SXSW Review: Stop-Loss

Mar 16th 2008 9:26PM (Cinematical)
I'm just going to say this. Maybe some of the war movies being made today would make more of an impact if they occasionally consulted with somebody in the military.

Just by looking at that screenshot I can tell the movie will be filled with so many inaccuracies as to make any point its trying to make suspect.

We hear you, no more Wii at the inn

Holy crap. I live in Farmington, NM. I got my Wii from the EB though.

Ability to demo more important than price in selling games

Welcome to the world of "Duh."

Oblivion PSP: less tromp, more romp

No, it'll suck because the Elder Scrolls series is about exploring. Without the wide open spaces, it becomes a very boring hack-and-slash with boring dungeons.

Uwe Boll does something awful to another critic

Hey, Jack, how is Janet Reno doing these days?

Well, we are seeing direct effect taking place here.

Internet nerds talk shit, and feel safe behind their keyboard when they talk about kicking somebodies ass.

They just found out that clever does not equal tough. I really don't understand why they thought they could beat up an ex-boxer. They make their living on the internet, you'd think they would've Googled that info beforehand.

Has American McGee earned the right to present anything?

Is American McGee your dad, or what?

Yes, I have in fact played Doom, Alice and played the demo for Bad Day LA. Judging from the critial and commerical reception of all his games to date, I am hardly alone in my opinon.

Apparently, another person who happens to be more famous than I shares the same opinon. Shocking. I guess I ought to never have opinons that coincide with anybody elses.

American McGee, by my estimation and the estimation of nearly every game critic creates a mediocre product. That alone does not automatically grant him derision, but his behavior in interviews painting himself as a misunderstood genius does.

Nobody here was credited on Doom, so I suppose we have no right to ever critize another game, ever. Any movie reviewer that has not produced a top ten grossing film should never review another movie. Astounding logic.

I have been called far worse by better people than you. I do love your concise reasoning however. Thanks!

I've made the Todd McFarlane-American McGee connection several times here. Glad to see I'm not alone in seeing it.

Also, the marketing is only successful if the name inspires confidence in the brand/product. Nothing American McGee has done inspires confidence, rather it is a warning sign that the game so marked, will be nigh unplayable.

What was his one claim to fame, outside of being part of a TEAM on Quake II? Making Alice in Wonderland creepy? Way to add spikes to a nuclear bomb. Lewis Carrol needs no help in being creepy or disturbing.

I rarely advocate violence against anybody, but I sincerely wish American McGee wanted to go mano-a-mano, Uwe Boll style.

From his presumption that his games have not, to a one, been entirely without merit or playability , to his snarky behavior and suspect "urban nerd" style of dress, he demands a beatdown. Him speaking about the quality of gaming is like Simple Plan talking about their great music.

When people like Miyamoto and Kojima do not place their name on their games, it's because the quality speaks for itself. American has to put his name on his product because it is the only source of distinction for his straight to the bargain bin crap.
