In all honesty I'm a capcom player over SNK but I have to admit that SNK games are a lot more technical and well concieved. They just require more of a commitment than I was interested in giving a fighting game, but I highly recomend going back and playing them (they are all on Gametap).
As far as movies go I just dont care what hollywood does anymore. I checked out silent hill and was not too offended, I ended up enjoying it although I felt it was a waste of a good property. I love hitman and Max Payne but I never bothered even finding anything out about the movies, it is like they are completely separate entities that just dont show up on my video game fan OR movie fan radar.
