Another Metroid?!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I'm imaging the horrible dialouge the Space Pirates will get, and it is scary. (Do you think they could have an entire movie where the heroine never once exchanges words with the enemy?)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Metroid Fussion had alot of dialog, I liked it. :)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Of course! And it's going to rule!!!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I cannot think of a more meritorious choice to direct a Metroid movie than David Cronenberg. It'll never happen in a million years, but think of how fucking awesome it would be. If not, then I'll settle for Ridley Scott.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Alex Proyas could do a good job, judging from how he handled the Prime commercial.</div>

Hmm. What makes you say that? Nothing on here really stands out to me in relation to this.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Please understand that my imagination is pretty fucked up. My idle vision of a Metroid movie involves lots of weird stuff, particularly concerning the parasitic nature of the Metroids themselves. I'd like to see the concept of their feeding off creatures' "life forces" twisted to an extreme nature. It'd definitely be pretty gross, since I sheepishly dig that sort of thing. Try watching Cronenberg's "The Fly" to see what I mean.

In the end, however, nothing matters if the story isn't any good. David Cronenberg has made a few clunkers, but I trust him to have a better chance of making a great movie than most other directors I can think of. Even his failures (ExistenZ, for instance) are at least interesting to watch.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I realize now that I've been a Cronenberg fan for a long time without even knowing who he was. His style seems to be getting a bit dated though.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>What do you mean?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>He seems to prefer the whole rubber-and-latex look which looks like it's on its way out</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>ExistenZ was a nice movie. I don't think of that one as a failure.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>"Okay, THIS is real. ... Ha-ha, no it's not! THIS is reality. ... Wait, gotcha again!" It got old.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah. There's only so many "that was false!" twists you can have before you stop being surprised and start being annoyed. It can be very sloppy.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>If you're going to do that sort of thing, there should be clues. Someone who is paying attention should be able to figure out what is going on. Otherwise, it's a cheap plot-twist.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Wasn't that the problem with The Usual Suspects?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I understand what you're saying, but it was done very well and it still makes sense on a rewatch. Also, it was the only twist - as opposed to a sucession of twists.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>But, the twist was cheap, and it made me feel cheated, like any moron could write that kind of twist in to turn a dull movie into an "awesome" blockbuster.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I've seen The Fly, and it is quite disturbing at times.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>If the Space Pirates fuck pastries I"m going to firebomb the theatre.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Ridley and Kraid, have to get laid.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>the people they chose to direct are not a good choice in my opinion, American Pie and final destination,,,,,,,,,, =o( wtf do they know of metriod</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Actually, those guys are just the producers, just get the money behind the project.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Fuck it...just give me Jolie for Samus. Mmmmmmm....</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Ugh, unwanted associations with Tomb Raider.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I would say that's a very wanted association with Tomb Raider!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I didn't think it was cheap. I've never watched to see if there are clues during the movie, but it is consistent.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>There are no clues. That's the problem. At least M. Night gave you clues about Sixth Sense.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>You're probably right, and I think it's a shame. I've yet to see really well-done computer gore.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Actually, I guessed the twist at the end of Usual Suspects from one of the first scenes</div>
