[QUOTE="Mark Plemmons, post: 3499741, member: 1287"] Sort of. Last September (issue #119), David Kenzer said (edited for brevity): "Here's my view of what a movie review should entail... I promise that anyone that can deliver this will see print. I'd also be happy for this sort of review to displace or at least share time with the Rant. A review of the movie...not a synopsis, but thoughts on what was great/sucked and why. What did the characters/plot do that would/wouldn't work in a game/RPG? This is the best part and I'm sorry to see that no one has ever hit the nail on the head regarding this. As a gamer I saw (blah blah) coming amile away and why (and because of experience in what game). Other stuff related to games/gaming you saw in the move. What games the movie characters probably play or would be good at. How this movie could be made into a board game/RPG etc. (not precisely how, but a "this would make a really kewl game of" and follow with 2-3 sentences, etc. Most important point: The overall column needn't be controversial but must evoke one or more emotions in the reader. Reviews should be interesting to read: that's the sinle most important bit. Look at John O'Neill's work and you'll find some boring stuff made interesting." [B]As far as I know[/B], no one's submitted anything. [/QUOTE]
