Brilliant film makes money, bad one doesn’t! 😁

Borderlands only opens with $8m. Ouch!

      Street Fighter was OK, wasn’t it? I’m asking because I haven’t seen it since I was a teenager and my sensibilities may have changed since then.

      It’s bizarre to me. Hollywood has generally figured out that if a book sells really well that you shouldn’t fuck with the movie version any more than you have to. If you gotta jiggle a few things around for pacing, fine.

      But they’ll still absolutely torch a video game story to "make it better"with no comprehension of the source material and it’s literally never ever worked.

      TV figured it out w/ The Last of Us and Fallout.
