"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

Pretty easy vote for "Strategy" for me hear. "The Time Bombed Skyscraped" is not a very good movie; no mystery and the action is sort of weird. Though it might be a bit better than 7 or 10, the words "underdeveloped" fit it very well.

I liked them about the same, actually. Movie 9 had the cool Kogoro scene, and Movie 1 had some nice Ran/Shinichi scenes and some good tense moments. Neither mystery is that great.

Movie 1's villain is a member of the "Detective Conan Disproportionate Response" club, which I respect, so I think I'll vote for that one.

Hmm, not sure which to choose yet. Both are okay, yet have their faults.

Time Bombed for some reason.
No amount of apologies will express how much I regret it.

I enjoyed Strategy Above the Depths (I used to have a Titanic obsession :P ) more than Time-Bombed Tower.

Though Movie 9 isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, Movie 1 suffers from the unfortunate problem of being a bad movie with no mystery.
