I have nothing but PURE UNADULTERATED optimism for that movie.

They are doing this, man.

They are making this happen.



Monopoly: The Movie* will be way better though.

*Not the actual title. I think.

We already have space invaders and I never really liked board games so.. Pacman perhaps?

(Although we do already have RL pacman.)

Risk the movie? I guess make a war movie, slap noticeable colors on each army, and focus on something like the tragedy of war, or the inner struggles of a single soldier/plattoon and it could work.

The only way it would be true Risk (and therefore probably not a good movie) is if the major conflicts occurred between Brazil and North Africa, and Greenland and Iceland. Yeah... what we really want to see on the big screen.

You forget the eternal Alaska-Kamchatka war that makes the Israel-Palestine conflict look tame. Meanwhile, the United States and China are near-demilitarized nations, and nobody cares about Japan. Sea travel is extremely limited.

Some countries will change hands six times during the course of the movie.

But then they'll need an actor who sits in darkened rooms chewing pills and listening to repetitive music (is it too soon for a Heath Leger quip?). Dunno if this has been posted here before, but how about Minesweeper?

Anyway, I'll be interested to see how this gets on. Could make an interesting viewing, and if Sony could make a Michael Jackson film at fairly short notice, this one could well work (same with Battleship, actually). But the idea of a Candyland movie disturbs me somewhat.

I'd think Candyland the movie would be no less adaptable to a family flick than say Alice in Wonderland, or the Wizard of Oz, even though it's unlikely it would ever be a classic like said two.

Hmm... looking back, Candyland did have quite an interesting and diverse cast... could we be seeing a new power arise from the bowels of Rezephua's dark and sugary past?!!

EDIT:

What about Rezephua: The Movie?

"It's like Jurassic Park + Gladiator!"

Here's a fanfic review first posted at Fanfiction.net, that I borrowed from the So Bad It's Horrible Quotes page from the TV Tropes Wiki. It is better written and more entertaining than 99.7% of all FF.net's fanfics.

x'D That's brilliant.

Rock Into Mordor: the song, for fans of the Boromir "Walk Into Mordor" meme.

I knew Palin's book Going Rogue was going to be polarizing, but not quite that much.


As I type this there are 143 five-star reviews, 124 one-star reviews and 29 any-other-rating reviews.

And that's why nobody actually reads reviews. Or books, for that matter!

I expect that 90% of those voters don't even know where a bookstore is, and those who do haven't read the book anyways.

This bit scared me.
