Body: [quote user="leeroy711"] Well this seems like a fun enough topic. Let's talk about video game films. I'm not really talking about movies that are based on video games like Lara Croft or Resident Evil. I'm talking more about movies that are about video games. I got the idea this weekend while I was watching the really bad but still pretty enjoyable horror flick from good old 1994 called Brainscan with Eddie Furlong and Frank Langella. It was about this kid that gets some sort of virtual reality CD-ROM, goes into a trance when he's playing it and starts killing people.... Sounds great right?? Okay maybe not, but it did make me start thinking about this as a topic. I remember watching Tron countless times when I was younger and loving it. I haven't watched it in many years and I'm pretty sure the experience would be ruined if I tried to sit through it now. I've also been wanting to re-watch eXisntenZ lately. I thought it was pretty brilliant in a very Cronenberg sort of way the first time I saw it and I am actually hoping to get a bit more out of it the next time. I also wonder if that film will be really dated in another 10 or 20 years. And I don't think I could mention video game movies without talking about The King Of Kong. I think this is the greatest doc I've ever seen. It was excatly what a documentary should be, in that it's about something that is very small to most of us but a huge deal to all the people that are being profiled. Well, that's all I got for now.. Peace, Love and watch more effing movies. [/quote] I actually never saw TRON until just a few years ago! I didn't find it THAT fascinating, but I can imagine if I saw it as a kid when it came out I might have felt differently. David Warner is always a fantastic villian though! What do you think about the new TRON movie coming out? Have you seen the trailer? The video game movie from my youth is The Wizard for sure. It was definitely a product of it's time. Something about the characters and the settings. Actually it was pretty depressing if you really look at it! But the video game stuff was of course cool for a kid. The kid with the Power Glove was so hilarious! "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad!" And then of course there was the AMAZING moment when the unveiled SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 3! One of the most exciting video game moments ever. But then it was shattered by the absurdity that even though no one had ever seen the game before, the girl in the audience was yelling up all kinds of tips and clues about how the game works and secret passages and such. I've never seen eXisntenZ but that whole trapped in a video game alternate reality thing is a pretty popular premise for movies. Acutally a lot more for animation. The other huge Nintendo love of my youth was the TV show Captain N: The Game Master. A guy gets sucked into his Nintendo and lives in a big Nintendo world where all of the different popular Nintendo games come together in one big universe. These characters and storylines that have nothing to do with each other come together while this guy's video game controller and zapper still work. Really pretty silly, but pretty sweet to see which video game characters they might encounter each week. There are a lot of Animes where people get sucked into video games too I belive. I haven't seen any, so I can only remember two off the top of my head. Avalon by the director of The Ghost in the Shell films (actually now I'm reading about it, I'm not sure if this anime...). An anime series called .hack//SIGN. I KNOW there is a new movie coming out soon where prisoner's bodies can be controlled by gamers in a death match in a kind of real life video game. WHAT IS THIS MOVIE CALLED!?!? I swear I saw a trailer for it or heard about it or something. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Also, The King of Kong is one my very favorite movies to come out in years. But I heard a lot of people respond that Chasing Ghosts about the same scene of people is even better. Anyone seen that one? Oh yeah, and I heard Grandma's Boy is pretty funny too.
