GEEK: Brett Ratner Considers Ruining Guitar Hero

It's no secret Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, Rush Hour The Second One, Rush Hour Again, and the worst X-Men movie) is an awful director. Sure, he's not the worst, as people are likely to point out, but he's quite bad at making movies and I don't think that's debatable. He's not such a likable guy, either. And he's made less likable due to the fact that he doesn't seem to mind being such a shitty director. Basically, he's Paris Hilton with a camera.

And much like he did with the X-Men franchise, he's considering ruining something many, many people enjoy.

Ahh, they've seen his work with Chris Tucker, then. I wonder how far into Rush Hour 3 they got before coming to this conclusion? I'm guessing, a paragraph into the copy on the back of the dvd box.

Genius. Yes, he had Miley do that thing with a guitar that every person who has ever picked up a guitar jokily pretends to do with it.

Very astute. Sure to anger the vocal contingent arguing the opposite side of that heated debate. Really, what the hell is he saying? Is there a group out there claiming that Guitar Hero hasn't sold record numbers of games, become an institution and basically (on some level) altered the way music is sold and bought? Yes, it's popular dumb-ass.

Why indeed, Brett.

Again. Not that you would make a bad movie... again. And you would. Please try to prove me wrong. But do it far from here and quietly. If, somehow, you succeed, then release it. But not a day before.

isn't that the plot of a Fred Savage movie? I was going to say, the Fred Savage movie but then I remembered The Princess Bride. By the way, what contest did Brett Ratner win to get where he is?

Please let them have brochures. And possibly an infomercial. Do they just charge you by the level of douchebaggery he's able to bring you to? I'm saying yes.

Again, genius. A version of Guitar Hero that allows you to go on tour and he comes up with... Guitar Hero, ahem, World Tour.

Exec- "Yeah come up with a name for our new Honda Civic. It's a turbo."

Brett - "Ok! Uhh...How about Honda Turbo?"

Exec- Yes!

Brett Ratner. Is there anything the man can't do... terribly?

He'd be a good fit for Activision. They're idiots too.

Wow, as if I didn't dislike these musical games enough to NOT BUY THEM, this makes me want to eat $10 worth of Taco Bell, drink a pot of Denny's coffee, and then Let Thy Anal Will Be Done all over the lobby of Activision and Brett Ratner's living room.

On the other hand, I love to see the ass-end of pop culture fight amongst itself for my amusement. Yes, gladiators, BATTLE!!!!

A movie based on a casual gaming fad? Riiiiight.. Then again, there's a movie about Facebook coming out as well. I guess someone somewhere is eating this shit up.

The Wizard 2: Guitar Hero And Fred Savage and Jenny Lewis can be the divorced parents who have to get back together and go find thier runaway child. Wow I just wrote the movie.

Jack Black will have to be in the movie. Maybe that old asian guy for the training montage after Jack has his first set back, now who should play his on and off girlfriend, who helps him up to the earlier set back and again after the training?

I hated how he ruined X-Men 3.. Oh why couldn't Brain Singer direct it.

The funny thing is is that he's basically ripping off the episode of South Park, Guitar Queer-O, which was made to mock Guitar Hero... So he's taking an idea from a cartoon that was completely mocking, and turning it into a movie?! Or at least attempting to. Amazing, GO BRETT!

I guess he's better than Uwe Boll. I've taken shits that were better directed than his movies. Guitar Hero is a fun game, but it pisses me off when these punk kids are like "Wow, golly willikers! I can play the guitar cuz i can play Dragonforce!" No. No, you can't. You're rocking out on the plastic guitar, fruit loop. I'm not saying people who play it are dumb, I just hate the kids who act like they're playing the actual instrument. Anyway, a GH movie is retarded. A kid that wins a tournament? Hey, they made a movie like that in the 80's, it was called "The Wizard." Great job, jackass.

why do you hate the X-Men?

Who cares if he does make one? I can't see how a Guitar Hero film would have any connection to the videogame franchise anyway, it's not like there's some sort of rich backstory to be abused or whatever. Just what should we expect? A segment portraying a live performance of someone wielding a fake plastic Gibson whilst a note chart scrolls along the bottom of the screen? Yeah, that'd be awesome. *I* should direct it.

The article is written like anyone *but* Brett Ratner could make a decent movie out of it, which frankly is utter shite.

the more mutants involved, the more chances for them to mess up the stories (which they took!). and the same goes for the Juggernaut. good pick to play him, acted Juggernaut-like towards buildings and people he didn't know, but was not a mutant. and why the hell did they make him of no relation to the Prof? galling.

DRUMS FTW!

Brett Ratner is the new Uwe Bol.

The new guitar hero will have drums as well, but i still think its better then GH and no FUCK making a movie of either game!!

what the hell would the movie be about?

Bunch a drunk people in some person's living room playing guitar hero for three hours?

I can go next store and watch that.....for free!

Honestly I don't get why those games are so popular.

I always thought a movie based on the GTA franchise was in the works?

I guess a movie about Guitar Heroes is better. Than a guy killing hookers and stealing cars.

Drake, you crazy kid you. It honestly baffles me that you don't hate this movie.

Different better or different same is fine. Different worse is not.

Easy for you Americans to say. The rest of us (British 360 owners aside) are still waiting for a Rock Band 1 release date to be announced.

It just sucks when someone makes a shitty movie based on a video game, because then the general public assumes that most video games contain the same inane and horrible execution that their movie counterparts have. The Mario Bros. movie for example: ASS, while the games are excellent. So Joe Whatshisface walks in the theatre and says "Wow, this is what people play?" And being too much of a dopey twat to actually research or even PLAY the game, Joe then tells his other dopey twat friends that Mario sucks, thus hurting the industry. Far fetched, but it happens.
