Matthew “Servotron” Ellison made posted his Shadow of the ColossusMunny on the Sprite Stitch forums and everyone hated it so much that he actually got banned from ever posting his artwork on the internet again for the rest of his life.
Just kidding. This thing is frikkin’ awesome. Anyone who hates it was obviously raped by a Colossus as a child. There’s even a little Wander, ready to poke the giant beast in his infant-like soft spot.
Since I love both Shadow of the Colossus and Munnys, there’s a pretty good chance I’ll be thinking of this thing when I bone my girlfriend. It’ll heighten the pleasure, which isn’t really necessary since my lady gives me boners just by doing things like sneezing and watching TV, but still, I’ll be thinking of it nonetheless.
If the recenly-announcedShadow of the Colossus movie is anything like this vid from video game culture darlings Mega 64, I think I just might give it a chance.
The gaming population is about 99.9% positive that the live-action film adaptation of the classic PlayStation game Shadow of the Colossus will suck big hairy scrotum. Justin Marks, the guy penning the screenplay, would like to convince us otherwise. Justin Marks also shat out the screenplay for a little gem called Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, so we’re gonna’ have a hard time believing him.
“With a lot of games there are so many elements in the universe you spend your time tearing down and tearing down,” he said. “What’s nice about this game is that it’s so sparse so you can start building right away.”
So your saying we don’t have to worry because there’s a lot of room for you to just make shit up? Sounds more like a reason this game’s movie adaptation will just be another quick paycheck for a talentless writer. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Well, the good news is that one of the greatest, most inspiring video games within the last decade will be turned into a live action film. The bad news is that the script is being penned by Justin Marks, the same guy who wrote a little gem called “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.”
Considering the fact that “Shadow of the Colossus” was a very solitary game with no dialogue, some minor characters from the game will be given bigger rolls and they’re trying to give this movie a “Lord of the Rings” feel. I honestly feel that this is a bad move. If you’re going to turn such an artistic game into a movie, do it artistically. After seeing the trailer for “Where the Wild Things Are“ they should just pust Spike Jonze in charge of this.
