The Melodrama Scale reads 9.6
It has been brought to my attention by the lovely Gelly Reeve (who obviously knows me far too well [after sending me the link, she exclaimed textually, "FUCK ME IN THE ASS, I KNOW RIGHT??!"]) that one of my favorite games of all time, very possibly my all-time favorite, is being turned into a movie.
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is set to release in 2008.
And I am feeling slightly horrified.
"But Liz!", you might say, "You're a huge dork! Video games turned into movies should be your thing."
You don't understand.
Don't get me wrong, it has potential to be bitchin'. Not much hope of the fantastic plot of the game translating to film, but still, it could be really fucking entertaining. Who doesn't love sword slashing and undead sand zombies?? Sounds like a rip-roarin' good time to me. Some movies are just meant to be really cool and nothing much else. But like I said, the game has a great plot, a story mostly unmatched by modern video games, and it'd be a shame for it to be sullied by a movie.
"Oh Liz, have faith! They could do it justice!" you might say.
SHUT UP, YOU, YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
*Cringe* Michael Bay is set to direct it.
Yes. That is the sound of one thousand screeching, soulless hell-beasts you hear right now.
I'm so horrified by the very idea. I mean, there's a damned good reason that Trey Parker used the lyrics Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies? I guess Pearl Harbor sucked, just a little bit more than I miss you
IT'S BECAUSE MICHAEL BAY IS A TALENTLESS, BRAIN-FUCK HACK.
You know who could probably do a cool job with it? Zack Snyder. Yeah. Probably wouldn't do great with the plot either, but at least he'd make it look fucking spectacular.
But why, god? Why Michael Bay??
WHAT'S NEXT??! KINGDOM HEARTS SET TO BE DIRECTED BY...
By...
Oh god, I can't even think of someone as bad as Michael Bay to make my point with.
My head hurts from all this conflicting information. I... I just don't... I don't know what to believe anymore.
