Apparently, the religious overtones (Demons/Hell etc.) were seen as too unsuitable for the target PG-13 rating, so it was changed to "A Virus". Graphic murder and gun violence is still ok for the kids though, it seems. 

Have they really changed it that much? What a fucking HEAP OF SHIT.

CUNTS.

whoa, what the fuck. A Target PG-13 rating?! Oh my god. Makes so much sense, I mean that is Doom's target audience, is it not? Children too young to play Doom 3, and who were still pissing their pants when the original doom came out.

That said, i just read this comment by someone on imdb.com:

"The Rock was on the Daily Show with John Stewart last night and told everyone that he would be starring in the Doom movie." ... "He did state that the movie would be rated R and not PG-13 as some websites have stated (thank God!!) and that the BFG weapon would be in the flick but is referred to as a "Bio-Force Gun"....funny."

So maybe it is rated R, if so, great! But er, the Bio-Force Gun? Anyway, it says on the imdb page that they named fome characters after the id guys, namely Dr Steve Willits and Dr Carmack, which is cool, but the better way to show respect for the id guys would be to not remove their creative vision from the movie en-fucking-tirely.

I'm looking forward to seeing the character called pinky though �_� 

Set on some research facility. No demons, no Hell, no Phobos, just some horrid virus that's turning people into monsters.

So basically this is Resident Evil in Space? Not only have they ruined the concept but now it's a derivative of every other zombie story ever made? 

In continuing with the fine tradition of pretending to be cool by taking part in Asian culture, I've just watched Chunking Express. Its a nice enough film, but it really didn't do anything for me. 

didnt do much for me either, the heavy stylish touches on display severely distracted from the actual film and on the whole it seemed too much like random footage spliced together.

Also, just finished Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Both are fine films but while most of it is reasonably well scripted, some of the dialogue jars with the rest because it sounds scripted as opposed to the conversational tone that's employed in the rest of the film(s). Still, both are good views.

That's basically the idea I got from reading a few previews. 

hi i dont really get what this is about at all this is the first time ive been on this site plz help im confused?? 

This is FUNC_MSGBOARD the best place in the universe omg!!!!!!!!!!!111eleven!!111one11!!

additional : I am the MOST HELPFUL person in the universe omg!!!!!!!!!!!111eleven!!111one11!! 

 

On the miniscule chance that you are not simply an alt-nick of one of the regular mouth-breathers:

func_msgboard is a site that mostly revolves around making user-created levels for the Quake series of games, although there are various other types of discussions going on at any given time as well. Welcome. Also "please" is spelled "please".

On the other hand, it's almost certain that this is some clownboat regular, so if so, then I hope you get anally violated by a hobo for wasting the previous few seconds of my life. 

show respect for the id guys would be to not remove their creative vision from the movie

I think calling it a creative vision is giving them a little too much credit. Let's face it, the Doom and Quake series are more a collection of ad-hoc shit that seemeed cool at the time. 

I think we're alone now/There doesn't seem to be anyone around 

This is the work of Zombie/Black Dog/PeeJ/distrans et. al 

But Peej is in the UK...

Or is he? 

Three Colours - Blue - This is very good, some of the visuals are very haunting and memorable and the themes are very well communicated to the viewer. Well worth watching.

His Girl Friday - Good film, but after a while the manic delivery and acting coupled with the extremely loud and overlapping dialogue started to make my head hurt. Still, theres some good wit on display and its well worth a watch. 

...Three colours in general. what did you think of the "series." Are they all worth watching, or just Blue? 

havent made it to red and white yet, I'll post once I get to them. 

I think i liked white best. 

Constantine - Stupid, but fairly amusing I guess. Some ok visuals and ideas, Hell looks cool, but I was dissapointed there was only really one kind of demon, too bad. Ending was not quite as stupid as I was excpecting. Oh, and Keanu still doesn't know how to act, also, the movie just kinda feels like a long anti-smoking ad.

Beyond the Clouds - Gorgeous anime movie, the backgrounds and visuals here are just so fresh and nice, that alone was enough to make me enjoy it. Otherwise it's some strange (duh, its japanese) sci-fi-ish drama, with a touch of fantasy... the story doesn't make all that much sense, especially during the end, but the characters are ok.

Trouble - Some french movie released here recently, I have trouble deciding if I like it or hate it. The story is pretty interesting, some good psychological thriller ideas... Directing was badly overdone at times tho, some anoying shackycam, and too much zooming on the characters faces all the time, oh and the music sucks horrendously, really unoriginal and predictable classical stuff. 

I seem to have enjoyed this a lot more than you did. Don't get me wrong--it's not OMGAWESOME or anything, but I thought it was quite good.

I was initially horrified when I heard that Keanu was cast as John Constantine and figured he would screw it up beyond all recognition, but I thought he actually did a pretty decent job in the role.

Maybe my opinion is just a bit rose-colored due to the movie being decent and entertaining as opposed to the steaming pile of shit I was expecting, but I liked it. 

Oh yeah, it was better than what I was expecting too, and I enjoyed it, just would'nt see it again or easily recommend it to people. =)
I really didn't think Keanu was any good, just his usual self... (which, fortunatly, didn't fit too bad with the character). His opening and closing his lighter all the time kind of anoyed me too, wonder how many times he accidently sent that thing flying across the stage during filming, hehe, bet he wounded some people with it. 

You know, that Hitler movie.

I thought I remembered someone mentioned it in this thread, but I've been scrolling through 300 posts here now and not found anything.

Anyway, awesome film. Powerful.
Top notch acting, fantastic directing, completely heart-wrenching story. Wonderful account of the physical brutality of WW2 and the mental breakdown of those behind it. Very highly recommended.

(And although it feels really wrong to even think about the movie in this context: There's a lot of sexy uniforms in it.) 

I agree wholeheartedly with you about constantine pjw, and I agree with Bal about hell being very cool. I guess I'll go watch der untergang at the movies sometime.
