For shame Mr.Apol. For shame. Although in this context, it is slightly amusing. It better have some wicked one liners that include strange use of the Japanese language.

Given your handle, this statement is sort of funny! |
I've totally been waiting for somebody to say something about that so I could explain my handle.
I watch anime and all, but I dislike that whole mentallity that goes along with it. I'm also really into punk rock, but I don't act or dress like it. I threw the X in just for ridiculousness. Therefore, OtakupunkX.

From what I gathered from the trailer the Japanese people will be speaking in some kind of crazy mix of Japanese and English. It will be like every meeting of every anime club I've ever been to, only the Japanese will (hopefully) be used and pronounced correctly.
Perhaps some theaters will have a double feature of this and Snakes on a Plane, although Snakes on a Plane will be so much better than The Fast and The Furious 3. |

Yeah, it looks like a horrible movie, but I can certainly appreciate the "woo hoo Japan!" culture a lot more than whatever bad-boy culture they were trying to appeal to in the other two movies. It's a real life movie that's all about power slides! It's the perfect video game movie! Actually, I'd love to be the one in charge of making the video game adaptation. I'd put the camera close behind during straightaways and focus on bumping into cars and overtaking then move the camera up and back whenever there was a corner to focus on making the perfect slide. It would be awesome!

I quite liked Silent Hill. I haven't played the games, but I've read about the plots, and while I think the way they changed Dahlia and the cult and stuff made for a worse story (I can't be the only person who though Rose was being a dick in helping all that shit go down at the end of the film?), it generally seemed pretty good. It seemed to capture a lot of the general themes of the games, and stuff.
Although, not having played them through, that might be a gross exaggeration.
But, for example, I liked how the boundries between monsters and people blurred over time. To start with, the guys in mining suits seem like more of the town's crazy monsters - a bit like those contorted people wearing gas masks during the baby scene - but then you find out they're just the other survivors, and you're all "Oh!". And then they start burning people and you're all "No, wait... I was pretty much right first time!"
The big where the girl goes over the film so far and recaps everything was awful. It was like they thought we might have taken a week-long break during the film or something... PREVIOUSLY, ON SILENT HILL!... but if they're going to explain everything in excruciating detail, they could at least make some sense of Pyramid Head and the black vomit things. Especially the bit where Dahlia seems to summon PH to kill that girl. I kinda got the impression that he was supposed to be like the father figure that Alyssa never had but, you know, there's not really much to go off.
I dunno. Not the best film in the world, but it seemed to capture the feel of the game a lot better than countless other game adaptations. It was only really after the nurses that it started to really fall apart.
Oh, and the nurses totally reminded me of Space Channel 5, which was hilarious. |

Snakes on a Plane will pretty much be the paramount of modern film. At least if Samuel busts out "Get these MtherFucking Snakes off my MotherFucking plane!" Anime Clubs you say? Eww, I remember some of those from High School. They were very, stupid. No offense to you man, I like Anime and all, just the thought of clubs brings back some bad memories.

Apparently the studio refilmed scenes of the movie to add that one line in as well as extra snake violence. (speaking of SoaP - extended SoaP metaphor in The American Spectator)
As for the Anime Club thing, I got thrust into being the president of our school's club for reasons I don't remember. I hardly ever get to go, mainly because I have a job now. I end up sitting in the back playing on Photoshop (we meet in a computer lab) the whole meeting most of the time. As I've said before, I'm not a fan of the traditional "Otaku" attitude. |

The authentic Japanese meaning of otaku, or the horrible American corruption of the word?
Or do you just hate my house for some strange reason? |

Aww man, who would hate someone's house? I can't bring myself to go spend money to go see SIlent Hill. I suppose I will have to force myself.

I does indeed hate your house. Cardboard boxes in dark alleyways for the win. 
I really dislike the American version of the word, and being lumped in with those kind of people just because I happen to watch anime (not even on a regular basis) makes me angry.

I spent $20 the night I saw Silent Hill. I paid for my ticket as well as my dad's and my best friend's plus my dad's snacks that I ended up eating. It's really not that bad of a movie. Just don't wait for it to come out on DVD because I have a feeling it's going to be one of those movies that just doesn't work as well at home (i.e. Land of the Dead). |

I figured that was the definition you were referring to, I just wasn't sure. It's even worse when you let on that you're learning Japanese and people just assume you're part of the whole 'American otaku' thing. Ugh.
As far as the movie, I still want to see it, yet am still too broke. I heard a pretty horrific thing today--someone mentioned the nurses in the film as being very similar to the zombies in Michael Jackson's Thriller music video. Not that Thriller isn't completely awesome (it is!), it's just not the sort of thing I'd want to see in a true horror film. Especially considering purplechair's comment on the likeness to Space Channel 5, I'm a little worried that the scene referred to could be more than a little campy. |

Personally, I thought the nurse monsters were interesting. They didn't use CG on them at all, so they fit into the movie better than some of the other monsters. |

Some awesome pictures from the SH movie opening in Japan. Edit: This is actually from the early screening. It opens on July 8th.
Yay... a. sequel.
| Quote: | | Yamaoka said, "I want to expect it of the sequel of the movie". |
TRANSLATION MADNESS! Something about the potential for a sequel on a next gen system.
| Quote: | I asked Mr. Yamaoka for the production of the game in the next generation machine age at the end. The Horror game in PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 age is places in which it asked how to think the change. ｢There is a feature like the network and online, etc. if it is a controller it, PS3, and Xbox 360 in case of Wii even if it is called the next generation machine. How about Horror ..'.. usually in the next generation machine?Ask..online..end.However, I am not then that much, experience the story by the player, and have the presentiment into which the frame of the game that has not been changing up to now at all since the worth family computer age is changed. Might what it said that make something done by its handling the controller of Wii, and think by me that do not want to make it by it of the Horror game because of the conception that want to do to be a new game though might the one it be expressible by the use of the quality of PS3.

最後に山岡氏に次世代機時代におけるゲームの制作について伺ってみた。プレイステーション 3やXbox 360時代におけるホラーゲームはどう変わっていくと考えているのか伺ったところ「次世代機と言っても、Wiiであればコントローラ、PS3やXbox 360であればネットワークやオンラインといった特徴がありますよね。普通に『次世代機でホラーってどうですか?』と問われれば『オンラインじゃないですか』で終わってしまうかもしれない。でも、僕はそれだけじゃなく、プレーヤーがストーリーを体感したりといったファミコン時代からこれまでまったく変わっていないゲームの枠を変えられる予感がありますね。それが、Wiiのコントローラを使って何かさせると言ったことかもしれないし、PS3のクオリティをつかって表現できるものかもしれないけれど、新しいゲームにしたいという発想でホラーゲームを作りたいなと思いますね」と語ってくれた。 |

Okay, I'm totally in love with the third nurse from the right, the one with the long black hair.
Also from that quote, does it seem like he's basically saying "it would be cool to make the sequel for the wii but I'd rather make it for the PS3 because of GRAPHIX" right?
Fucking shit, if Silent Hill 5 is a PS3 exclusive I'll HAVE to buy one.

I don't know, the woman standing next to P. Head wearing the black shoes and who doesn't have anything covering her face is pretty damn cute. |
