Am I going to be selected for your comedy tour, "Stand-Up Before Zod!"?
No, your version of events would involve 99% of that theater walking out and leaving.
Bueno Tiempos!
Diverting power to the blenders!
You are totally wrong about this. This is how your movie dies.
I'm waiting for when the game moves into space, and the protagonist has to high dive into piles of space hay.
The best part of that movie is when Jimmy Fallon shows up at his house with Queen Latifah, and his mom (Ann-Margaret) says, "Stay! I made dinner!"
It should have been called, "Assassin's Creed: Syndication", because they're clearly trying to wring 100 games from this series.
"Aw, fuck… My wife wanted me to get milk from the store, and now you've ruined it."
Sweet! Totally glad I passed on that one. The CG looked awful, and all the action set pieces from the trailer looked ri-goddamn-dicuous.
He's Apollo Creed's great—great-grandfather.
This is correct. I did not see Warcraft. The trailers convinced me not to. I'd totally believe you if you told me that particular movie's plot was just the plot to Warcraft, though.
Yes. In Assassin's Creed: The Pirate One, at least, you murder dudes, and then via your garbage DNA recalling the experience your ancestor had of assassinating them the recently deceased has some sort of out-of-body confessional with his killer.
The thing is, I don't think I've seen a video game movie copy the video game's story wholesale. I agree that it would be a bad idea, but so far, all I've seen is movie studios try and append the game story with shitty a C-grade writer, and get a terrible mashup.
The thing with video game movies is that the people who write plots for big-budget video games, by and large, suck at writing. There are typically plots holes big enough to direct a train through, and those are the games that people choose to make movies out of. What's worse is that there are people who are attached…
I saw the trailer for this, and all I could think was that AMVs got turned into a feature film. This movie just looked like a creative black hole. Glee, without even the semblance of plot that had.
I bought a bootleg DVD set of Andy Richter Controls the Universe off of ebay for 20 bucks and I still consider that one of the most worthwhile purchases I've ever made off the site.
One of those things that doesn't play in text.
