    I just hope the marine in the movie gets to use his gun and flashlight at the same time.

    Maybe we should ping the director and make sure he puts the duct tape mod into the movie.

    To get a wider audience of course. The target audience for this kind of movie is the teenage-to-young-adult group, and they'll lose out on a lot of money if they made it R-rated.

    So, 90% of the movie will be pitch black?

    Now put here your jokes about the duct tape mod.

    They have a lot of work to do in order to recreate the atmosphere created in DOOM3. That game made me tense in a way no movie ever has. The only comparable feeling would be while playing System Shock 2.

    Don't forget to bring a flashlight.

    Doom had a plot?

    The plot and setting is right from the game.

    ...but the game didn't really HAVE a plot. It boils down to guy-with-gun-kills-a-bunch-of-evil-things. I have a feeling this should rank way down there with Alien Vs. Predator.
