"I created a comedic, lovable loser who lives in Manhattan and works at a real estate company and he’s not very good at his job but he’s great at playing Monopoly. And the world record for playing is 70 straight days – over 1,600 hours – and he wanted to try to convince his friends to help him break that world record. They think he is crazy. They kid him about this girl and they're playing the game and there’s this big fight. And he’s holding a Chance card and after they’ve left he says, ‘Damn, I wanted to use that Chance card,’ and he throws it down. He falls asleep and then he wakes up in the morning and he’s holding the Chance card, and he thinks, ‘That’s odd.’"
"He’s all groggy and he goes down to buy some coffee and he reaches into his pocket and all he has is Monopoly money. All this Monopoly money pours out. He’s confused and embarrassed and the girl reaches across the counter and says, ‘That’s OK.’ And she gives him change in Monopoly money. He walks outside and he’s in this very vibrant place, Monopoly City, and he’s just come out of a Chance Shop. As it goes on, he takes on the evil Parker Brothers in the game of Monolopy. He has to defeat them. It tries to incorporate all the iconic imageries -- a sports car pulls up, there's someone on a horse, someone pushing a wheelbarrow -- and rich Uncle Pennybags, you're going to see him as the maître d' at the restaurant and he's the buggy driver and the local eccentric and the doorman at the opera. There's all these sight gags."
Fucking Christ. :rofl :rofl :rofl

Day one.

This one sounds like a straight-to-VHS release.
-
Well, the Clue movie is fucking awesome. :-\

Tell me this is a joke. Why isn't he doing Alien 5? :maf

Because he's doing Alien Saga: Episode I: The Phantom Chestburster.

Holy crap you weren't kidding. Am confused. :wtf

I would read a comic book adaptation written by Grant Morrison.
-
Sounds better than Wall Street and Glengarry Glen Ross combined.
-
After this succeeds (because people are stupid) I for one can't wait to be there on day one for the premiere of "Will Federman's Candyland"
-
:lol
I was talking to Eric P about that this morning.
<Eric P> The window is closing on your adaptation for Candyland!
:rofl

Sounds a tiny bit better than the premise for Battleship. It's the Navy vs. Aliens. Might as well call it The Abyss 2 instead of Battleship.

Yeah, you and me both. I don't want to get my dork on, discussing "canon" Alien crap, but didn't stuff in the AVP sequence essentially count as a prequel? Bishop android was based on the appearance of the billionaire asshole who was present in Antarctica in AVP, which chronologically takes place before Alien. ???

They're probably [hopefully] just ditching AvP all together.

Disposable white guy... an actual member? Mind blown.. :spin
-
Not only is he real, he sent me a drunk text last night. Two actually.
-
It was 3. I was preoccupied puking behind a 711 to notice that it didn't send due to low signal.
-
I seriously thought you referred to your friends as "disposable white guy".

lol
