elfs | An observation on video games to movies!

Omaha and I went out last night and had a lovely time. Watched The Dark Knight, which was pretty good up until the end speech. While we were at the restaurant, I mentioned that a trailer for the movie Tr2n is out. I said that it looked okay but I thought the video game, Tron 2.0 (which I thought was much better an an "interactive movie" than as a video game) was also a better sequel to Tron than any movie could have been. (I'm disappointed that the game got Bruce Boxleitner to replay Tron, but failed to get Jeff Bridges to play Flynn again).

No, really. Three-D video games have long fought the fact that getting things to look realistic and organic is hard. Tron 2.0 was therefor perfect: everything looked computer generated!

Omaha said, "Yeah, it would have been cool if they'd based the movie on the game."

I said, "Nah, it had better not be. Isn't there some law somewhere that says that if you make a movie based on a video game, Uwe Boll has to direct it?"
