If time travel was a practical reality but you could only affect your personal history, what event or events would you change?

Me, I'd go back and tell past me to choose Stephanie over Mildred, no matter how awesomely good-looking Mildred and past me looked together. Not to imply Stephanie was ugly or anything; she had this red-head sexy bespectacled librarian look going for her. Stephanie and I had so much more in common and could talk for hours, whereas with Mildred, it was all hormones and sex. If ever there was a 'Sliding Doors' moment in my life, it would have to be the night I ditched Stephanie to be with Mildred.

Oh, and I'd cuff past me behind the ear for not kissing Stephanie the whole time past me dated her.

Say, I don't suppose you have a time machine handy?

Seriously, drop it! You are not doing yourself or anyone else any favours by spending so much time thinking what might have been.

I thought he was close, and they used a similar storyline (although made it a lie) for "how he got his scars."

While he isn't sympathetic, I do believe the audience is moved to find some rational thought in his irrational desires for anarchy. And, his manipulation of Harvey Dent is clearly using the same, "one bad day" them that Moore uses in KJ.

It's no where near exact, but I think that this incarnation of Joker is much closer to KJ than Nicholson's joker...which (although dark) has more in common with the 1970's Joker of the comic books (homicidal, but still retaining the 60's campiness that the Comics Code Authority forced upon the series).

You shouldn't be so sure that I haven't considered how my life might be different: I have done that a lot, but I realised how detrimental it was to my happiness and mental healthiness and I dropped it.

I don't think they go into it thinking that stupid games are the answer to the casual gaming market...I think they try to fit the "square peg" of pop culture into the "round hole" (to use a horrible metaphor) of gaming.

The Sims was a great answer to casual gaming...and I think something like a Clueless branded sim involving changing outfits would have appealed to the causal gamer when the movie was first released.

However, the market for it now is, well, non-existant. People who are still fond of the movie and would enjoy a game based off of it...but probably not the game that is going to be made. A sim that involves dating and changing outfits doesn't seem to mesh with the age bracket they should be targeting with this game.

It'll be fun though...like when you know some kid on a skateboard is gonna eat it hard and you can't look away.

Well, apparently, according to Paramount they don't have plans for any portable games yet, but depending on the performance of the Mean Girls, Pretty in Pink, and Clueless console games...they might make portable versions.
