I think I would rather play the game too. But I actually really like video games so that wouldnt be much of a dilema 8)

Hey, say what you want about wrestling (I hate it, personally) but the Rock can pick a movie- not only was Doom pretty entertaining, but he was also in "The Rundown," which is the funniest thing I've seen with Stifler in it for a long time.

The graphics always sucked for Doom...The Rock sucks too for that matter, but then again I've never been a fan of wrestling.  Well I take that back, I do like the Undertaker, only cuz he's got some phatty bo batty music.

Oh and just in case you're wondering, you gotta remember USA is my fav network so I'm seeing commericals for Monday Night Raw...

Yeah, I see the same commercials. I love Psych. ;D

Anyway, how about those Shadowrun-style movies?

hmm, what about U-571?  True, it's WWII and military, but stealing a sub to get encryption codes?  Not to mention how quickly the drek hit the fan.

Never thought of it like that.  I guess it would be an ancient version of Shadowrun...but still good enough to qualify I guess.

I think the name of the movie was Paycheck....that sorta had a shadowrun feel to it, even if it was just from the technology aspec...

I'm suprised that none of these were mentioned. But how about the ghost in the shell series and movie, and appleseed. I like how their matrix is mostly iconic, and has barriers to hack. High tech, the stories reveal a lot about the humanity of the characters, teamwork is critical, and it shows just how deep some plots can run. Not much magic though, but just pull some ideas from other anime.

Appleseed had a good monofilament whip in it, too.

A lot of anime isn't exactly kids' stuff.  its just the perception Americans have because of Disney and Looney Tunes and stuff.

Oh I know its not kid stuff, the first anime I watched was like a cheap porn.  And I saw part of the movie The Ghost in the Shell or Machine or something like that.  I just found it difficult to really get into it.  Maybe I just don't get it...

Could be. Not everyone likes anime. I consider myself a fan, but I'm pretty particular on what I watch - Cowboy Bebop, yes. Inuyasha, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Neogenesis Evangallion, no. Early Robotech, yes. Later Robotech, no. Ghost in the Shell, hell Yes. Akira, Hell yes. Anything with love triangles, people crying milk, and cheap porn, no.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone Complex. Hell yes.
