Resident Evil: Extinction

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Looks like a smidge of Road Warrior in there.

Leeloo knows about a truck that can haul that tankah of guzzoline.

Hmmmmm. I have to wonder why anyone would still be in Vegas after the end of the world. The only appeal to that region is legalized gambling and cheap electricity, neither of which applies in apocolypictic circumstances. And not having any water or even the slimist hope of agriculture has got to be a bitch.

I wonder how they're going to rationalize it.

King rationalized it by saying "sinners" were drawn there.

Here, maybe that's where the cure can be found?

Ugh, after the last flick, this series simply can't get any worse. Unless they bring in Uwe Boll to guest-direct.

Well, in The Stand the lights were still on and things were still operating, so Vegas was still cool.

As to the cure being there, maybe ... but it'll be a hard sell, IMO.

Retards around the country, and the world, think Area 51 is some sort of top secret alien lab. Considering that it's near Vegas...

Resident Evil : Apocalypse was one of the shittiest action flicks ever made. It wasn't even fun in a stupid way.

You do realize that when Milla Jovovich is carrying my unborn baby I'll demand that you apologize for that remark, right?

Easier, sure. But my jaw's always sore arterwards.

Looks like the cover of a tomb raider game, except Lara is in silhouette.

Here's a 2 minute clip of movie.

http://www.nbc.com/Video/residentevil.shtml

I am sad to say it looks REALLY fucking stupid. "Hey, there's a million zombie birds attacking us, but I think I'll fire 3 rounds with my handgun into them center mass because maybe that will help."

Written by Paul W.S. Anderson. Well, there's your problem.

Knowing that hack touched it, I doubt I'll spend money on it unless someone I trust says to see it.

4 new clips.

http://www.mania.com/55984.html

The first clip looks good, the rest suck.

The "shooting at infected birds" clip makes me angrier and angrier. We're post-apocalyptic, now. They should have had the "nothing new is getting manufactured, now. We've got to conserve things like bullets." But no, they're firing randomly into a flock of birds.

Also, I don't care how infected they are, bird beaks ARE NOT strong enough to chew through metal grating.
