I havn't seen the 'Alone in the Dark' movie. Has it something to do with the game? Is it worth seeing?
I just went to see "Children of Men" which is really good. It has neither super naturals, nor magic or even a big conspiracy but draws a very frightening picture of the near futur. It makes the Cyberpunk world look like Euro Disney.
It is definitly worth watching and it is very, very evil.

I think it deliberately leaves some things unexplained i.e. how do the decaying aliens turn the car into a spaceship at the end. Some things we're just not meant to know.Zvezda wrote:Just have seen 'Repro Man'! Hell that was a tough 80s movie...very strange. Very very strange. I did not get all of it I must admit. But it was cool in a special way.
If you can find it the bowdlerized BBC version is worth watching because it contains some extra scenes and it's quite funny, albeit for the wrong reasons: All of the profanities are overdubbed (apparently by the original cast) with expressions that are supposedly less offensive. The Rodriguez brothers get called "Melon Farmers" a lot. Arguably more insulting that than the original epithet given that they're Hispanic?

Yes, one of the reasons I like it was because I was into a lot of the US punk bands on the soundtrack (Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies). Apparently the repo men are all named after American beers but I didn't realise that at the time. I'm British and have never been a great one for lager, although you can certainly get Bud and Miller over here if you're so minded.Zvezda wrote:It was difficult to get this version! It was not a bad film. Not at all. I really liked it. It was VERY punk rock. But strange. The Rodriguez brothers are pretty cool characters anyways. Ohh...where all the repo men named after beers? Bud...Miller...Lite?
Slightly off topic, but when I visited Las Vegas last year a lot of stores had an imported beer section and the only UK brew they stocked was Newcastle Brown which is evil stuff. Sink a few of those and expect to spend the next morning on the toilet.

Naturally you good people will already know about this but I just thought I ought to drop this link into this thread.

Hello!
First time poster here, but a longtime player and GM of Dark Conspiracy, and I nominate three movies.
-Deep Rising: big guns, massive monster, and great one-liners
-The Hidden: more guns and monsters (and I even based one of my greatest DC adventures on it)
-Hostel (it's run by the Dark Elves!)
