The Happening

Game sighting in a movie? Saw something on the screen other than a game? Weird, let us know.

The Happening

Post by Shur*tugal »

Don't go see this movie...unless you go in the morning when it is cheaper. The movie is rated "R" for gore, the death scenes are pretty gory, but that’s about it. I think he has made far better. Signs and Unbreakable were much better.

So, there you go without giving away too much of the plot...

...but I think that the liberal environmentalists will like this movie too (Hint Hint).

I read the spec script back when it was called "The Green Effect".

I thought it was pretty cool. Reminded me of, like, a Ray Bradbury (or maybe more like Frank Herbert) short story or something.

Why didn't ya' like it?

I was just wishing for a more dramatic storyline (not enough mystery).

I didn't think it was amazing, but it was totally enjoyable. Alison and I laughed through most of the gory scenes. Yeah, the plot was a bit thin, and we kinda felt the acting wasn't great, either. But there was still enough mystery and suspense to keep us in our seats.

I dunno, depends on how much you like M. Night movies. Legally obtain it if you're not a huge fan. :wink:

M. Night is working on an Avatar: Last Airbender movie at the moment. If he does a good job with it, all his past movies will be forgiven.

word. I'm loving parasite eve. It's like Chrono Trigger + Final Fantasy + Resident Evil I hear Parasite Eve 2 plays more like a resident evil game though, which is dissapointing, since the gameplay of PE1 is perfect for RPG lovers. I think it's totally underrated.

I saw Parasite Eve at the same store I got RE2 from (GameNut on Mass.). I'll give it a spin once I get done with RE2.

Rare PSX games are pulling a premium these days; FFVII going for $70+. :o

Yeah, I tried that first, but emulation on Mac is almost non-existent. ROM sites are a big clusterfuck, anyway. I don't feel bad buying reasonably priced PSX games.

Not if they're 70+ American dollar bills worth. And honestly, it wouldn't be worth it anyway since PSN legally has them up for download for about 10 bucks a piece. :|

Yeah, its really lame. There are amazing emulators for just about every system besides PSX. Bootcamp works wonders, though. :)

Speaking of Parasite Eve, I LOVED THAT GAME! I played through it right after I beat FFVII in 97 or whatever. Great game. I love that scene where everyone catches on fire.

Sucks that Parasite Eve 3 will be for mobile phones. What's with squares and phones recently?

Phones are an incredibly profitable market in Japan.
