Helmety Cinematic Culture

The Red vs. Blue crew from Blood Gulch have always been pretty savvy with applying cross-cultural cinematic styles in their story telling. From community theater to nihilistic absurdism, even to the Scooby Doo reveal, they've been very good with capturing the pacing and elements of those styles. But now, they're taking on Europe, that vague general area somewhere over there, so it's the right time to present French boredom, German techno-pop, and good ol' American car chases with explosions! Also, somehow, a Japanese Power Ranger commercial got in there...



"I sure do love - HAVING WHEAT - and - NIKOLAI PETROVSKY."

Some good news for Red vs. Blue fans: There will be more episodes coming! They're going to do a "serious" miniseries, their last on the Halo 2 platform, to transition the story to Halo 3. So my worst fears did not come true. Whew!
