Interesting. Hopefully the live-action component isn't a few people sitting at their computers playing the game.

They should do a movie based on the sex lives of people who play WoW.

Hey, live-action WoW, what could go wrong?

At least they got Sam Raimi on board.

I actually hadn't decided whether I was jesting or not when I wrote that. There are definitely more than a few experiences I myself could share, probably.

I would totally watch this movie.

What the hell is it with Darkman? I keep hearing about it, but from what I saw of the last 1/2 hours of the film the only thing that got my roommate and I cracking up with laughter was his final monologue (as we had no cluse what we were watching at the time, "I am no where, and I am everywhere. I am no one and I am everyone. I. Am....Darkman."
Such an omnious voice and then he calls himself Darkman. Terribly great rofls, but then again I could have just been in an off-perspective that night.

Uh, Darkman is the shit.

Liam Neeson is the shit.

Shit is the shit.

Ah, ok. I found the DVD for $3 @ the big-lots and got it for my former roommate. Maybe we can watch it sometime...from the beginning.

"Day 48
I’m starting to regret firing the technical advisers. Someone needs to explain to me how these dorks think. For instance, whenever the extras “kill” someone during a battle scene, they immediately stop fighting and start grabbing pieces of his costume. Even the ears! If I didn’t know better, I’d think someone was paying them for detached body parts, but that’s crazy talk."
