show of the same name. A great show, a great movie...
Sissy: It's been a while since we've featured an Enemy Territory trick jumping movie, and we think this one's worthy of the spotlight today!
Eggbert: You think it's worthy. Did you even bother to ask me? NO. I think it sucked.
Sissy: Liar, I saw you tapping your feet and grooving in your seat.
Eggbert: I had an itch.
Sissy: Whatever. If you're down with the smooth moves of ET then you'll probably want to be giving this film a download. Some nice trick jumps, plus it's nice to take a break from all the mindless killing once in a while.
Eggbert: We can never have too much killing. But hey, check out that 2LAGGY dude, he did kind of have ants in his pants. Or one of those cool Mexican Jumping Bean things.
Sissy: He definitely did know how to shake his swing thing, did you catch some of those long distance jumps? I think we've got a real ET Olympiad on our hands here.
Eggbert: Yeah, yeah, it's all good, but there was no Willie!
Sissy: Enough of the Willie already. Regarding the actual film quality itself... medium, certainly nothing spectacular. 2LAGGY is definitely more of an actor than a director. I also didn't like the music. Not a big fan of the metal as I've said many times.
Eggbert: Not a fan of metal either, more Willie I say!
Sissy: No Willie. All in all I'd say 2laggy is a worthy download, but don't expect much in the quality and music departments. This one is more about the content than the fancy effects. Points off for lack of flair.
Eggbert: Points off for lack of Willie.
