None.
Games are meant for interactive entertainment.
Movies are meant for mindless entertainment.
The two should not be combined, otherwise you end up with mindless mockery of interactive entertainment.

| I agree with CC. Any movies based on games (Tomb Raider) and any games based on movies (Independence Day) all suck. With the exception of Super Mario....that movie was awesome. |

I also agree with AlienCC, but I also believe there are some exeptions.
I'd say FF1, Doom1, Unreal Tournament, Morrowind, and Baldurs Gate (1 and/or 2) would make nice material for movies.

They made final fantasy, I didnt think it was very good though.

Heard of it. Never seen/played it.

That's not what he means. In my opinion, sometimes the best movies are the ones that don't make you think (mindless entertainment). But you are right Robin, sometimes that gets old and you want to watch something a little more in-depth. |

I won't watch a movie if I don't think it looks like it will be good, however since I use my brain 99% of the time I am awake, it is nice to have a break from thinking once in a while.
What they need to do is make more movies based on comic books, those are typically good.

People have diferent reasons for watching movies. Some movies (like the miniseries Rabbits) require you to think. Some (Pick almost any Hollywood movie ) don't. Neither is really better, however I like movies that make you think. |

| The problem with most video games is that they are just too long for a movie. FF7 would be great, but there's no way they could make it into one movie. |

| OOOOHHHHH, such a good movie. Saw it yesterday. Awesome. Yeah there are a bunch of ways to connect it to the Bible. You can also connect it to World War II. |

i noticed absolutely no allusions to the bible or christianity at any point during that movie. anything that appear that way was mearly coincedence and likely only picked upon by little kids and mental patients. why does everything have to connect back to the bible? tolkein wrote those books because he is a linguist and wanted a reason to create a new language.
as for world war 2, i can see how you cold compare the movie to it. rohan could be the the us and mines tirah could represent europe in its struggle against a large overpowering force. i will stop now as i dont want to ruin the movie for the losers that havent seen it yet.

I know he wrote the books because he wanted to make his own languages.
Quote: why does everything have to connect back to the bible?
It doesnt, but the Bible created just about every modern-day archetype and is the largest influence on life and our ideas of heros, battles, victory, truth, etc. Because of this it can be seen in just about every modern work.

<offtopic> in the society that we live in the bible is playing a far less significant role. post modernism have brought many eastern philosphys the forefront and although post modernism hasnt completely taken hold of the U.S. yet it will in the next generation of offspring, your kids if you ever have any. within 50 years christianity will not be the dominant religion anymore and the age then will be far different than now...they will be governed by a far different set of moral laws than now and most will not care. its not a downward turn thougn, its just the next step in humanitys understanding of religion. </offtopic>

Im not saying the Bible is the main guiding light for the modern world. I'm just saying that most of the morals that people value today originated from the Bible. Even if you disagree with the Bible, it probably impacts your daily life. I'd say about 50% of our laws, symbols, idea of right and wrong, stories, and basic beliefs have been impacted by the Bible.
Post modernism lasted from 1950-2000. What you are saying has not taken hold of the U.S. is probably the new wave (post-post-modernism?). I don't think we will be governed by a completely different set of moral laws. Our modern-day law system is part Hammurabi's code (eye for an eye), Christian/Bible morals (turn the other cheek), and part golden rule (love your neighbor as yourself) which can be found in some form in every ancient culture. However you may be right that Christianity/Catholicism will not be the dominate religion in 50 years, despite the fact it encompasses 1/3 of the world population. I think atheist is only 5%, but Islam is quickly growing. |

Most people in our world have no morals and no idea of right or wrong. 50% of 0 = 0, that works. |

And you can connect it to the way you bought your groceries today or pretty much anything, if you want to. But the point is that these movies kick a. |
