Silent Hill movie

Oh definitely, but it gets to a point of being over-saturated with games featuring 'bad-asses' with horribly written dialogue where you just want to turn the volume down.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's not either or though, bad ass or blank slate. Henry could of had some sort of personality, would of been nice.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah it was alright. Should have just stuck with the original story really. And I agree with Megalith, why couldn't they have used some of the better Silent Hill music instead of the same thing 900 times.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

They used one song as a sort of 'theme' for the picture. That's why this specific track came more often.

FELIPE NO

Care to name a couple?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I wonder if they will try to turn the "Theme Tune" for Silent Hill into club mixes for nightclubs like they did for Brokeback Mountain. That would be interesting, lol.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

While Silent Hill 4 does take this a bit far, the rule stands for all games. You can't attach a gamer to a character they cannot understand.

So a game gets extra points by not writing an actual protagonist, okay.

No, wait, what? Where do you get this stuff from?

If you have a game with a deep plot there simply has to be a character that you can empathize with in some type of way during their journey. This is true with any good story or it is not a good story.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So I heard that Sean Bean is going to star in the Silent Hill sequel in order to find his wife and child, and his fight scene with Pyramid Head will be choreographed by Yuen Wo-ping.

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

I found a movie poster for this earlier. Looks pretty realistic to me.

That guy looks like a samurai to me. Looks Photoshop to me..

hrmm.. a samurai in Silent Hill..

Hey, I'd watch it.

Here's a quote I found on IGN regarding the sequel to Silent Hill, from Christophe Gans himself:

The sound is amazing in the game. And the music…spectaculariffic."

Gans went on to ensure some continunity between the two films: "Sean Bean's character will visit Silent Hill once more and, as some fans have suspected, will play the role of James from Silent Hill 2. As you can see from this movie poster (an early draft), we've taken liberties with James' attire and weaponry. He's prepared for whatever Silent Hill may present. Avary submitted a rough draft of the sequel's script last week and we're currently throwing a bunch of ideas around. We definitely want more of the Red Pyramid, but there's also the possibility of overdoing it a bit. You know, pleasing the fans and ourselves with a certain character can kill what made him cool in the first place."

Do you have a link to that interview?

It's a joke.

Figured. Lame.

Well, heres an example. Ever play Wing Commander III?

Here you have Mark Hamill (!) as the main character Christopher Blair. Blair interacts with all these characters in the game - you have Maniac who's the obligatory "crazy" person, you have two love interests, you have Cobra as the person whos a bigot, you have the idealistic youth with Vaquero...

But Blair lacks any personality himself. Sure, he's there and he interacts with the world around him. But nothing happens to Blair. Nothing in the story really affects him - even when you find out your best friend from the last game + two add-ons is a traitor, you get a *choice* as to if you seek revenge or not. How... clinical.

Main characters HAVE to be static. A player has to be able to emote themselves through the character - otherwise you're just watching something. You can't play a game where the player is Jack Nance in Eraserhead though I'd love to see the attempt.

Since when do games have "deep plots"? They may have more obtuse plots than most games but I've never seen a Playstation game handle something like War And Peace. Even my all time favorite game Final Fantasy Tactics isn't "deeply plotted".

Perhaps you meant "detailed" and I'm misreading?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I AM THoroughly disappointed. Bad cast, bad script, clusterfucked plot, it was just fucking vile. It was a shitty horror movie, but it was a golden comedy. I just couldn't take the substandard shit seriously and laughed the whole time. Best part was the scene with the hot, dead, scapel nurses. NO CONTEST.
The only thing I recognized from the game in the movie were the MAPS....

I think Final Fantasy Tactics had a very intricate and involved plot. Plenty of character development, events common to the time, and a gripping storyline. I think it'd be an amazing idea if they made a Final Fantasy Tactics movie and FOLLOW the FUCKING GAME as the script.

You lose all credibility.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I only played Silent Hill on the playstation. Remember the random signs and maps on the streets?

FELIPE NO

I trivial detail I eyed in the movie that was actually part of the game, but it doesn't matter much.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

yeah it's been a while since I played silent hill on the playstation. Probably around 2000. However, it doesn't take away the fact that the movie was sacrilege to silent hill fans.

How can you say that when you only played the first one a few years ago and barely remember it. You're a farce.
