Wil5on do you just copy and paste from one forum to another?
This is inevitable when people like you post the same poll on different forums...

Yeah, I totally agree with that. I went to see Oceans 12 the other night, and one of the previews before the movie starred Brad Pitt. I really think that exemplifies what you're talking about. Brad Pitt in Oceans 12 was a completely different person from the guy in whatever movie was being plugged. And it's slight, but still jarring. It's almost like they're breaking the fourth wall in a sense. They stop being people in a situation, and start being people acting in a situation, which pretty much kills the whole feel of the movie. Mabye I'm just weird though. [addsig]

There is nothing wrong with Ben Stiller, Orph. You seem to have some weird fixation on hating him with little evidence.
You're implying he's only acted in movies and done nothing more.

OK, are you suggestion that in order for me to brand him incompetent that i either have to have a working knowledge of acting, or know Mr. stiller personally?
afterall, i have see just about every film he has made, and as
such, i was under the impression that, that was all it took to voice an
opinion on a movie, since you set the standards on opinionated
expression of movie quality. i was also under the impression that you
have only "viewed" movies as well, i did not catch the part where you
took direction lessons 101 
other than watching his movies what else do i need to to qualify a well versed opinion of his abilities?
bottomline, he stinks.. he is riding the wave that his mom and dad laid down for him. i am not saying that they are world class actors either, but they do very well within their character classes.. they do mom and pop films very well indeed.
please explain how i can gain enough esteem to know his place in the acting world.

then, you didn't need to comment at all. well yeah you can of course, but you could have been clearer and stated that your comments had no relevance about the subject matter at all, and we could have avoided this process of "tit-for-tat"

I don't think that Charlie Sheen would make a good Dr Freeman. There, are you satisfied?
As for the DooM movie, I heard it was going to be on the moon, not on Mars, and there would be aliens, not hellspawn. This doesn't make sense because in the computer game you have to literally go to hell and back to stop the invasion. With the aliens they'd have to completely rewrite the whole storyline, and then it wouldn't be DooM... I think people who try to make movies out of computer games are all insane. [addsig]

Then If the movie is going to be like that its shouldn't even be called Doom. All hollywood is doing is making their own s**tty movie and tagging on the name Doom to get all the gamers to come and watch the suckfest. Then we all cry and weep on each other shoulders. Then Orph and Crono make sweet love and everythings back to normal again.

Sorry to inform you,
but I read in an issue of PCGame, an article on games to movies, that...
[addsig]The rights to make a movie based on Half-Life may have already been purchased. I've forgotten which issue so don't ask. For the UK version, though, I don't know if it is in that issue.

I would certainly enjoy seeing Edward Norton as Freeman, I like his
style and he has that satirical and cynical feel to his performances
which is kind of the tone I get when playing HL.

I'm not going to dignify that with a proper response.
You're implying Doom already had a good story or even a general plot
Gorb, the more I think about it the more it seems to fit
Honestly, if they got a good screenwriter and director for an HL movie (and didn't let the producers make editorial decisions), I'd be down with it.
