read it and weep

no talent, puss for brains, corperate lap dog Paul WS
Anderson is writing AND Directing this movie. i'm not a big
fan of that game so i don't care as much as i did when he
ruined Resident Evil and AvP respectively...

again seriously, if you live in the UK and seriously see
this guy out in the street or in a pub somwhere, RO-SHAM-BO
him several times...then take a shit on his eye
balls...that'll be equal to what he's done to a few
franchises that could have been way better than he made
them...

I'm still weeping over the fact that the director of The
Tuxedo did Aeon Flux.

Castlevania isn't being treated right. Curse of Darkness
just came out for PS2 and it might be the worst CV ever,
they fixed none of the flaws that made Lament of Innocence
so average and made the game even worse in other areas. And
now Paul Woefully Shitty Anderson is going to tarnish its
legacy even more.

The DS Castlevania looks great though. They're still putting
out superb 2D CVs, at least.

the castlevania series needs more popularity, if konami want
to continue making them at the rate they have so far, and if
it takes a shitty movie to get people to play some of the
new or old games then I'm all for it.

hint: any new videogame or movie that is a new remake of
something awesome and old school is very likely shit only
made to cash in on the popularity of the previous name. This
marketing tactic has become so recurrent as to be annoying
as email spam.

A sad day indeed. A film of Castlevania needs Bruce
Campbell as Simon Belmont, badass CGI throughout, awesome
sets, including a dilapidated clocktower, a load of
Castlevania/Konami fan in-jokes and of course either Sam
Raimi or George Romero directing. It also needs a tie in
videogame to come out at the same time and for that game to
be 2d in gameplay, even if it's 3d graphics (like the new
Ghouls and Ghosts).

the castlevania on DS, Dawn of sorrow is absolutely
fabulous.
I believe it's by far the best game on that little console.
Im having a total blast with it. :P

i hear you on the fact its all cashing in...but don't you
agree that these flicks with maybe a shred of creative
thought and a little work...even remakes could be really
good? resident evil could have been shot realistically...ie
no stupid matrix bullet time shots...character
development...and maybe the first 1000 edits and cuts
wouldn't take place in the first 4 milliseconds of the
movie. i like movies that take time to develop...as well as
the characters. but its like they have to make a retarded
version for younger audiences.

like doom. one of my co-workers... he's 22 and was ranting
and raving about how great the movie doom was. he dupped 2
others into going to see it...me being one of them. i knew
going in it was a steaming piece of shit. apparently me and
only one other person in an audience of 50 thought it was
the funniest thing we'd ever seen...we were ripping on the
movie...and i was fearing the younglings were going to tear
us limb for limb but they just sat there...glued to the
screens.

i hate hollywood

oh yea and fuck CGI
