I swear, if I didn't know better, (not that I do, but...) I'd think you were some kind of market analyst trying to get user demographics...

Truthfully, none of them.  The only one that remotely fires my interest is the failure that will be the FF movie.  Or maybe the atrocity in waiting that will be War of the Worlds

They probably took the script from the old one, tweaked it to fit with a modern setting and refilmed it.

Sideways looks somewhat interesting, even if I have absolutely no idea what its about.

You know, when I first saw the trailer for HHGTTG, I thought the picture on the book was a three-eyed planet sticking out its tongue.  It took me quite awhile before I realized it was a hitchhike-thumb. :nervous:

At first I thought it was some sort of bird.



What the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy about? Well, Life, the Universe and Everything.

read it, you won't regret it.

That new Batman movie. Star Wars, just for Star Wars' sake. Hotel Rwanda (even though it's already out.)

The new batman movie is about him going around learning all the martial arts to be kewl.

So it looks like it might be semi decent for the first half of the movie anyway...

I really do not know. For the first time in ages there's nothing particularly interesting coming up on the horizon. I don't know if we'll renew our cinema passes this year.

Yeah, except those games sucked, and all the other ones that have been made into movies aren't much better. Plus, Silent Hill is actually a game that would work well as a movie, and the makers of the game have as much influence over the movie's production as possible.

Serious answer: Batman Begins. It looks so cool and it has Christian Bale. And it's Batman. And it has links to Year One.

Seriously, I've seen so much crap this year that seeing a good movie is like digging for diamonds in cesspit.  The movies I'm looking forward to this year are any good ones. Be it drama or action or horror. Just something that makes me feel I wasn't ripped off.

The only thing I want to see is hitchhiker.  It's not going to be as good as the books, but it will still be a riot.

Narnia? :wtf: They're making a film called Narnia? Well that's going to suck - how can you fit all the books into one film? Or is it just LWW: The Movie?

Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the best anyway....

As for me, I'm not really sure. The Magic Roundabout could be good, but it's probably going to be awful. I'm definitely seeing HHGTTG. I'm kind of on-edge about the Dark Materials films - they're some of the best books I've ever read, but the studios have had all the potentially controversial religious stuff removed (which kind of screws the plot over), and has given the usual "it won't go down well in middle America" bull**** excuse... :doubt:

What exactly was the case with that? Did he write the script and/or direct it, or just quality control or something?

Post by: Lynx on January 27, 2005, 02:55:16 pm
AFAIK he directed the movie. The plot wasn't too bad(read the novelization, it's alot deeper than the movie) but the had to cut out about 20 minutes of the movie because the dumbfu ck test audience was too stupid to understand it. The cut out parts involved a traitor subplot among other things.

The test audience confused the bald guy seen at the beginning(the commander of that asteroid base that gets entered by the Kilrathi) who would be involved in the traitor subplot with the captain of the Tigers Claw because they were both bald, even though otherwise they looked completely different.

Yes, people can be that stupid.

It looks awesome...and it's the first 'movie' tripod we get to see...too bad it isn't coming out till 2007...

To be frank, I consider Far Cry to be one of the worst mainstream games made in recent history. Doom's all good (though I wouldn't put Doom 3 in my top 10 of last year, let alone of all time), but it certainly does not need and would not work as a movie. I should also say that I hate Far Cry because of its utter lack of story. It's a great game if you like mindless shooting, it's just that I don't.
