Thoughts? I used to love Mortal Kombat as a kid, and I feel like I'm going to love this film purely by force of my nostalgia.

Also, I saw "Splice" and "Get Him to the Greek" this week. "Splice" was an interesting idea, but ultimately probably a "bad" movie by anyone's metric. I thought that "Get Him to the Greek" was really worth seeing, though. Now, a lot of the humor was kind of "The Hangover"-y, so if you didn't like that movie this one might not be your cup of tea either. But, the soundtrack for "Get Him to the Greek" is just priceless. About 20 full-length the songs were written and recorded specifically for the movie, and are performed by the actors in-character as the rock stars they play. The songs are hilarious in my opinion, but also very catchy and fun to listen to even ignoring the humor.

Also, I like making topics about several things at once.

I am sad that they seem to have stripped away all of the mystical fantasy stuff from the plot, but holy hell I love Scorpion's character design. I'm probably going to wait until it hits Netflix if I watch it at all, because I'm not a fan of gore-porn on the best of days and this thing looks like it's trying to be the Saw series mixed with MMA fighting.

[Cirtur]

They spelled combart wrong.

[Frostbite]

I won't see it, I agree with Ed. Why strip away all the cool outworld stuff?

My understanding is that this is not a trailer. They do have intentions on a film (IMDb says 2013) but this was more to "test the waters".

In other news they are making a new Mortal Kombat game that is going back to the olden days of Mortal Kombat.

[LordRetard]

I can't think of any good video game movies at a moment's notice so I'll probably just give this a pass as a rule. Mortal Kombat kicks ass for a lot of reasons that I don't think translate well into movies. For instance, the movie cannot be a kick-ass fighting game.

Apparently Prince of Persia is a good movie, but I've yet to see it.

I've heard it is really, really camp.
The trailer makes it seem pretty plotless, too.

[Frostbite]

I don't know. I never played the games. I don't plan on seeing it.

He finds an object that gives him cool powers, but evil can use to destroy everything. Pretty simple.
Still, whitewashing.

[FengharTheNord]

Maaaayynn. I wanna condemned criminal origins movie All those psychopaths and stuff. Now it's all I can think about.

[smiley_cow]

whitewashing.

This seems to be becoming more common these days, doesn't it?

[LordRetard]

Fuck white people. A shower of bastards, that's what they are.

[smiley_cow]

You have to admit, it is a bit odd that a Persian prince would be white.
