Okay, NOW Hollywood is out of ideas - Street Fighter sequel is coming

But this is exactly what I don't get. The story itself is fucking silly. Could you imagine an earnest Tom Hanks or Sam Neill performance in Hotshots 3?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I claim to know how to make films, not know how Hollywood works... That's something they really don't teach at my school. I'll find out on my own when I move out there.

Out of curiosity, what quote and what film do you speak of?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Princess Bride. "INCONCEIVABLE!" "You know, you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

And I can only assume that means you went to a technical program, then? I strongly encourage you to take some film history courses, mate. It'll do your work a world of good.

Well seriously, what are the odds that you'll get a quality story out of a video game that's based of random characters beating the shit out of each other? As far as I'm concerned, the best part of the last movie was that everybody looked like their character but the things like the fact the Guile had a heavy French accent made that kinda worthless. The acting was so bad, it almost made it painful for me to watch. The campy feel was the only reason I even finished it in the first place...well that and the final frame of the movie with the classic poses.

I was speaking idiomatically.

We've become a mob of consumer morons, therefore we make moronic movies. Which part is difficult to understand?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

FUCK! OF COURSE! Although, to my defense, I haven't seen that movie in 8 years. I take a few film studies courses, but it's mostly analysis, theory, and critical study on a particular subject. I took one film history course but it was extremely broad.

FELIPE NO

What school are you going to, anyway?

Well Tom Hanks has done comedies in the past so it wouldn't be beyond him.

I kind of hope for an almost supernatural type of film, you know sort of how most Hong Kong films are with wire jumping and other death defying stunts and of course the game's trademark fireballs.

Honestly, I don't expect much in the movie except to be completely and utterly entertained by some fantastic fight choreography, with Keanu Reeves starring as Ken. I kid, I kid.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It might pull off an "awesomely bad" situation, where the movie sucks, but it's still awesome.

Like the Mario Bros movie.

How ya doing, buddy?

Once this Street Fighter 2 movie comes out, they'll release it again with four new characters in a couple extra scenes as "Super Street Fighter 2", then speed up some fight scenes and release it yet again as "Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo".

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Making a sequel to a movie like this is just sad....

Next they will be making a sequel to Independents day.

Not to say that it probably isn't, but I was surprised when they delayed it to December, a sign that movie studios have faith in their product. It may surprise us.

Huh??? We are talking about dead or alive movie, right, I've seen it, and its utter crap.

The only way they could make a decent Mario Bros movie is if they had Tim Burton directing, imo.

NO.

Tim Burton's visual style doesn't mesh well with Mario's universe. The only way another movie is to work is if it is completely animated, CG or traditional.

What.


WHAT?

WHAT!?

GET OUT. YOU GET THE FUCK OUT RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW NOTHING OF FILM.

Tim Burton directing SMB? So, what? We could get Mario all pissed off at Bowser because he reminds him of an absentee father? So Johnny Depp could play Iggy Koopa, because he's all zany like that? I mean, really, what in the fuck about SMB's light, amusing tone makes you think Tim's heavy handed, father-issue bullshit would be a good fit?
