Bob Hoskins is great and all, and I'm not the one person is the end all be all, but to me Mario and Luigi will always be Lou Albano and Danny Wells. They could have at least got a Luigi with facial hair. He's Mario's younger brother, but not at a 20 year age difference.

I would contest that something like Mario Bros. translated into the setting of a live action film is certainly open to interpretation, and furthermore should not be taken very seriously at all.

All of those damn spoofs... they really aren't funny. I wish they would stop, they don't even make alot of money, but they do make a decent profit since they're so low-budget. grrrr.

As for video game movies, I've never seen one that I liked but I'd kill with a crowbar for a Half-Life movie.

They shouldn't even name them fill in the Blank movie anymore. They should call them "Unfunny Parody Movie Yearbook (State the year)."

Really... why do people love bad SNL and MadTv skits so much they'd pay 10 bucks to see them? They don't even deserve to be DTV's.

Any sequel past 3, VS movie, Video game movie, film made by people who have previously done music videos or video games, remakes*especially of any movie that's not even at least 30 years old*. and lastly anything by Eli Roth, Micheal Bay, The Wayans Brothers, Uwe Boll and Jason Friedberg/Aaron Seltzer.

I could go on but yeah...

But Spitfire, didn't Steve Barron direct music videos before TMNT?

*Spitfire* · 08-14-2008, 07:48 PM

Actually I just looked him up and he did at least one movie and some TV episodes before turtles. I don't care if they make movies after music videos but when their handed something like Aliens or Predator, or Aliens VS Predator and have never made a real movie before we get AVP: Requiem, a combination of three things I said didn't need to be made in one. Plus it's a complete waste of all the money that was tossed into that, a movie that was like 90% special effects.

Your right some good directors come out of it but normally only with practice, it's never an instant thing like with all directors. Which means make some damn independent films first and see if you can handle a big Hollywood production after that.

**Jester** · 08-14-2008, 07:50 PM

Maybe there's a new catagory for "Movies that shouldn't be made:" All effects and zero plot!

Right like I said Micheal Bay movies...

**Jester** · 08-14-2008, 08:11 PM

Touche' my friend.

Wait, I liked the Rock and the Island...

A lot of people liked Independence Day too but if we look at Mr. Emmerich his movies are laughably bad now.

I never saw The Rock myself, heard good stuff about it. I thought the Island was a rip off of several movies at the same time. That doesn't bother me if it's a spoof or homage but he was being serious.

**Jester** · 08-14-2008, 10:02 PM

Maybe I just like The Island because of Ewan McGregor andatl definitely Scarlett Johansson

I, as well as many others, felt the Silent Hill film was likely as close as you could get to the spirit of the game series without using 32-bit polygons. The first Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat were also decent.

*Slap-Happy* · 08-15-2008, 02:14 PM

Anyone heard of the movie Silent Night, Deadly Night?

Ahh.

Well people with taste thought the movie was a boring husk of a movie that had wooden acting and no point.

Personally I felt they focused all their work onto the artistic side of things and didn't spend time on anything else. The style of it was dead on they just screwed up everything else up so bad. I like movies that make me think but when I can't even pull any sense out of the ending I just don't care. When I saw it in theaters I tried to make sense of it but at this point in my life if I have to do that the movie can go **** itself.

I even bought it on DVD cause I wanted to see it in HD. The special effects looked horrid in HD so that tossed everything I liked about it out the window. I'm sure they were bad to begin with but I have bad eyes so I didn't notice till I saw it in HD. Also since I had watched it twice and the ending still made no sense and failed to provoke any intelligent thought I was done with it.

The Gong Show Movie did not need to be made.

Nor The Ringmaster.

A tie on both those movies.

George Lucas' insatiable pocketbook tends to disagree.
