I am forced to remember the movie almost any time I watch ER. Thankfully I have only suffered through it once and have managed to block most of it out.
I think I would rather sit through the SW Holiday Special...and that is saying quite a bit.

the thing I thought was so lame about Street Fighter the Movie (aside from the horrible acting, lame story, and crappy special effects) was how the movie tried to incorporate every Street Fighter character from the game into the movie, even when there was no point for the character to be there.  It was really lame that there would be introduced a new character in the last ten minutes of the movie.  Why, why I ask you, why?

Other horrible movies that stemmed from video games that need to be condemned is Mortal Kombat: Annihlation.  That movie was worthless.  I never felt so robbed of my money at a movie (aside from seeing Spice World, the Spice Girls movie, but that's a whole different story).  I almost got up and left the theater after the first five minutes when Johnny Cage got whacked.  I should have left because the rest of the movie didn't get any better.

Of course my opinion of Video game movies changed with the Resident Evil series, and House of the Dead.  Those were great movies, which I might add I own with great happiness! :D

I went and saw Alone in the Dark on Wed and what a waste of time.  The good thing about the whole film is it gave me a few moment of peace without having to deal with all the crap that is going on in my life.  Other than that the film was crap.

the only comfort I have in having seen Street Fighter the Movie is knowing that I didn't pay money to see it in the theater.  Thanks Sprig!!


Don't thank me, thank my parents for buying us tickets.

Oh yeah! MK: Annihilation was baaad. I did actually like the first one though. It was a decent popcorn flick and represented the game fairly well.
Except for Christopher Lambert. How the heck did he get in there, much less as Raiden?!?!

The first MK was great.  I loved it and I do agree that I thought Christopher Lambert was an unusal choice for the part of Raiden.  I was half expecting for him to pull out a sword, cut someone's head off, and say, "there can be only one!"

Mortal men and women defeding their homeworld. Mortal Kombat. It's not about death, but life.

I loved it, but it annoyed me that Sub Zero was made into a mindless zombie working with Scorpian.

In the game, Sub Zero was a Living, Liu Kang ninja (Though he quit the order) who was a mortal enemy of the undead Scorpian.

Well there were actualy 2 different sub zero's, the first was the evil brother of the first one (in MK1 and 2) and the real sub zero didn't make his appearence until MK3.  It could easly be argued that they both could have been working for the bad guys even thought they hated each other.

i just want to point out that arguing MK history is nerdier than arguing about feminism in Disney movies.

arguing about feminism in Disney movies is stupid and a waste of time (who care's they're just movies, get married and move on with your life), however arguing about MK is potental Nobel prize stuff, it's is civilization.

oo. that's a tough one. Disney princesses aren't really on my Geek Hierarchy chart, but I'm thinking that the princess argument can be put in the "People who studied folklore and myth" category, and Transformers in the "SF TV fans." However, arguing about feminism may be boring to many, but it's not really "Geeky," whereas arguing about any "coolness" in SF is inherently geeky. So I'm thinking the Transformer argument was more nerdy.

Of course, I participated in both.

The irony of Spriggan telling SE to get married and move on with his life is so delicious I need to brush my teeth.
