Why fanboys are sometimes better than Hollywood...
Beyond Black Mesa is a Half-Life inspired movie made by fans on a $1200 budget. At this point I'm ready to hand over the rights to a movie to them versus having Michael Bay slaughter the story to the tune of 50 million and a cameo by Megan Fox.
In addition to the film being great, it inspired great comments as well. For example, "when i heard the grenade 'ticking' sound, my fanboy nipples got hard". Can't top that.

ok, that was bloody f*cking brilliant. i keep saying there's no real talent left in hollywood, and these guys just proved it. the talents in the fans now. although a naked megan fox is never a bad thing, confusing that with the idea she has any real acting talent at all is a HUGE mistake. if i was a movie exec i'd have to seriously consider giving these guys $100K and some real cgi and studio talent (read - all the folks whose names you never read in the credits AFTER the actors and directors names scroll by) to see what they can do with some backup and a budget. their first offering is miles ahead of a lot of big budget stinkers that have come out lately.
Too cool!!
