Long Live the Confederation!
Attention Americans: can't afford a $4.99? Just love pan and scan versions of things? Find the word 'balls' offensive? Well, the Sci Fi channel is showing that movie of movies, Wing Commander, tonight at 11 PM ET/PT! The last time we quoted the Sci Fi channel's movie promotional blurb someone got mailbagably crazy about how we were perpetuating an evil movie conspiracy... so for the record, this is *not* our description:
This tightly directed military adventure about elite fighter pilots (and one cranky civilian scout) in a 27th-century war for interstellar domination stars Freddie Prinze Jr. (I Know What You Did Last Summer), beautiful Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea, Troy), Matthew Lillard (Thir13en Ghosts, Scooby-Doo) and Jürgen Prochnow (David Lynch's Dune, Das Boot). Shot through with submarine-drama suspense, it's easily one of the best movie adaptations of a hit videogame.

Airs Tuesday, September 21, at 11PM ET/PT

You live in Iowa too? That's amazing, thought I was the only WCer in the great state. As far as the comment, I don't think it's all that true. I liked the movie but I don't think it was the best adaptions of a video game...simply because it really didn't have all that many inclusions from the actual video game. It didn't really adapt very much from the game.

I wouldn't go that far...the movie is good if you are a wingnut, but to others it's just another dumb scifi about weird aliens attacking earth...SOP...

Wha? All they did was throw in references back to the games. To the point where people start complaining that they misused them here and there. What game adaptations were better?
