at 9:11 AM on Apr 16
In my mind, there have only been three good video game adaptations in history.
Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, and Mario Bros.
I loved this movie when it came out for it's brilliant adaptation of game elements into real-world, actually plausible, devices.

Chiper commented on The Scifi Sound Effects That Take Over Your Brain,
at 4:22 PM on Apr 11
The ambient background hum of any Startrek ship from TNG on up.
The opening of the stargate, the opening of the iris, the button activation sounds on the DHD, the electric discharge of a zat'niqita, and the clatter and clank of a Replicator's steps.
The sound of Mal's pistol firing (Firefly).
The sounds of the Rifles, AutoTurrets, and the huge plasma assisted autoguns that Mendez and Perez carried in Aliens.
The Predator's shoulder cannon.
The birds on Endor (Return of the Jedi).
I'll also second those awesome depth charges that Jango Fett used in Episode 2.
