Wrestlevania Posted May 17, 2007 The imagery is haunting me. Mostly in part because if you replace the infected with normal people and then mentally picture the scenearios in places like Somalia, Dubai, Iraq...The film is still giving me chills. Right, good. This is what had me keen to see 28 Weeks Later in the first place (apart from the zombies). I'll definitely be watching this now--thanks, twmac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twmac Posted May 22, 2007 No probs... I went to see the film again on Saturday (it ranks along side Elephant and Battle Royale as the one of the few films I've seen twice at the cinama). If anything, now that the cheap shocks have been removed because I know what is going to happen the film is even sadder. Went to see it with an ex, she was in tears after the first scene and had to go to the bathroom for a bit. A few other people actually walked out halfway through, it was at a more mainstream theatre so there is a good chance these people thought it was a sequel to a Sandra Bullock film and left... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0191754/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryam BaCo Posted May 22, 2007 well... the ending of 28 days ruined the whole movie - so i guess 28 weeks can't be any bader... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted May 22, 2007 Which one? Fuckin' multiple endings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryam BaCo Posted May 23, 2007 Which one?Fuckin' multiple endings. 28 days has multiple endings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted May 23, 2007 Yes. That first multiple ending is the only one they actually distributed AFAIK, and was the first one I saw as it's the one they chose to show on the Sky Movies channel. I then saw the last bit of the film on the same channel some months later while channel hopping and it had a different ending. No wonder I thought it ended on a much darker note than most people!!

DanJW Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah the dark ending was shown in cinemas on the 28th day of release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted May 27, 2007 Well... this must be the stupidest idea so far. How on earth can you create a movie from The Sims... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted May 27, 2007 Well, no-ones making it, they just sold the rights. Probably to some clueless studio exec with more money than brains. "Look, wouldn't you like to own the film rights to the worlds best selling video game, also the game most played by women? Great! that will be $1B please. HAHAHA so long sucker!"

Thrik Posted May 27, 2007 "The Sims has done an interactive version of an old story, which is what it's like to have infinite power and how do you deal with it," the Hollywood industry paper quoted Rod Humble, head of The Sims Studio at EA, as saying. ... ... ...

brkl Posted May 27, 2007 That's pretty great, the head of The Sims Studio has never played The Sims or apparently studied the design at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noyb Posted May 28, 2007 I imagine a Hollywood movie based on the Sims to be a thriller about a group of roommates who discover their lives are not entirely under their control. A mysterious smoke detector inexplicably appears after a freak electrical fire that consumes one of the friends. Another struggles to make enough friends in the small town in order to progress in his career. A couple have a baby despite the mother never delivering. In the final scene, the cast all fall in love with each other, because of the amount of talking they had done trying to find out who is controlling their lives.

Oath Posted June 2, 2007 I can't wait for the humiliating urine related scenes. People pissing themselves left and right and then the ladder to the pool dissapears and Jimmy drowns in front of all his friends, after swimming around for a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
