I certainly don't have an inherent problem with "dark art". But seriously...dark should sort of serve some overall purpose other than being dark for the sake of being dark. It's really easy to sort of gt pigeonholed into being "that guy who does dark ****", and then it almost looks like a cheap gimmick.

Hans Bellmar is an incredibly interesting artist I highly recommend. I like Psyclon Nine, even met Ner0 on their last tour. Nice guy that got mixed up in too many drugs.

I have always found that generally, the more dark/heavy/twisted/etc. form of any kind of artful expression (Music, movies, paintings, etc.) tend to be more interesting and complex. I am always looking for a new obsession so I would like to know what people of "like-mind" are into.

For me personally:

Music: Black Metal (Burzum, Emperor, Zyklon), Industrial (Skinny Puppy, Psyclon Nine, Wumpscut), Darkstep (Darker/heavier Drum N' Bass) (Noisia, Spor, Current Value), SOME Death Metal (Hypocrisy, Behemoth, Bloodbath), and then there is a band that is in a genre all of their own The Berzerker :twisted:

Movies: Anything that mixes Sci-Fi and Horror (Event Horizon, Pandorum, The Thing)

Artist: The only artist I have ever come across that incorporates the styles and subject matter that I like is H.R. Giger. I would LOVE somebody to recommend another artist that they think I would like.

Armani cologne ;) Mountain Dew and Sour Patch Kids (Breakfast of champions).

One of the biggest misconceptions is that people believe that any type of game that looks "cool" can make an awesome film. Little do we realize that due to video game pedegrees studios just aren't going to cash in 200 million for a video game film. The games that people want (genericly) Halo, God of war, Gears etc. Aren't going to cost 2 bucks to make in order to be faithful. Count that with the Actors, Screenwriter, etc and it's a big gamble. It's possible and will happen, but it will be hard to be of quality. Sort of the same as the Transformer films.

In my humble opinion, in order to make the perfect video game film. Baby steps, is to combine the best of video game literacy and visual design. The biggest example of this is: Grim Fandango. Script would be solid, and the director could work selling the atmosphere of it's world. Combine that with make-up and Cosume. You could have a unique experience.

Another game that would do very well is Read Dead Redemption. If tweaked a bit, I believe the ending could help extremely well with both film buffs and mainstream audiences.
