Ah, thank god! We’ve been sitting on this one all day in hopes of it clearing up (before we too looked like jackasses). There were a few unbelievable and very-dubious reports today that Paul Thomas Anderson, director of “There Will Be Blood” would dumb down his shit to tackle a video game adaptation of “Metal Gear Solid.” It seemed way off-base and ridic and especially since there’s another director called Paul W.S. Anderson, a hack who did game adaptations like, “Resident Evil.”
Apparently Paul was interested, however, it never became clear which Paul that was. Some confirmation wires got crossed, and then the next thing you know PTA directing Video Game movie!
But alas, no, the rumor is “completely false and ridiculous” (no shit). And thank god for that. What, did he all of a sudden get a console for Xmas and decide, “hey, this would make a great movie!?” In the name of good taste, thank Allah! All’s well that ends well.
for all the nerdy superhero / 80’s cartoon movies you discuss on here, i would think you guys would know metal gear is only available on the playstation.
and those games are basically ridiculously weird movies anyway, but very seldom do they revolve around pudding cups and frequent flyer miles.
Ooh, snap! Called Out. Yeah, we don’t play video games (mostly) and were too lazy check and as for the superhero/ ’80s cartoons, OMG!
Please, you know we’ve made fun of that shit forever, but let’s be frank, the nerds eat that shit up like its a sundae and it brings the traffic (sometime I need more than 4 readers).
Plus, we’ll admit it. We were 8-years-old once and read enough comics to be versed in that world enough to have a, *cough*, intelligent conversation about it.
Either way, fuck your moms (and thanks for reading) 🙂
