"Dazed and Confused (also an actor)"

LMFAHS

Price of Persia made a large profit, but would you say it was a good movie? RE movies have done well, but I would say you would find most critics panned them badly. They certainly were not really related to the early RE games, other than biomod creatures and zombies. I wouldn't put the RE movies in the exact same category as Street Fighter, they aren't THAT bad.

I would also say that Milla had somewhat of a fanbase simply from the Fifth Element, Dazed and Confused, Zoolander, and The Messenger. I wouldn't say huge, but I was a fan of hers and I suffered through the first couple of RE movies simply because she was the female lead.

As far as games based on movie franchises, I would say mainly only Star Wars and LotR games have been really successful, although an argument could be made for the Lego games (Harry Potter, Batman, etc). There are some others that have been decent, but nothing spectacular I can recall off the top of my head.

As far as the worst conversion from game to movie, I would say it's a 3-way tie between Doom, Wing Commander, and Street Fighter.

Looks like this was filmed in and around Austin, TX

The movie starts, "Sweet Emotion"'s playing in the background,
kids are smoking weed with Slater, man he's such a class clown,
all the cars are full of beer, Bacardi and liquor,
because tonight there is a giant house party at Pickford's,
it's the last day of school, Slater is trippin,
Tony had a weird dream and tells Mike he should listen,
in his dream he had a naked girl her boobies were decent,
but then the naked body's head belonged to Abraham Lincoln, whoa,
Don gives Randal Pink a pledge sheet for football that says
he can't do drugs while Benny's making a paddle,
Jodi begs the guys to not hurt her brother Mitch Kramer
but they still plan to, damn they're such assholes,
they breaking it down, for the football coach, "You have to use a substance?
Randal Pink you better be giving yourself an attitude adjustment,"
so they drive up to the middle school to make a big announcement
Mitchy Mitchty Mitchy do not run don't think about it
Mitch asks the teacher if they can escape through the back
"50 going on a mission, 25 aint coming back,"
school is over but they're gettng chased like fuck it lets be out,
Carl's mom pulls out a gun "but miss there's ruffians about,"
("AIRRAID YOU FRESHMEN BITCHES!!!!")
they're smoking weed in Pickford's room,
the beer man brought the kegs too soon,
the party's canceled, ruining the plans that were in store,
cuz if you go to Pickford's house and knock his dad answers the door,
Hitch is at his game hes pitchin and hes terrified
oh holy shit he looks up in the bleachers and right theres the guys
they catch him and the bend him over beat him til his fanny's pink
now he can hardly walk and so he gets a ride from Randy Pink,
they pick him up later like he's a foolish little kid
"you got a joint?" "no i do not," "well it'd be cooler if you did"
alright alright alright, theres Wooderson hes such a crazy fool
they go to the emporium to meet some girls and play some pool
you leave the dance, you can't come back
but fuck it those kids didn't care
they wanna walk around a bit but Herschfelder was "gettin there"
now they're gettin chased and they get licked by O'Bannon
wee wee wee squeeal like a pig oh my god they cannot stand him
now they're breakin mailboxes with cans that's meant for trash
get a gun pulled on em fuck this old man Pickford hit the gas
they get revenge on Obannon,with hardy laughter dude scours,
Wooderson plotted a beerbust, awesome party at the moon tower!
president George Washington was not a homosapien
ain't you ever heard that song? the presidents were aliens
Mitch and Julie hit it off, theyre prolly gonna get it on,
the beer is flowin nicely then abruptly everything went wrong

dominant alpha male mothafucker you fuckin disgust me i hate your guts,

For a fellow with such a legendary palette for films, I don't think there is ONE movie on this list that passes as 'art.' And one might say that he is not naming the top 20 art film of the last 15 years or whatever. Fine. But he sure talks about these crapsters like they are works of art.
Whatevs. Jackie Brown is still an amazing movie.


I gotta say that tarentino for me burnt out in what, 1998? Starting with kill bill, he's released the most awful garbage. For someone whose first few films blew me away so much and was so ubiquitous during my childhood, i cannot believe the garbage this man is currently spewing forth in the form of films. And i loved all the standard ones - pulp fiction, reservoir dogs, jackie brown, etc.

A lot of people say "His films are tribute to <these> kinds of films! You just don't get it!" -- To that i say, well fair enough, but i've seen a few of those types of films and i enjoyed watching them. I didn't enjoy watching this film. If it's a tribute to a style of film it still has to be a good film.

There's a lot of fan boys for tarentino and m night shiteamalan. You can't just make an utter shit movie and say "it's a tribute to shit movies" ala "The Happening", you have to make it a good movie. Otherwise you could say every shit movie ever made is a tribute to shit movies.

And it's a crime to criticise these movies now. Criticise kill bill, the happening, those 2 grindhouse shitpiles, or inglorious basterds and you get laughed at: "LOL YOU DON'T GET IT LOL IT'S INTENTIONALLY SHIT"

Oh right, that makes it good then yeah!? I mean seriously, write me a list of all the movies that are unintentionally shit so that i can criticise them without embarassing myself, and leave all the intentionally shit movies alone or more likely laud them.

Ok, since were all tossing in hummingbird stories, here's mine: Years ago I was working at a visitor information center in San Diego. There used to be a snack bar, and we had a wall of glass panes that surrounded the patio tables and protected customers from the wind which blew off the bay. Part of my job at the time was to clean these glass windows as they'd get hit with seagull shit from time to time.

Anyway, one morning I'm cleaning the glass and I find an "impact print" on one of the windows. I look down and find a dead hummingbird. Upon closer inspection, I find another hummingbird which was very much alive, but dazed and confused. I'm assuming they were flitting along and never knew what hit them. Me and my manager rescued the live one, and eventually nursed it back to health by using a Hi-C Fruit Punch juice box. We basically made an impromptu bird feeder by dipping the straw and then plugging it, therefore capturing the liquid in the straw and letting the hummingbird nurse from it. It's tongue would shoot straight out and up into the straw, repeatedly; reminded me of a tattoo gun or sewing machine.

At one point, the hummingbird was perched on my finger for about 5 minutes and I'll never forget it. How tiny it was, and how iridescent it's feathers were. You know those paint jobs where the light changes the color depending on your perspective? Well, those don't hold a candle to that hummingbird's coat. Truly beautiful in every sense of the word.

He eventually built up enough strength and about 2 hours later, we set him free.

I'm not fond of the negative turn, but it was kinda inevitable, especially when McCain's at 90% negative ads now.

I don't think Obama said he would never "feed into the attack ad fad", he said he wanted it to be a respectful campaign -- McCain ended that possibility several weeks ago, and Obama's chastised him for "feeding into the attack ad fad".

IMO, he's been slow in returning fire, and still isn't anywhere near as negative about McCain as McCain is about Obama.

Obama, for example, is still basing his negative ads at least partially on McCain's actual policies, and is trying to include a positive message about his own policies. McCain on the other hand isn't talking about policy at all, and when he is, he just flat out makes shit up.

Obama should just slap a campaign logo on this, this, or this and call it a day.

He may yet still, because it's only going to get more nasty from here.
