[Permalink]

Which was based on a Futurama episode, that cracked literally just put an article up on.

I guess this is the most creative Hollywood can get anymore? Stretching a wonderful 2.5 minute short into a 2.5 hour affair?

I think cartmanā€™s A.W.E.S.O.M-O is a real thing, with proper adam sandler plots it steals from the internet. Jesus.

I was, like, ā€œthis looks so much fun-- Kevin James? Noooooo!ā€

The inimitable Kris Straub has [seen] it for [us].

Trivia:

Director Chris Columbus on the origin of Pixels: ā€œSandler came to me with an idea. He said, ā€˜what if I made a movie that showed my grandkids Iā€™ve heard of very old video games?'ā€

Gee insert sarcasm ya think Adam Sandler saw the original short?

Or that I need a cuppa coffee? LOLā€¦but itā€™s not goood for meeeeeā€¦

How weird is it that the video game characters in the original short look a hundred times better than their big-budget silver screen versions? Did someone think it was a good idea to make them out of Lite-Brite pegs that are constantly glitching, instead of big chunky retro-looking pixel blocks like the short does?

Spoiler Alert: The Aliens die of Dysentery.

Iā€™m just thankful it isnā€™t based on a comic book.
