On first impression he really does seem like a version of Jonah Hill you just want to smear on your boot to prevent him from spreading, like a virus, but when he actually starts performing he's surprisingly likable.

Judging from those Sony email leaks disparaging Sandler and his movies, these posters are probably the only good things to come out from that film.

The fact that i did not see aformentioned futurama episode makes this conversation very difficult to understand. Im looking at those posters trying to figure out wtf the plot could possibly be, and then Dinklage and the Hot Tub Time machine guy in weird 80s space / custodian suits and can someone explain this to me?

Futurama was a television show that ran out of steam after about three episodes but made references to really obscure things like Star Wars and Pac-Man, so it is good and beloved. The episode the posters are apparently ripping off starts when Fry goes, "Hey Lois, this reminds of that one time that Space Invaders was real!" and that happened.

There was a Futurama episode that was a series of short stories and one of them was "what if life was more like a videogame?" Fry had to save humanity from Space Invaders by basically playing Space Invaders. This is literally the same plot.

Not like a little superficial resemblance that'll get nerds in a tizzy either, it's the exact plot. It was dumb in 2001 too.

But in one of the posters, San Francisco is being eaten by Pacman, the player character! What, is Adam Sandler going to have to play as one of the ghosts? I find this hard to believe.

Thinking about it, even the nerdy jokes in that episode of Futurama were pretty weak; they were usually pretty great about fitting some obscure nerdy thing into a joke, but the references they hinged that whole mini-episode on were all pretty shallow. They were still earnest, though, and it felt a bit like a dad trying to connect with his kids; he's got a shallow reference pool, but he's genuinely trying to make them laugh. Pixels won't even be that. We'll be looking at that episode of Futurama like The IT Crowd to Pixels' Big Bang Theory.

That's because Futurama was always made by Nerd Dads from Gen X, it just didn't become obvious until after the DTV movies when the writing staff was shrunk and too old and out-of-practice to have any hip left in them. That's not to say there aren't good jokes, even in the Vidya Gayme episode, but gut-busters were never Futurama's strong suit-- occasional one-liners and speaking from a genuine 60s-80s nerdy kid perspective were. The surprise pathos in the later seasons of the original run were legit though... and then they tried shamelessly to replicate it with the new show and it came off as mawkish bullshit every single time. "But they do math jokes and there was that one episode where they came up with a real life algorithm?" Yes. Yes they did and we're all very proud of them. Those bits were still never very funny.

Probably the most telling thing is that even the Futurama writers didn't think the premise could be stretched into an entire episode.

Futurama was good because the writers weren't nerdy enough to make it all bad referential humor, not in spite of it.

Futurama was a show that lived and died on its punch-up. When they came back and they didn't have the resources to let the writer's room gently caress around make up one-liners and jokes to add to the script it became lame references and self-serious sci-fi.jet sanchEz posted:Is that the episode where someone said "All your base are belong to us!" and goons got excited because SA had started that poo poo? You might be thinking of when Family Guy did a Peanut Butter Jelly Time reference and the goon who made it got sent a bunch of Family Guy merch.

The Hokkusai Tsunami Godzilla one is pretty clever, but I can see why it remained an international poster, since I doubt most Americans know of the ukiyo-e printer. The Pacific Rim poster, I know, is done by the guy who does the designs for Metal Gear Solid.

Are you kidding me? 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' is probably THE work of Japanese art nearly every American recognizes, even if they don't know what it's called (I had to Google it myself just now).
