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.
But...Karl Urban. And The Rock.
Yeah, it's gonna suck.
What, game-wise, sets Doom aside from any other first-person-shooter games? I mean, aside from the fame of the game, why pick that one? Is there anything we have to worry about them actually translating to screen? What are you going to carry through, except for shooting people, and you don't need a joystick for that.

Doom is one of the most profitable video games of all time, and Hollywood wants a some of the BIG PILES OF MONEY that it's earned?
Doom 3 also just came out to big hype. But the movie's gonna be a while.

Which is why I said "aside from the fame of the game."
You couldn't have Mortal Kombat without Raiden, or Resident Evil without zombies.
What does Doom need?
I finally saw Garden State today. It really is a lovely movie. Funnier than I thought it would be. Zach Braff has lips like James Franco -- the kind that I just want to bite. It was really distracting, actually.
I had a few minor pharmacological issues with it, but overall, I really enjoyed it.

Demons. A Doom movie will pretty much be Resident Evil with demons in space. Scientists on a Mars colony do Something Really Stupid and open a portal to Hell. The lead guy comes upon the devastation and blasts his way through armies of infernal evil while trying to figure out what happened and how to stop it. ...exactly the same premise, now that I think of it, but it predates RE, so I'm going to say that RE is Doom with zombies.

Well, it's not original, but suck isn't tied irrevocably to it.
I still want a Tekken 3 movie.
I saw Wimbledon today. Oh, there's a movie made to make ita cry. Kirsten Dunst didn't bother me as much as she did in Spiderman, and Bettany was amazingly charming. The best friend was hot.

I totally agree. And I think Kirsten was less irritating because she was, in a sense, rather incidental to the plot. The movie was all about Paul. And that brief shot of his abs. And, designed for ita: playing tennis through pain. And while Paul was incredibly charming in the scene where Kirsten is hiding behind the pillar from her father, I think the more emotionally real relationship was the one he had with his best friend. Who was, indeed, pretty.
I could care less about a Tekken 3 movie, though, as I've never seen 1 or 2, and I'm not really feeling the lack. I did see Mortal Kombat, but I think that was just visuals attached to a soundtrack that was designed to sell to people with high intensity aerobic exercises in mind. And I've seen Tomb Raider, 1 and 2. They were fine. But pretty much pointless. The pirate movie based on the ride, rather than some lazy sitting down games, was so much more fun.
Of course, I've never been a huge video game fan. Or a comics fan. Hmm.
What, game-wise, sets Doom aside from any other first-person-shooter games?
Nothing that is immediately translatable to the film format. Doom & Doom II had some of the best designed levels of any game ever, along with great monster design but that's really it. The fame of the game lies with the sheer fun of running around shooting zombies and demons.
