Blue Aliens (And LiveStream update)
(First off, how does, I don't know, 5:00 PM CST tomorrow work for that Megamind Livestream we were discussing? Also, should I host it, or somebody else?)
(EDIT: Actually, due to some unexpected chores, I might need to postpone the stream an hour or two. Here's the event page; it should let you know when it starts.)
Ok, I was watching TV earlier, minding my own business, when I see a short ad for a movie I've never heard of. I think it was called "Escape from Planet Earth." And it seems like a good number of the characters are little blue aliens.
...Think we would be justified in claiming 'copy cats?'
- 3 minutes later... -
Alright, I found a longer trailer... And it looks mind-numbingly stupid in general. It would be nothing to write home about, except that, well, if you squint, it seems slightly familiar.
It's almost like some kind of cross between Megamind and Monsters vs. Aliens, with all the intelligence taken out. And humor. And plot. And animation qual- look, the point is, if you squint really, really, really hard, and then tilt your head, and think about nothing other than the movies in question while watching the trailer, then I see some tiny similarities.
The bigest one being that, to me at least, it comes across a bit like a 'what if' where Metro Man and Megamind were brothers. - Shrugs -
