This confirms my idea that Hollywood has run out of movie ideas. Any thoughts?

Oh ya I saw that trailer too. Have no idea how this will play out. I agree w/ you that if Hollywood gives us something like this, they clearly have run out of ideas.

The trailer looked decent. The fact that its tied to a board game, however, is utter fail.

I just don't get the story basis. Like of all the board games, pick the one with no story. It's like making a movie about the game asteroid or space invaders.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

My initial reaction: WTF?!
Hollywood, and it seems media in general, don't really have much ideas to throw around anymore.

Just wait until they come out with
Parcheesi in Imax & 3D, and it's sequels,
Sorry! and
Ludo.
And then two years later they'll make a reboot of all three with the subtitle: "First Class."

I'm still waiting for LA or some other company do a remake of the original trilogy. I mean 4-6 are good but I feel like they lack the amount of special effects that we have today. I would either like a remake with still all the same actors (maybe change Luke & Leia's) and everything or do a completely new episode/trilogy based in the EU to have something more to build on.
I know that's slightly off topic but that's what I would like to see

I can't wait for the Saw-style Sorry movie. Four people forced to kill each other until there is only one. Only then can they reach their safety zone and be rescued from the labyrinth of traps set up by the cruel and conniving Diceface.

I can't really say much about Battleship. Teancum said it best. When I first heard the idea there was a small part of me that said give it a chance. That part died when I saw there were aliens involved.

Movies that have Liam Neeson are all the better for it, but he usually overshadows the story with his awesome. I imagine the same will happen here, where it'll be all Liam Neeson, no story.

First I thought it was a top gun style movie for the navy, which would have been a fail anyway, and then I saw aliens, and immediately thought not again. If they can't think of anything original, Hollywood has to use aliens. It just gets a bit boring.

Why is that? I enjoyed Top Gun.

I concur :plokoon:
Top Gun is a great movie,
for what it is. I would have liked to see that, not this alien bullcrap.

I liked Top Gun too, especially the soundtrack, but I just think it's style is a bit dated for a current movie, although I agree, it would be better than another alien feature.
