heyyy urgeok(love that dog, is it available on ebay?)...

Successful games can rarely be successful movies...guess the makers are running out of ideas real quick to look into game stories...we got Halo, Far Cry, et al lined up for later releases...

...just wait and watch...

howdy ..

re bames and movies ... just look at the source.
its not like video games are aimed at an older mature audience themselves .. they're aimed at younger kids with time on their hands.

the standard formula is : younger audience : younger actors/ throw away directors = weak product.
its bad enough for regular movies let alone a film based on a plotless video game.

only exception being Silent Hill...so far...

I heard that many people had heart attacks when they went for the first screening of the Evil Dead...and the Exorcist carried a warning also for older folks and pregnant ladies not to watch it...

Audiences need a similar warning before an Uwe Boll flick too...

"WARNING: You are watching this mindless movie after blowing your hard-earned money on it. If you die of boredom, we are not responsible."

i dragged 2 people to see house of the dead.
i'm still living with that embarrasement.

as a matter of fact (other than silent hill which i enjoyed) the last 3 horror films i paid to see in a theatre i dragged friends to - and was embarrased each time (the village, RE2, HOTD)

and remember .. i also paid big $$$ for a babysitter to see this shit too - adding monitary injury to insult.

That can be a real embarrassment. A movie which sux so bad, and having the company of friends whom YOU called to go with you. Village, HOTD, RE2...geez urgeok I m glad I wasnt in your shoes...

I went alone to those movies and once they were over I was like "hey its over? Wasnt this supposed to be a horror movie?"

Wish I could sue the movie makers for duping me of my money grrrr...
