You’re all right. I’m the problem. My posting problem is my fault. I got myself into this situation, and I need to get out. No more help please.

This is a perfect example of a pointless post. Don’t tell us, just do it.

JEDIT: And don’t respond to this post.

6 minutes to break that rule. Now you can make a game out of it. Keep going longer between posts.

It was a good title for the original book. I don’t know if it’s just a British thing but there is a tendency here to acronymise things we are anxious about talking about, it must be universal because I have heard Americans refer to Cancer as “the big C” as if mentioning it by name will bring it upon yourself. As the title is identified closely with the book, keeping it for the film makes sense. Parents and kids familiar with the story will recognise it as an adaptation. They might not do otherwise.

I think Big Fucking Gun because that’s what it is in Quake. I have to stop myself from saying something every time one of my daughters brings it up…especially when we’re reading it.

Yeah I think it could have only helped to have just called it The Big Friendly Giant. Then no one would have been confused.

The book was 1982 I think so Doom, the game, was the stuff of science fiction. I don’t think even military computers could create representations of environments like that back then in real time.

Well, military computers are not designed for high quality real time graphics. I do get your point though.

I agree. But, I do kinda like that they’re saying “That’s the name of the book, that’s the name of the movie”. Not like they’re taking some kind of stand or anything, but I can appreciate that they’re sticking to the original title. I didn’t know it was based on anything until Bing’s post.
Still, titling the movie The Big Friendly Giant and then referring to him as “The B.F.G.” in the movie would be better, I think.

simulators are.

Battlezone evolved from a military simulator. It still feels futuristic to me 😄
