Far from it ronny boy. Iam just shooting the shit. Iam bored at work. loOOOOOooong day today.

I do dislike microsoft. Not for the sole purpose of the 360. but for being D#$k wads about ripping off its consumers. They are the kings of releasing sub par products.... then patching them over and over and over again. 98..2000 me....XP... Vista...360.to name a few that i have had trouble with; sure they all work well now. but shouldnt there be Quality control on something set to hit the market? Instead of rushing to be the first ones out of the gate, waiting for something to happen.

W.e like i said before i dont care. it is what it is. People love ms people hate nintendo i could care less i do enjoy each system. but i dont own them myself. my brother inlaw has 360 and wii that i play... I have any PS puts out.

"They are the kings of releasing sub par products.... then patching them over and over and over again."

Indeed, good thing you can just grab a PS3 where they'd NEVER think about releasing say, a half-assed online system and then slowly patch in small bits and pieces with constant firmware updates, each of which add a few things that should have been there from the get-go while at the same time breaking other stuff. And, you can rest assured that you'll be able to just go out and buy completed games on perfectly running servers all of which run perfectly and complete from day 1, just like The Orange Box, RSV2, GTA4, LBP, etc.

/sarcasm off

It's the 21st century dude, the age of the internet. Broken stuff can be fixed via updates now, deal with it. Hell, even the freaking non-online friendly Wii adds stuff like new channels via downloadable updates now.

*John Dimmagio voice over for whoever plays Marcus Fenix please.

*Mighty Rasta HAS to play Cole.

*The rest of the cast can be up and coming actors. I don't want another crappy Xmen fiasco. Halle Berry should NOT be in my Comic book movies!!!

Find a real Marine, kinda like R. Lee Ermey, to do the role. Out of the tens of thousands of current and former Marines, there's got to be a couple who can deliver a good line and probably bring more excitement to the role than most of the actors you could tap to do a Gears movie.

Don't blame Doom on the The Rock. He's decent given the role - see the great action flick The Rundown.

Gerard Butler for Marcus Fenix!

Is Cliffy implying that wrestlers aren't real actors? That's all they do when they're wrestling -- acting. Oh wait, you mean in the thespian sense. Got ya.

The Rock isn't that bad, especially compared to most wrestlers-turned-actors. He's got charisma, and he may be a little goofy at times, but not terrible. I don't think he'd make a good marcus fenix though.


Now Marky Mark...

Did anyone else get a sense of Gears of War while watching Clive Owen running around in the final scene of Children of Men? I'm not saying he's the right fit for the role of Marcus, just that the action had a video game level of intensity.

I personally think Randy Couture looks the part, but Nick Chinlund would be able to act and sound like a good Marcus Fenix.

Clive Owen would suck in this role. It must be all the Brits suggesting this crap. Give me the Diesel or the Rock. This would be perfect for Schwarzenegger and Stallone. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO AGE? Arghhhhhh

Im not gonna lie i licked grid iron gang. and doom was much better than a lot of other game movies. at least it was watchable. and at least they did the 1st person thing which i thought was cool for a 1st time. It wasnt the actors that ruined that movie it was the writing and screenplay.

I'm sure with some Hollywood magic John DiMaggio could just play the part.

As for DOOM, I saw the last 10 minutes on cable and that is all I will ever need to see of that movie

It'd have to be a real actor who has never played the game. No real actor will look forward to playing a character defined by that awful dialogue.

I think you should have thought ahead more Cliff. If the game had made the character more interesting, it'd help in getting good actors.

I'm sure. And the dialogue will likely be better (it could hardly be worse). But I doubt it's going to turn into Glengarry, Glen Ross.
