Just Fall into the Sea Already:

Hollywood: Do I need to say more? For years, I have watched movies which have entertained me, yet some that have severely lowered my intelligence (What Lies Beneath, The Blair Witch Project, etc.).

I have also seen Hollywood take something precious to a large majority and ruin it for the masses. Has anyone seen a positive video game turned movie? No. Prime example: Street Fighter. Anyone seen it? If memory serves me correctly, it was like a live action G.I. Joe without Cobra Commander's stand-in, M. Bison, screaming at his men with demoralizing hatred or even slightly cool. Video games turned to movies are usually synonymous with another word: B-movie.

Or how about the Mario Brothers movie? It was so bad, I took years of psychology just to figure out the different types of memory blocks to tune out such a painful part of my childhood.

Disclaimer: I am not against the idea, I just haven’t really seen one done well. I have not seen either Resident Evil movies... but people who have seen them have thoroughly enjoyed them. They may be an exception.

What I have seen lately is that Hollywood is releasing a movie based off of the PC’s original king of first person shooters, Doom, this fall. What’s even worse is that the movie is going to be starring America’s other fake world (wrestling)’s own The Rock.

Here is what I think happened: Id software got wind that Bungie was teaming with a stellar team to create a movie based off of Halo, that they decided to try to catch them ahead of the game first. Sadly, in their attempt to remain king at something has driven them to the loss of their title as the Supreme King of First Person Shooters (with an actual plot line) and will set them up for ultimate failure when pitted against Bungie’s colossus.

Here is a little foreshadowing of events to come:
