Billy Bob Blames Games for the Sorry State of Hollywood
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Yet videogames are interactive and force the player to think - some even contain dilemmas such as Fallout New Vegas, where doing the right thing meant having to consider ones options very carefully at times.
If games were truly influencing films to the extent implied then we wouldn't be getting endless reboots of old IPs.
Also, not every film or game needs to make a statement or have a moral aspect - sometimes, we all just want to enjoy the story and adventure.

I don't get why he's blaming video games, since its the directors who are making the shit movies.
Yeah, cuz "Faster" is meant to be all deep and shit.
Awww, c´mon! Hollywood makes dumb action movies because movie execs run Hollywood instead of the true creative minds. We live in a society were each movie is evaluated on its tentpole potential. Videogames are not responsible for that.

My response? Grand Theft Auto IV represents the trouble and hardship faced by immigrants when they come to America seeking a new life, and it portrays how they are eventually forced into a life of crime when they fail to achieve their dream.
Check. Your move Thorton

Are you people taking Billy Bob Thornton seriously? For real?
He's a great actor, but is completely bonkers. He said once that he had fear of antique furniture. When he was married with Angelina Jolie (not exactly sane at the time, too), each of them carried a vial with a blood sample from the other.
So yeah, speak away Billy Bob. And try to get into good movies again.

if we all paid attention to metacritic, then by that logic, GTA 4 and Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3 are some of the best games ever made, you really cant trust itdanpascooch said:
so, yeah, its sort of our fault because we are the generation hollywood wants to reach, and most of us are so strung out on high-octane violence like in Cash-In of Duty that hollywood naturally wants to leech of that success. (seriously? who WOULDNT want a piece of that 300 million dollars in 24 hours action?)
he DID have sex with Halle Berry in a different movie... you can rush to Netflix for that XDThe Rascal King said:
Whilst I find this comment quite ridiculous, I'll play. Let's pretend I buy it, so here's my response:
"Good, cause movies have been making games crappier for years. It's the gaming industry infatuation of becoming a small hollywood clone that has given us some of the worst games ever, whilst preventing the game as a medium from growing on its own strenghts"

That it was. Yet somehow, I made it all the way through, perhaps spurred on to see what effluence would pour out of Billy Bob's mouth next time he was asked a question.Electrogecko said:
Clearly he just couldn't be bothered. All in all, his band seemed to be more or less lacking in any motivation, though at least the others were able to answer the questions asked of them. Check the enthusiasm as they are asked to actually perform one of their songs.
Anyway, nothing to really say on the topic at hand here...his comments are hardly going to change anything anyway.
Does he still act? I thought he just got on camera and makes incoherent noises to emphasize the lawful-southern-prick-stereotype?
He's complaining about video games?
*COUGH*
*COUGH*
Or did he just forget he was in that? No "killing people" in that case but it's still apart of the industry nonetheless.

I am a fan of the 90% of everything is crap explination for why movies are so bad these days. Most movies of any age are bad, we see the past through rose tinted glasses because the 90% crap that was produced last generation has mostly been forgotten while the 90% crap of this generation is still in our faces. If video games are contributing to the downfall of movies; it is because they are stealing tallented people who would rather work in an interactive medium than a non interactive one.
What's that Billy? Don't go see your movies anymore? Okee!
Seriously though, make something decent yourself before you spout dribble good sir... Usually it's smart to wait until you're in a credible position before you start speaking of nonsense and ignorant stupidity. Jumping the gun much?
