Tetris: The Movie

[Nabber]

well, by "much better material" i was thinking primarily of tetris

it's true that a competent director could make a decent movie out of something like, i don't know, halo. i'm not a halo expert, so i really can't say. but the thing is that many video game plots aren't meant to hold their own as plots; they're the framework for the gameplay itself, and don't have a good narrative structure.

 

[GalacticPetey]

Same can be said about books. Things like Green Eggs and Ham don't really have a movie worth plot.

...which is why it hasn't been turned into a movie. and i don't really think you can compare a childrens book with a novel...

 

[GalacticPetey]

Ehem.

Oh man that's hard to look at.

 

[Nabber]

which leads back to me point. it's hard to make a good adaptation of some things without significantly changing some aspect of it

or, yes, make a bad adaptation. sure whatever

mary poppins

 

[Milo Thatch]

Let me guess, that movie got lousy ratings.

 

[GalacticPetey]

It's a godawful movie based off of a very pleasant and enjoyable children's book.

[GalacticPetey]

I assume you're joking because I can't imagine someone being shallow enough to think a movie is good because a certain actor is in it.

An actor can have bad performances.

 

[Magikrazy]

I don't know where I found this info about the new Tetris movie. It says that this is going to be a sci-fi movie.

So this movie adaptation is going to be about aliens invading Earth by sending Tetrominos. Kind of similar to the upcoming Space Invaders movie adaptation.

i was joking with the love guru, but frankly i did really enjoy the cat in the hat

no joke there



also i did find one actor who's simply perfect in everything he's in, and that's Brendan Gleeson. Seems like he's that good really.

As if this movie hasn't had enough grain of salt going for it, this movie is being produced/financed by the same guy who did the same job for FOODFIGHT

And recently the budget for this film has been announced to be $80 MILLION. That's nearly twice as much as Foodfight's budget.

 

[MoonAge]

honestly if Ice-T doesn't play the T Block this movie is dead to me
