Finally something NOT MvC-related

[its_game_time]

From Graham Stark of Escapist News Network:

W.S. Anderson, director of the Resident Evil movies - and the guy that somehow convinced Milla Jovovich to marry him - said 'to make a movie based on a game without having played the game is disrespectful to both the creators and the players.' ..Wait, does this mean he's actually PLAYED Resident Evil? ...I think that makes it even WORSE if possible.

...IIIIIII don't even know what to think of that possibility. :| And then, my sisters after they read it:

Ash: "...You know, if he HAS played any of the games, that just makes it so much worse. Because rather than screwing up the characters because he didn't know them, instead, it's that he DID know them--he just didn't care."
Me: "...Ouch. :\ This is true."
Ash: "He would have KNOWN Jill was strong and independent, but then still made her like that."
Me: .../SKEPTICFAIS
Day: "He's like... a bad fanfiction writer."
Me: "In that he doesn't know what the frik he's doing?"
Day: "No, in that he KNOWS how they should be, but he COMPLETELY THROWS AWAY THEIR PERSONALITIES for his own enjoyment."
Me: "...In order to favor his Mary-Sue!"
Day: "Exactly!"

Ahaha there's no way I'm believing the guy actually played any of the games, but if he has, then congratulations, Anderson, you've lost even more of my nonexistent respect. And I was sure that wasn't possible.

I saw that the Prince of Persia movie was on Netflix and I'm partially tempted to watch it so I can fully tear it apart, too, but... 8\ IDK. As my favorite game series, I'm not sure I wanna have the impression of that crap. Plus, ever since it hit theaters, Mom's made it clear she's convinced that I SEEKRITLY LIKE IT and want to see it, and thought the whole time it was out that I'd give in and go see it. B| Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah. No. But she also thought I SEEKRITLY LIKED AFTERLIFE, which. Please, Mom. Have you not come to know me at all in the last twenty-two years? Wut.

PERSONALLY I didn't actually mind the Prince of Persia film too much. They certainly didn't mangle the characters or anything like the RE films did :T It feels inspired by the games but not like it's picking and choosing what it wants. Idk, I found it okay.

Oh? Good to know. A friend of mine saw it and told me about it, and while I'd gathered that it definitely wasn't the worst thing around, a lot of it still sounded cheesy and meh. /lol SO ANAL

I'm totally just gonna. ....leave this here.

Anderson and Milla both have stated that they've played the Resident Evil games. In fact, he played through RE5 which was his inspiration to come back to the RE movie franchise and direct the fourth movie.

They said this at comic con this last year. :< I was there for it.

...

Well, it's a good thing I have little faith in humanity to begin with. ...I guess.

I DON'T MEAN TO BREAK YOUR HEART.

Though, Wentworth played the games after he got cast. I gleed.

...I could listen to him talk to me for days. ngl

IT'S OKAY IT HAPPENS EVERY OTHER DAY I THINK.

Ahaha see, I respect him and Guillory for TRYING and actually playing the games, but that still couldn't save their characters when Anderson was behind them going "OKAY YOU IS STUPID AND INCOMPETENT AND YOU IS A CREEPER :DDD" B|

XD Yes, well. He was one guy I didn't mind looking at for the duration of the movie. Just saying.

I got to talk to him at Comic Con during the Afterlife panel. I asked him now that he's played the games, what was he incorporating into Chris' personality for his version of Chris Redfield.

;A; He kind of gave me faith that he could play him well. I gleed.

Ahaha luckyyyyy XD

I don't deny the sexy.

I rarely do.

That man makes me so freaking angry, it isn't even funny. I seriously doubt he's ever even touched a RE game. If he did, you'd think he would have made the characters in the movies a little more true to the personalities that we actually know they have. Ugh. It frustrates me to even think about that man and what he did to my favourite franchise. Le sigh.
