Examples of bad Perry dialogue

[kevstah2004]

I've only read 2 of the 6 books so far and thats Re1 and Re2 and they where both very enjoyable they're not masterpieces but if they where both used as scripts for live action movies then I would have been very happy with them compared to the Anderson trash. I'm not much for reading books infact I've read 3 books in the last say 8 years the other one was a Tupac book but I'd definatley read them again sometime. I cant speak for the other 4 but im definatley going to read them...eventually. By the way its been hard as hell to write this I keep looking at that Bush Vid and laughing. Nice1.

What book was that? I know of the Drah Cenedive lol
and book 1 & 2 of aeom which can be seen as the two books of Machiavelli.

[P Anderson DIE]

It was the bodyguards book about how they spent thier last few days together, bascially its the bodyguards account of the last week of Tupacs life its very interesting. The man lived like a god. Its called "Got Your Back" by Frank Alexander like I said very intresting book pick it up on amazon for dirt cheap.

Anyway I dont think you understand what im saying, your telling me that you can justify someone taking a franchise and saying hey I wanna change this into my own way because I dont like the original version. Then why not just make a seperate movie with its own name. They are just mooching off the franchise. Cant you see that you have been had by Hollywood? They have manipilated you into thinking oh they did this because they wanted it to be different to the games WRONG!! They just couldnt be assed to research the game hire an expensive and real director not one they found mooching through trash cans with his ugly hoe in some back alley and they wanted a 12 certificate so they could get all the little childrens money. They are a bunch of robbing ******** who wouldnt know a real film if it came up and bit them on the ass. Someone could make a better zombie movie with a handheld camera and a nobody cast check it out its called "REC".

Oh my god! Lmao I love that Bush video. Look at the man hes got matrix written all over him. He's "THE ONE".

I'm seriously not being harsh on Perry. I'm being honest. The novels aren't good. She's not a good author. Even if she wasn't writing Resident Evil, she would still be mediocre and the actual quality of her writing would still be unbecoming.

I'm not at all trying to brag here, but I've been a very competent reader since I was little, and I write quite a bit myself. I expect that gives me some credibility when it comes to judging Perry’s writing.

Personally, I find it easier to watch a mediocre film than to read a mediocre book. At least you can distract yourself with the images. As far as I can tell the third movie actually had made great strides in the writing where as Perry has slipped in her standards. Most people have agreed that her later Resident Evil novels (such as Code Veronica) were not as good as her earlier ones.

One problem is that Perry uses it as a money-making device. You can tell by the length and quality of the books that they have just been churned out as fast as possible. I think we can all probably agree that the time you spend creating something has a great impact on the finished product, and in her case, the finished product is unremarkable or simply not good.

I’m not saying you have to be a moron to enjoy the books. It's fine if you do. I’m just saying that they’re not anything more than a Sunday afternoon read at best. I can’t help but expect a little more depth from what I read.

(You think Anderson is mooching off the franchise? What about Perry? She's a middle-aged mother of two writing about a zombie-based horror game. I highly doubt that she enjoys the games as she once may have. At least Anderson is your classic drooling fan boy, so we know he's still as interested.)

[P Anderson DIE]

Anderson is not a fan he claims hes a fan wheres the proof. Because it seems to me the only thing he is a fan of is trashing great franchises. Look what he did to the Alien and Predator franchises, one movie and he nearly killed it off. I never said Perry is an amazing writer but at least she sticks to what its supposed to be about. Read this carefully there is no Alice in Resident Evil. Im done arguing about this the movies are the worst thing to happen to this franchise and I'll never never ever ever ever watch them again. I'm not a major critic I'll watch most things but these are up there in my top 5 of worst movies EVER and you aint gonna change my mind its not possible sorry mate but im just not interested in crap.

[REmaster]

I have all the books and personally I think that a few of them are pretty decent, at least the adaptations of 1, 2 & 3. Sure, the original Perry stories such as "Caliban cove" and "Underworld" weren't as good. I got the first book which was the adaptation of Resident Evil 1 called "The Umbrella Conspiracy" and I read it everyday for like a year until I got the other books. There's just so much plot filled in behind the scenes like how the bravo and alpha team interacted with one another and were both cramped up inside the same office. It's a real treat to any big fans of the original Resident Evil. In fact I read it so much that it started to fall apart as you can see in my picture albums. The only books I could recommend would be that one and "Nemesis." The Resident Evil 2 novelization called "City of the Dead" is pretty good, but it's basically like watching the game, not too much exploration or depth in this one. "zero hour" is probably the worst one of the series other than the original stories simply because she basically wrote the game scene by scene.

Nemesis describes the mercenaries landing in Raccoon city flawlessly. That whole scene where the soldiers first come into contact with the zombies captured the feeling of Resident Evil extremely well. The cheesiest thing I've probably ever read in the books was Barry making fun of Chief Iron's bad mood by saying, " You think he took a shit today? Maybe we should all pitch in and get him a box of enemas", or something like that. The funniest thing I've ever read in the books is a conversation between Barry and Joseph that goes something like this.
Joseph: I think o'l Barry's getting old, ya know memory's the first thing to go...
Barry: Yea well o'l Barry could easily kick your ass into next week little man.
Joseph: Yea, but would you remember it afterwards?

She isn't exactly the greatest author. I have been able to find more bad dialogue and people being completely out of character. It's just I've only read the one book (and struggled through it) and I'm not too keen to read more unless I really, REALLY have to. I've got the next video lined up with an example of Perry making something seem really dirty unintentionally. It isn't just the dialogue.

The thing with authors like Perry who essentially publish bad or mediocre fan fiction is that the things that they do wrong tend to pop up more than once.

Spoiler:

show spoiler

its not about Jills dad "Dick" is it??? The book would be Nemesis

that killed me when i read that in the one book....

[Helegad]

It's probably why Helegad reads them.

I hope that was a joke.

Swearing is quite normal for me.

[Canas Renvall]

Those movies are trash and if you cant see that then you like Resident Evil for the wrong damn reason.

So it's okay for Leon to dodge lasers but Alice can't (oh wait, she never does)?

It's okay for Leon to be a Matrix dodging machine but Alice can't?

It's okay for Alexia to have psychic-esque abilities but Alice can't?

It's okay for Leon to be the center of attention but Alice can't?

It's okay for Leon to act like a badass but Alice can't?

It's okay for Leon to shatter heads into pieces with one single kick but Alice can't when Leon is (supposedly) a normal human?

It's okay for Leon to kill upward of 900 people but Alice can't (and again, never does)?

It's okay for Saddler to have tentacles but Tyrant Isaac can't?

RE4 and the RE movies are more alike than you think (save for Alexia, thank goodness she wasn't in the "bargain bin TRASH" that was RE4). The difference being that in the movies, it doesn't affect the storyline whereas, go figure, RE4 (unfortunately) does. That's another reason I like the movies. They don't take the storyline and, like RE4 did... chained it up buck-naked outside in the middle of winter and dump cold water on it until it freezes to death, then melt it in the spring and lather it in honey so the bugs can eat the carcass clean.

On topic...

@REmaster: Caliban Cove could've been a lot better, yeah. And Underworld could've been improved, but I still liked it. I still think Code: Veronica is her weakest in the series though. The adaptations of the first three games were nicely done, I personally liked City of the Dead the best to be honest.

Ah good old Frankie living of pac just like the outlawz his cashing on his crappy Tupac: Assassination vol 1 & 2 dvd's as we speak.

Wise words, SexyCheez.
I've read them all and enjoyed the ones based on the games. I liked the way they stay very close to the games and I find when reading them, I'm taken back to the streets and rooms that I know so well. If you've played all the games a lot (I have), reading the books is like replaying the games in your head.
But she's not a great author. I too, do a LOT of reading and Perry's skills are quite amateurish and childish. I cringe a bit when reading some of her stuff. I don't think she's terrible but she's far from great.
I like the books because I love Resident Evil so much but I can imagine a real writer doing the job SOooo much better. But unfortunately a real writer wouldn't lower themselves to writing a novelization of a videogame. I'm glad Perry did it (even though it was just for cash) and I'd like to see RE4, RE5, Dead Aim and Survivor done too.

Well they weren't paying her for her talent. Apparently Perry is a popular author of a bunch of different franchise novels. Almost all of those kinds of authors (You know, the ones that get their FanFictions published) are mediocre and camp.

[WeskerSexyCheez]

I never was trying to change anyone's minds about the movies or books, I'm just saying that they're in the same boat for me, so I find it strange that people can defend Perry but diss Anderson. I only like the games, I find the novels and movies to be mediocre.

And why does Anderson have to PROVE he's a fan? I've come across some complete assholes who write SHIT about the games, and they're fans. Imagine if they were the ones making the films? Fans don't always do things right, and people quite obviously don't do things the same. Anderson could very well be deluded enough to think he is paying great homage to the franchise, and obviously making movies takes a lot more time, money and effort than writing a short, mediocre book. Why are people under the impression that he is purposely destroying the franchise just to piss you off? He isn't, you know. You have to feel pretty strongly about making a film beofre you do. I just get from Perry's writing that she uses it to make money, since she doesn't have as much to lose as Anderson.

And you might say the bad reception that the movies have gotten would shed some light to Anderson, but that's not true. If a million people were to tell me something I'd made that I liked was shit, I still wouldn't listen. Immature, perhaps, but I'm willing to bet he's the same way.

GETTING BACK ON TOPIC!

I finished the next video. I'm still looking for more pieces of the books to use.

[P Anderson DIE]

I never said Re4 was good infact I've never mentioned Re4 to you because if I did you'd know I think its crap. So all that you sad about Leon doesnt mean anything to me, I aint a fan. I like Re1,2,3 and Code lets see you slag them off. All im saying is all a director had to do was base a film in a big kick ass mansion throw in same zombies bit of survial horror, tension, blood, little bit of action a sexy Jill Valentine (Not pitbull Alice) and a hell of alot of fun, its not hard I could write a better script than Anderson did no problem and I've never wrote a script in my life but to beat what he put out hm id say most of the population of the planet could write a better script than he did. Anyway im done with talking bout his crappy film. I just wanna talk about the books from now on.

[WeskerSexyCheez]

It's easy to write something better when you already know what you're up against. So that makes it kind of void.

There's certainly not a lot of point in buying or even renting the books when you can simply dig up better fan fiction based on the exact same thing. Of course, if you want to read Perry's original ones, go ahead.

It's just sad that the second one person comes up with a good idea, a thousand others mooch off it.

Holy shit....the penis slide! I remember laughing at that for hours one night when my friends and I were a bit too tipsy. And the rest of the video was awesome too. Lesbianism in the RE world...it would certainly be better than some of the hetero couples they try to shove down our throats.
