They've raped my childhood.

This thread is rapist.

Good news for ruined childhoods everywhere. They made a movie based on.... BATTLESHIP!

I love board game movies. I'm waiting for Parcheesi: the movie (in 3D of course). Sorry: The Movie Musical. And of course, Checkers. I think Tick Tack Toe would make a great thriller too.

At least the Battleship movie is directed by somebody respectable, Peter Berg (I am willing to forget Hancock), and stars Taylor Kitsch aka Tim Riggins. Yum.

Seeing Tin Tin, I adored the TV series that stuck with the original to such a degree that images were practically transposed directly from the albums to the screen, go from its iconic Herge animation, that made it so unique in the first place, to uncanny valley motion capture animation. It is going to be hard for me to look beyond the film's aesthetic and judge the film on its own merits. This despite the fact a lot of people I like in the movie industry are apart of the film's creative team. I know Herge himself gave Spielberg his okay to do a Tin Tin movie but did he foresee motion-capture animation?

OTHELLO: No, Not That One - The Movie!

Well, they did make CLUE into a film and that was a board game.

Me? I'm still waiting for CONNECT FOUR: THE MOVIE

[SeanMartin]

Posted: 8/3/11 at 5:22pm

Hey, at least CLUE has a bit of a possible storyline to work with.

[strummergirl]

Gore Verbinski is still shopping another Clue movie to studios. I liked the first one with all of its flaws and quirks but another movie?

[best12bars]

Posted: 8/3/11 at 7:16pm

I think the Game of Life would be a good one.

Also Candyland.

[SeanMartin]

Posted: 8/3/11 at 7:22pm

Candyland's been done already.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429732/

although there's this little mystery

[best12bars]

Posted: 8/3/11 at 7:35pm

Not only has it been done, apparently they're doing it again!

Does anybody remember the board game Which Witch?

That would make a good movie.

Just remember that It's a Wonderful Life started as a Christmas card. So did South Park for that matter. A video Christmas card (on VHS, no less).

I want to make a movie out of a book. Isn't that a NOVEL idea?!?!

:: Groan ::

Yeah, yeah I know....

[SeanMartin]

Posted: 8/4/11 at 10:10am

I'm actually surprised no one's thought to do MYSTERY DATE.

Or is that too obvious?

[Mildred Plotka]

Posted: 8/4/11 at 11:52am

I'm sure the Hungry Hungry Hippos movie is just around the corner...

[doodlenyc]

I want M. Night Shyamalan to direct the Connect Four film. The twist ending? Diagonal! Pretty sneaky!

And the only way I'll go see a Battleship film is if we get Charles Napier screaming "G4, dammit!" into a radio, followed by a scene of a giant peg crashing through a tiny patrol boat (but it still stays afloat until Napier yells G5, hitting it with a second peg). As a bonus, the studio could keep some of the props for "Cribbage: The Movie."

I also saw they're making a film out of the Atari game Missile Command. Seriously.

Great..then it'll be:

"Pong: the Motion Picture"

I doubt anybody remembers this, but when the very first Atari 2600 was lanched, it included a game called Outer Space. There were two game variations included. One was as if you were in the cockpit of a space ship and you dodged oncoming asteroids. The other was my favorite. It was a two player game where one person was a lunar lander and the other person was a moon. The lunar lander had to land on the moon and fire its jets to receive a point. Sort if like playing tag. But the moon always moved more slowly, so there really was no possibility of escape.

I could get into a film about that. The slow moon inable of escaping its fate of mankind's interstellar flatulance.

They have already planned a sequel for August 2, 2013.


Sony sets release date for 'Smurfs 2'

The only thing worse would be Smurf The Musical

I didn't want to waste money to see this at the cinema so I watched part of it online and couldn't stand hearing Katy Perry do voice-over. It was the worst.
