The Press Start cartoons are funny, but it is so hard to justify watching this movie to your friends when the actors look like this. #pressstart2continue

You kidding? When the actors look like that, it's hard to convince my friends to watch anything else. #pressstart2continue

And yes, that is the greatest sequel title in history. #pressstart2continue

Was Lana worth watching at least? Small thighs aside?

1. It wasn't twice the price of DVD equal, with little to show for it, except the occasional digital version of the movie I honestly don't want. Oh, and the useless features that I really don't want to have to pay for weather I want to or not. BD-Live? Really? I can record my own commentary? I'm sure someone might use it, but I don't want it, and don't want to have to pay for luxuries I wont use.
2. The downloadable alternatives weren't so appealing. I mean, why buy what I can rent?
3. This one means the most, my household has ONE blu-ray playing device, and ONE HDTV. So unless they drop to $50, I can't see my family investing in one till they're as afordable as DVD equal, or at least a little closer.

I wonder if Cavs owner Dan Gilbert would consider buying them?

Kinda like those of us who revel at our awesome vinyl collections that fill our walls, and a McIntosh rack to compliment it!
When you sit and think about it, it makes an iPod with a Docking station and speakers look very simple in comparison.
I imagine that audiophiles, videophiles and arcadeophiles alike would say the same. There is something about having a hardcopy that gives one a piece of mind, knowing that they can always come back to said game at a later time and play it.

The thing about optic disks, and their 15 year deteriorate breakdown is that the results may vary. I know this because I have CDs that were about since the late 80s to present that still work in pretty good condition. That also includes my TurboGrafx/PC Engine CDs, as well as other optic discs in my collection. (Nevermind cartridges that still work good as new to this day from consoles that I've collected at various vintage shops, like Big Fun in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

Don't. It's not worth the bandwidth.

i heard the movie was shit and i went into it with very very low expectations, just hoping for a decent action movie at the least.
i was so disappointed... if you haven't seen this movie yet, do yourself a big favour and DON'T, the movie is NOTHING like the game... they didn't take anything from the game that would have made a great movie! i was gutted after watching it, John Moore ruined Max Payne and deserves bad things to happen to him... he is a complete moron who must never have played the game, otherwise he would have known the change the entire cinematics and story of the film based on the original.. bringing back the comic strip story telling and monologues
sorry to rant, but i just find it so hard to believe that somebody could turn a great story from a great game, into a pathetic movie... if John Moore watches his film and thinks to himself "yes, i have achieved what i set out to, and this is a honour to the computer game" then he does not deserve to be a director, he should be disgusted with himself.
just to let you know i loved the Hitman games also, and i went into the Hitman movie with really low expecations also... but at least Hitman delivered an entertaining movie based on a game that didn't have a huge plot. not like Max Payne... damn you Moore, damn you! you moron!
right rant over... don't buy this movie

Exactly my state of my mind when I started watching the movie...
So here's a Public Service Announcement: no matter how low your expectations are, lower them some more and... they still won't be low enough.

But how, how, HOW could they mess up one of the only games that was pretty much already a movie? Goddamn you Hollywood directors, stop trying to 'improve' things. You fucking suck, fish crackers.

You... you dont know what MST3K is? And you use the internet?
You, sir, need to do a little bit of reading and downloading. Try searching for 'Mystery Science Theatre 3000'. Don't watch the movie until after you've seen a bunch of eps and get the premise (they basically watch and make fun of really, really bad movies).
