List of things I wish were fake: (Pixels movie trailer)

It's that one episode of Futurama padded out to a feature length film

[Thorin]

That's gonna flop.  I just ... I can't see how anyone would be drawn in to come watch it.

The interesting thing is it appears to be based on a YouTube short of the same name

First Grumpy Cat, now this, is copying YouTube becoming a new sub-genre of bad movies?

Or that one episode of Community? Both were excellent imo.

EDIT: never mind, this is "pixel world enters OUR world" premise, so looks more like a Freddy Wong* short that got extended pointlessly to feature length (where's the Rob Schneider cameo?)




* or any number of other similar digital effects genius Youtubers such as https://www.youtube.com/user/CorridorDigital/videos



EDIT #2: aha, it IS an extended version of that video short we all saw a few years back. It was pretty cool. And tbh has more story potential than another Transformers film (and also probably, you know.)

Making it full length might be a fail, depending on how "Battleship"y the depth of the characters and plot go.

It could also be Patrick Jean's personal "District 9" success story...

Know what I noticed first? That over the top base rumble sound cheesy movies started using...

[Darren Dirt]

Sure, but the original plans to make it a feature were almost 5 years ago, so of course the way it's gonna be marketed (and possibly edited) are gonna have changed as the average audience's average expectations change year by year. I'm sure if it came out a few years ago there would less of an "Avengers 2" vibe to the trailer and more of an "Inception" vibe. #Marketing--Meh

[Mr. Analog]

I think the Inception Horn was added as a self-aware poke at the direction of sci-fi lately

I think

I think hope

[Darren Dirt]

I want a feature-length treatment of this. (the ticket printout would include a recommendation of pre-viewing ingestion of mind-altering substances)

[Mr. Analog]

I'm still waiting for the Half-Life / Portal crossover love story

[Mr. Analog]

As predicted: VERY BAD

...urge to re-watch Wreck-It Ralph

[Melbosa]

I'll still see it lol.  Saw Ant-Man Wednesday night and it was very good!

[Mr. Analog]

I'll still see it lol.  Saw Ant-Man Wednesday night and it was very good!

That's because Ant-Man is a good movie (80% fresh)

[Thorin]

Yeah, Wreck-It Ralph was much better than I can possibly imagine Pixels would ever be.

My little guy has been watching the Avengers Assemble cartoon, and just recently Ant-Man has been introduced and now joined them. I didn't realize Ant-Man was getting his own movie, that's awesome and I might just take him to it sometime soon.

By the way, if you or your kids like the Avengers Assemble cartoon, the Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. cartoon is really good, too.

Now if only they'd start posting Gravity Falls again...

[Mr. Analog]

Can always get caught up on Steven Universe / Star vs the Forces of Evil haha

[Thorin]

I tried Steven Universe, but I just couldn't get into it.
