I’ve found it to be the opposite, here. Most arcades I’ve been to recently only take tokens, which cost much more than a quarter. Either that, or they only accept $1/$2 coins (in Canadia)

Weirdly, although completely ripping off the plot of the story from Futurama’s “Anthology of Interest II”, officially the movie is an adaptation of the French short, Pixels, making it doubly derivative:
At least the guy who made the short got paid off…

Harry Dean Stanton did the Care Bears movie, but he says he has no recollection of it. Even a shitty movie can buy a lot of really good drugs…

Thing is I liked few of sandler’s movies.
Happy Gilmore was great.
Billy Madison… I hated. Just… I fucking hated it.
Fifty First Dates. Actually kinda enduring.
Click. Great. Started out light and fun and then got progressively darker.
This? The fact the girls are token at best, one of the ‘dream’ girls that is a game character dies, then is a ‘reward’ for winning. Just… BLEH.
Yeah, now it’s special. Oh well. I’ll wait for an Amazon sale.
I recognized the whole-fabric ripoff from trailer one. They even had the IRL Space Invaders gag.
Do they end the movie handing over a lot of quarters to Lrrr, ruler the planet Omicron Persei 8 so he can do his laudry?

I’ve actually seen that (I have a kid and it has Chrstina Ricci, who is also awesome)… much like his appearance in X-Men, his size has nothing to do with his character.
