They did it again - Off-topic

They screwed Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Superman, Hulk, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Legend of Chun-Li (yeah, I know, WTF? What Lana doing with Balrog?), Hitman, Super Mario Bros....
And now they went and screwed up the unscrewable...I mean, how hard is it for someone to adapt Dragonball to the big screen??!!!!! I have read reviews, and they are not favorable...oh, Hollywood, why couldn't you have learned from the Frenchies (bonjour mes amis!)

Film List
Here's the list of the HD movies i have. 1080 & 720. you can use this as start.
Haven't made a list yet for my stdd dvdrips, documentaries, cartoons, animations, tv series, standup comedies, kids stuff. if you want i can do a simple cmd prompt dir list. pm me if interested.
For the ultimate movie db, youre gonna need much more than 2TB. and you will probably need some RAID mode because losing your main drive will drive you nuts.
I have a 8TB NAS on Raid 5 (6.5TB usable) and it's 70% full already.
If you have the WD TV Live, you can access your media via LAN instead of local USB, it's much more flexible and you wont need to invest in media centre.

Weirdest Movie You've Seen

What's the weirdest movie you've ever seen? For me, it's Outlander. It's about an alien that comes to Earth during the Middle Ages and teams up with Vikings to kill an alien dragon that stowed away on his ship.
Please include the title and a brief explanation of what's weird.
___
An army of pacifists can be defeated by one man with the will to fight.
A Scanner Darkly
Just because of the filming method.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405296/plotsummary
The Human Centipede. Think about it..
Splice. Everything.
The Dark Crystal. A dark Jim Henson
Eternal sunshine on the spotless mind, no doubt about it
Human centipede is pretty weird but for me its going to be dumplings.
Bai ling is a sorceress of eternal youth who sells said youth to wealthy chinese women. Her secret? Dumplings stuffed with diced abortions.
See bai ling in other screenings including the crow and entourage.

Oh come on guys. There is a thread about weird movies and not a single mention of Japanese films?
Robo Geisha... nuff said.
Bad Boy Bubby. - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106341/
Seriously effed up...
A Scanner Darkly - classic Phillip K. ****
Bladerunner - another P.K.D.
A Clockwork Orange - Stanley Kubrick, nuff said
Dr. Strangelove - Kubrick again
Watchmen - alternate reality superheros
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - ummm... Hunter S. Thompson
Soylent Green - It's people! People!
A Boy and His Dog - telepathic canine, underground society, Don Johnson
Human centipede looks just... wrong
Simon Says was a creeper!
How about movies that weren't intended to be weird but are (like Outlander). Because if you include intentionally weird movies, I'd have to say Ink. It's on Netflix instant and it's not bad.
___

For me gamer and the human centipede. Gamer just too outta line and human centipede is just to yucky

MMA fans?

Anyone here a fan of Mixed Martial Arts.
Big MMA companies included the UFC, Strikeforce, Bellator, and DREAM. Though their are plenty of others.
Anyone on XDA an MMA fan? Feel free to post videos and images but keep it clean, or as clean as MMA can get.
Here is one of my favorite fights, this an older one, the Ultimate Fighter 1 Light Heavyweight Finale between Forest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar. These two just brawl for most of the 15 minutes.
http://rutube.ru/tracks/4546616.html
A more recent video, Nick Diaz vs Paul Daley, which would probably get round of the year, great fight over all.

What 1997 films and games was Dead Space based on?

What 1997 films and games was Dead Space based on?
Come on.... someone must know.
And no.. the wiki page is filled with lies.
-Clue's to help you-
Shodan
Louis and Clarke
1997
Come on... almost 100 views.
Someone must know.
I will reveal the answer soon..
But someone must have been able to see the connections.
Here's a few a more clue's.
"movie"
She tore a hole in our universe. a gateway to another to a dimension. a dimension of pure chaos.. pure evil.
When she crossed over she was just a ship but when she came back.. she was alive.
Look at her miller isn't she beautiful.
"game"
Look at you hacker.
A pathetic creature of meat and bone.. panting and sweating as you run thru my corridors..
Don't google... just don't.
If you really must know... google those phrases.
I've never heard of dead space
- this sig is just so I don't have to write 10char when on my phone -
Event horizon?
And by the way I didn't google it..
I just remembered you raving about EH before....

Nice someone is awake..
The game how ever is system shock 2..
These space explorers discover these eggs "artifact" that is brought back on ship.
Those eggs "artifact" infects the crew and turns the ship into a living nightmare.
"pretty much the same story.. as dead space"
I have yet to get the wiki page to show this... it's pissing me off because very few ppl remember the story for SS2.
To prove this further... EA bought the SS2 licenses.
Pretty wicked story idea... considering the Sci-fi time line.
The game was a FPS-RPG and even had co-op play.
Deus EX 3 and BioShock silently pay homage to SS2 by bringing back some elements from SS2
Very awesome time in 1997 for me.
Now ask yourself... why haven't i heard of these games...
Well Half Life was blinding fps kiddies.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The similarities between Event Horizon and Dead Space however.
Are way more evil... there are sound effects stolen
The space suits are almost a rip mix of the big daddy meets EH space suit.
The locking mechanism sound for the bolt gun used in EH is used for a weapon in DS
Strangely some sounds from ss2 are ripped for weapons as well.
Wait.. what.. something that wasn't meant to be a weapon being used to kill monsters.. how ironic.
These are facts... EA cannot lie and deny any further.
post of insanity updated.^^^^
Developers had inspired to different games and horror movies, especially to movies like "Event Horizon", "Alien", "The Thing", and videogames like "Resident Evil" and the "Silent Hill" saga. The director David Fincher had been mentioned as inspiration too.

System shock 2 have you played it? "behold the true insanity revealed"
Origins are origins.. do not deny.
