I'm sorry - but they need to get off their asses and give us a SH1 "remake" game. Not that they need to change stuff around like they did with Resident Evil 1 for GC, but they could update the graphics and control system.
I loved the shit out of that game - to have them deny us that game is enough to make me want to put their kids in a goddamned car fire. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
My dad is pratically begging me to see this movie with him. He's been on a horror movie kick the last year or so - watching basically anything.
I must admit, its going to be weird going to a horror movie with my dad. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
So... you people are only going to acknowledge the reviews that agree with what you want the movie to be? Don't you people understand what the word BIAS is? I want the movie to be good - but a bad movie is a bad movie. I'll let you know what it is when I see it tonight.
For the people that bash Roger Ebert because he's saying that the movie the general public has yet to see and is too narrowminded to even fathom that the movie could be awful is that Ebert has long been a supporter of such strange fare as Mulholland Drive and City Of Lost Children. How ya doing, buddy?

Perhaps the fact that he didn't "get it" was because there was nothing there to get. I mean, I appreciated the movie as to what it was but I was also familiar with the gaming series. As devout as the movie was to the series, it's ultimately the fault of the writer and director for lacking a discernable plot outside of elaborate chase scenes from Dantesque monsters. Yes, thats a trademark of the series - but then you have to think that perhaps Silent Hill isn't what it's cracked up to be. It's not this pesudo-intellectual horror that so many people are convinced of. It has some really neat images in it - but what beyond that? How ya doing, buddy? |
There are exceptions to this - I've mentioned Mulhollhand Drive. There are other movies by David Lynch that are more or less successful in making successful stories by purposely lacking in narrative or cognative flow.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
While I disagree with Ebert's rating, I do agree that something nessessary was lacking in plot. Something like a "Why should I care?" mentality for the audience to hook on to. I'll say more on the subject of the film tomorrow morning. FELIPE NO |
Your problem is that you are unable to discern the difference between your someone insulting something you like and actually having any evidence to back up your claim. You're saying this because he said something that disagrees with you - nothing more and that shit don't float. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

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. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
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.
Perhaps you meant "detailed" and I'm misreading? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I was speaking idiomatically. |

I have to disagree on the subtlety thing. Silent Hill was the furthest thing from subtle. FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I think your qualm isn't without merit though - I'd complain that the Silent Hill series needs to stop having characters who are returning to the resort town because they were happy there. Once is fine, twice is redundant. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
If the toilet were only a little larger, I'd flush you down it like so many urban legend alligators.
You're not even a ground-pounder, bitch. Stow the fake manly attitude and go back to being a limberdicked wetnurse.
I've never met a Marine who was a stupid bitch but you ARE a stupid bitch, so you ain't no Marine, son. How ya doing, buddy? |
