Who else is pumped up for Tetris: The Movie?

Seriously? That's what we've come to? We've run out of every original idea, we've adapted every decent short story and novel, revamped every television and old time radio show, turned every comic book to live action, leaving us with the only thing to make a movie out of is a game that has no story line, no plot, no point beyond colored blocks falling down?

Well forget it. I'll wait until they make a movie out of checkers.

... I am writing a screenplay for PacMan, the movie. Is that bad?

BTW, I spent nine bucks on Tiddlywinks, the Movie. It was okay, but I woyldn't recommend it to others.

That would be AWESOME! My sister called it Wocky Wocky Wabos. She will be excited as well.

...I would probably pay to see Hungry Hungry Hippos the Movie. But I suspect we'll get Jenga the Movie and Tic Tac Toe the Movie first.

I expect it'll start pretty slow, but by the end you won't be able to keep up with all the action.

And, really, if they're doing video games, they skipped right over the classics - what about Pong, or Frogger?

If the audience fills a row of seats, will it disappear?

Not bad. Late.

If they delve into the history of Tetris, there's the bones for a decent movie about a small Russian creator whose work spirals out of his control, struggling to get the rights back from massive foreign companies who've stolen his work and are making a fortune on it.

Or they could just adapt this amazing history of Soviet Russia, to the Tetris tune, and turn that into a movie. Actually, I don't think we need a Tetris movie, that video will do fine.

I see no one learned anything from the Battleship movie.

Battleship made about 100 million dollars in revenues over budget.

*sigh*

I'm waiting for Cootie: the Movie, The Ants In Your Pants Movie, and Parcheesi.

Don't overlook the dramatic possibilities of Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

Yep. I'm sure that's what Kasanoff was referring to when he said: "This isn't a movie with a bunch of lines running around the page..."

That would be cool. It's probably going to be more like this, though. But not as cool.

There's potential in Frogger. Dreamworks?

I'm personally holding out for Q*Bert, but they'll probably get rid of the cursing to make it family friendly.

Well we had Battleship, Lego, and Facebook... surely a Tetris movie isn't too farfetched.

Hub and I taught our 8 year old girls the game Clue and it has become a favorite. We were looking at the old movie trailer for the Clue movie, and it actually looks pretty funny. But then, there were characters. And a plot. So, I guess it kind of works.
