As promised **SPOILER WARNING**

Of the ugly ways to die, Neal ~~and you've had a few~~...

That was pretty hard core... o.O

Well damn >_< Hoping for a sequel with more M.Bison >_<

Yeah what few clips I've seen I was like "Is that a Irish accent? O_O" So you just confirmed that one for me. He sounds so off.

I'm currently PISSED for the 3 threader in driving distance to me, NONE of them are showing SF but there is a total of 6 screens showing the f-in jonas brothers >_< I would have settled for ONE showing at like 9 in the evening. COME ONE!!!!!

Well I'll be in SC in 2 weeks and Nita said she will take me. ^_________^

From:

Dude: EVIL

BEYOND Crazy!Dave evil....

The explanation is acutally creepier than the accent...

And young!Bison is really freaky...

But Neal did kick some major bootay! :)

From:

Bison was always an evil MOFO so yeah I didn't expect anything less.

From:

Honestly, I have never laughed harder at a movie than I did at this one. Crazy Dave McBison was awesome, but the whole thing was just tragically ridiculous, gamer bias aside. I'm totally going to see it again next week, though.

From:

The brother was CRYING at all of Chris Klein's scenes...

from laughter..

I know nothing of SF past Marvel vs Capcom 2, honestly.

I enjoyed the movie. And I thought Kristen was fantastic. But, I like Kristen, so...

I doubt anyone was expecting an Oscar nomination, really...

From:

I actually did enjoy it a lot, but I might have been able to take it a little more seriously if Nash weren't so freaking ridiculous. Worst Interpol agent EVER. Also, the dancescene leading up to the fight in the bathroom with Cantana had me practically rolling in the aisle, exacerbated by the song in the background, wherein the only words were apparently "street fight."

I liked the actual fights, but most of them were way too short. The Vega fight, which I had expected to be awesome, was like 20 seconds long. Not even I get knocked out that fast in Street Fighter.

From:

CK - Dear God.. the overacting... It was BAD...

the dancing: WTF was that??

The "Street Fight" did make me laugh...

the brother and I were very confused... I do know enough to know that Vega's supposed to BE a bad-ass, not get his ass kicked...

Our new pondering is the credits, where Neal was listed as Bison/Vega (Japan), Taboo was listed as Vega/Balrog (Japan) and MCD was listed as Balrog/Bison (Japan)

From:

In the Japanese version of the games, the boxer character we know as Balrog was called M. Bison (the M. standing for Mike, after Mike Tyson, who the character was modeled after). When the game was released in the states, they switched the character names around so they didn't get sued.

From:

Ohhhhhhhhhhh......

From:

*hugs Neal*

The critics are not being kind to this at all. Some are being kind to Neal though.

On another topic: I saw a video interview for Street Fighter where Neal dropped another hint about Captain America. Michael Clarke Duncan pointed to Neal and said that he (Neal) would make a great Captain America.

My female suspicious nature thinks something is up if Neal keeps dropping hints like this.

From:

I don't know if Neal is just playing with us, or if he just is what he is ~~aDORKable~~

I'd like to think he's as true as they come...

*le sigh*

For the record, he is an AWESOME villian. *nods*

He just has a horrible accent. :D

From:

I'm not sure either, but he seems to be mentioning it a lot lately or maybe he's campaigning for himself. ;)

One critic said that Neal and Michael were the only bright spots in the film.

And you'd think that having two parents from Ireland, he would be able to do the accent. *slaps Neal..gently of course*

From:

One critic said that Neal and Michael were the only bright spots in the film.

Kristin was very good, too, in my opinion.

Chris Klein and Moon Bloodgood were a waste of film... nothing against Moon. She was fine. CK was ... well... Moon was fine ;)

And you'd think that having two parents from Ireland, he would be able to do the accent.

Indeed! When he first started talking, I seriously thought he was doing Craig...

From:

LMAO!

Oh and speaking of Craig...you do know what today is, right?

From:

Holy Hannah! It is....

and it's crazy!Dave day, too!

o.O

From:

Yep, it sure is!

From: (Anonymous)

Chris Klein and Moon Bloodgood were a waste of film... nothing against Moon. She was fine. CK was ... well... Moon was fine ;)

My friend and I enjoyed the whole film as just action fluff, but we decided they could have dropped the whole Interpol/cop storyline and gave us more minutes in the fights. Seriously, Vega got cut so we could have the joke about gold handcuffs? From characters not even part of the Street Fighter franchise! *Snort* They should have just left in them finding the heads and coming in with more guns at the end.

Not that he was effectual at the end either. DUDE, Interpol is okay with seventeen-years-olds seeing their fathers offed in front of them? I could love a sequel where Rose goes crazy from that.

Back to lurking.

the brother and I were discussing that maybe she's the blonde Swedish chick....

Just because she's "pure and innocent" now....

o.O

From:

Hell, Interpol's fine with having their agents stand out in the open firing randomly, even when there is perfectly good cover available... plus they hired Nash, so I'm really not surprised...

I have no idea why Guile would even bother avenging Nash's death. :P

From:

Seriously: every single gun-toter EVER needs to learn to shoot from Rita on Silk Stalkings.

Point. Blank. Range. and they still missed EVERY TIME!! o.O

*facepalm*

From:

Oh man, I used to stay up late watching Silk Stalkings when I was younger, with a towel stuffed under the door so my parents didn't know I was watching it.

From:

I used to watch it on CBS, then kicked over to USA for the "unedited" version...

I actually got my dad into it :D

That show was so good... then they killed it...

*headdesk*

From: (Anonymous)

Guile really gets his revenge on for NASH?! That was something I knew the first movie had altered to streamline the characters, but the thought of Guile wasting his vengeance fury on that schmuck makes me want to cry.

Swedish chick? I haven't kept up with the video game series. The only girls I knew were Chun-Li and Cammie (British).

The first Street Fighter I adored for it's campy charm, and Raul was having so much fun unleashing his inner megalomaniac. Eventually I grew to admire it's scriptwriters for being able to pull together an ensemble cast that large without losing most of the characters. Mortal Kombat II tried and epic!failed. (When Christopher Lambert won't be in your sequel, there are issues.) But if there was fan fury over the first not being true to the games, it ought to look Oscar worthy in comparison.

And no offense to Moon, because I thought she did an excellent job with her material, but everything with her and Nash--aside from the heads scene--should have hit the cutting room floor. Asking as a writer, what purpose do those scenes serve? Prove Bison is a bad guy? All the other Bison scenes covered that one thoroughly. Prove Bison was international? Speaking everyone's native tongue at the dinner meeting proved that one. We need to have more guns for storming the compound, so we need to set up these characters. Shipping container scene did that and proved Bison has a sick sense of humor. :p

It's movies like this that A) make me write fanfiction and B) make me wish that Hollywood would do casting calls on script ideas to the various fandoms. Seriously, you'd get a lot of crap in the submissions but that's why you hire interns. Writers who understand the characters, universe, can give it whatever unique spin got the producer and studio interested, and can write scripts would surface if they would give it a try.

Have I told you lately that I love you? :)

Because I do. A LOT.

I still want to see the original, for I love Raul Julia.

The brother said there was a Swedish chick (maybe Russian) I just remember there being a blonde on Marvel vs Capcom 2

No idea... I'm actually trying to plot out a fic.. but I don't know if I can do it.. It'll be short, regardless ;)

From: (Anonymous)

Aw, you're making me blush.

My copy of the first Street Fighter came out of the cheap DVD bins at Wal-Mart a few years back, so it is available on DVD. I just don't know how easy it would be to score one now. If copying DVDs was available to me, I'd send you one but alas, I have no DVD burner.

Was Rose speaking Swedish? That was the only language I didn't peg. Gen is Shoalin. I heard translating-the-scroll Chinese lady say "Shoalin" when talking about the Order of the Web. And yes, I did have a crush on Peter Caine many moons ago.

I saw it at Target last week...

Perhaps onthe next payday!

I was basink it off her being on the tanker from Romansk (or however it's spelled)

I wrote it! LOL! I bet it's horrible... Wanna peek? ;)

From:

I've only really played the old Street Fighter 2 and the brand new Street Fighter 4, but yeah, Guile's always trying to get revenge on Bison for killing his war buddy Nash.

And Rose is a game character and actually does have the good part of Bison's soul, but she has purple hair, isn't actually his daughter, and hails from Italy.
