Thought the same thing.

here's the original on poetv, although it's a shitty version where someone replaced the soundtrack with shitty music. I put in a resubmit of the original. http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=77322

I was thinking the Video Game episode of Futurama.

put down your crack pipe and your beer bong

That's a good episode of Futurama, yeah.

Yes it actually is based upon the short. Fuck this movie because Adam Sandler.

Someone sent the script back with a note reading, "Sandler MUST say the name of every game characters encounter out loud. It is impossible to underestimate the intelligence of his audience."

That's what I said. But I'll prolly see it anyways. Cuz that's how I am.

same here TT

he has a funny face

Who will inform the Widow Pacman about this movie?

MONKEYS AREN'T DONKEYS.

QUIT MESSING WITH MY HEAD!

Also 5 for the most stereotypical Asian since Donger in Sixteen Candles.

Oh. Directed by Chris Columbus. He's like the shitty, alive version of John Hughes.

Seriously though, they blew up an 8 minute segment into 90 minutes and I doubt it will be half as funny as those 8 minutes. How can anyone want to see this? I wonder if it has "The Boys Are Back In Town" on the soundtrack.

I guess I'm getting a little cranky in my old age.

Holy shit. I didn't even see the Patrick Jean credit on imdb. I'm surprised they gave him credit at all. The first instance I remember was from Alex Garland's The Beach

yeah.. let's just forget about that.. and of course Futurama. The concept's nothing new. I guess I can feel better knowing that Mr. Jean is probably set for life, but at what price? This could've been really good!

Oh my goodness! He has a "story" credit!! For ripping off Futurama? That makes this 5 for evil. Sorry fedex.

lol I dont care, its not my movie. I cant stand Adam Sandler or Mall cop either, but Ill gladly pay my twelve bucks to see my childhood arcade favorites destroy a city in shot after trucks-of-burning-money shot!

Yeah.. it would be fun especially in 3D. The only movie I've seen in actual 3D was Godzilla, and the backstory, while well-acted and such, was unnecessary, especially when wearing glasses. From the trailer it doesn't really seem like an Adam Sandler or Blart Cop vehicle. There'll be some dumb dialog, a few "obscure" references to game culture that'll be obvious to anyone who's been on the internet in the last 5 years, but I can't argue with the coolness of a giant Mr. Pac Man destroying the city..

Another thing I didn't really take into consideration until just now: I'm really not part of the Pac Man generation; I was born in 1982 and really didn't start playing videogames until the early 90s. I still loved Pac Man, but by that time there was an established story: he had a family, a job, and was unquestionably the good guy. But in '82, it's like "wait, so he's going into THEIR house and stealing their pellets and food, for the sole purpose of finding a mate and creating more Pac Men?" Or, maybe these Space Invaders just want to do their laundry, like in the Futurama episode. Not sure if people thought that back then or not, but I could see people of James and Sandler's age finding that really funny, funnier than I could perceive when most games at least had some backstory: hell, I'm willing to bet that a lot of people who played the original Zelda thought that Zelda was the dude.

So, I dunno.. if it was Seth Rogen and James Franco I don't think it'd make a difference, or Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for that matter. If this WERE directed by Edgar Wright and had pretty much the same dialogue in the trailer, I probably wouldn't have bitched so much. But I agree with ROUS' comment below: I would watch the fuck out of something a little more like Joon-ho Bong's The Host, which focuses more on the creators themselves having to deal with the messes that they made and less about the comedy antics of America's favorite comedy team.. but we can dream..

Holy crap Lois, this is almost as bad as that time a mediocre cartoonist managed to embed himself in the pop-cultural landscape

If this movie were 90% crazy Japanese inventor and 10% Adam Sandler (as his sidekick) I would love watching this. But Hollywood won't do that, because it hates me.

It came close.. it's right above here, but if Joon-Ho Bong's excellent Snowpiercer had been seen by, like, anybody, it could've made for more intelligent (but still fun) monster movies like The Host. I mean, it's not the scientists directly who have to deal with the monster they created (and when they try they fail of course), and for all I know the main family are celebrities on the same level (?) of James and Sandler in South Korea, but it could've happened! Instead we have Chris Columbus, director of nothing good, unless you have a bit of a soft spot for Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire.. which, yeah I still cry at the end of both of those. BUT STILL!

Chris Columbus can't do anything right and you know it.

Zombies don't need coffins.

stars for you!

Sandler was really good in Punch Drunk Love, and plays well at losing his temper in Happy Gilmore, and of course there was the classic oh wait I'm defending Adam Sandler?

I automatically pictured a hilarious scene where somehow Adam Sandler's ass gets pumped full of AIDS somewhere in this movie, with a closeup shot of him howling with his mouth in a big "O" WOMP WOMP

My vision is that Kevin James will play the big fat ass, Adam Sandler will play the anthropomorphic AIDS juice. David Spade and Rob Schneider will guest star as two weeping hemorrhoids. It will be the Citizen Kane of Adam Sandler comedies.

He makes Will Sasso look like James Dean.

Paul Blart Mall Cop might be the worst movie I've ever seen. One of my housemate's ex girlfriends rented it while her boyfriend was at work and she was feeling down, and I thought I'd be nice and keep her company. Very sweet girl but seriously, she had the worst taste in movies she rented herself, but loved Pedro Almodovar and other random DVDs of mine that she'd come across too, so she wasn't a Basic Bitch.. but that night it was PBMC and Not Another Teen Movie. The latter was better.

The latter had the amazon from the power rangers movie stark naked for a quarter of the movie, of course it was better.

Holy shit it was the Yellow Ranger! We were both trying to figure it out but neither of us cared enough to imdb it or anything. I miss that girl. We had perfect chemistry and got along and I even helped her move her stuff out when she broke up with dude.. she admitted that she liked me first, but for whatever reason that's against some code I have, even though the guy turned out being a prick and she's in texas now. I'm rambling.

The thing about hipster girls is that they seem like they're perpetually in the process of breaking up with their boyfriend, on account of most hipster guys being spineless dweebs.

I actually did hook up under the same circumstances. Both were living together in my apartment. The guy was some twerp unemployed "artist" who would be gone for a month at a time. The third time that happened, she offered to smoke weed with me out in the common room but wanted to "put on something more comfortable". She came out with the exact same outfit but sans any pants! After some smoking and drinking she complain she hadn't had any dick in a month.

It was 3 days until I moved out so...fuck it.

*highfive*

Yes. We can use the money to buy some land in Wyoming or Western Australia and start a sovereign nation.

and the currency of said nation? Boo-Money!

I groaned when I saw him. Oh well, I bet he got a bathtub filled with cash for doing this.

It's not the first time. I can't think of another actor who played the exact same character in a British film and the dumbed down American remake (Death At a Funeral) who is still considered an Oscar/Emmy-worthy actor in his or her own right.

or anybody, for that matter, except for maybe Ricky Gervais popping up on American Office and things like that..

Have you been hanging out with Chocolate Jesus again?

go eat shit you driveling loser

oddeye is right but chocolate jesus said it best

aww I love you guys too

I hate movie tie-in games (seriously I stopped playing Fruit Ninja when they did the Ghostbusters thing) but this one actually looks kinda fun, and the music's pretty cool too. Once again, like the original PIXELS guy, somebody sold out, and good for them I guess, but I can imagine the indie game development world is a bit like most local coffee shops: basically, if you worked for Starbucks, you're not getting a job even if you're a really good barista because you became part of the system. Just don't blow it on blow, guys.

Change and Adam Sandler, up in a tree...

you try to live a life by standards you can accept because you could never meet the standards of other human beings
