Silent Hill

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Lol penny arcade :up: *claps* comic genius

[Darthphere]

Nevermind it was 50 million.

[Darthphere]

If a movie has a twist in the last five minutes that completely makes you rethink what you thought about the rest of the movie, it can certainly screw it up. I can think of one movie that did that for me.


This movie really didnt have that though.:confused:

[Johnny Drama]

Okay, that sounds a little bit more acurate.

[Darthphere]

Okay, that sounds a little bit more acurate.


Yeah I lost it for a second.

[Bishop2]

This movie really didnt have that though.:confused:

Well, it sort of did, but not exactly, no. I'm just proposing a scenario in which the last five minutes can kill a movie for me.

[RedIsNotBlue]

I feel like I could definitely see it again...sign of a great film to me personally. I would really love to watch it with my mom shes squeamish as hell. :) And 20 million is not bad at all for a horror movie opening weekend. In the long run it will make a nice profit and I definitely think it will be make a nice chunk on dvd.

[Johnny Drama]

Yeah, it did very well. For it to have done better than it has would be a tad far fetched considering it has so far only been released in the US and it is a horror movie with an "R" rating.

[Colossal Spoons]

It takes a lot for me to wanna watch a movie twice or more. I'll def buy SH but I won't be watching it for a few years. That's how i do with a lot of movies; I watched Constantine for the first time in forever and I loved it all over again.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Haha that is ANOTHER movie that a lot hated and I just love. Everytime it is on HBO now I can't stop from watching it.

[Colossal Spoons]

I love horror/suspense movies with a religious background, so it was right up my alley. I highly recommend Stigmata to everybody too.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Contantine rocked! I dunno why everyone hated it.

[Johnny Drama]

Constatine was mildly entertaining...

[Colossal Spoons]

A lot of the people who hated it are the same ones who bash all of Keanu's movies due to his "mannerisms".

[terry78]

^After Matrix, it was cool to hate Keanu Reeves again, that's why.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Ehhh I tried watching Stigmata didn't get into it. But it is weird I don't believe in neither god or satan yet I am strangely attracted to those kind of movies. Great work of fiction to me I suppose.

[Colossal Spoons]

^After Matrix, it was cool to hate Keanu Reeves again, that's why.

It's because of 'Hardball' right? :(

[RedIsNotBlue]

A lot of the people who hated it are the same ones who bash all of Keanu's movies due to his "mannerisms".

Well his performance in Constantine was only so-so. Some of his lines were just plain wooden and others were awesome. Tilda Swinton and Peter Stormare had the best performances.

[AndThePickles]

I LOVED Constantine...never saw Stigmata, but I'd like to watch it.

[Johnny Drama]

Keanu Reeves' portrayal of Contantine was about as acurate as a free throw by Shaq an hour after getting Lasek eye surgery

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

But the movie as a whole is great fun to watch. Tilda Swinton did indeed kick ass. First time I saw Constantine I though she was a he! :eek:

[Darthphere]

Thats the thing Keanu was nothing like John Constantine, thats why people hated it.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Keanu Reeves' portrayal of Contantine was about as acurate as a free throw by Shaq an hour after getting Lasek eye surgery

Someone need to give him laser eye surgery. He can't spellk write. :p

[LastSunrise1981]

Keanu Reeves' portrayal of Contantine was about as acurate as a free throw by Shaq an hour after getting Lasek eye surgery

Really? He had that smartass way of responding to things that was pure Constantine in my view.

Then again I've always liked Keanu and believe that he's a very, very good actor.

[Colossal Spoons]

Thats the thing Keanu was nothing like John Constantine, thats why people hated it.

Psh, I bet 1/2 the haters have never read the comic.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Thats the thing Keanu was nothing like John Constantine, thats why people hated it.

Yeah but I don't get blaming Keanu. He is not the one that changed the character for the movie.

[Colossal Spoons]

Ehhh I tried watching Stigmata didn't get into it. But it is weird I don't believe in neither god or satan yet I am strangely attracted to those kind of movies. Great work of fiction to me I suppose.

I believe in both, hence my love for the movies. The Order's next on my list.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Anyone *excited* about The Omen? I'm not :o Though the recently release trailer made it look pretty average.

[Colossal Spoons]

I couldn't be more excited for The Omen. The new trailer is effective....yet so simple.

[zer00]

Final Conflict will be better than that pos remake:o

[zer00]

Well his performance in Constantine was only so-so. Some of his lines were just plain wooden and others were awesome. Tilda Swinton and Peter Stormare had the best performances.

V-dub *****es

[Colossal Spoons]

Final Conflict will be better than that pos remake:o

Never heard of it. When's it due out?

[AndThePickles]

Anyone *excited* about The Omen? I'm not :o Though the recently release trailer made it look pretty average.

That trailer freaked me out. Seems like it's going to be a pretty interesting movie; I'm excited about it :)

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I'm not. lol Though Julia Stiles is in it and Liev Schreiber's pretty good (though he stole Naomi Watts...grr :mad: lol)

[AndThePickles]

I'll be honest, so far all I know about it is from the trailer. But that got me excited. :o

[Cmill216]

I'll be honest, so far all I know about it is from the trailer. But that got me excited. :o

Same here. But I was disappointed by the film.

You gotta love trailers. Sometimes they get you excited and you're letdown. Other times they don't get you all that excited, but you see the film and it blows you away.

[Nathan]

Damn, is Silent Hill really that disappointing? :(

[Cmill216]

Damn, is Silent Hill really that disappointing? :(

To many. And not to many.

[AndThePickles]

Same here. But I was disappointed by the film.

You gotta love trailers. Sometimes they get you excited and you're letdown. Other times they don't get you all that excited, but you see the film and it blows you away.

I was referring to everyone's discussion about the Omen, I guess I should have clarified :)

I actually enjoyed Silent Hill, I thought it was pretty good.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

No. It's getting quite a lot of good reviews on IMDb, but then again it's probably the same guy alone in his parent's basement with no girlfriend making millions of accounts.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Damn, is Silent Hill really that disappointing? :(

Just don't expect a certain type of movie and you will likely enjoy it.

[Cmill216]

I was referring to everyone's discussion about the Omen, I guess I should have clarified :)


Oh, sorry. My bad. :D

[Cmill216]

Just don't expect a certain type of movie

Yeah, a good one. ;) :D

[zer00]

Damn, is Silent Hill really that disappointing? :(

Have you...read this thread?

Never heard of it. When's it due out?

....

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Notice ow cmill really the only one saying it's bad? He's just typing and typing. he's the main person syaing it's bad.

It's just his opinion. See it and judge for yourself.

[Master Chief]

I'll be honest, so far all I know about it is from the trailer. But that got me excited. :o

You should watch the original, it's pretty cool. I don't know why they're remaking it.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah. A good one. ;) :D

:confused: Sorry you didn't enjoy but I think that might be one of the reasons people are getting disappointed somewhat. They are getting something different than the typical horror nowadays.

[Cmill216]

Of course it's just my opinion. I've clearly said that I enjoyed several aspects of the film. But go ahead. Dub me the villain. ;)

[zer00]

You should watch the original, it's pretty cool. I don't know why they're remaking it.

We should probobly stop asking ourselves that question:(

[Cmill216]

:confused: Sorry you didn't enjoy but I think that might be one of the reasons people are getting disappointed somewhat. They are getting something different than the typical horror nowadays.

I'm gonna go play some of the older SH games. It's been awhile since I have. Maybe (maybe) it might help me see the film in a new light.

[Master Chief]

We should probobly stop asking ourselves that question:(

But that means they win. :o

Anyways, it's probably just for the 06-06-06 release date.

[zer00]

But that means they win. :o

Anyways, it's probably just for the 06-06-06 release date.

Fox movie channel played The Omen and Final Conflict back to back last night then played the teaser for the remake. They have no shame:(

When Final conflict came on I went upstairs and masturbated to some gangbang porn.

Yet I was pissed when I missed the end of Final Conflict...though it sucks.

...

[RedIsNotBlue]

I'm gonna go play some of the older SH games. It's been awhile since I have. Maybe (maybe) it might help me see the film in a new light.

I mean its fine if you don't like it ...whatever. But your making it out to be one of the worst movies of the year so far. I just don't get that.

[Cmill216]

I mean its fine if you don't like it ...whatever. But your making it out to be one of the worst movies of the year so far. I just don't get that.

Well, dude, of course you don't get it. Because you liked it. There are some films I liked that some people are like, "How could you like that, that's one of the worst films of the year." Of course, sometimes that's fact (i.e. like saying you like BloodRayne) and sometimes it's just opinion.

[zer00]

Bloodrayne should not be counted as a movie.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yes but if you read my little review I said that I can see why people dislike it and what people see as flaws but even with those I still don't see it being anywhere near worst movie of the year but okay.

[Master Chief]

Only good thing about Bloodrayne is Loken's breasts.

[Cmill216]

Bloodrayne should not be counted as a movie.

Now, THAT'S a fact. :up:

[RedIsNotBlue]

Bloodrayne should not be counted as a movie.

Uwe Boll shouldn't be counted as a director.

[zer00]

And Ben Kinglsey's tits




seemed funnier in my head

[Master Chief]

Kingsley has teets? :confused:

[Cmill216]

Yes but if you read my little review I said that I can see why people dislike it and what people see as flaws but even with those I still don't see it being anywhere near worst movie of the year but okay.

I haven't seen a whole lot of 2006 films this year, so obviously I can't say it is one of the worst I've seen this year (although it is kind of funny that I watched Good Night, and Good Luck on Thursday [which I really liked] and then went to see Silent Hill on Friday [which I really didn't like])

Oh, well. Someone asked me what I thought about Hill today, and I told them if they like gore and really creepy visuals to go see it. See, I did recommend it. :rolleyes:

;) :up:

[Cmill216]

Uwe Boll shouldn't be counted as a director.

Nor as a human being.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Uwe Boll is a perfect example of how people fail UPWARD in Hollywood.

[zer00]

Uwe Boll is a perfect example of how people fail UPWARD in Hollywood.

John Peters has been removed as poster boy:(

[zer00]

Kingsley has teets? :confused:

Ever get milk from them? Like Nazi gold.

[Cmill216]

I liked Kingsley on The Sopranos last night.

Oh, and that pitch: "It's The Ring meets The Godfather"? Priceless.

[LastSunrise1981]

;) :up:

You'd be the wrong person to ask, since it appears you're trying to change peoples view on the movie, especially those who really enjoyed it and appreciated it for what it was.

So to be honest, your recommendation means as much as Shaq on a free throw line.

By the way, Goodnight and Good Luck is not as good as Silent Hill in my opinion. Considering that you enjoyed that, I'd say your credibility is a bit shot.

[Darthphere]

The Shaq joke has been used a lot lately.

[zer00]

What is with all the Shaq analogies lately?

[zer00]

whoa....that was wierd

[Cmill216]

............:rolleyes:

Wow.

[Darthphere]

whoa....that was wierd


Yes it was, question still stands.

[LastSunrise1981]

The Shaq joke has been used a lot lately.

Okay, bad analogy since everyone is using it.

Perhaps a better one would be "Your opinion/recommendation means as much to that person as a Uwe Boll or Paul Anderson movie."



:p

[zer00]

Calm down dude. It's not like he's in this thread yelling and everyone and saying we're stupid for digging the flick. And that is something that doesn't happen often. You usually get people who seem like they stand outside a theater telling people not to go in. Least he has the "I don't dig the flick but you do and that's cool" attitude.

Better than the usual **** that will come in here.

[Downhere]

Ive never gotten how people can say oh man the movie was awesome but the ending messed it up for me, the movie is now garbage because of the last 5 minutes.

It wasn't the last 5 minutes for me. It was more the last 20 minutes which ruined it for me. And yes, if an ending is that bad it can ruin the whole film for me.

[Darthphere]

It wasn't the last 5 minutes for me. It was more the last 20 minutes which ruined it for me. And yes, if an ending is that bad it can ruin the whole film for me.


You mean Alessa coming out on her bed and killing people with barb wire, was not appeasing to you?:confused:

[zer00]

You mean Alessa coming out on her bed and killing people with barb wire, was not appeasing to you?:confused:

That...was the ****:(

I wish I could do that

I would be such a hit at parties

[Downhere]

You mean Alessa coming out on her bed and killing people with barb wire, was not appeasing to you?:confused:

Yeah, that was where the movie lost me. It was just the most retarded thing I ever seen. Then with the whole Phantom of the Opera music playing while she rose up...*sighs*

[Mr.Webs]

The only problem with that scene for me was Alessa's make-up. It just didn't look all that real. Kind of brought me out of it.:( Oh, and I was expecting Pyramid Head to come out of that hole, not Alessa, hence further dissapointment.

But, everything else was awesome. It seemed like right out of a religious painting of Hell coming up from the Earth to destroy the damned.:cool:

[Darthphere]

Yeah, that was where the movie lost me. It was just the most retarded thing I ever seen. Then with the whole Phantom of the Opera music playing while she rose up...*sighs*


The irony of this statement.:confused:

[zer00]

I thought she looked pretty ****ing disturbing personally. Still creeps me out a bit.


....anyone else thing that tall dude was Adrien Brody?

[Cmill216]

Calm down dude. It's not like he's in this thread yelling and everyone and saying we're stupid for digging the flick. And that is something that doesn't happen often. You usually get people who seem like they stand outside a theater telling people not to go in. Least he has the "I don't dig the flick but you do and that's cool" attitude.

Better than the usual **** that will come in here.

Thank you.

I've said (about 1,000 times) that I loved the movie from a visual standpoint. The costumes, makeup effects, VFX, cinematography, and sets were amazing for me. But as we know, a film is made or broken by it's script, and IMO (which I can't reiterate enough), the script was horrid. And I can distinctly remember saying, LastSunrise, that I recommended this film to someone for the visuals.

Oh, and LastSunrise, saying that my "credibility is a bit shot" by liking Good Night, and Good Luck is a completely asinine statement.

Opinions. Gotta love em'.

[Downhere]

Adrien Body? lol.

[Cmill216]

Yeah, that was where the movie lost me. It was just the most retarded thing I ever seen. Then with the whole Phantom of the Opera music playing while she rose up...*sighs*

That scene was actually pretty cool for me.

[DareDemon]

That wasn't really Phantom of the Opera playing, was it? I love the Phantom, but I haven't seen the 1925 version cause everywhere around me sucks.

[LastSunrise1981]

Calm down dude. It's not like he's in this thread yelling and everyone and saying we're stupid for digging the flick. And that is something that doesn't happen often.

If he doesn't dig the film, then he doesn't need to be in the thread. Why stay in the thread of a movie you hate? Makes no sense to me, but whatever. :up:

[Downhere]

Well, I am not a big fan of the horror/scary movie genre. The film had a lot going for it. The Visuals were top notch, costume and make up design were great, direction was great. It's just that ending was retarded for me. I can see how it would appeal to those who like this genre but for me it ruined an otherwise fantastic film.

[Cmill216]

If he doesn't dig the film, then he doesn't need to be in the thread. Why stay in the thread of a movie you hate? Makes no sense to me, but whatever. :up:

Well, it's kind of like this: I want to see what other people thought about it. What they liked, what they didn't like and how they saw things, all whether or not they liked it or not. That's all.

[Downhere]

That wasn't really Phantom of the Opera playing, was it? I love the Phantom, but I haven't seen the 1925 version cause everywhere around me sucks.

I was exagerating, it was just overly dramatic music for that scene. It kind of turned into a comedy from that point for me as I was laughing.

Definition of a bad ending:

The Village :down :down

[Robot Komakino]

I think the movie was flawless

[huskerwebhead]

I liked the film but it didn't creep me out at all. I really was hoping for more of what the game offered. Confusion, creepy sounds from somewhere in the fog/darkness. I really wanted to see more of Pyramid Head too....but his one big scene was pretty amazing. Hearing the Great Knife dragging behind him from the other side of the door was great.

[Johnny Drama]

Someone need to give him laser eye surgery. He can't spellk write. :p

Actually I spelled it right. It's Lasek eye surgery. With a k.

[zer00]

If he doesn't dig the film, then he doesn't need to be in the thread. Why stay in the thread of a movie you hate? Makes no sense to me, but whatever. :up:

Because this is a forum to talk about things intelligently. It's not like he's hurting the thread. If you went by that rule than the hype wouldn't exist and no one could talk about anything beyond "this rocks" "yeah it does rock"

Now I would agree if everytime we said something about us liking it he would come back and ***** and moan and say how ****ty the movie was. But...he hasn't even once. It's just a movie.

[Colossal Spoons]

Definition of a bad ending:

The Village :down :down

No sir, the ending was the best part. Def didn't see that coming.

[Cmill216]

Def didn't see that coming.

Neither did I.

But when I saw it, I was like, "What the f***?!?!?!?! THAT'S what this was all about?!?!" :D

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I'm sorry. I have to take that as a joke.

Anyways, The Village is a great movie because it commentates on our society and what happens and how far we would go to keep a peaceful world. the twist meant nothing to me, it just confirmed why they moved to Covington Woods.

[Mr.Webs]

I found no problem with The Village, other than that it dragged for a bit at times. I found it to be really a fine work by Night. Very different from his other stuff.:up:

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I reckon his best movie since Sixth Sense. Signs = meh. Unbreakable = unbearable...etc

[Cmill216]

The Village isn't bad at all. The ending threw me for a loop. That's for sure.

[Cmill216]

I reckon his best movie since Sixth Sense. Signs = meh. Unbreakable = unbearable...etc

Unbreakable....don't remind me. I PAID to see that in the THEATRE. Damn you, M. Damn you.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

It took me like 11+ watches to flesh EVERY TINY DETAILED THING to make sense of THE WHOLE movie. Adrien brody was excellent...as was Bryce :up: It was also good to have a female lead in a M Night movie...somewhat refreshing.

[Cmill216]

Bryce was GREAT in The Village. That's why I'm excited to see her in SM3 (and she'll be more dolled up, as well).

[Mr.Webs]

Mmmm...Bryce Howard.:o :cool:

Anyway, who is talking smack about Unbreakable?? Still say it's the best superhero movie yet.:up:

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

cmill :D

I've only seen bits and bobs of it but found it boring :(

I like the concept though of him being indestructible, but water can kill/hurt him. Though we've seen that with Superman :o

[LastSunrise1981]

I still haven't seen Unbreakable.

[RedIsNotBlue]

I still haven't seen Unbreakable.

I highly recommend it.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I guess if you're a diehard fan of Night, you should watch it. It's very comic booky. That's another upside.

[Cmill216]

I guess if you're a diehard fan of Night, you should watch it. It's very comic booky. That's another upside.

Edit. Nah. I take that back. :)

[Master Chief]

The ending of Unbreakable ruled, but man, the "train scene" was overrated.

[zer00]

I love Unbreakable. the ending was :smokes::up::up:

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

:smokes:?

[zer00]

Don't look at me like that

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Is that furreal?!

[zer00]

As real as a monkey's erect penis when it sees Shara Michelle Gellar






village blew

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

You blow.

[zer00]

...cacthy

[Bishop2]

I hate M. Night Shyamalan. The Sixth Sense had nothing going for it except its ending, and once you know that, it just flat-out had nothing. Unbreakable was directed like it was a horror movie despite the fact that he claimed it was a "real-life comic-book superhero film." It was sure disturbing as hell for a superhero film. And Signs? Man, Signs had nothing going for it at all. Three strikes and you're out. I didn't even bother with The Village.

Regarding Silent Hill, though... I know you guys have posted the Penny Arcade comics, but did you read Tycho's review that goes with it?

It's very, very mean. I very much disagree with him, but I'm going to share it anyway.

You might have seen people say that this was a good movie, or a faithful representation of the game, and I would urge you to disregard anything those people say in the future about movies or, indeed, any other subject. Silent Hill: The Movie evokes the games without accurately expressing them - to the extent that the movie succeeds at all, it is because director Christophe Gans has mastered the series' visual lexicon. It was weighed down by a faulty script, a terrible kind of smudge across the sheet, but brilliantly directed. It is in this way that it most closely mirrors electronic gaming in a general sense, though (ironically) not Silent Hill, in that it is the sterling execution of a poor narrative.

It's alright if a person wants to enjoy it, so long as they do not lie to themselves and others about the film in aggregate. One can exert their will and emerge from the film with whatever nutrients exist in that barren place. In the same way that a telescope cannot be made to examine itself, I believe that writing in a way can't be used to examine the dialogue of this movie. There is something foul about language after what this writer has done with it. Roger Avary, who PR flacks were quick to establish as one of our own, should go to prison. Not forever now, just for a couple hours, so that he can feel what it was like to languish in that dark theater.

The story for the first Silent Hill is what I would call "complex." It is not ready-made for the mass market. It is ambiguous in some ways. In short, it is the sort of story that a person like Roger Ebert might assume doesn't exist anywhere in gaming. This movie won't change his mind, because much of the subtlety and perhaps even the core ideas have either been stripped out or "seasoned" to appeal to the idiots they imagine will watch this thing. I say "idiots, etc." because this is a movie that feels the need to repeat two and three times what is really the most basic Goddamn information. There is no trust whatsoever in the viewing audience, which is to say you, aside from he absolute assurance that you will be snared by the carefully created mythology that this is "the faithful videogame translation."

The concepts communicated by the second game are far more digestible, and would require no idiot scribe to chew every detail to a paste and then spit it in my mouth. If Silent Hill must, must be a Box Office Entity, there are ways to manage it that do less violence to what it represents.

I can only hope that the PA fans won't be blinded by this review.

[zer00]

Yeah I said I disagreed with it. but most people disagree with alot of his views:o

[Bishop2]

Thats the thing Keanu was nothing like John Constantine, thats why people hated it.

Huh, that's funny. I remember it getting a very warm reception right here on this very site when it came out last year. And people were especially impressed with how true Keanu was to the character in spite of the fact that it was moved to LA and changed to an American tale for no reason other than budget.

[Master Chief]

He was a good American portrayal of Constantine. It's just that the British John is so much more kickass.

[Cmill216]

And people were especially impressed with how true Keanu was to the character in spite of the fact that it was moved to LA and changed to an American tale for no reason other than budget.

I know nothing about the Hellblazer comics, but I liked Constantine the film (and Keanu in it).

[Master Chief]

Constantine rules dude, read some Hellblazer TPBs.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v670/LilBrother/Forum/ownedConstantine.gif

[zer00]

I liked the film. I know it's not that faithful from what I know of the character and his origins. But it's still decent stand alone film.

[RedIsNotBlue]

I would really love a Constantine sequel. And to stay on topic a Silent Hill 2. :)

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

do the letters "R", "O", "F", and "L" mean anything to anyone?

[zer00]

Constantine rules dude, read some Hellblazer TPBs.

change it to pwned and I'll save it

[ToddIsDead]

I liked the film. I know it's not that faithful from what I know of the character and his origins. But it's still decent stand alone film.
Yeah, me too. I haven't read too much Hellblazer, but I know enough that it wasn't very faithful. Still a cool movie though.

[RedIsNotBlue]

change it to pwned and I'll save it

How about PWNSTANTINE? :confused:

[zer00]

I would really love a Constantine sequel. And to stay on topic a Silent Hill 2. :)

Shame there won't be a C2

But on topic

can't ****ing wait for SH2. I got to go purchase it:o

[Cmill216]

How about PWNSTANTINE? :confused:

:D :D That's sig worthy.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

How about PWNSTANTINE? :confused:

ARROWED! :o

Shame there won't be a C2

I believe mine lasted like a week. "Jude Law and Andy Serkis for TEH SENTINELZ?!"

[Bishop2]

I've been told that there's actually an "extremist christian cult" in the Silent Hill game universe, called "The Order," which did indeed burn witches throughout the town's history and at some point separated into both the extreme christian sect and the samael-worshipping sect. If this is true, I must admit I'm a lot less bothered by the film's third and final act.

Nothing to do with Silent Hill, but did you know in England there's a religious cult that dress like and worship Ned Flanders?! :eek::eek:

go to wikipedia and type in Silent Hill:o

[RedIsNotBlue]

Always a chance. Same situation as a Daredevil sequel. Slim chance but still a chance...hehe.

[zer00]

I did not. Are you serious? I can't find any evidence or articles about this.
tis true

[Bishop2]

go to wikipedia and type in Silent Hill:o

Hmmm. Judging by wikipedia, the people who told me this are NOT correct. "The Order" has never had any relationship to an extreme christian cult.

[zer00]

Always a chance. Same situation as a Daredevil sequel. Slim chance but still a chance...hehe.

God I want a DD sequel:(

I know it will never happen with the same cast so it makes me sad:(

god I hate life

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Yeah it's true. They even said it on a commentary on a season six episode of The Simpsons...forgot which one though.

[Cmill216]

Is the Director's Cut significantly better than the original?

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

god I hate life

Go cut yourself, dye your hair black, wear black clothes, think of nothing but death and your halfway there :up:

emo.

[Cmill216]

I heard about that too. Don't know where though.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Is the Director's Cut significantly better than the original?

I've only watched half, but I reckon they are both the same. Though DDDC is better in story than...so I guess yeah...lol

[zer00]

Is the Director's Cut significantly better than the original?

Like a different movie. I loved the theatrical version

it's garbage to me now

Everyone I know who has seen both says the DC is an improvement. Plus it's got Coolio. How can you beat that? :D

Coolio and John Favreau doing a courtroom scene together?

God: I can't beat that

[Bishop2]

I strongly prefer the theatrical cut. I thought the Director's Cut screwed up some important story points. Your mileage may vary.

[zer00]

...maybe you got the TC and the DC mixed up

[Master Chief]

It's the other way around Bishop. :confused:

[SpiderHulkThing]

saw the movie last night. really good. best video game movie i've seen. even better than resident evil.

[Psionic Force]

Saw the movie tonight .... was pretty good. Better than I expected actually. I really liked the Dahlia character. The actress that portrayed her was really good. I liked her voice alot. And it was kinda cool to see the Borg Queen in the movie :) Playing yet another evil role

The posters for the movie, on the movie site, are cool as well. I dont know why, but I liked the nurses as well :)

http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/silenthill/characters/downloads/posters/poster_thenurses.jpg

Hope it is ok to post that here... do not want to spoil it for anyone. I would think that, since they are on the official site, it is ok.

[Cryostar1177]

It's all about the nurses faces.

It's better when you see them and their spasmadic movements in the movie.....especially when they start attacking things.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Am I the only one who think te nurses are hot (without looking at their face) *gets into bed, puts on protection, and puts paper bag over nurse's head*

[Colossal Spoons]

3 thoughts about the movie:

1. Pyramid Head has the biggest biceps/triceps I've seen in a long time. I want those.

2. I'd so give it to those dead nurse hoes.

3. The Hills Have Eyes was nowhere in this movie's league. Thought I thought this movie was just "ok"; THHE was the worst movie I'd seen in years....and I saw Madagascar AND Sky High.

No, you're not alone :up: :up:

[terry78]

They did have some big titicacas :o

[zer00]

So we all agree to gangbang the nurses at dawn?

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

As long as they leave their knives and stuff behind...I'm not into erotic torture :( :D

[Unleashed]

The hottest was the cop

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I lov epeople called Cybil

[Unleashed]

Was that the cops name?

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Cybil...that's all I know.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Well, it's that in the game, and last I checked, that's what the actor was credited as :up:

[zer00]

right above you

[Unleashed]

She was way hotter here than in FF

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Mmm...I'm assuming she acted better as well. She never deserved Ben anyway :down

[Unleashed]

She looked really old in FF, not so much here. Plus she was mainly eye candy

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Yeah, I thought she was like...*ew*

[Unleashed]

In which movie?

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

FF...havent seen Silent hill yet...not released here in Aus. :(

[Unleashed]

oh, well she looks great

[Bishop2]

FF...havent seen Silent hill yet...not released here in Aus. :(

I was thinking you were talking about "Final Fantasy" for the longest time... it finally hit me... Fantastic Four... oh...

Cybil Bennett is her name.

And the hottest was Rose in her sleepwear in the opening.

[Master Chief]

I thought when Cybil took off her helmet and jacket for the first time she was total hottness. Though it could have been because she was a total badass just seconds before.

[Bishop2]

You know, I've been wondering if maybe the ending is a potential set-up for a much-altered translation of Silent Hill 2...

Perhaps the sequel film will start with Christopher getting a mysterious letter from Rose, telling him to meet her in Silent Hill... much like James.

Of course, the ultimate twist regarding James and Mary couldn't be preserved if that was the case.

Either way, it does seem like doing ANY kind of translation of Silent Hill 3 is pretty much impossible with how this one ends, unless something happens to change Sharon/Alessa's nature in the third one. She seems to end this movie in a very creepy, wacked-out state.

[zer00]

Since Gans wanted to do an adaption of SH2 from the start you'd think it would stay pretty faithfull. But yeah that could be the set up but it would be meh without the twist. And SH3 is basically impossible. Maybe they'll do The room instead:o

[Master Chief]

The Room would actually make for a kickass stand-alone movie.

[Nathan]

Ok I just watched the Movie and thought it was ok. Of course I can't really judge because I didn't play through the first two games. But it maybe could have had a few more scares since even I was able to watch it.

There are only 2 things that bother me. The ending, simply because I don't understand it. And when Cybil let herself get beat up all of a sudden. She was kicken ass seconds before and then when she shows them that she doesn't have any ammo left she didn't even try to put up a fight.

[TheVileOne]

I don't get the sense that Silent Hill is the revolutionary video game movie everyone claimed it would be. And it seems to be doing moderate business at best.

I think the thing with Cybil is basically a case where she was beating up on their asses when they were attacking both her AND Rose, but when they all teamed up on just her, she got pummelled.

[zer00]

That's... nice, vile

[Nathan]

I think the thing with Cybil is basically a case where she was beating up on their asses when they were attacking both her AND Rose, but when they all teamed up on just her, she got pummelled.

I'd understand if she simply got pummelled, but the thing is once she revealed that she's out of ammo she simply smiled and stood there. She didn't even raise a arm or anything that would indicate that she was at least trying to defend herself.

It's like she thought, "Oh 3 against 1, ah let's not even bother and get it over with".

[zer00]

Well of course. She didn't have a chance. I mean she could defend herself from them for only so long...they still had weapons.

And even if she managed to beat all 3 of them and get away. She'd probobly be badly injured and...oh is that a siren?

I'd rather just have them kill me quickly then to have to fend them off for a while and get more of the **** beat out of me.

And she was really only attacking them so Rose could get away, she probobly knew that she could only do so much.

More realistic then her just trying to fight all of them off and delay what would eventually happen anyway.

I doubt she thought they would burn her alive:o

[Zenien]

Silent Hill, while not amazing, is easilly the best video game movie made yet. One thing that really helps it is that the monster/visual designs are fantastic. It's a credit not only to the those responsible for the monsters, but also to how incredible the design work of Silent Hill is in the first place.

I think that one of the movies saving graces was how well done the visual effects were, how perfectly they replicated the art of the Silent Hill games in terms of "Hell" and the creatures.

The movies weakness though, is the script and the actors. Both could have been improved. Hopefully the movie does well enough that the studio makes a sequel (with probably having 5-10 million shaved off the budget because it's probably only going to do a little bit better than break even :( ).

My sibling saw the movie, she's a Silent Hill fan as I am, but she didn't like it and said it was "the most R-rated movie she's ever seen" yet she had no problem with Sin City or the violence in that. I've come across a few people who have said that the movie was "Too gory and disturbing", but honestly, I find horrible acts of violence much easier to swallow in the context of it being demons and dark gods and extremist religion than I do with something like Sin City. In Sin City, the violence is there without a shred of real justification, and these are 'normal' people, to me that's a lot more objectionable than something that's brought about due to hell and ocultists.

Those Nurses were pretty hot... :O

So Anyway Silent Hill is falling fast...:( I'm not holding my breath about it making 10 million over the next weekend (which would bea 50% drop) I really hope is shows some legs and manages to surpass the production/advertising cost of 50 million so we can get our Silent Hill 2 with James.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=silenthill.htm

Of course DVD sales will help them out a lot... It might be a bit early to judge, but it dropped significantly from friday to sunday and some people are crazy so it seems the movie has bad word of mouth, plus there were like 10 people in the theater when I went to see it on monday for the 10 showing. :(

[Nathan]

Hey, just being curious. How exactly did the first game end. And was it also all about fanatics?

[zer00]

Huh I thought the movie has been doing decently:o

If anything that just added to Cybil's badassness. She did what she had to do, then fends three miners and a crazy b**ch off with an empty gun. Shoots, the gun clicks, she smiles, and takes a beating.

I just can't believe that she lived after being beat with a 3 inch pipe like that. I mean come on, you beat her like that, then you burn her? Ouch. Great effect of having the skin peel away, I loved that.


All in all, I think these were some of the best deaths I've seen in a long while.

[Mr. Credible]

yeah... i finally got around to seeing this last night. great style, very creepy and disturbing, so-so acting, mediocre to downright bad dialogue... the ending was stupid, as were alot of the plot points.

although this was the second best videogame based movie i've ever seen, that really isn't saying much if you think about it.

i think the title of best videogame movie goes to Advent Children. if you have only seen the dubbed japanese version, i suggest you go buy or rent the english version. alot of the dialogue has been revised to make a much, much more cohesive story. not to mention the action is some of the sickest crap you're likely to see like, ever.

Its animated. You have a lot more freedom.

[Johnny Drama]

I don't remember Cybill dyeing in the game. I could be wrong...

[guitarsingerguy]

It depends on how you do things. You either have to kill her or cure her.

I'm not going to use spoiler tags for a game that came out for PS1. :o

[Darth Elektra]

Was 20million a big enough opening for this film to be successful?

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I'm not going to use spoiler tags for a game that came out for PS1. :o

Well that's a bit selfish for people who havent' played the game fully or seen the movie :o

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Was 20million a big enough opening for this film to be successful?

It'll make it's budget back within a month, if it stays any longer, a seuqel is pretty much on the way...plus it still has to open in other countries like mine, Australia, so yeah...

[Zenien]

Huh I thought the movie has been doing decently:o

Maybe I worry too much. :O

[Bishop2]

It depends on how you do things. You either have to kill her or cure her.

And according to the official continuity of Silent Hill 3, the ending where she died is the right one.

[guitarsingerguy]

And according to the official continuity of Silent Hill 3, the ending where she died is the right one.

I don't recall that. It's been a long time since I've played part 3 though. I just can't remember anything in 3 making a difference on whether she lived or not.

[zer00]

I don't recall that. It's been a long time since I've played part 3 though. I just can't remember anything in 3 making a difference on whether she lived or not.

It's probobly that so they didn't have to explain what happened to her or anything.

[guitarsingerguy]

Well that's a bit selfish for people who havent' played the game fully or seen the movie :o

My statement has zero to do with the film. It isn't that much like the game. As far as me being selfish about people not playing the game, it came out what? We gotta be creeping up on then years I guess. I know I should put that sort of stuff in spoiler tags, I just don't see the point after so long. :(

I understand, it's just I for one haven't played the game much...I've gone all over Silent Hill and it's completely cut off...I dunno what to do next...:(

[guitarsingerguy]

I understand, it's just I for one haven't played the game much...I've gone all over Silent Hill and it's completely cut off...I dunno what to do next...:(

Well, you can get some great recollections of what happened very specifically in the games across the internet. I'm sure you can even find the main points on Youtube or somewhere similar. If you never get to play them, I think it's worth it just to watch them at least. :up:

[LastSunrise1981]

Sean Bean does resemble James Sunderland in a interesting way. If they go with the sequel and they follow the Silent Hill II storyline, then one can and will see great results.

Personally it would be wonderful story and a great break-out role for Sean so he can show a lot more emotion, anger, and sadness when it comes to his wife in Silent Hill.

Then we can get a deeper meaning of Pyramid Head's origins and so forth. :up:

[Master Chief]

An observation from someone at another forum:

Another thing that we noticed that drives us to believe that Mr. DeSilva is REALLY James Sunderland 2.0, is that he is very timid towards other men, but he's willing to raise his voice at and even get physical with women when he's mad. Also, the way he talks and his mannerisms remind me a lot of James.

If joo are a fan of SH2 and have seen the moofie give that a read. Or if you just want to read something hidden by spoiler bars go right ahead. It's not spoilerific, and what's underneath this line is probably worse. :confused:

She also went on to say how they should use the SHII storyline in a sequel where Sean Bean goes to search for answers and then Pyramid Head will play a bigger role and whatnot.

[zer00]

Hmmm
