Having a WTF moment
So, as nearly all of you know by now, after a long, arduous day of inspiring and illuminating the masses (eg; sitting on my ass, running my mouth, and causing a general nuisance), I often like to spend my quiet-times frequenting this one cheesy little socializing/SWF gaming site. I make no apologies for this; it's fun, and I have made a couple of really great friends there. *tosses kissies @ agno3singer and rainlezzbow *
One of my favorite cheesy little SWF games on the site is called Jelly Blobs Of Doom. Basically, you are this cute little dinosaur made of bright green jelly. Using your four arrow keys to navigate, you have to "eat" floating pieces of purple, pink, orange, red, and yellow jelly that are smaller than you in order to grow larger and score points (he makes this cute little gulping sound), whilst avoiding the blobs that are larger than you, that will "eat" you if you touch them. I think the whole, morbid, cannibal-ish, Darwinian aspect of this is hilarious. Plus the bright colors are all cool.
So I just went on to play a game or three of it while I finish my coffee, and right under the game description, I see this:
Jelly Blobs of Doom: In a world where everything is made out of jelly, it's eat or be eaten. It was a time of war, a time of heroes. He was a Chomby. A very hungry Chomby. There was only one who could help him fulfill his destiny.
Then THEY came.
Movie coming Winter 2010. Keep checking this page for updates!
Okay, I repeat; it is a cool little, stupid, game. GAME. I could even maybe see a breakfast cereal coming of it. I would maybe even eat it.
But a movie??? A 90- to 120- minute-long story depicting a bright green, jelly, cartoon dinosaur running from great big, brightly colored blobs of jelly, while foraging for food...?
This, my dear friends, is what modern cinema has been reduced to.
RIP, Scorsese.
