Evening Reading: 3D 3D
by Greg Mueller, Jan 08, 2010 5:00pm PSTHere's a fresh chatty for you all to enjoy on this Friday night. We've had our ups and we've had our downs, but it's been a pretty good first week to start off the new year. It will no doubt be remembered as vividly and with the same fondness as all the other first-weeks-of-the-year past. That is, not much at all.
The weekend is almost upon us. May yours be as fun and exciting as an endless stream of sharp news, snappy headlines, and witty comments from Faylor, Alice, Garnett, Jeff, and the rest of the Shack.
In case you missed it, here's a taste of all the fun and excitement we had today:
HUGELY disappointed with that POS! Possibly the most unimaginative movie I've ever seen. I'm excited that the 3D tech exists, but please make a good movie with it now!

However, I believe that 90% of all the movie plots in existence can be traced back to Shakespeare in one form or another, so all plots are derivative to some extent.
People on the Shack went apeshit about Iron Man, when really all it was is Spider-Man or a hundred different other superhero movies poured into a different glass. Mixed with Robocop.
People on the Shack went apeshit about The Dark Knight when we've literally seen the Joker plotline done before - in other movies in our lifetime even - dozens of times.
People on the Shack desperately want to see HL2:EP3 even though it's just an additional six hours of a game we've played already.
People on the Shack would give their left nut to play DNF even though it's probably a high tech retread of a game we played 12 years ago and with a wafer thin story.
That sucks that you didn't like the movie, but I don't think being derivative or unimaginative with the story is a bad thing - just because something is similar to what came before it doesn't mean that it can't be good.
