DOOM:The Movie

I hate horror movies. Even when they are carefully disguised as an action film.

That being said, I think that the trailer for Doom: The Movie ain't half bad. If the movie just delivers what the trailer advertises then it'll be fine.

I still won't go see it though. Something about paying folks to scare me seems unreasonable.

Speaking of gamer movies, I was just reading about The Gamers and Gamers: Dorkness Rising. Interesting to me, because my local gaming group feels that the D&D movie would have been marginally less painful if there had been some intercutting between the players and their characters.

We can only hope that the SciFi channel won't get the rights and make a low-budget sequel called Children of Doom.

Some of the most dreaded words ever heard are:

"Sci Fi Original Movie"

*shudder*

I'll have to see if I can get a hold of The Gamers though. Sounds very amusing.

Yeah, the Gamers is a great in-joke for anyone who has done the standard college gaming scenes (like, Daven's old game, if you recall...).

http://www.the-gamers.com has an online store if you want to get the DVD's (it's too off-beat to expect it at a blockbuster or something) for "The Gamers" or "Demon Hunters: Dead Camper Lake" (another movie by the same group). Have to wait for "Gamers: Dorkness Rising" though ... not out yet.

ROTFLMAO!

So true...So true...Yet I keep falling for them.
