Title: New PIXEL movie
Post by: Richardgregory on May 27, 2015, 07:21:29 am

Anyone see the new Adam Sandler movie about video games?  I hope it works - it'll be nice to see some of the old arcade classics come to life.

There was a thread on here about how it was going to suck big time...

*edit* more than one it looks like.

Reminded me a lot of this RocketJump short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7MDMdfcRfI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7MDMdfcRfI)

Wonder if that's where the idea came from...

I think there is a slight chance it could be awesome.  Peter Dinklage can do no wrong.  Unfortunately the rest of the cast are the bane of my existence.  I don't have a problem with Adam Sandler like 90% of the rest of the world, but given his recent track record.... yikes.  If nothing else I think Dinklage is going to eat up the furniture on any scene he's in, and it'll be a good chuckle just to see him.

Yeah ever since Adam Sandler did happy gilmore people fail to see the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- that he puts out. I mean, if you take a thousand photos ONE of them has to be good... the last decade of him has just been about a kid who gets saggy over time. I like that it's about arcade games in a very roundabout sort of way, but I don't have high hopes for it.

We watched "Blended" recently.  I expected it to stickbased on the reviews and Sandler's recent track record.  While not high art it was funny and our family enjoyed it. 

My kids are excited to see Pixel based on the subject matter alone so we will likely see it in the theater.

I'll watch it when after home release. I will enjoy its humor. I will forget about it a week later.  ;)

his remake of the longest yard & click were actually out of his comfort-zone & enjoyable.
Blended was ok. but my kids love it.
After watching it like 5 times.........

Loved 50 First Dates.  Liked Wedding Singer too, but that's cause I've got a crush on Barrymore.   :dunno
