Who would sexually assault a robot?

My guess would be Johnny 5.

Anthony Michael Hall and that other guy.

I suppose this thread begs the following question:

Which is worse? Movies derived from videogames, or videogames derived from movies?

Any male would fuck a robot if it looked human enough. Isn't that the whole point of making androids?

Shit, you have a point there.

Games off of movies usually suck. I usually enjoy watch movies based off video games.

They have been more good games based off movies than there have been movies based off games. Of course, there have been way more games based off movies, so statistically speaking, that's unsurprising.

But, I mean, here's a short list of good games based off movie licenses:

Rare's Goldeneye
EA's Lord of the Rings trilogy

There's not four good movies based off video games, so the video games win. I dare say there aren't THREE good movies based off video games.

Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts had a shitload of them.

Good movies based off of games:
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 3
Silent Hill

Games Based on Movies:
Goldeneye
Kingdom Hearts
Spiderman (from the 1st movie)

I'm stuck

Those aren't "good" movies, or ones a group can come to a consensus on as "good". Mindlessly entertaining popcorn flicks definitely. You can say the same thing about the Tomb Raider movies and Doom. The only movie based on a video game that even comes close to being good that I can think of off the top of my head is the first Mortal Kombat movie, and that was just a mindless action flick.

There's the limitation - they can't become anything more than mildly entertaining action flicks, while video games based on movies are predominantly cheaply made for a quick profit. Goldeneye seems to be the only major exception in regards to quality.

Segas Aladdin Toy Story 2and Lion King were pretty good games. Then they made an Aladdin game based of the series which was also fun. Disney games seem to be pretty fun.

The resident evil movies were pretty cheesy. Yawn fight off zombies yawn. The third movie was completely pointless. Wow laser scene, again. I saw half of silent hill before i deleted i off my comp. Nothing new to the movie genre.

I agree, the original Genesis Aladdin was fun to play.

I dont think I would count the Kingdom Hearts game as movie-based games. Sure they include some scenes based off of Disney movies, but they aren't fully based on movies as Goldeneye was, since the story behind the KH games is totally different in terms of the original Disney movies.

I can't think of anything, anything ANYTHING redeeming about the RE movies aside from "well the first one is kind of a prequel to the games.... sort of.... and they didn't really use any actual RE stuff, so there wasn't much to fuck up...."

doom was entertaining, but you had to pretend it wasn't supposed to be doom. in fact, I got a friend to say he liked it by not letting him know the name of the movie until the end credits.

street fighter II: the animated movie was fantastic, if you count anime flicks.

I'm more concerned with what MIGHT be coming to a theater near you....

The possibility of Castlevania, Everquest, Doom 2, Duke Nukem, & Metroid films intrigue me. The thought of a Mortal Kombat 3 or Sims movie make me cower in fear. At least I can console myself with the fact that they have been trying to make an MK3 for years, but haven't as of yet.

If Area 51 starts with a guy being driven up to aliens and, being dropped off, and killing them for the rest of the movie, then it might be good. My kind of Area 51 would have no dialogue.

hahhahahaha, that would be fantastic. I'm curious about the pac man movie.

Posted: Jan 04 2008 08:22 pm

Pac-Man would almost certainly be a CGI cartoon with no humans in it.

2010 SLF Tag Champ Joined: Jun 07 2006 Posts: 12294

Nah, it would be a film about a terrorist cell called "G.H.O.S.T." trying to steal a briefcase full of pellets that contain biochemical weapons, and the only man who can stop them is a "Positive Agenda Cellbuster" played by Bill Goldberg.
