Paul W.S. Anderson Says Something About Another RESIDENT EVIL Film!!

whoops by jr42602	Jul 1st, 2008 11:12:37 AM
sorry
I'll go see it by Drunken Rage	Jul 1st, 2008 11:14:49 AM
Saw the others at the theater, might as well see this one, too.
Loved the 1st. 2nd was okay. 3rd was stupid. by NinjaRap	Jul 1st, 2008 11:17:16 AM
Now I fear a fourth, but there IS one obvious place to take the series: Do an adaption of "Resident Evil 4." You know, the GAME. Have Claire and company get to their far-flung Alaskan town only to find it infected with Spanish people and plagas or something, I don't know.
Milla Jovovich by palewook	Jul 1st, 2008 11:17:56 AM
needs to keep turning them out while she can. RE's aren't great but damn they turn my brain to mush. Forcing me watch them while Jovovich is on screen.
Holding Anderson up? by r_number6	Jul 1st, 2008 11:21:22 AM
Not coming up with a "plausible, kick-ass story" never stopped Anderson before. Why worry about it now, W.S.?
No concrete story yet? by santi01	Jul 1st, 2008 11:22:21 AM
I guess that makes sense since there stiil aren't concrete stories for the first 3 movies yet either!
RE5 game looks killer. by Ultron ver 2.0	Jul 1st, 2008 11:23:16 AM
I'm sure it will suck as a movie.
Milla! by Darth Macchio	Jul 1st, 2008 11:24:57 AM
I think this Anderson guy needs to stop. She's never gonna get other work with those movies on her resume and that would suck....if for just not seeing her crazy hotness anymore :( Event Horizon and Soldier...hate em if you must but I liked em...after that the man seems incapable of making a worthy product. That's all fine and good. Just don't take Milla down with you, you selfish prick!
Gus Van Rant, you are the one who is a TARD by g-ride9000	Jul 1st, 2008 11:25:12 AM
I couldn't help but notice you dislike thew Godfather. "It insists on itself"??? I hope for your sake you were joking...because if not, well...good luck with that.
Is she married to this guy? by Series7	Jul 1st, 2008 11:25:44 AM

look i mispelled "the" by g-ride9000	Jul 1st, 2008 11:26:19 AM
Gus Van Rant is going to be so happy...like a little tard
I think its funny by Series7	Jul 1st, 2008 11:28:49 AM
That anderson got Russell Mulcahy to direct RE 3, seeing that Anderson attended the Russell Mulcahy school for directing.
In fact... by barrignite	Jul 1st, 2008 11:30:13 AM
"In fact, it’s coming up with a plausible, kick-ass story that’s momentarily holding him up." Pretty much whats been dogging him his whole career then?
g-ride9000 by WickedChicken37	Jul 1st, 2008 11:31:14 AM
Gus Van Rant's "take" on The Godfather is what Peter said about the movie on Family Guy. Just thought you should know.
why? by mithrandir16	Jul 1st, 2008 11:31:45 AM
why is paul w.s. anderson still allowed to make movies? why oh why?
there are good stories by Judge Briggs	Jul 1st, 2008 11:32:46 AM
it's just the Anderson wants something really shitty to shoot
As for Resident Evil.... by WickedChicken37	Jul 1st, 2008 11:33:31 AM
I would love to see a horror movie made based on the game and not an action flick.
"kick ass story" by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 11:34:41 AM
From the man that ignored the actual Kick Ass story of the game and gave the world..... Amnesia. What. A. Cunt. He's the British Uwe Boll.
I can't believe people are acutally defending this dreck by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 11:36:45 AM
Fucking hell. THE FIRST 2 ARE SHIT. How hard is this?
Milla Jovovich is compelling. by fiester	Jul 1st, 2008 11:37:40 AM
Dunno why, but I will watch her. She does credible action.
but... it is Dreck with MILLA!! by chromedome	Jul 1st, 2008 11:39:10 AM
Paper covers Rock, Milla cancels dreck...
Milla or not, the movies were insulting by SpencerTrilby	Jul 1st, 2008 11:46:22 AM
luckily I did not drop a single dime to see that shit. Too bad millions of moviegoers did, however; and thrice. More power to them.
Mila was so hot by Alkeoholic77	Jul 1st, 2008 11:47:01 AM

Random Rant - I wish somehow new episodes of The Critic would c by MRJONZ72	Jul 1st, 2008 11:53:47 AM
but I know it will never happened..just a very very funny show to bad there was only like 23 episodes. I only mention this because I been watching old episodes on REELZ and it brought back memories of the show Oh and Milla is hot, for some reason I though she was only okay at first..but over time she has grown on me.
will it have anything to do with the 4th game? by The Guy Who Slept Through Everything.	Jul 1st, 2008 11:54:43 AM

A plausible, kick-ass story? by thedarklinglord	Jul 1st, 2008 12:04:37 PM
That didn't stop him from writing the previous three turdfests. How the hell does this fuckwad keep getting work?
9000 is the amount of times i masturbate a day by g-ride9000	Jul 1st, 2008 12:13:34 PM
Gus Van Rant, I do not approve of your family guy references. Stop Fucking the Manatee.
"says a concrete story hasn’t..." by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jul 1st, 2008 12:14:12 PM
hold up. did the others have stories?
Fucking the Manatee:Defined::: by g-ride9000	Jul 1st, 2008 12:16:33 PM
A phrase coined to describe the referencing, retelling or quoting of "The Family Guy". Can be used to describe referencing, retelling or quoting any show or film that could have been made by a manatee.
Gus Van Rant by Skywinker	Jul 1st, 2008 12:19:31 PM
get a fucking job and stop polluting every talkback with your bullshit, you ass gobbling nutcrusher. As for RE4 it will be as shit as the other 3, someone put Anderson out of his misery.
sorry. by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jul 1st, 2008 12:20:32 PM
5th or 6th to use that joke.
Gus Van Rant by Skywinker	Jul 1st, 2008 12:29:55 PM
ah! your Canadian, you need not say anymore, that explains everything.
Too risky by Maximillian Roivas	Jul 1st, 2008 12:30:09 PM
1st one was decent, loved the 3rd, but 2nd one was pure artless garbage and I'm afraid RE4 could be as well. They should just stick to the CG movie that's already being made as we speak. As far as the live action films, there's not much story left to be told
Gus Van Rant by Skywinker	Jul 1st, 2008 12:33:17 PM
sorry pal, I think you'll find the human form of aids = canadians and fans of Homosexual directors with a fag fetish for Affleck and Damon
First Ratfucker Ratner and now this fucking Hack. by alucardvsdracula	Jul 1st, 2008 12:44:44 PM
Why don't you just die in the most horrific way possible and do the entire world a favour you talentless moronic cunt.
zom-bot.com by NinjaRap	Jul 1st, 2008 12:47:03 PM
Yeah, I think that was his mistake. The world never got destroyed in the games; quite the opposite. Umbrella went under and the virus was annihilated with almost no one knowing it happened. Instead he painted himself into a corner. As for Anderson, I think it's extremely safe to say that the Internet haters of this guy only hate him because the Internet told them too. It's not like he's actually made ANY movies that compare to the worst of Uwe Boll or even Michael Bay.
Fuck these movies! by Crackles	Jul 1st, 2008 12:50:53 PM
I liked the first one when i saw it but now that i think about it.....They all fuckin blow!
the resident evil movies by GavinVanDraven	Jul 1st, 2008 12:50:54 PM

apparently make me press the enter button by GavinVanDraven	Jul 1st, 2008 12:51:50 PM
without posting anything after the topic.... ahem. idiot.
Oh good, another shit film... by photoboy	Jul 1st, 2008 12:54:59 PM
... that has sod all to do with the games and is just an excuse for Anderson to get his wife naked on camera whilst shitting on the original characters and story. Still, if they're going to have Leon in this one, Anderson had better fucking cast Jensen Ackles as he's the spitting image of Leon.
as i was going to say. by GavinVanDraven	Jul 1st, 2008 01:01:04 PM
these movies are a guilty pleasure for me. the first movie at least captured the "tone" of the games a little. but all three could have been much much better. the should have more closely followed the games. i bought my first playstation when the first RE game came out, and i am an addict ever since. i dust the whole series off every couple years and give it a playthrough. that being said, the should just reboot the series, and start it off at the mansion, with chris, jill, barry and wesker... and play out that story... without so much "backtracking for items". a reference to green herbs would be funny.... as would "will you take the crank?" um, yes... i think i will. the games have a much deeper story than the movies do anyways. they could put another 5 movies into development, based on the games, and go in a different direction. at the same time, in a different place.... no milla, just a cop with a gun and a whole lotta scary shit.
To the hellfires with Anderson... by Conans Sword	Jul 1st, 2008 01:20:29 PM
everything he gets his hands on turns to shit, wish he'd go back to making his own movies instead of wrecking properties that i care about
That Valentine chick in Resident Evil 2 was smoking... by qweruiop	Jul 1st, 2008 01:21:58 PM
...absolutely one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in a movie. Good god almighty she had some outstanding legs. And that Lois Lane type haircut, just so sexy. She made that entire movie worthwhile.
think they confuse Paul with "THERE WILL BE BLOOD"? =0p by The Marquis de Side 3	Jul 1st, 2008 01:26:13 PM
bet the meetings are like: "Paul...Anderson. Paul Anderson! yeah! Loved "There Will Be Blood" and "Boogie Nights". What's "RE4"? Why not?" Sorry guys. Two different people. One of them deserves green lights, the other does not. So stop doing it.
sonova bitch by turketron	Jul 1st, 2008 01:42:16 PM
PLEASE stop making these movies, or at least give them to someone who can do a reboot of them and make them as good as the games. I rather enjoyed the first, but the second and especially the third movie are garbage. Gotta love the storage bin with a thousand zombies in it in part 3. WTF.
"Paper covers Rock, Milla cancels dreck..." by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jul 1st, 2008 01:48:02 PM
Who was that other brunette in the last one? You know, the one with the tight, blue shirt and dark ass-shorts? Because that babe cancels Milla!
What's up chromedome!!! by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jul 1st, 2008 01:48:28 PM

FUCK THIS HACK by SpawnofAchilles	Jul 1st, 2008 01:57:26 PM
as has been said he fucked the RE series, each movie gets progressively worse (which is really bad considering the first one is a useless piece of shit) all action (and lousy action at that) and all Milla (ugly, no curves) and not in any way faithful to the excellent source material. this hack needs to go kill some other franchises and give RE to a grown up who can actually make a scary movie
Gratuitous full frontal by OptimusCrime	Jul 1st, 2008 02:18:23 PM
from Jovovitch? Nothing against her, she's very attractive, but she's not much up top. I'd rather see that cop from the second one show us the goods.
And another thing by OptimusCrime	Jul 1st, 2008 02:32:06 PM
I liked the games and I enjoyed the movies. I don't get all this bitching about how awful these fucking movies are. The games have people running from zombies and shooting them with guns. The movies have people running from zombies and shooting them. What's so offended your sensibilities here?
MNG! by chromedome	Jul 1st, 2008 02:45:01 PM
The brunette in tight black and blue was Sienna Guillory (wearing a wig?). I cannot concur that she cancels Milla, but they DO complement each other nicely, do they not? Two, TWO Babes for the price of one (ticket). Resident Evil #____, filmed in MillaVision. The "___" can be as high a number as they want, fine by me!
chromedome! by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jul 1st, 2008 02:52:09 PM
Ah, Sienna Guillory. Yeah, I thought she was smokin' hot. She's more my speed than Milla but they're a nice combo-pack either way you slice it.
MNG now means Milla 'N' Guillory!! by chromedome	Jul 1st, 2008 02:57:55 PM
at least as good and a Six and and Eight!!

"Plausible" in a Resident Evil movie?....ROFL! by Boomers_Lips	Jul 1st, 2008 03:15:01 PM

"MNG now means Milla 'N' Guillory!!" by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jul 1st, 2008 03:16:07 PM
HA! As long as I'm the "N" in that love sandwich! Sixes and Eights, baby! Sixes and Eights.
Plausible means a good reason for by chromedome	Jul 1st, 2008 03:21:38 PM
Milla to wake up nude on a gurney again. It is a Self-Fulfilling Plausibility: Milla waking nude on a gurney is a Plausible reason for Milla to wake up nude on a gurney and a plausible reason for me to buy a ticket and own the dvd....
but the question remains, MNG, which way will you Face? by chromedome	Jul 1st, 2008 03:23:49 PM
choose wisely hint: the correct answer is: First One Way, Then The Other
Shit needs to stop by Gungan Slayer	Jul 1st, 2008 03:24:47 PM
Someone needs to stop these bitches up, cause the piles of shit they're producing are getting out of hand. Why the fuck do you spend time and money acquiring the rights to a property (in this case, Capcom's Resident Evil, but it happens all the time with books, comics, etc) if you later barely even use any of its original elements? The RE series of video games are dying to be made into good, actual film adaptations...not the bullshit that Anderson cranks out. Keep your shit to yourself, please.
First One Way, Then The Other by chromedome	Jul 1st, 2008 03:24:57 PM

it could happen!
chromedome by GavinVanDraven	Jul 1st, 2008 03:43:12 PM
yes. there are some games that have very deep plots and characters. Grand Theft Auto 4's cut scenes are cinematic gold compared to the resident evil films.
Resident Evil is a guilty pleasure... by cifra	Jul 1st, 2008 03:47:03 PM
I seriously enjoy the core of it, I think it's seriously underrated. Not a masterpiece, but it would be cool as hell if someone decided to reshoot the first trilogy (what would Tarantino do with this? or Rodriguez?)
Paul Will Suck Anderson by GavinVanDraven	Jul 1st, 2008 03:52:22 PM
has only directed 1 film that i love. event horizon is, for me, one of the scariest damn things i have ever seen. and i am not too sure that has anything to do with his directing. just a great little outerspace ghost story. i find the first resident evil and AVP somewhat entertaining guilty pleasures, but neither are high cinema. mortal kombat and soldier were dreck, i felt myself get dumber as they went on... i think he has a better overall report card than m. night shamalamadingdong, but i have not seen "the sight" or "shopping".... so i cannot give him an overall grade. however, if he directs resident evil 4 it will probably be better than 2 and 3 because he didnt direct 2 or 3, and as i said before... the first one captured the "tone" of the games.
robert rodriguez by GavinVanDraven	Jul 1st, 2008 03:57:11 PM
would be an awesome choice to reboot the series. rose mcgowan as jill? hmmmmmm. that being said. i wish romero had been kept to direct resident evil, and savini to do zombie effects.. throw in stan winston to do the creatures.... holy. fuck.
will the thousands of Alices be in pt.4? by Boomers_Lips	Jul 1st, 2008 03:58:04 PM
well...will they???
a plausible story? yeah, because the first three were SO plausib by GLENN_THE_TOOL	Jul 1st, 2008 04:05:09 PM
really? they make a movie about a top-secret research facility with an AI-controlled security system, yet the only accessible controls to the facility are deep inside it, requiring you to break in? then not only do they reopen the facility not once, but TWICE after the facility goes on lockdown with the intent purpose of keeping the ZOMBIE VIRUS from getting out? then the ZOMBIE VIRUS gets out and somehow, some way manages to turn the continental U.S. into a desert wasteland, altering weather patterns and land structure? this franchise lost plausibility as soon as Paul WS Anderson was hired.
The gamer fanboys can produce it by OptimusCrime	Jul 1st, 2008 04:20:02 PM
It will be seventeen and a half hours long. It will feature tracking shots of a guy who walks across town to find the blue jewel, which he will then place into a portrait in a mansion. This will then open up a secret staircase on the other side of the city, where he will encounter the purple chandelier...alright, you get where I'm going here. I'll stop.
A thousand Millas.... by chromedome	Jul 1st, 2008 04:22:53 PM
..GREENLIGHT this thing and start production NOW (plot to follow later)
Sienna Guillory as Jill by photoboy	Jul 1st, 2008 04:59:15 PM
Was about the only redeeming thing about the entire set of films and she was totally hot. I can only assume she wasn't in the third film because she was way hotter than Jovovitch, so Jovovitch got hubby to write her out of the sequel.
WankStain Anderson worse than Boll by mooli_mooli	Jul 1st, 2008 05:12:16 PM
At least Boll confines himself to bad videogame films. Anderson, on the other hand, branched out and brutally raped two of the greatest sci-fi series with AVP.
This brings to mind a line from The Simpsons by SoWasRed2012	Jul 1st, 2008 05:14:50 PM
When Homer becomes a Krusty the clown, and his first gig is opening a new Krusty Burger, the Hamburgler appears and Homer doesn't know any better than to beat the shit out of him for an extended period of time, after which point a kid starts crying 'st-o-o-o-op, he's already de-e-a-a-d!'. Of any game ever, Resident Evil was the one I wanted to see a fucking good movie come from, and that dream has morphed into hoping for a solid remake in ten years cos this cunt keeps somehow getting fucking work and making sequels to some piece of shit that vomits all over the source material. Milla Jovovich and her nine billion clones can fuck off and die (and that's a sentence no heterosexual man ever, EVER, wants to write).
A story similar to Resident Evil 4 by kungfuhustler84	Jul 1st, 2008 05:24:38 PM
would be so fucking incredible. Not that I have liked any of the movies so far. I love the games though, especially 4.

I hope W.S. Anderson reads this. by SoWasRed2012	Jul 1st, 2008 05:49:57 PM
You see, people like McG, I'll defend in a case like the new Terminator movie, because he seems to be taking a lot of the right steps towards acknowledging and respecting the fact that he's walking into a world with an incredibly intense and loyal fanbase that has been established for years, decades even. He knows he's facing an uphill battle, that much has been made clear from the few posts on his blog. The amount of shit thrown at him would've discouraged a lesser man. Whether the film is good or not remains to be seen, but I fully respect him for burdening himself with the mammoth responsibility of not only following in James Cameron's footsteps, but attempting to restore the franchise to it's former glory after the misfire that was T3. Paul W-I've-Added-Initials-To-My-Na me-In-An-Effort-To-Add-Instacr ed S. Anderson has neither the same respect for the franchise, nor the same tenacity as McG. He buttfucked the original game in the 1st movie, he buttfucked the 3rd game in the 2nd movie (yeah, throwing a very hot Jill and a crap Carlos in there isn't fooling anyone), and he buttfucked a perfectly good screen-heroine-to-be in the 3rd movie when he brought Claire into it. I can understand deviating from the source material when the transition from medium to medium necessitates it, but for fuck's sake, if I got to see a movie called Romeo & Juliet I expect to see fucking Romeo & Juliet, when I watch Watchmen I expect to see a film made by some guys who actually read, love and respect the source. I do NOT expect to see massive elements of the story replaced with some shit about an amnesiac super-model the director happens to be boning who progressively acquires super-powers as the story becomes ever weaker and facilitates the NEED for said super-powers to keep Joe Six-Pack swilling those beers and coming back for whatever piece of shit sequel you churn out. Fuck off. Stop making movies. Go work in a McDonald's. They like the kind of shit you're shoveling.

an unpopular opinion by Neosamurai85	Jul 1st, 2008 06:49:56 PM
I sorta liked RE:Extinction. I say that in the sense that I think all three suck, but it really did look and feel about a hundred times better than Apocalypse. I came out of the first one frustrated by some of the same peeves I had with Silent Hill (which is my favorite survival horror series): they worked off of the sequel. Making RE:2 into the first movie just set the whole shit storm in motion for these films to never make sense. It was mildly amusing, but overall a reaffirmation that Mr. Anderson does indeed suck. I mean, he does have some vague understanding of how horror works. He showed that with Event Horizon. Apparently he just thought adapting a game loved for how scary it was into something that isn't the least bit scary would be creative. Either way, he made something almost interesting. RE: Apocalypse was so bad I've actually erased most of it from my memory. The more I try to recall it... agh! a fucking Goro style slugfest at the end... WTF!!!???!!!?!?!?!? Perhaps more details would secure my case about 2 being worse than 3, but I've got better things to do with my life. 3 just looked better. It looked like it was trying to be scary and harsh and REesque. Sure, it was the final and ultimate fuck you to the games, but at this point, its sorta nice to know you can play the future games without these crapfests' taint on them. I mean really, who has played Resident Evil 2 recently and got through the train cart battle without having that shitty film's nod to it creep into your mind? Peace.

"implied by the ending of the last one" by Adelai Niska	Jul 1st, 2008 07:56:39 PM
I havent seen it or heard about it, and I know that it would have ended like that. It's the anderson way, he makes 90 minutes of shit, then shows you the idea that you came to see, and makes you wait a few years before seeing a new 90 minutes of shit followed by a cool ending.
What's a Paul W.S. Anderson? by Dr. Wordsmith	Jul 1st, 2008 08:06:51 PM

RESIDENT EVIL Movies - Fun! by Spymunk	Jul 1st, 2008 08:51:14 PM
I personally love going to the theater to see the RESIDENT EVIL movies. They're what going to the movies is all about, really - just having fun and enjoying oneself and not trying to be grumpy about what you're seeing on the screen. Have a good time. This doesn't mean that I ascribe to the whole "turn off your brain at the door" idea - I don't like that kind of attitude. But RESIDENT EVIL as a series represents is the kind of movies a person goes to see to follow the adventures of the main character. I care about Alice as a character and I like seeing her grow and change as the series goes on, and to revisit the world of the story. Naysayers can criticize the movie for not being "deep" enough - but I just enjoy the story. So there.

the 3rd movie is good, and actually works GREAT as a standalone flick. i didn't care for #2 at all, and i think you can go directly from #1 to #3 without losing anything. watch #3 and just ocnsider it a post-apocalyptic movie about a woman who has mysterious powers. there's a mysterious corportation testing out clones of her. there's a band of friends she knows from a while back that she helps out. plus, i love the Boy and His Dog feel of the first bit where she's traveling alone...
Russel Mulcahey directing #4? by doodler	Jul 1st, 2008 09:20:05 PM
i think the upgrade in director is what makes #3 better, both from an action standpoint, and from a storytelling/characters/pacing standpoint. if Mulcahey directs #3 and PWSAnderson only writes/produces, it'll be worth watching....
Sometime I wonder about Hollywood... by conspiracy	Jul 1st, 2008 09:23:55 PM
A Place where guys like this Anderson and many many others...get to keep making one bomb/shit movie after the next. Any other business if you don't produce you are fired or demoted...but in Hollywood if you make crap or a complete bomb..they give you another 100-200 Million and a 3 movie deal just to make sure you really suck.
Each RE movie falls into a different genre... by one_crazy_nagger	Jul 1st, 2008 09:32:37 PM
RE 1 was classic horror, RE 2 was an action/comedy, RE 3 was a sci-fi/adventure, what genre will he be using for RE4?
ONLY way I would pay money to see 4... by turketron	Jul 1st, 2008 09:37:04 PM
Is if the entire movie was an R rated 1.5 hours of thousands of bare naked Millas running around killing zombies and other monsters.
Why? by Scottman22	Jul 1st, 2008 09:48:37 PM
Why don't they make a Resident Evil movie that's actually based on the video games so that there's a possibility of a good film ... so pretty much the exact opposite of the first three films.
Liked the first 2 RE's but the last one was bad by GreatCzarsGhost	Jul 1st, 2008 10:21:57 PM
RE3 was a terrible. It looked like everyone was just reading a scrip and walking through the movie. Add to this Milla was pregnant while filming and to cover up her condition they had her waring jackets in the desert. Just a bad movie all around.
OMFG, STOP MAKING THESE MOVIES!!! by BV	Jul 1st, 2008 10:48:12 PM
These films are NOT Resident Evil, in any way, shape or form! Christ, make it stop!
Speaking of Silent Hill by OptimusCrime	Jul 1st, 2008 11:04:39 PM
It was a horrible movie that completely worked for me. It had bad acting, poor plot, and bad writing. It smelled like shit, but tasted great. I guess when we're talking guilty pleasures, that one takes the cake for me.
RE:OptimusCrime by Neosamurai85	Jul 2nd, 2008 12:25:58 AM
Yeah... I sorta agree, but am still frustrated at what could have been. I mean, Bean should have been the one running around in Silent Hill, he was perfect casting completely misused. And then there is the millions of other things as a HUGE fan of the series that bug me about the film. Still. I own it. and do like to kick back to it. But christ, The Dark (also with Bean) did a better job capturing the spirit of Silent Hill. Such a disappointment. Better the RE though.
no more Alice bullshit by kungfuhustler84	Jul 2nd, 2008 01:30:20 AM
the game's characters are much cooler anyway. I was just watching RE4's cutscenes, marveling at the cinematic quality of the action. I really wouldn't mind a movie that is a little crazy with cultists and big monsters, but it can still be smart and fun. I just watched the second Resident Evil movie a couple of weeks ago and it was just rank. It had elements of the game but they were executed soooo poorly. The movies are great materials for movies. I can't see why nobody cares to actually make it as cool as the games do.
Lack of milla jovovich posts in this tb is disappointing. by Shermdawg	Jul 2nd, 2008 04:21:02 AM

The reason the RE film suck is simple by Lost Jarv	Jul 2nd, 2008 05:01:07 AM
The games actually are well plotted. However, Anderprick believes himself to be some sort of fucking genius so threw them out to reinvent the wheel. And came up with a square version. Amnesia, really? that was the best you can do?
Since there's gonna be a RE4 by Obi_Wan_Guacamoli	Jul 2nd, 2008 06:03:37 AM
Can someone else besides Anderson try their hand at writing/directing it? He's already had his fun and shat all over the RE franchise.
Here's what he should say about it: by pokadoo	Jul 2nd, 2008 07:01:16 AM
"I'm going to confine myself to solely making Resident Evil pictures, to save myself ruining any other good projects. I'm so sorry!!"
Paul WS Anderson is the biggest fucknut since Uwe Boll ! by Motoko Kusanagi	Jul 2nd, 2008 08:13:21 AM
Both definitely need to go fuck themselves. Or each other, I don't care. As long as those atrocious "directors" back the fuck off from our beloved games!
Wouldn't it be nice to have a kick-ass, hard-as-fuck by Seph_J	Jul 2nd, 2008 08:30:49 AM
movie of 'Unreal Tournament'. Oh yeh, I've already written one. But instead of having my take on a nice, fresh and new franchise.... or indeed see a PJ produced HALO.... wouldn't it be better to make Resident Evil 37! Yes studios!! Way to be creative!
As long as that Valentine chick comes back... by qweruiop	Jul 2nd, 2008 10:00:06 AM
...I am a happy man. She was easily the hottest woman out of all of them, with that mini skirt and that Lois Lane haircut.
That YouTube Video Is Infinitely Better Than The Movie Itself! by LaserPants	Jul 2nd, 2008 10:41:44 AM
Haha! Great stuff!
Wow, the simpletons backup another Paul "I shit my bed"Anderson by Roketopunch	Jul 2nd, 2008 12:52:23 PM
Really, another one. Sigh, since the retards keep seeing his crappy movies, he may as well make another. I'd rather teabag a hotplate than see another one of his films.
Silent Barbecue by Neosamurai85	Jul 2nd, 2008 01:03:24 PM
The skin rip is the highlight of the film. It's shocking, brutal and in character for Pyramid Head. The barbecue and the hellraiser barbwire shit at the end pissed me off. The barbecue, both because it felt like a major misuse of a prominent character from the series and secondly because the CGI felt CGI. A lot of the CGI "enhancements" really took away from Silent Hill. Smart lighting and those twisted kids would have looked a hell of a lot scarier without the fire effects added. And the barbwire mega-death... it just was too over the top. It wasn't Silent Hill. Silent Hill is about the unsettling horror of its world. The already mutilated bodies cluttering the path. Rare is the depiction of violence in the games. Heck, Silent Hill 2 was even advertised as a game where you AVOID conflict, and was made such that it was highly unpleasant to kill a monster. There should have been more hiding and than a few unpleasant rusty pipe battles. That barbwire mega monster pissed me off. Reminded me of the House on Haunted Hill remake. Movies going along, sorta not sucking. Geoffrey Rush is genius casting... it's a pretty scary Jacob's Ladder ripoff... than that bullshit CGI ghost comes at the end and the film goes to utter shite. All defense of the film breaks down, and the path is laid out for all the crappy films like Thir13en Ghosts that were to follow.
A concrete story was never decided on the first 3 films either. by Warcraft	Jul 2nd, 2008 08:46:47 PM
So what's really holding this shitty 4th film up?
some peeps have beat me to the scathing "concrete story" insults by Warcraft	Jul 2nd, 2008 08:49:09 PM
sorry for the redundancy.
