 So Paul Anderson wants to direct the Metal Gear Solid movie.

 No.

 God. I mean, no.

 No offense to P-...I can't even say that. I mean to cause offense with this, because I was offended first. Are you   ******* kidding me? When Uwe Boll takes already bad gaming franchises and translates them into terrible movies, we mainly just bash on him for being a bad director that has zero talent whatsoever. Not often do we actually step up to the defense of the franchises, because they were butchered to begin with. Yes, Alone in the Dark could have been spared, but Atari was already making sure that the last legs were removed before the movie came out.

 Paul Anderson, however, despite being literally surrounded by video games in his life, doesn't get it. He doesn't even grasp the concepts of making a regular movie that isn't related to video gaming. I admit, I loved the first couple of Resident Evil movies for its escapism quality, but I realized just like everyone else that Anderson wasn't even going to try and make a true RE movie. The movies were terrible, yet fun, and I actually applaud the fact that there was almost zero effort going into being faithful to anything Capcom invented. Nemesis has feelings deep down. Really. This happened.

 You know Paul Anderson is just making things up and using computer generated images to cover up for those times when he can't direct, which is the main reason why his movies wholly considered pieces of CG garbage. Please don't watch Alien vs. Predator to research this.

 Metal Gear Solid doesn't take itself seriously either, but I would prefer that the directing role go to someone a little more Kojima friendly. Ryuhei Kitamura would probably be best suited for the project. Because of their already solid relationship, I could easily see the directing duties being split between the two of them appropriately. On top of that, the movies that the man makes are suited to the style. He takes some pretty offbeat scenarios and unrealistic action and turns it into edgy, comical, and deliberate. Do we honestly need to see another glorified cheese scene of Milla Jovovich backflipping, or do we need to see something that's equally absurd, yet remains badass to watch? I suppose that depends if Milla is wet or not, but we're talking about Solid Snake, so the latter wins.

 Mr. Anderson...just stay away from this franchise. Please. I'm not a fan of the Metal Gear games, but that's my personal taste. I'd like to stand up for this franchise before you ruin it. Digg It Stumble it ! Reddit
