The despatch CHRISTMAS 2023
Ukrainians feel, at least in part, Russian and speak Russian. Putin ’ s
war on Ukraine has been predicted to go on for years, a conflict that
you could argue, dates to the golden age of Vikings.
I Don ’ t Like Movies! (or at least video game adaptations)
OK. Let's talk about movies or at least the latest trend in movie
making: Taking a video game that people like, throwing some famous
actors at it and turning it into a movie. Millions of people have seen
hits that are video game adaptations, for instance “ The Super Mario
Bros Movie ”, or “ The Last of Us ”. Now I am not saying these are not
good films, but I feel they are boring or even lacklustre in comparison
to the original game. Let's use “ The Super Mario Bros Movie" as an
example. It is a good film, but the story is nothing new, nothing to
make you excited about. It ’ s just the same old story about a princess
getting kidnapped - no exciting flare or story that delves into a new
realm from the video game character.
This trend has been seen before, but last time video adaptations
were popular the films flopped enormously - and sometimes for
obvious reasons. For instance here
are the Goombas from the original
1993 Super Mario Bros live action
