Title: What's with all these licensed movies?
Post by: Tupin on July 08, 2009, 08:58:55 PM
First, there was all those announcements of The Sims, Metal Gear Solid, and other licensed materials coming to the big screen, but some new ones are taking the cake in the "being weird" category.

Okay, first up is a Macgruber movie. Macgruber is a sketch on SNL. I just find it funny that a parody of something gets a movie before the source material.

Yes, a movie based on a game from 1979, Asteroids. No comment.

How the heck do you make a movie out of this? It's not even a character, it's just a Viewmaster.  :|

Between this and the Candyland and Battleship movies, what will they look for as inspiration next?

I...HATE...Hollywood. SO D*AMN MUCH.

At this point they're all unoriginal talentless hacks who don't even deserve to direct/write/produce grade school Peter Rabbit plays.

Tetris is an innuendous video game. Tetris: The Movie would pretty much be a porno.
