Classic video game characters attack Earth in Pixels trailer.

[Werewolf]

Beloved classic video game characters out to destroy mankind.

Umm, yeah, I'm not sure I'm really digging that.

neat idea, it lost me as soon as I saw Sandler.

OHHH MY LORD! This is incredible!

The movie could SUCK and the video game references ALONE will make it worth a night out at the movie theatre with some other old men!

And what if they make MERCH?

New Pac-Man and Donkey Kong action figures (plus who knows what else---Q*BERT, DIG DUG, who knows!)

how did I not hear about this until now----wow, just WOW.

Beloved classic video game characters out to destroy mankind.

Umm, yeah, I'm not sure I'm really digging that.

Vintage video gamer affection aside, it's irony like that that constitutes clever writing throughout history.

And, it stands to reason that if there wasn't a huge respect for the source material (i.e. classic video games), that this movie would never have gotten off the ground in the first place.

I just read the wiki page---and, it confirms something strange---
The plot of this movie (PIXELS) is awful similar to the second part of the FUTURAMA episode titled ANTHOLOGY OF INTEREST II

Fry asks the What If Machine to show a world that is more like a video game, beginning a new simulation.
As the simulation starts, President of Earth Richard Nixon is preparing to sign a treaty with Ambassador Kong of planet Nintenduu 64. Ambassador Kong attacks Nixon, and a state of war erupts.
Due to his extensive knowledge of video games from the 20th Century, Fry is brought to the Milatari headquarters and introduced to General Colin Pac-Man. Before Fry can impart his wisdom to the military, the Nintendians launch an attack on Washington, D.C., and they are forced into the escape tunnels, which resemble a Pac-Man board.They emerge from a Super Mario pipe outside the Planet Express building, where the Nintendian invaders, led by Lrrr, are blasting New New York. Fry situates himself at the controls of a rolling anti-aircraft artillery platform, and begins destroying the alien ships in a manner similar to Space Invaders. Fry is unable to destroy the final ship ("My brother always got it for me!"), which lands nearby. The invaders emerge, proclaim "All your base are belong to us", and demand "a million allowances worth of quarters" with which to do their laundry. The Earthlings refuse, a compromise is reached, and the Earth people agree to allow the Nintendians to throw their laundry in with Earth's.

neat idea, it lost me as soon as I saw Sandler.

I too despise Sandler ----and much of the dreck that he's unleashed on the movie-going public ---still, this looks like an "exception to the rule" of counting this flick out.
Why should the FROGGER Froggy suffer for the sins of LITTLE NICKY? Ha

[thunderbolt]

not me, I won't give Sandler a dime. I don't care if he was in the best movie of all time.

[huedell]

not me, I won't give Sandler a dime. I don't care if he was in the best movie of all time.

I have to say "I feel ya"....Sandler had a run of stuff, ending with LITTLE NICKY that made me wretch, wondering how he had such a huge audience for his movies---after LITTLE NICKY I bailed... I mean, I can't even think of a re-viewing of an old Sandler movie that I've even had the energy to re-watch---and I re-watch EVERY-thing.

The odds are that this videogame movie will be more of the same Sandler-refuse---but I'm just so psyched to experience the "Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, etc." love, if only briefly.

I did NOT mean to imply that I thought that there was any notable chance of this movie actually being good
