Can't be any worse than "Employee of the Month"

How many wolves have to die... before someone realizes this is a bad idea?

How many?!?

"The SIMS has done an interactive version of an old story, which is what it's like to have infinite power and how do you deal with it," said Humble. "Given that that's an old story, you can imagine how easily that would translate to traditional story telling."


No. No I can't imagine. Explain yourself.

what's next, 20th century fox presents Tetris:the movie?

They could always make it an epic horror movie where people are terrorized by floating green diamonds that command them to grill hamburgers in their living room for days until their house burns down.

Stranger than Fiction w/ Will Ferrell is the closest thing to a Sims movie, I think.

Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers! duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It's already started rainin ducks and blood nex

Enjoy that with your morning latte, bitches.

@ jonnywrigs- i was searching all over the post for the donnie darko reference and couldn't find it, then i scrolled up and saw it. at first i thought you meant cellar. i love that movie. also you avatar is chock full of %100 grade A win.

@ the post- worst/greatest idea ever. first, how the hell do you make a movie based on the sims? why not just make a reality movie where they just follow a family around and edit it to make some resemblence of a story and plot. it's the greatest idea ever cuz people will still go see it to see how they do it, and or just laugh at the sheer stupidity of the idea. the sad thing is people go see shitty movies to laugh at the shittiness and thats why they keep making them. they laugh at you saying why the hell make this crap and then go watch it, and they laugh at you cuz they still got your money. if people stop seeing shitty movies just for the crap factor and they don't make money, they wont make such crap movies.

why don't they make movies about interesting games with stories? why did fox pick this up and not halo?

i played the first sims game for about 5 minutes before i realized it was boring to play real life when i can just live it. seriously... who is buying these damn games? i think EA might be buying them all and dumping them in a ditch a la ET on atari just to boost sales. they are demonic like that.

well, they did make an animal crossing game, and that's almost as bizarre. of course, it was an anime, and we all know all anime is shit.


i was just kidding about that anime part.
only most of it is shit.

@ EternalDarkWing: "Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion."

@snaileb

If I change my position, even for Trigun, then that means I gotta let shit in like Maison Ikkoku, Dragonball Z, Naruto, or Magical Nyan-nyan Taruto. And trust me. The less you ever see of Nyan-nyan Taruto, the better. It's like having testosterone drained out of your body to be replaced by hot Dell dude on Dell tech support action.

OK here is where I get ballistically angry at the idiots who run movie studios.

GAMES are meant to be PLAYED. the appeal of GAMES has to do with the fact the user CONTROLS THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME. While certain genres do, in fact, have stories, and the story is PART of the appeal, by and large the STORIES IN GAMES ARE THROWAWAY ELEMENTS. (with like a said, a *few* exceptions.) now, THE SIMS is the DEFINITION OF USER CREATED "sandbox" games. IE THERE IS NO PLOT. basically

HOW THE FUCK COULD ANYONE POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A MOVIE

snaileb
you got
doggy poo?

my twin sister wants some sailor moon dvds. you got the lesbo episodes?

Nothing is as good as Ranma 1/2. Nothing.

wasn't there this really mainstream anime about homeless people who try to take care of a baby, and one of the homeless people is a tranie?

Tokyo Grandfathers? Was that it?

Dunno, I tend to shy away from transexual entertainments.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0851578/ you guys should check out this movie, it was just released. it's like Akira meets Spirited Away

it was "Tokyo Godfathers" FYI. I only watch entertainment with trannies. trannies in it, and trannies all around me. tends to make me look macho in comparison

Funny how this thread led to Anime.

I was going to buy Tokyo Godfathers. Instead I bought a Mario energy drink.

=\

also trannies.


I will continue to double post until they invoke an edit button. this kind of genius doesn't happen all at once

I racked my brain trying to come up with a joke about a film based on the sims, but nothing I could come up with could match the absurdity of it actually happening. It is a hard time to be a satirist.

In regards to anime, FLCL and koi kaze uber alles, with an honourable mention for vampire hunted d: bloodlust. Used to watch a lot of anime back in the day, then stopped for a few years, only started again recently. It's amazing how overrated 90% of popular anime actually is. That said, trigun does kick major ass.
