Well, it might be interesting if it was a movie ABOUT Tetris, the first video game from behind the Iron Curtain. I know, I know... I can hear some of you younglings saying "The Iron What?..." but for those of us born around 1970, it was kinda a big deal when it happened.
Seems more a dope than a jerk. But I agree, a Jus' folks tag would be best. Heck, why not make a Tetris Movie? Just because it cant/shouldn't ever be made doesn't mean it won't be.
I think a Tetris movie would go something like this: Giant tetroids begin falling to Earth, aligning in a massive line around the world, sectioning it into two halves. Unable to find a means to fight off this falling menace, humanity quickly strives to do what they can in setting up resources and communication, accepting their new cut off lifestyles for the next 5-10 years.
Suddenly the dormant wall becomes active, digging and mining into the earth, planning to bisect it cleanly through. With a more serious issue now afoot, humanity must once more reconsider their options to rally together and fight this menacing wall. Perhaps they can find the answer in a straight tetroid which failed to align on the wall...
Well, there was that longform HOward & Nester comic/strategy guide that rendered the two as plasticine Tetris pieces, so that's something; if they can make a narrative out of it for a comic, then a motion picture can't be too far out of reach.
Awesome indeed!
ReplyDeleteCurious why this is tagged as "jerks". Seems like a Jus' Folks moment, unless I am missing something.

Why don't they make a Farmville Movie? I can't wait to see the ending!
ReplyDeleteI imagine it would be quite the blockbuster.
ReplyDeleteMost movies need a plot, even if it is razor thin.
ReplyDeleteA Tetris movie would make about as much sense as a Tic-Tac-Toe (featuring Romey-O and Julie-X) movie or a Battleship movie... oh wait... crap!
ReplyDeleteThere actually is a trailer for Tetris: the Movie on Youtube.
ReplyDeleteI picture it being a bit like 'The Cube', but with more Stalinist overtones.
ReplyDeleteScrew Tetris. When is Pong going to get a major motion picture?

ReplyDeleteWe're already getting a Battleship movie. Why the hell not at this point?
ReplyDeleteRyan Gosling as the long piece, Angelina Jolie as the zig-zag piece... Yeah, this could work.*
ReplyDelete*No it couldn't.

Why is this guy a jerk? I don't get it.

ReplyDeleteGood lord, I think that I know this person.
