I think the Bioshock movie will creep anyone out, when it gets made. If they stick to the plot and IF QT does it...
Arcade to Movies. I dunno. After Dead or Alive, I'm a bit more cautious. ;D

i would say its on par with 'the hitman'. again, i hadnt played the game so maybe that affects my view...

I saw it last Friday and liked it quite a bit. The story is interesting. Not very original but that's what you get when you follow a book, game or other movie. Only thing I couldn't figure out was the weather. It snows most of the time but when they drive from a snow covered road in town to the harbor, most of the snow is suddenly gone. The river is frozen yet a short time later it rains heavily. How come the roads don't freeze? :dunno

I don't know . . . No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Cider House Rules, Princess Bride, The Human Stain, Dangerous Liaisons . . . I don't think a movie has to be derivative and filled with ridiculous cliches just cos it's based on a previous work.
Ginsu Victim:
Don't forget Shawshank Redemption (novella), Fight Club (novel), Godfather I and II (novel), Goodfellas (non-fiction novel), The Departed (remake), Memento (short story), American Psycho (novel), Dr Strangelove (novel), The Shining (novel), The Green Mile (serial novel), Full Metal Jacket (novel), Yojimbo (novel), A Fistful of Dollars (novel and remake of Yojimbo), Sling Blade (short film), A Clockwork Orange (novel), Band of Brothers (non-fiction novel), etc, etc, etc....
So many that could be listed.

not a good example. although i didnt see the movie, i read one chapter of the book. that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- really weirded me out. there's no way a hollywood movie could come close to that. and i believe critics said so at the time it came out...
