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.

Huh. I am completely befuddled by the news links here. What does "over-delivered on the script" mean? Too many words? He's going to be so busy editing that he won't be able to direct? They realized that someone who would write that script has no business directing? What? (Still bitter about Stoppard's dismissal).
And why would anyone care about changes to the "Doom universe?" I mean, I've played all the games, and you know, they are like playing a movie, but I'm not emotionally invested. Basically you shoot stuff in dark tunnels that all look the same. There might be a grue.
Now, if they went back and made the Lovecraft connection (Sandy Peterson helped write the original Doom, and he's the guy that wrote the Call of Cthulhu rpg off of Lovecraft's work), I could get invested I guess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No late fee, but you have to buy it or pay a restocking fee if you're more than a week late. I wonder how many people will notice that before being asked to pay up?

My opinion of Blockbuster is best expressed by saying I wish the cursed videotape from Ringu actually existed so I could return it to their store un-rewound and let the clerks join in the fun.

The movie itself may just trump their efforts. We are talking about Ewan McGregor, after all.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
And Michael Bay, who never saw an action thriller that he couldn't pack full of homoeroticism.
