Had to share:
Television Without Pity wrote about the creative abandoned well that is movies made about board games more than 2 years ago! And, the Battleship movie was the first on their list, already in production. Well, since it took that long to make, it’s got to be good, right?
My favorite part was noting that Real Steel bears some resemblance to another table game, and the list of board game movies that were supposedly in production at that time. Still waiting for Ridley Scott’s Monopoly…
And, I’m a little bit sad that only one of you has taken on the challenge I’ve thrown down. Here, I’ll make it easier: What would a movie based (or not based, as is the case with Battleship) on “Sorry” look like? Go to it!
“Sorry: Occupy’s Origins.” We trace the stories of 5 key figures in the Occupy movement, each of whom was driven to the protest after being bounced from their homes (on which they defaulted due to losing their jobs in the Recession) when 1%-ers evicted them and took over their homes. “Sorry!”
See, now that captures the spirit of connection to source material that Battleship started! Nicely done.
