Warcraft Movie

It had to happen folks. A library or novels, a card game, a miniatures game, board game, RP game, the towering giant that is WOW, and in the foreseeable future a blockbuster hit. It seems as if Blizzard Entertainment will stop at nothing short of world domination. And we as consumers, gamers, or just plain nerds... are sort of OK with that (the right thing to do here would rant about how great a world run by Blizzard would be, but lets stick to the topic.)


We've heard for awhile now that a warcraft movie was in the works but many had thought that it became another forgotten project like starcraft ghost, less than a month ago people found out this is NOT the case, as it was announced that Sam Raimi will be directing the Warcraft movie. Hmm... while at first this was a little bit disappointing to me and the conversations between me and Trev were flooded with hilarious images like Mary Jane Pealing off Spiderman's mask in the rain going for that romantic kiss only to reveal a giant yellow pair of orc tusks protruding out of a green slobbery mouth, or a goblin sapper flying around on a jetboard lobbing pumpkins at people.

My initial reservations were due to Spiderman 3 being soooooooo universally terribad, but as i thought more about it i was like OK I'll give him Evil dead/Army Of Darkness even 30 Days Of Night was pretty good. The reality of the situation is, it makes no difference who works on the film. because Blizzard has the money, power, and influence to bend a director or writer over the counter and fuck them into making whatever movie they want, because when it comes to lore and staying true to source material Blizzard really seems like compromise is out of the question. Not to mention the crazy responsibility that will be balancing on Raimi's shoulders if the movie is bad there will be many millions of angry nerds blaming him, MY GOD could u imagine the ANGRY LETTERS!!!!

I have long abandoned my wow addiction and yet I will definitely be looking forward to this.
