the only actor i recognized from the doom cast list is a kid from the syfy show dominion, a spinoff series based on legion, a film starring Paul Bettany as a rogue angel protecting a trailer trash baby from God's army at a gas station in the desert.

It's fun they've made two Doom movies, where the plot is as thin as it possibly can be so as not to infringe on the gameplay; but Half-Life, which was basically a cinematic retelling of Doom with the serial numbers filed off, has none.

Yeah the issue is that video games frequently just don't support the kind of pacing and narrative for a film. There are exceptions but they're kind of few and far between. Also the first Doom movie I swear i heard/read someone suggest that a lot of that was probably a setup for a completely different sci-fi movie that never got greenlit that1 they repurposed and changed up some details to turn it into a Doom movie, hence why they excised hell almost entirely and only very loosely alluded to it with some "evil gene" theming or whatever.

The Doom movie is a good fun b-movie with the Rock and Eomer from Lord of the Rings blowing up demons, but no hell they are the demons, and then Rock was a zombie.

How come DOOM is treated as some Satanist propaganda, when it involves one of God's own soldiers--a red blooded MARINE--slaying the wretched minions of Satan wholesale, but it's alright for some lunatic to write sixteen thousand pages of fan fiction about the people who were too heavy with sin to float to Heaven (LEFT BEHIND) and we're A-OK with Kirk Cameron squinting into a camera for an intolerable amount of time, and THEN THE SAME EXACT STORY BEING TOLD ONCE MORE, only now with Nicholas Cage looking permanently befuddled and sinful??

Doom movie can be good, but only if someone who knows how to make a good action movie says "Hey, I want to make a good action movie that borrows the plot of Doom." In and of itself, it "wouldn't make a good movie". But you can make a good movie about pretty much anything if you know what you're doing.

But the movie had a budget of about $25 million and pulled in $40 million at the box office, so it didn't bomb. It just wasn't super big. Makes sense they'd move something like that to a TV series because it's clearly got enough of an audience, and TV series don't cost that much to make on Syfy.

That Doom movie is going to be worse than the one w The Rock. Anyway, one of the only things that slightly disappointed me about Doom 2016 was the lack of blasphemous Christian iconography. In old Doom there were crucified bodies and upside down crosses, direct references to the bible in level names, in addition to just the lakes of fire and pentagrams. Being subversive was one of the appeals of old Doom, and new Doom lacks that.

Upside down crosses are super christian, Peter who is the first of the popes in both eastern and western branches of the faith requested to be crucified as such since he did not want to be crucified in the same way as his god.

They absolutely wont respect Doom despite it basically being a story about digging deep, looking at the horror around you, and saying "Not Today, Satan!" with nothing to protect you but your righteousness.

I've actually got a plan for a Half-Life film adaptation and it involves casting Willem Dafoe as Gordon Freeman and a 75-year-old Stellan Skarsgard as the G-Man, but Skarsgard won't be 75 for another 8 years and by that point Dafoe will be in his 70's.

The old joke (that I'm surprised nobody's brought up) about Event Horizon being the real Doom movie shows, I think, that you could make a good (read: entertaining, enjoyable) sci-fi horror flick set in the Doom universe. I think that would be the way to go, rather than trying to make a film version of the Doom games themselves.

Yeah I think the only non-Doomy thing about Event Horizon is that the demons involved don't seem to be the kind you can just shoot with a shotgun.

Doomguy removes his helmet and gently places it on the top shelf of the armoire. He then procures a single envelope and fountain pen from behind the chest-plate of his marine battle armor. Pulling a slip of paper from the envelope, he sits down at the mahogany french desk and begins writing. [Static shot of letter, already written] Luke Wilson narrating: Dear Cyberdemon, Hello. I could not help but notice that you seem to be huge. I apologize if my line of thinking appears to follow a fallacy of logic, but my understanding is that your huge size may indicate that you also have huge guts. Do you have huge guts? Excuse me for being forward, but I would appreciate it if you would allow me to rip & tear your guts. May I rip & tear your guts? Sincerely, Doomguy [Individual shots of objects, cutting between the letter; the envelope; a lit candle; a letter stamp; a window; a flaming skull, screaming] Doomguy carefully folds the letter and places it in the envelope. He reaches for a candle at the edge of the mahogany french desk, dripping a small mound of wax on the back of the envelope before gently pressing the seal with his UAC insignia letter stamp. Opening the window on the far side of the room, doomguy hands the letter to a passing lost soul. Luke Wilson: "Excuse me, Mr. Lost Soul. Please take this letter to 666 Erebus Mt., and fly swiftly, it is urgent. Thank you." [Side-view montage of the lost soul in front of handpainted erupting volcanos and hell monuments on a rolling backdrop, traveling first by bicycle, then by caco-airlines, then by delivery tuk-tuk to the door of the Unholy Cathedral] [Static panoramic shot of the front of the cathedral, dolly zoom to front door as it opens] The lost soul squawks, handing the letter to Bill Murray, wearing a latex demon suit exposing only the circular area of his face, painted red, a headband with pointy demon horns upon his head. He glances at the letter briefly before softly shaking his head. [Simon & Garfunkle - I am a Rock begins playing] A tuxedo-wearing revenant walks into frame, just behind the Cyberdemon's right shoulder. Bill Murray: "Fetch my coat, Alistaire." He pauses momentarily, looking toward the sky, as though he has forgotten something. He blinks. Bill Murray: "Oh yes, and my rocket arm." The revenant nods. [tempo of the music intensifies, singing "I am alone, gazing from my window at the streets below"]

I've gotten pretty dang far into Eviternity w/ DRLA and it's at the point where the map I'm on is completely unplayable. Death TP at the end of the last level so you start empty-handed and there are rooms with something like 100 lost souls that all come in at one time. The previous few maps have been building up the bullshit, but drat does the maps design make me never want to pick Eviternity up again. Anyone have any newer megawad recommendations that don't overuse death teleports at the end of levels? BaconCopter fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Mar 11, 2019 |
