Guitar Hero: The Movie - Directed by Brett Ratner

“I love ‘Guitar Hero’ and I think it’s a part of pop culture. I would love to do a ‘Guitar Hero’ movie, if Activision would ever let me. I’m trying to convince them, but why would you have a movie screw up such a huge franchise? Not that I would make a bad movie. So that would be cool, to do a ‘Guitar Hero’ movie. ”
“It could be about a kid from a small town who dreams of being a rock star and he wins the ‘Guitar Hero’ competition. One of these dreams-[come-true] kind of concepts.”
I’d write something sarcastically witty here, but I haven’t the strength. Link.

I think this may be sadder than the people that obsess over the fucking game.

@Grundy: Uhhhh, then you may not want to hear how James and I talk about Rock Band. . . every day.

I would totally see a movie about Rock Band directed by Brett Ratner.
Guitar Hero, not so much.

James, face it. Either one would suck, no matter who directed. If Chris Nolan said this was his next project after Batman was either of these films, the collective response would be, “WTF?!?”

Take out the first was in that comment above.

Technically, the movie would be a remake of Rock star (Starring Marky Mark) except following a guitarist. Sounds pretty blase.

Not really, Rock Star was loosely based on Tim “Ripper” Owens becoming the singer for Judas Priest.
This one is about a weirdo trying to become a rock star by pretending to play a little plastic guitar. But, yeah it’s fucking dumb.

This movie would be as awesome as 1989’s “The Wizard.”

No, it should really be about college kids getting stoned and playing around on a plastic guitar.
Grundy - Posted on 31/08/08 @ 3:25pm
Or replace college kids with 30-year-olds (no offense Dave or James).

@Grundy: None taken but my drumming on Rock Band might actually improve *if* I was stoned.

I played either it was Guitar Hero or Rock Band once (I drank 2 bottles of Crown Royale, so I don’t recall which). I think I did alright, though I ended up calling a 9-year-old a cocksucker.

O_o. . .speechless.
Grundy - Posted on 01/09/08 @ 12:23pm
It happens.

Just for clarity, was this on Xbox Live or at some Big Box store?
Grundy - Posted on 01/09/08 @ 5:51pm
It was at a cousin of mines Christmas party, so I guess it was Guitar Hero because I was playing against a kid who was there.

That story got awesome really quick.
Dave - Posted on 01/09/08 @ 10:46pm
Yeah, it had to have been because you can’t play head to head against someone in the same room in Rock Band. I guess since you kept it in the family it wasn’t as harsh. I’ve seen much worse on Xbox Live among strangers.

Rock Band directed by Uwe Boll. You know you all want it.
BTW, James-you get my emails?
Grundy - Posted on 02/09/08 @ 9:59am
Oh no, I didn’t even know the kid, I;m sure I wasn’t related to him.
It was two bottles of whiskey, I was spouting cocksucker like I was in an episode of Deadwood.
Dave - Posted on 02/09/08 @ 11:14pm
So were you drunk when you wrote that comment about him being your cousin?
Grundy - Posted on 03/09/08 @ 1:04pm
No, the Christmas party was at my cousins place.

Okay, we’re getting into an area of this story that I really couldn’t care less about.
