Dtoid Movie Night: Wing Commander photo

Here on Destructoid we love us some terrible gaming movies. When will they stop making them? Never. And we've made it our goal to watch every single one of them. Last week it was Mortal Kombat II, this week it's Wing Commander. I don't dare watch it, I'm just reporting the facts: It's terrible and it starts at 10 P.M. eastern standard time, just like every Dtoid Movie Night.

Want to join us in making fun of it? Awesome, first download Ventrilo, then gank the login info here in our forum. Install Ventrilo, make an account, grab some food, login, and you'll see about twenty of us talking in various audio chat rooms. Just wander around until someone helps you with your settings, and then we'll all start watching the movie together at 10 P.M., so try to get there a little early.

If you've got any extra questions, feel free to ask them here in the comments. Everyone's got to be a noob at Ventrilo at one time or another, don't be afraid to demand more details and get it out of the way now so you can be part of all the Dtoid Movie Nights in the future. Next Tuesday we're watching Double Dragon, so mark it on your Nerdcore calendar in the most NSFW place you can think of.

Oh, stop it. "Wing Commander" wasn't THAT bad. I'll take WC over a bunch of other sci-fi movies that scream "Cheese!!" It came out during the high expectations for "Star Wars: Ep 1" -- no comments, folks. This was BEFORE SW:Ep 1 came out, so we had no idea how bad it was -- and I think it filled the gap in pretty well.

My only gripes are the ships and the Kilrathi. In the game the Raptor was a very smooth and sleek looking ship. In the movie it looked like a hideous Gatling gun with wings. The Kilrathi were supposed to be a feline race. Those things in the movie didn't even look like cats! (Where the hell was Hobbes?!)

But the movie definitely had one very redeeming quality -- Saffron Burrows! ;)

I'm confused is this just people starting the movie on their tvs at the same time and talking about it or can you all watch the same movie in ventrillo cause I don't have any of thee movies.

JuanoTejano - that's how it's done, except instead of watching the movies on your tv, we provide you with the movie online for free. we all start watching it on our pc's at the same time, and have ventrilo minimized the whole time, but can still press a key on the keyboard to talk into the microphone.

Hey...I just got an awesome idea. How about Dtoid revive mystery science 3000?, lol. This would be a perfect opportunity to make fun of some really bad movies, MS3K style!
