Uwe Boll is a cinematic Dr.Kovorkian, you know.

I only go by what others say about Uwe Boll, I personally have never had to watch one of his films. But I generally like bad films (Resident Evil, Bride of Chucky and so on) Maybe I would like his films but they just don't appeal to me.

House of the Dead, I seen a few minutes of it and it was like these monsters climbing on a boat, very odd.

Halo should be an animated film, anyone see the new Final Fantasy film? This one looks beautiful and had a 9.0 on imdb last time I checked. It's got Cloud from FF7 in it for you fanboys out their ha-ha

I want to watch more animated films because they seem to have a better chance of not failing, Resident Evil would have made an awesome animated film. No limits, probably cheaper and a lot more risks would be taken to make it more like the game and entertaining to everyone.

Not to mention that the CG animation that would undoubtedly be used would appeal to the fan boys because it would like watching the game, since the same basic technology is used to make the wonderful, pretty graphics in the games.

Yeah, though I think a lot of film makers stay away from animated films because the general thought by people is animation equals childrens movie so they think it could hurt the product in the long run.

Probably a dumb thing but that could be it, we still have Matt and Trey, they hate working with actors and every few years they make a film.

I think it's a shame that people do think that animation equals kids' movie. So much can be done with the medium and has been done for that matter. After all, most of the Star Wars movies was animated. If properly marketed and produced, the product can stand on its own. But I know producers are leery of trying anything new.

Yes, we have Matt and Trey but do you really want them to do Halo?

Eric Cartmen could be Master Chief but how would he fit in the suit? Hmm... That's a thought but I won't say anymore because somebody might actually get an idea and think about writing South Park mixed with Halo ha-ha.

Though maybe they couldn't do Halo, they could do more than 1 film every couple years. They can write really well in such a short time and animate them as well so I doubt they'd have much trouble making more films if they wanted.

This new Final Fantasy film looks really promising so let's cross our collective fingers, it's already out in some places I believe but not in North America.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children it's got a 9.1 on imdb and that's saying something. It'll probably go down when it comes to NA but I hope they at least make people in HWood say "Hmm... We need to take this medium and kill it like we did horror."

Sounds like a plan to me...

If the Final Fantasy film does well, we'll probably be inundated with animated video game films pushing Halo right to the top. That's okay. I borrowed the game for a while, but then whle playing it, I realized I never finished my first 007 game for the Cube and went back to it. Haven't gone back to Halo since.

The people at Microsoft are going for an online audience, pay 100 bucks a year and you can have a great time, if not we give you this bland boring single player mission to tide you over till you get with the times.

So, I got online, and now I only buy and sell cars on Forza Motorsport because people cheat on Halo 2.It's ironic but not really, man I really need some better things to do with my time.

I played Halo 2 online with a friend of mine, so we had to go guest. Still, dear Lord, it's insane! I have been playing video games since 1982 and I can't compete. Some of the people on there must do nothing but wait for some poor sap like me to sign on to kick butt on it. Every single time I play, I get stomped!

I don't bother with online gaming. I find that I do too many other things to specialize at one game. I am happy with my one player missions on my Gamecube. I don't believe I'll be needing the Xbox online gaming experience. Of course, I do kinda want to get those Star Wars games that Lucas won't release on the Gamecube...

Yeah, there is a film in the works. Microsoft has indeed confirmed that. I just heard this on CNBC. Who's making it is still unknown, though. But a film is in the works.

Yeah, they announced it, Alex Garland is drafting the script, although a director hasn't been attached.

Well, I have both of the Halo games on Xbox and it is, honestly, so freakin' awesome. FPS-wise, it is beyond awesome. As a movie, it could be utterly cool, man. If done right, that is. As for a director, I'd go with... Sam Mendes or Robert Rodgruiez -- since he has a big thing for CGI stuff, which is cool. Or anyone who's good and knows what they're doing. Hopefully, it don't turn out to be a huge flop....
