10/21   So, is anyone going to go see Doom?
        \_ Maybe on DVD.  My freshman year at Cal ('94-'95) we used to
           talk all the time about the rumors that someone was creating
           a Doom movie.  I can't believe how bad it looks after all
           these years of thinking about it.
           \_ Wait, do you mean you have some idea on how a Doom movie
              could be good?
              \_ Heh, good point.  Well, at least I wouldn't shoot the
                 film in fps format.  That looks ridiculous.
                 \_ Umm, actually according to the "Rock" on the Daily Show
                    last night, some scenes ARE shot that way.
                    \_ Umm, that was his point.
        \_ oh gawd, the trailer was painful
        \_ My favorite critic line on Doom is "It's Aliens for dummies"
           \_ "The only downside is that you can't use cheat codes to
              reach the end of the movie."
        \_ WorldNetDaily thinks that Doom is anti-military, anti-
           Christian and neo-nazi:
           http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46980
           \_ Wow.  I was on the fence, but now I'm going to have to go see
              a matinee tomorrow.

1/26    Wozniak says the the Steve Jobs movie clip is historically inaccurate,
        that Jobs was not so much a visionaire that Jobs claimed to be, as Jobs
        was just looking to make a few quick bucks. Why should we trust
        Woz's words over Jobs'?
        \_ Seriously? Read both the Steve Jobs biography and Woz's autobiography.
           Nobody contests that Jobs was a scumbag. Also: the lounge in Soda Hall.

com "Doom," the new movie that opened yesterday, which is based on the contro versial video game, is not only bloody, gory, violent and filled with ob scenities and profanities, it also takes a swipe at the United States Ma rine Corps. In the movie, a group of US Marines slaughters a host of mutated human beings and zombies on Mars who have been infected with a serum intended to create a race of immune supermen, but which instead turns most people into violent monsters. During the movie, the leading Marine, who exemplifies Marine values and e ven has the Marine motto "Semper Fi" (Always Faithful) tattooed on his b ack, goes berserk and orders the execution of some humans, including chi ldren, who may or may not be infected with the disease. "Kill them all and let God sort it out," he commands his men. When one of the soldiers refuses to carry out the order, the leader shoot s him in the head. It is really sad to see a major Hollywood movie, especially one aimed at the teenagers and young adults who are recruited into our armed forces, include such a vile, anti-American message. "Doom" also carries a neo-Nazi message, in that the only person who can s ave the day is someone who is able to be injected with the superman seru m and not mutate into a monster. One of the soldiers is a Christian who carves a cross into his arm when he takes the Lord's name in vain. Of course, like the video game on which it's based, "Doom" revels in huma n slaughter. At one point, it plays like the video game and the audience is turned into one of the shooters killing everything that moves in the most brutal manner imaginable. Obsession with such murderous imagery is the kind of thing that helped instigate some of the school murders a fe w years ago. MOVIEGUIDE doesn't recommend this vile movie for anyone. In fact, it rec ommends that parents make special efforts to prevent their children and teenagers from watching "Doom" or playing the violent, gory video game.
