Personally I prefer frozen hot chocolate.  Sounds weird, but it is good!

I love that stuff. I had my first taste of it over the summer and it was awesome, I now have all my friends hooked on it too lol

Hmm...I've never heard of/thought of doing/trying that ---BUT---; since I love me some good iced-coffee, it stands to reason that I'd probably like it

So, I've been told by the girl that I've been dating for the last month or so (nothing *very* serious; mostly casual relationship) that, as part of my birthday present/"birthday-package"...

*NOTE* - (My B-Day is next Thurs. 10-25) & the "Silent Hill" 3-D movie comes-out on the day after my B-Day (10-26)

...she's going to be taking me/treating me to go & see the new Silent Hill move (along w/ breakfast @ I.H.O.P, late-lunch/early-dinner 'buffet' / with a "Mystery/Who-done-it" dinner show in Atlantic City, some gambling in the casinos, staying-over in a nice suite (with some nice, late-night room-service champagne)...and ending the next morning w/ a nice, lazy breakfast in bed (room service, again) kind of thing.

Anywhoo...the main point/question(s) here are:

(1).  Is anyone else thinking about/planning to go see this movie?,

(2).  What kind of expectations/lack of expectations do you have about this movie?
        - Since, as we all very well know, good/great games do not, in any way, *Usually* translate as well into other & different types of media(s).

(3).  Did anyone see the other Silent Hill movie(s)? / How were they?

(4).  How many other Silent Hill movies have there been before this one - What/Which Silent Hill games were they based-on?
        - For that matter, which game/games is this new one based-on?, and

(5).  Lastly, feel free to talk about/tell the rest of us here about *ANY* other movies that were based-on video games, name & talk-about different ones (I'm sure that there have been tons of "Video-Games-Turned-Into-Movies" that I'm unaware of)...and...of course...which of these movies were good, great, and/or terrible?!

P.S.

- Since I haven't yet had the time/chance to watch my Blu-Ray copy of FF: Advent Children and/or my regular DVD of whatever-the-name-is of that "other" "Final Fantasy"-based movie...I'd also appreciate it if those of you here who *have* seen them could take the time to also talk about them (I'm not at all concerned about *Spoilers*)...what they're about, what you liked/didn't like about them, etc...

As always, Thanks!

I still say that this thread will just become too overloaded with stuff to really be worthwhile but whatever makes you happy I guess.

It just seems like the stuff posted in here so far would be better suited to the Off Topic area.

I agree that it might be better suited for off-topic, just so people know that the thread may or may not contain game-related discussion.

But it also sounds like y'all want some sort of community chat room

Most of the video game movies suck. Final fantasy the spirits within really does suck. Advent Children however is freaking fantastic.

I'm going to move this thread to Off-Topic since it's not really about video games.

... or at least I tried, there doesn't seem to be a move function available to me. o_o

...Really?!

...Why??...it's a "general" thread (in the "general" section) --and-- (I'm guessing) that the majority of it will end up being related to gaming/collecting in one way or another...

...but...whatevs/

Happy Birthday to my fellow October babies!  I turned 36 on the just over a week ago.

I like the idea of an off-topic thread, though I'd advise it steer away from controversial subjects like politics and religion.  In the Spring, I left a forum I'd been an involved member of for 8 years due to a fight I got into with other members over politics.

General as in video gaming general. The thread's been way off-topic about video games since it began, more or less.

Yeah there are a few subjects I refuse to participate in. Religion and politics are definitely 2 of them. I also steer clear of xbox discussions.

Xbox discussions?

[disgaeniac]

Yeah...thinking about it, it doesn't really matter to me if it's in "general" or if it's in "off-topic".

Maybe if/when we move it to "off-topic"; we could re-name it something that I like better than my original title...like..."Collector's Corner"?!

Also, sure, I agree w/ everyone just using their common sense to avoid religious/political arguments, etc.
Actually, more along the lines of what desocietas said, like a "social"/"chat"-type of community thread.

@Soera:

What was Advent Children & The Spirits Within about?
