Will Wright gave a keynote speech at the SXSW conference. i had never heard of it, but if Will was there, it can’t totally suck. 🙂 3pointD has a fantastic transcription.

I’ll keep at least one quote: "Movie: What’s going to happen next? Games: Can I accomplish this?" He also mentions Groundhog Day and Truman Show, both of which are extremely popular among gamers, because they speak about the world in terms that any gamer will recognize.

Speaking of game-like movies, 300 is as brainless yet visually breathtaking as you could ever imagine. Sort of like The Phantom Menace was, minus the disappointment and the childishness.
