I have no interest whatsoever to see Sky Captain. it just looks...cheesy.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

It's nice to see Karl Urban getting lead roles, but, Karl, baby, don't you know that video-game movies are NEVER good for your career? (I don't care what Angelina Jolie says.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
...I think Karl is trying to be a latter day Kevin Bacon. Note his costar is The Rock.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If they have a fight scene together, I will forgive a lot.
I did see Cradle 2 The Grave, after all.
I'll at least need to see.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband's a big Doom fan. We'll be there.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I kinda liked Riddick, too. And I can't wait for Sky Captain. And I'll probably see the Urban-Rock thing, too. Sunday matinee, why not?

Yeah but it did have Jet Li and Mark Dacascos. IJS

I will see anything with Dacascos in, sadly. Well, except Iron Chef.
Karl Urban and The Rock together might be a similar sized pull. I'm hugely skeptical of a movie based on a FPS game. Lucky I'm not that deep.

Especially since the game made no pretence of being anything other than an excuse to shoot lots of zombies and demons. The plot was thinner than soggy rice paper but that didn't matter because the game was so damn fun.
Considering the quality of the Doom III graphics (and ignoring some of the game-play problems), I can't see how a Doom movie could possibly be more fun than playing the game. It'd be like watching over someone's shoulder while they played--iow, boring.

Me, I want to see a Tekken movie, but only if it's Tekken 3. Or maybe 4. And then they could do the Tag Tournament.
Instead, we may very well get Tetris with explosions sooner.
