***DVD Review DOOM*******

[Worf101]

Ohh's and ahhs as Worfster munches popcorn gleefully watching the best best "Cat Fight" this side of "Project Runway".

Picks up cell phone and calls Kam, Smokey, Recovery and Kex to tell them to bring some beers and soda as the contest is heatin' up.

The lights come back on. GM, DM & Sir TT have formed a circle (triangle) around Worf. They get closer, & closer & BAM! The lights go out again.

...but where were you a week-and-a-half ago when I bought this thing
I read an article that says that while DVD sales as a whole were up last year that new release sales were down. While the absence of several " blockbuster new releases " no doubt contributed to this,I suspect the outpouring of films like this is a factor as well. It gets a little old validating your purchase by declaring it a "reference quality" source for your system. Oh well, I'll get around to watching DOOM again...sometime in 2008. Too bad, because I agree with your assessment of the Rock's potential.
I think I will postpone a few purchases until your input is in. Thanks for your time SirTT

Actually it is of reference quality technically. Artistically it is also of reference quality. Its just a reference that you never want to repeat in life because it is so bad. I never need to validate my purchases, after all, it is my money right? If I don't like it, I just set the DVD out in my next yard sale. I make killer bucks selling DVD's with poor acting in them.

OK, I finally sat down and watched this thing yesterday, and I am completely underwhelmed. This could have been a pretty enjoyable movie, much in the same vein as Aliens, but instead it quickly dissolved into a half-assed, run of the mill, made for tv sci-fi movie with bad language. There were simply too lapses in basic logic such as:

1) An elite military team that doesn't wear helmets, neither moves nor acts with the precision of a response team, doesn't have night vision (Hello? We have that NOW!), and displays the same discipline as an unmonitored kindergarten class.

2) A hottie scientist that refuses to wear a bra (not that it's a bad thing)

3) What? They don't have lights in huge, corporate research facilities?

There's more. Oh boy, is there more...but you get the drift. This could have been decent. This could have been revolutionary (the first person scene is pretty cool), instead it's just bad. Not The Island bad, but pretty close.

What was that second piont again?

There's gun shots, screams, the sounds of broken furniture... stars, whisltles, explosions. Cat's and dogs living together... then... silence....

Da Plot thickens...

The lights flicker back on. The walls are smashed, the cooler is all over the floor, water everywhere, but there's no one in sight. You can hear the clickity clicks of workers typing away on their computers. No one seems to be aware that anything has happened. The water cooler guys walks in. He sees the mess and starts laughing uncontrollably. He throws two more containers of water into the room and walks out. The company's VP walks into the hall, sees the mess and walks back in his office. There's an eerie feeling. A losty runs by with two taily's chasing. One slips on the water and then vanishes. Silence again.

[JSE]

Stops by water cooler to see what's going on with the guys. Sees all the destruction and water everywhere. Thinks to himself, "some things never change". Starts to walk out door but stops upon hearing a strange......printing sound. Looks backs over his shoulder and sees the old, discontinued, out of date, refurbished "unplugged" Lexmark 3200 printer sitting in the corner printing something out. Thinks about seeing what it is, but decides to run like hell.

[GMichael]

Hears the printing outside his office door. Walks out & up to the lil' printer. Reaches down and picks up the glove on the floor. It's dripping on the printer. 16 pages of some review are piling up next to it. A quick glance shows that it's about some B vampire movie that had a budget of dozens of dollars. The printer is still going at it. Up to 23 pages now. Most of it is in ALL CAPS. Walks back to office. Sees Sir TT on the way. Motions that he should look out here. Then goes back to work.

Sir T see's the little outdated printer going at it with another overly long review. He opens up the top, reaches in and grabs the dusty piece of craps toner cartridge and rips it out. The silly little printer just keeps going. He reaches into the little outdated hockey puck and begins ripping the guts out of the poor little thing. By the time he is finished, the little POS is in many pieces. Sir T has a sh!tty grin on his face as the little printer is in pieces still trying to work. He glances at his handy work and utters these words under his breath "life is good", and walks away.
