As we all (should) know, the movie adaptation of Doom comes out in two days (today is October 19). I, personally, have been totally psyched about this, despite the rumors of the reworked plot. True, the plot is different, but it makes more sense:

Original game
A portal to Hell spontaneously opens, demons pour forth and kill everyone except one guy that apparently hid in a closet. The one guy left then proceeds to do what all the hundreds of other people with advanced weaponry couldn't: kill all the zombies single-handedly. He then escapes to earth, where the whole thing starts over again.

The movie
After hearing of a catastrophic event on the Mars outpost, the government dipatches a squad of highly trained, heavily armed marines in to investigate. It turns out that some people infected by an "evil gene" (for lack of a better word), issued forth from a wormhole, have mutated into the hideous beasts from the games (like the Imp, Pinky Demon, Baron, etc.). Guess who designs them for the movie? STAN WINSTON! The guy who did the Predator!

Is that cool, or is that cool? I'm definately going to go see the movie. I'll report back in a few days and give you my opinion. By the way, tomorrow (October 20) the Sci-Fi channel is airing a special on the making of Doom (the movie).

I am a Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson fan.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Obviously his family calls him Dwayne Johnson.

And Wrestling news sites.

And even some of his old co workers.

Dwayne is a cool name.  Like the guy who's mentioned in Tommy Boy.

Watoad, you didn't know The Rock's real name? I'm surprised.

I seem to surprise people all of the time with my lack of pop culture knowledge and experience. Yesterday some people in my house were shocked out of there skin to hear that I've never seen Top Gun. (I believe one of them will have me watch it this weekend (which is fine because I'd like to see it).)

I've never seen a frame of Top Gun.

*GASP!* You've never seen Top Gun?! Well, no loss, really. By the way, that "Sci Fi Inside Doom" thing was crap. Basically, they showed The Mummy Returns (which sucked), and every ten commercials they show a little bit about the movie. But it was like this:

Narrator: Welcome to Sci Fi Inside Doom, which starts right this second, right now.
(Instead, they show 15 minutes of The Mummy Returns)
(5 minutes of commercials)
And now, Sci Fi Inside Doom. A fan asks The Rock, "What was it like working with the cast?"
The Rock: It was okay.
DOOM: IN THEATERS OCTOBER 21.
(More commercials)
(More of The Mummy Returns)
(More commercials)
And now, Sci Fi Inside Doom. A fan asks, "Who did the monster effects?"
Some Guy you don't care about: Stan Winston did.
DOOM: IN THEATERS OCTOBER 21.

As you can see, it was not at all the "behind the scenes" hour-long special I had wanted.

I haven't seen Top Gun.  Or The Wizard of Oz.

To be on topic, I haven't seen Doom, either.
