  2. Just because it's on the imdb doesn't make it true by Aash · · Score: 5, Informative

    Anyone can submit info to the The Internet Movie Database, and it's rather notorious for posting incorrect information about movies which are still far from release.

    I'm not saying that the casting news at the imdb definitely isn't true, I'm just saying to take it with a grain of salt.

  3. Huh? by TrentL · · Score: 4, Informative

    Chicks got hung on a meathook back in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and that guy was actually after a PG-13 rating.

    That guy (Tobe Hooper) must have been a very forward thinking individual, because the PG-13 rating wouldn't exist for another 10 years.

    Oh really. And can you name a good Vim[sic] Diesel movie except for Pitch Black?

    Perhaps because it has nothing to do with the game?

    On the subject of a movie of the game, Gabe Newell has nixed the idea for the forseeable future.
