August TVGB Q&A / Games on the silver screen

TVGB: "Hollywood loves nothing more than franchises. The easiest way for a flick to earn some more money at the box office is to slap a recognizable name on it and lure innocent movie goers in. One way this happens is by making film adaptations of some of our favorite video games. At risk of starting a fistfight with Uwe Boll, I dare say the true problem with this is they're almost all terrible. But even with such a bad history, a lot of gamers still want movies to be made out of their favorite videogames and try to make their pleading voices heard. Film adaptations of games always have some kind of potential to be good movies and so we at TVGB bought and assembled a water cooler to discuss the matter."
