[The Third Man]

I think the enthusiastic reception of the Mortal Kombat thing is further proof that we need to just kill off every male under 30 and start over with that generation.

Hey, I enthusiastically seek out 7 hour Hungarian films. Leave me out of this.

Mortal Kombat was my favorite arcade game. And I went to the arcade alot during middle school. Good, bad, whatever, I'll be checking it out.

Raiden forever!

If I were a mod, I'd totally deliver this post a perfectly-executed Fatality.

i was just about to post this...its definitely taking some liberties from the true story of MK, but it looks like it could be an entertaining flick...especially considering how the first two were...

See, I've heard a lot of complaints about this (not implying you are complaining). Why does it matter? I just want something that's entertaining, and it looks like this fits the bill.

yeah i wasn't complaining (not implying that you were implying that i was complaining )...i guess people just want things to be as similar as possible to the original, which i can understand...

my brother was telling the story of this trailer and how like, whatever production company it is, wanted to re-boot the series or at least attempt it and gave some first time director some money and said "make us a trailer of how you would envision this world" etc...and thats what he came up with...and i think the video (at least on youtube..the official trailer from the company) has gotten like 1.5 million views in 2 days or so...

I'm sure a lot of the people in this thread are going to find the fact that I'm posting this to be laughable (particularly the older ones), but what do you guys think of the proof-of-concept Mortal Kombat video that was released? (It's here if you haven't seen it).

I think it looks pretty good.

The cop talks like he's constipated.

Looks like Guillermo del Toro is off of the Hobbit, and no chance of Peter Jackson taking over. I'm really disappointed.

[clevername]

the last I read Jackson is willing to take it over if that's what gets it financing but has some other commitments first so they're still trying to get someone else in there. With the state MGM is in, I don't know that Jackson taking the reigns right now would even get it done. They don't have enough money for the next Bond, either.

it'll get made eventually, and my bet is that Jackson will end up directing it.

I finally watched Once Upon a Time in the West yesterday and was suitably impressed. It fit in well with me finishing Red Dead Redemption Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, I followed it up with The Changeling.
