Well I was searching for a game whilst discussing bad taste, exploitation and sexism in the gaming industry, and remembered a title that was using the fact that one of its main characters was a lesbian as a selling point and the gaming press were lapping it up. Anyway, the game is fear effect which i've never played... but when i found the ign entry, I got that feeling, you know the one, like the feeling something extraordinarly bad is going to happen for some reason... then i noticed a name out of the corner of my eye that triggered it, anyway here's a quote that had me in stitches:

Yeah, absolutely! The point is, what we need is more support for these kinds of movies if they want to get bigger and better movies made out of videogames. They shouldn't talk the movies dead before they even get a release? One guy on awful.com or whatever the home page name is, he wrote that I was there. He wrote [that] I was at the test screening and talked to the people? I'm in Romania shooting BloodRayne! I don't fly to LA for 10 hours and then go back. This is another point where I really thought about, 'What the f**k is this guy writing here?!? It was also a little funny to be honest. It's just all that stuff. [Loud exhale] I just have it in front of me, general comments from the Alone in the Dark [test screening comment cards]: "Just like Resident Evil except Alone is better," "It's a guy movie, it's a great movie, the best part was the ending," "Definitely fun," "It's fun to go to see," "The end with all the killings was a bit too long..." (Laughs) And "Good popcorn movie," "Great! I almost jumped out of my seat during several scenes?" "I think that the monsters are very good, but the zombie people were really cool?" "Laughs and suspense, but I'm not a big fan of guts and gore..." (Laughs) "The monsters are too funny," one guy says. "There are many parts of the movie that make you think?" "If you like sci-fi movies, this is the one to see?" Christian Slater got the best response. A lot of people said, 'This is definitely a comeback movie from Christian Slater, he's so great.' If the movie is so sh***y, what the guy is writing [on the website], then why are the people saying something different, this is the point? I'm really pissed about it, still? If there's only that crap out on these Web pages, then everybody is talking about only that thing. It's pissing me off? |

Guess who the quotes from
Absolutely amazing that he has no idea how f*cking terrible his movies are... truely amazing. Do you think Ed Wood Jr was more aware of his total lack of understanding of the concept of a movie? I get the feeling Ed Wood knew better, even if he couldn't do better.
I want to know who these mystical people who wrote those comments are, no wonder hollywood is so fucked up and so many films suck as if these are the people watching the screeners. WTF?
Amazing.
