Mmm.... happy place.... Neuromancer is a good book. I have dreams of one day adapting it into a d20 modern campaign.

Why do we never see any movies about "Project: Sunshine and Puppies"?

That actually looks decent. Go australia, show Hollywood what the offspring of criminals can do!

@The Blow Leprechaun: Its project NECROmancer, not Neuro, its all about dead bodies baby...

Also how bout that white scene reminiscent of Resident Evil?

I've always wondered how future soldiers ever accomplish anything wandering around with bright lights pointed right at their eyes within their masks.

"Murdox... Turn your eye lights on!"
"But sir, I can't see shit!"

"But you look menacing! Didn't you see Panzer Corps?!"

@Log1c: I'm in my happy place, where this movie doesn't exist! Leave me be!

@Garrison Dean, King Awesome: You are so right. The soldier uniforms with giant shoulder pads and red glowy eyes look stupid as hell. The black helmet with holes in it (presumably to let in those ememy bullets?) looks like my son's skateboarding helmet. Very disappointing...

@Log1c: Thank you for straightening that out. We don't want to get those two things confused!

@Garrison Dean, King Awesome: Looking tough is half the battle. Shooting your gun and spinning around in circles is the other half.

Glowing eyeballs are the prerequisite for becoming a supersoldier.

Damn you producers. How am I ever going to hire anyone to work on Project: Darkened Cavern Full of Flesh Eating Zombies?

@Belabras:
What? You mean the Project: Sunshine and Puppies by the old, abandoned mill next to the swamp?

@Annalee Newitz: Also glowing eyeballs and/or visors provide infrared vision. Science said so...

These guys really win points with me for what looks like massive use of practial effects and models...

However Doom wasn't the movie I thought of them ripping off.. Something more alien.

"Hello there, Mr. Johnson, and welcome to your new job. Those of us who will be working with you on Project Evil Dead Will Eat Your Spleen hope you have a long stay with us. The guy you are replacing, Chuck, had an unfortunate and completely unforseeable accident wherein an Evil Dead...ate his spleen. I am sure that it won't happen again."

"Your locker is the one with the message written in blood that says 'go away or we will eat your spleen."

"Fridays are Hawai'ian shirt day!"

When I first saw that picture, I thought Daft Punk finally decided to get even with Kanye.

That was for you, Garrison Dean, King Awesome. ;)

What a horrible title.

I mean, it's not like anyone lurks in broad daylight.

@Log1c: They're making a movie of Project Necrophiliac ? The Bravo show?

@moff: MMmm.. Bravo can't get enough of that dead people lovin...

Well, to be fair, the fictional project was probably named by the fictional scientists working on it. A strange sense of humor is not uncommon among scientists, fictional or not.

The facilities however, should have been the cue to RUN THE FUCK AWAY! FREEZE, IT IS A MORE PLEASANT WAY TO DIE! It is all pointy-bits, dimly lit corridors, and all the interior decoration of a bomb-shelter.

@Belabras: Because I'm keeping my doomsday project secret, that's why. Oh, pretend I didn't say anything.

@Miranda Kali:
Oh, yes. The one on the Indian burial ground. Next to the the Military biological weapon testing facility. That's the one.

Those puppies, they sure do love that sunshine.

oooh. this looks like fun.

@Plague: Eddie Izzard did.

Note to self:

Name all projects at work "Project Necromancer". No one will bother me or be surprised when I stop showing up.

@extracrispy: Why would they kill someone that was making them more successful? ;) Funny you mention Kanye... more later.

@Belabras:
Im reminded of the fireworks candy and puppy dog store Bart was so interested in going to on the Simpsons.

Stupid box factory.

2008 and still people do the thing with text on a computer screen popping up a character at a time with werbly noises. Do any of these floons ever use computers? Yeah, when I'm typing, characters come up one at a time, but you can also see the window I'm typing in.

@zenpoet:
Well, Eddie Izzard can do whatever the hell he wants.

Definatley saw some aliens in there, that said, I wouldn't mind seeing this.

I love how supersoldier on the left has stern-looking red glowy eye lights and supersoldier on the right has surprised-looking red glowy eye lights ... which one will survive? hmmmmmmm, we wonders, yes we does.

@Plague:
Yes he can. His all too brief segment in across the universe is the ONLY reason I didn't make my girlfriend sleep on the couch for making me watch such a terrible film, well maybe not the only reason...

*eyes those facemasks*

apparently peripheral vision is for the weak.

Looks like a good hack-and-slash, check your logic at the door, no such thing as overkill sort of movie. So I'll probably like it.

On second thought, having watched the trailers and a brief clip on the myspace page, I take that back. The acting is horrific and the sound effects almost as bad. Shame, it looked so cool until I heard it...

While not a movie I'd probably see, I was surprising pleased with the old school fx of the ship coming in over the base. It was kinda refreshing after being used to CGIrrhhea over everything.

All I ask for in this movie is alot of the Supersoldiers to yell, "Crikey!!" Alot. Like whenever a zombie rears its head around the corner...CRIKEY!
