A Thousand Ways to Kill a Movie

While nearly all movie adaptations of games have sucked hard in the past, there is always the few that can actually turn the eye of the gamer, bar the Dead or Alive katana wielding bikini babes.

The old school Hitman series began November of 2000, while rated a pretty crappy game, Hitman 2 in 2002 brought much attention to the series. The combination of finely executed stealth and brutal killing of a contracted hitman, completing the mission with no more than a single bullet if executed in perfection earned the series many fans.

More and more games are being picked up by Hollywood for a quickly, and thrown to the side after the rabid fans anal rape the resulting film for not sticking to the original. Hitman the movie will not be coming to theaters for a while, and neither will the Halo movie, nor the Gears of War movie, or the Prince of Persia movie, but it sure is the first one we'll be able to see, or not see.

Check out the Movie's Trailer:

It looks good for a game-movie standard, albeit one too many explosions.

In other news, I picked up a sweet and expensive camera today, the Sony DSC W80.


Having picked it up after a 5 minute talk with the sales rep, it was pretty much an impulse buy, but what the hell, I have no camera. While the camera came with no carrying case, I did get a kinky looking tripod with the repair plan.



Tomorrow is figure picture time.
