If Hollywood messes with ME lore......... 

 

Yeah, 'cause it's not like BioWare crapped all over the lore.

The only way that I can see ME on the big screen is to either be sped up to fit the enitrity of ME1 into one sitting or to slow it way downn. To the point where ME1 would take up to three movies. The first would end with Saren and Lady Benezia, the second would end with Shepard finding out about the conduit. The third would be him trying to stop Saren and THEN finding out about the reapers.

$40 with snacks? How many ****ing snacks are you eating? I go to a rather expensive theater to see most movies and I've never paid $40. And why are you assuming a Mass Effect movie would condense all 3 games into a single movie?

Nag, nag, nag.

You're worse than a nanny goat.

You must eat like a goat if you're shoveling $25-$30 worth of snacks down your gullet during a single movie.

You seem to think that's a lot for snacks. I'm guessing you don't go out much or have a condition. Diabetes for example.

Or worse, you actually go to the movies alone.

Anyone who says Mass Effect (1) couldn't be adapted into an excellent movie is a d---n fool like the doofus they hired to write the screen play who ultimately gave up. Just look at all of the cool fan edits for evidence of that. I'm a fan and even I wouldn't give two s***s about some irrelevant side story by some Hollywood hack, some trend following cash grab with a thin veneer of Mass Effect paint. Either go big or go home.

 

Mass Effect series started out like my generations new hope and slowly turned into Phantom Menance by the end. I wan't this story to be done justice with the budget, writer, director, middle act and ending it deserves. Complete do-over from ME2 onwards.

No Android S7 edge. My auto correct give me away?

Edit : Yep, found one. Good grief, more than one.

Where I live that's not actually going to get you a ton of snacks at a movie theater. It's a bit above average, but it'll probably run you about $20 per person for snacks which is really just popcorn and a drink(maybe a chocolate bar).

 

They're such a massive rip off here I'll just sneak my own snacks in I bought at the convenience store for like $5.

I can get 2 large large drinks, a large popcorn and one of those big boxes of M&M's for $15 at my usual theater. I don't(I usually just get a small drink and no snacks because I don't like eating while watching movies), but I can. But you're moving the goalpost, acting like you were talking about $40 being the cost for multiple people.

And I actually do go to the movies by myself frequently. I enjoy watching movies alone because I'm not interested in anyone's company when the entire point of the activity is to ignore everything else and watch what's in front of me. I love going to an early screening by myself on a weekday.

I live in one of the more expensive areas of one of the more expensive cities in the US and even here $20 gets you a hell of a lot more than a popcorn and a drink. I've never even heard of concessions that expensive. That's like the exaggerated numbers people use to make bad jokes about how expensive it is.

The weirdness of the corrections instantly made me think of iOS. My iPhone sometimes auto-corrects real words into other words for no reason whatsoever. And the feature always turns itself back on even though I always turn it off.

I have a quad! I have the courage to go to a theatre by myself and sit through a movie, and not feel embarrassed! I have a bigger quad than you, my Krogan friend!

Must be the dollar theater

Well I also live in Canada.

 

Food in general tends to be more expensive and come in smaller sizes here. It's not even just limited to theaters.

London is more expensive than the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Everything costs 2 arms and 2 legs in London. Even the crappy areas are insanely expensive.

"Hollywood hack"

 

"Trend following cash grab"

 

These two things are an inevitability. If Star Wars Ep 9 can't land a decent director, any Mass Effect film sure as hell won't, either.

 

And do you really think a movie based on a story with, let's face it, a good amount of variability, is gonna please even a minority of the fans? I don't want to see John Shepard, soldier/renegade douchebag's story writ large. I want Sarah Shepard, vanguard and paragon. What about that crucial love story? The Talimancers will call in an airstrike.

If anyone's likely to do Mass Effect justice, it's Bioware (I know how funny that sounds), in their chosen medium. Any film adaptation will inevitably trash the source material in favor of making the film palatable to film audiences, who are, incredibly, more numerous, more protitable, and more fickle than gamers. If it achieves even a modicum of success, that success will in turn inform the direction of future games, just as the earth shattering success of Disney's Marvel schlock has negatively informed the creative direction of the comics that inspired them.

 

Honestly, the absolute best case for a Mass Effect film is it gets assigned a "good" director like the aforementioned Whedon (ugh) and ends up as predictable, safe, and forgettable as every last one of these goddamn Marvel films.

 

I want to say nobody wants that to happen, but I know I'm wrong.

Well to be specific the problem with video games movies is often that they are either very silly and goofy or watered down and just a generic epic Hollywood movie.

 

There's never really been one that maintained the video game feel while also being a cinematic movie.
