Well, vignette style movies are still movies. Look at Creepshow. Granted, the Animatrix is more like a showcase of different artists and ideas, but it never really advertised itself as a singular, full-length movie either.

A lot of movies about games would really be better suited to television series.

One I always think would make an AMAAAAAAZING series is Mass Effect. Surely, you'd have to do some jiggery-pokery to get to the minimum requirements of at least 5 seasons, but it's possible.

And you could make a side mission into an episode.

It'd kinda be like Firefly, just...with aliens.

They were thinking of doing a 'Condemned' film, but having aliens instead of demons. Stuff like that irritates. I figure either follow the plot, or don't and do a separate franchise altogether.

Meh.

Sekto Springs 03-19-2013 12:48 PM

Condemned didn't have demons, just lots of crazy people and cultists who were less than human. I have no idea how they would even retool that plot to involve aliens... then again, they did it for Doom.

They could adapt Gears of War into a period drama.

Good news, they don’t either!

Every time Manco posts now I am immediately filled with contempt, thinking that it is Cammy posting. This is because of his awful Anime/Manga profile pic.

Sekto Springs 03-19-2013 02:10 PM

Manco's name makes me think of a fictional company that specializes in creating designer men. Man Co.

Manco 03-19-2013 02:11 PM

I don’t know whether to feel offended or amused.

e: at both of you.

Yeah, it's just like Black Mesa except it specialises in men's clothing.

Sekto Springs 03-19-2013 02:32 PM

I mean it actually produces physical men. Like a clone factory. All the men are handsome, fit, and stylish.

Y'all should make a game about Manco's username, then make a film of that game. That way, you'll be on-topic.

Hell Yea! Silent hill for the ps1 was scary as shit. I double face Palmed at the movies.

OANST 04-02-2013 12:41 PM

Interloper said words.

Git'Im 04-02-2013 12:44 PM

What are you...

OANST 04-02-2013 12:45 PM

Sleepy.

Git'Im 04-02-2013 12:50 PM

I think you misspelled dim-witted

Nepsotic 04-02-2013 01:02 PM

Oh shit! It's going down! I don't think Git'Im knows what he's getting himself into.

Nate 04-02-2013 03:42 PM

That's enough.

MA 04-02-2013 04:04 PM

so







i like the new cunt.

EDIT: ON TOPIC the Hitman film that was made about the Hitman games i think yeah still haven't seen it though talk about that

Jbot123 04-23-2013 11:23 AM

Ratchet and Clank: The movie.

This is kind of confusing. Wasn't Captain Quark a Villian in the first game?

Wings of Fire 04-24-2013 03:10 PM

Further discussion of that trailer and the argument spinning off from it can now be found here.

Mister Darcy, no!

I thought the first Silent Hill had some great set design and the creatures were truly unnerving. That's about as good as video game movies will ever be.

Nepsotic 04-25-2013 12:48 PM

Despite the fucking up of the story. I can forgive that though, it's an enjoyable film.

Sekto Springs 04-25-2013 12:52 PM

I always felt that if Silent Hill was going to get the movie treatment, it would have to have that kind of avant garde feel. The surreality of SH is welcome material for arthouse horror. The movie was more like a monster showcase, which was awesome in it's own way, but it wasn't really Silent Hill for me.

Nepsotic 04-25-2013 12:59 PM

The film had it's flaws, but to be honest it was a fucking Oscar winner compared tio that shitstain that was released last year.

It was pretty much Hollywood saying "Luk gaise Luk wat we can do wiv special effex hurr".

I don't care how good it looked, it was a fucking mutilation of Silent Hill 3

Sekto Springs 04-25-2013 01:12 PM

Lars Von Trier should direct a Silent Hill movie.

OANST 04-29-2013 05:12 AM

I would watch that.
