so, you have probably heard they are making a movie out of the classic puzzle game we call "Tetris"

whats your opinion on this?



Personally I think it is one of the worst ideas i heard in a long time.. first of all its supposed to have a "story" and "show that Tetris is more than putting blocks in a line"..
Tetris is NOT anything more than putting blocks in a line.. its a simple yet addicting game, and thats perfectly fine!

giving a Story to Tetris is like giving a story to tic-tac-toe or rock-paprer-scissors, it just won't work..

plus its made by the same guys as the Mortal Kombat movies, which were terrible, than again, game based Movies NEVER work

I think its just their way of profiting on our child-hood nostalgia



anyways, enough of my rant, whats your opinion on the Tetris film?

All I know is that it'll undoubtedly have the best movie soundtrack of all time.

Ugh. Agreed.

-Edit-

It'd be perfect for a mocu-u-drama. Over the top seriousness about how one was so addicted to Tetris that it affected, work, marriage, grades...high stakes tournements, etc. Something like Best in Show.

It could be hilarious!

I actually thought Battleship was kind of a fun movie (although obviously a repurposed script for some other alien invasion movie changed to fit the title.)

You ask me, who cares? Could be good, could be bad. If it's bad, then I don't see the harm, and if it turns out to be a fun and interesting movie then that's great. too.

...

What?

I honestly have no idea how to respond to this information. I have no idea how you can make a story out of Tetris.

I'm going to have to see this thing.

Well they made a game out of Battleship. I didn't think it was possible. Like the movie so who knows, the Tetris movie can be ok. If someone is imaginative enough, anything is possible.

Apparently the writers are having a tough time.

Every time they finish a line, it disappears.

After they made a movie out of Battleship, there's no more ways Hollwood can surprise me in how much crap they'll pull from a sewer to try and pass off as a movie. It's only a matter of time before they try to make a movie about a sandwich wrapper in a trash can.

Next, bejeweled the movie!

Nah, the indie "artistes" will take that one on.

Maybe it will be an epic cold war drama about the failure of the Buran space shuttle project?

gotta say, your avatar really fit with that post

Not sure about this. I used to use Tetris as a facetious example of a role playing game (in my head), imagining myself as a loader at the end of a conveyor belt.

This is just silly.

When's Pong getting a reality TV series?
