Doom Movie Pushed Back to October
I know you're all waiting with breathless anticipation for the Doom film, but GamesIndustry.biz has word that you'll have to wait until October for the U.S. release. From the article: "The film was formerly expected to appear in late June in North America, but Universal's website confirms a report on horror movie website Bloody-Disgusting.com that it has swapped places with George Romero's next zombie movie, Land of the Dead."
I lost it in among all the whining about how the movie won't involve a link between Mars and Hell and therefore the plot just won't make any sense
Nobody said the plot wouldn't make sense. The reason people are whining is that the plot appears to have absolutely fuck all to do with Doom.
Just as many were expecting, the movie quality is probably _not that good_ (to say it in kind words) so is being pushed back to avoid interference with the sales of Doom3 products right now, at e3 and during the summer. Also to have a little bit more of a chance as a "halloween" season movie (when crappy horror movies are released).
Whatever the case, this is a good sign to avoid this movie like ebola, wait for the dvd to be released and rent it in blockbuster (which will probably be a few weeks after theatrical release)
Seriously guys what did you expect? is a low budget film (most of the budget was expent in fx) barely associated to a hit videogame and was made in what? 1- 1 1/2 years? expect the review in www.somethingawful.com instead of an oscar nomination.
Go ahead MOD my day!

like that Final Fantasy movie which had nothing to do with Final Fantasy.
How many FF games did you play? Did you notice that most of them had no continuity from one to the next? Sure, there was the occasional running gag, such as Chocobos or Sid, but no plot continuity.

I swear, I must be the only person on this planet who likes the Mario Brothers movie.
