She is a glitch, thats why she glitched the screen. I need to watch this movie yet, but I know that.

Why does Wreck-It Ralph become a supporting character in a movie called Wreck-It Ralph?

Man, they also made a movie called 'Thomas the Tank Engine' where Thomas was barely appearing on it. Coincidence? I don't think so. lol

Waffle, Im almost at the end of this movie and what you said doesnt make sense. Ralph is the main character all the time. If you tried to say it because of the JP version, well, its called Sugar Rush, not Wreck It Ralph. Since I didn't watched the JP version I cant say anything concrete about it.

edit: Yeah... she starts to greatly steal the spotlight in some scenes, but I still dont think that its enough to she be considered the main character. I expected more from this movie, dont take me bad, its a GREAT movie, but I expected more than simple cameos from the other VG chars.

They didn't want the cameos to steal the spotlight. The staff said with the classic characters, they've been done so much over the decades that they all have their own personality already pretty much and that would overshadow the main characters (Ralph, Felix, Vanellope, Turbo, hi-def FPS lady). It's different from Toy Story. Mr. Potato Head never had a personality, so they could make one up for him. Barbie and Ken have always been portrayed as having plasticy personalities by Matel themselves, so it was easy to incorporate them into TS3. Army Men were, well, army men. But with game characters, their personalities are too firmly routed in gamer culture. That's why Bowser and Eggman never talk, Kano's pretty bland, and Clyde -- who never talked outside the cartoon series -- was given the lines.

Anyone else notice at the end of Wreck-It Ralph, Zombie looks like he's jonesing or maybe even just shot heroin before the meeting?

And I kinda like that Mario didn't show up, just had a name drop. "Fashionably late as always." That was such a great, subtle joke. Took me forever to finally get the punchline, but once I got it it made me smile. I can't reveal it, because it'd ruin the joke.

This always makes me smile every time I watch the movie:
Wreck-it Ralph : Adorable winner

japanese don't make the all best things, some countrys make very excelent things but japanese have best marketing and every one think they are best but they are not, every one have to look well they can find the best is not the japanese things.

[Pfil]

I was one that too thought that Ralph would steal the movie and that classic VG characters would be more important. But, still, I liked the movie. The girl was really cute, and the movie had a heart, which is always important in movies.

Adult diapers are now a trend in Japan.
I can see how employers could take advantage of that.

Well the Japanese office mentality is (like a lot of Japanese culture) supposedly very focused on a group think and group work mentality. You don't want to be perceived as being less committed to your work/company than anyone else, or as being a squeaky wheel. "Live to work rather than work to live." as I've heard it put.
It sounds pretty hellish to someone like myself coming from a country where the importance of individuality (and to an extent, slacking off) has always at least been paid lip-service.

Given that, what I don't understand is the "save time" argument, surely you would spend at least as much time if not more later cleaning yourself up than you would if you just went to the bathroom?

Okay... I think there's at least one thing Japanese can't do better...
Tasty Mexican Tacos!!!!

Well, cleaning yourself up happens at home and not in the workplace.
The Japanese are so overworked. Well, they have a word translated as death by overwork.

But, but, but...

The smell.

The feeling of sitting in your own shit and piss.
