NiGHTMARE Posted March 10, 2005 Bloodshedder said:Actually, it seems as if Kristus was describing the the types of characters they most often play, rather than their actual personalities. "They fall into the big muscular moron bin", not "their characters always/usually fall into the big muscular moron bin". Besides, some of Arnie's characters are supposed to be pretty clever... I mean, I'd hardly say the Terminator was an idiot ;). Fredrik said:IQ tests are an objective way to measure intelligence only if you define intelligence to be that which is measured by IQ tests. "For certain areas, such as academic achievement and job performance, an IQ score is the best-known single predictor of success" - Wikipedia.org Anyway, stupid people do poorly in IQ tests, clever people do well.

Fredrik Posted March 11, 2005 Though they are surely related, I would not equate intelligence with "academic achievement" and "job performance". 0 Share this post Link to post

If you had done so, this useless discussion about IQ wouldn't have even started. 0 Share this post Link to post

Once you go down that road you can't go back, at least not for about 10 years. You can't unfuck something.

NiGHTMARE Posted March 11, 2005 Although it doesn't exactly look much like him, apparently Karl Urban aka the main character is the guy standing directly to the right of the Rock. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ralphis Posted March 11, 2005 Cyb said:^^^^ Chuck Noris And the Rock actually can act, but his range is pretty limited (pretty much limited to huge quiet guy (like in the Rundown) or a variation of the character he played in the WWF (which is something like raging moron in a speedo)). He's certainly a better actor than Ahnuld, and everyone loves him, rite? Actually, apparently he plays a role that is neither of these in some movie coming out where he plays a fag. (however someone will certainly call wrestlers gay below this post). He probably hasn't been given the opportunity to do anything other than those two types of roles yet. 0 Share this post Link to post

It looks exactly like him! Google for some pics or go watch something with him in it thats NOT Lord of the freaking Rings. And the chick to the far back left is Rosamund Pike. And of course the picture is a crewshot, you really think there's gonna be a bit in the movie where they all line up pretty for you to look at like that? 0 Share this post Link to post

DO YAAAA SMMELLLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN? Yeah you got that right. Actually a lot of wrestlers are really good actors. Reason being: they have to act all the time in front of millions of people. If they mess up, there are no take 2's. I thought HHH played a good part in Blade Trinity, and I think the rock might do okay in the new DooM movie as well. Afterall, he does know his role right?

dsm Posted March 12, 2005 Bah, SWAT-type uniforms and generic assault rifles - boring. Where's Doom 3's kickass combat outfit and badass three-barrelled Enforcer 88 machineguns? I'm not gonna judge the movie itself on this shot, but it has left a bad impression on me all the same. 0 Share this post Link to post
june gloom Posted March 12, 2005 no, it looks like just a single shot. wait until you see more before you pass judgement. hell, the whole "mutants+olduvai" thing is just a popular rumour, it's not proven fact. 0 Share this post Link to post

Dadel Posted March 16, 2005 I am afraid this movie is gonna be just as bad as Resident Evil 2 or Alone in the Dark.. I hope I am wrong 0 Share this post Link to post
Bastet Furry Posted March 16, 2005 What was bad about RE2?!? Maybe you did see the wrong movie or what? When you want to see a bad movie try "The Promise" with Jack Nickelson. If i got the name wrong: A retired police officer is going after a case of child abuse and morder. He buys a gas station in that area. He promises one of the victim families that he will hunt down the abuser. He get a girlfriend and "abuses" the child of the mother for hunting the child abuser. At the end the abuser gets killed in an accident and the officer waits forever for the abuser. He gets drunk and his life is destroyed. What a lame story above all the ending :-/ I almost slept over watching this one in german class. And the ending, just shit. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dadel Posted March 16, 2005 You probably mean "The Pledge" with Jack Nicholson. But that was very different type of movie (old school crimi). I´ve seen it. Nothing special, but it was definitely NOT a shit. But I am afraid "Doom" is gonna be typical Hollywood shit with bunch of cheap CGI effects, horrible acting (The Rock? Phew..he can´t act!) and stupid script that has almost nothing to do with original game. Just like "Alien vs. Predator" - Anderson almost raped the spirit of alien and predator movie series. And Bartkowiak has never made decent movie either... 0 Share this post Link to post
