I'm tentatively hyped for a Warcraft movie. Tentatively.


It's pretty perfect considering what this thread is all about today.

All special effects, minimal story, gogogogogogo

For reference, Duncan Jones also directed Source Code. He's also David Bowie's kid.

At this point I'd wait til it's bundled as the 'old wow' pack just before Emerald Dream releases because the price will drop and it's at the end of the expansion right now(aka worst time to play).

Edit: Heroes of the Storm beta opt-in just went up, go check your bnet accounts sirs.

Edit 2: You want Nostalgia bombs? Metzen talking about motherfuckin Warcraft: Orcs and Humans.

Oh I wasn't paying attention to that announcement, I was just on that train where people said it was going to be Emerald Dream and I believed them.

Go back to books you're not wanted here.


i dont like old movies cause they're basically shitty watered down books

Well, a lot of them were like that, yeah, but there's no way it's even 50%. Comedies basically never, some like it hot or big business or modern times or safety last come to mind. Only high profile adaption I can think of is the philadelphia story and it's not even from a book.

Actually comedies today are much much more likely to be aping a novel because so many of them are basically just modernized jane austen.

It's when you get into the drama that adaptions (and if you saw a movie that was trying to be novelistic, it was an adaptation) start to clog up the works. Some of them turn out well like treasure of the sierra madre or gone with the wind or the big sleep, but for every one of those there's some bullshit like the hustler. So I can buy that argument, sorta-ish, except it's easy to display the tiniest shred of selectively instead of just selecting movies at random, so the relative proportion of shit to money is not that significant.


well i dont really watch comedies so those are out

i confess i have no desire to read or watch gone with the wind the story seems so boring to me lol orz same with the big sleep

for me, books and movies and anime and manga are just about the story, and i think im after a different sort of story when im reading compared to when im watching a movie

like i'd never watch a movie adaptation of anna karenina or crime and punishment cause it'd just feel super boring lol

and the kinds of stories that dominated "older" films all feel boring to me

i'd much rather watch inception than read a book version of inception (god that'd be awful); similar i'd rather read a lot of books than watch a movie adaptation...

So you want stories from books and just blockbusters from movies? That's cool, I can respect that, but that's not really a reason to call movies trash just because it's outside your wheelhouse.


i think movies were a weak medium before the technology improved cause they were basically average stories - not as detailed as a book, not as awesome visually as most modern movies

compromise is shit you gotta go for extremes to achieve anything substantial

its not a preference criticism its an objective criticism of characteristics
