Original article

Quote:

"Had they given it to Uwe Boll, it would have been a nonstop frenzy of exploding grues," commented Dan Pewters, who has been playing Zork for over 17 years.

Gerald Hemmingway, team leader of the visual effects team hired for the movie, explained, "Using the wider movie screens, we'll have much less text-wrapping, and be able to fit in more action onto the screen simultaneously. This is something the fans of Zork should be looking forward to."

And the fact it's being narrated by Morgan Freeman seals the deal for me.

I'll be seeing this opening day!

When Mr. T sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself. Only a fool audits Mr. T and everyone knows how Mr. T feels about fools.

Your phone ringing in a theater has angered your fellow moviegoers.  
They rise and up destroy you for ruining the experience.

GAME OVER.
