    Default Pixels (video game-themed film)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixels_(2015_film)

    So, is anyone gonna see Pixels, a video game-themed film? I'm planning to see it next weekend.
    Is that your final answer?

    The verdict is still out on that one. Not sure if I'll get to see it this week or not. Might have to wait until it's on DVD. It's been universally panned across the board, and to be honest that just makes me want to see it more. Curious how this film is the one that could end Adam Sandler's career after all the other stinkers he made.

    The main reason why I want to see this film is because of the character of Lady Lisa, the sword-wielding hot chick, portrayed by Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson. Now, I don't watch Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family, but I'm familiar with her name; I first heard about her when she starred in this R-rated film entitled Spring Breakers, a couple of years ago, alongside Disney Channel alumni Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, but I didn't watch that film either. I think Ashley Benson looks great, so I'm going to focus on her.

    Suit yourself. Her character in this film just looks like another lazy sexist character you always get in Adam Sandler films.

    Adam Sandler films are usually trout, but beside himself and Kevin James, the rest of the cast would have me pretty interested. Peter Dinklage, Sean Bean, Jane Krakowski, Michelle Monaghan, Josh Gad, Brian Cox - all pretty good people.

    I probably won't see it, though.

    I try to pretend like Adam Sandler stopped making movies a while ago and rode gracefully off into the horizon. Click and 50 First Dates were the last decent films he made, since then it's been absolute trash.

    I'm gonna watch it, just out of curiosity. :P

    I'd rather just rewatch Wreck-It Ralph.

    I didn't even know Sean Bean was in it. Those GoT guys look out for each other, don't they? Littlefinger is in the newest Maze film with that boy who can see the future, and now Brienne of Tarth is showing up in Hunger Games with Margaery.

    Everywhere I go I see Game of Thrones.

    Is it too late to throw Sandler and James out of this movie and just have the rest of the cast? I actually don't mind Kevin James that much, but I never found him funny.

    The moment I saw the first trailer months ago I was like "God, this looks horrible." Now that it's out, everyone says it's horrible.

    I would literally rather watch paint dry for two hours than sit through a post-Grandma's Boy Happy Madison production. I would literally rather watch paint dry for two hours while enduring shock therapy than sit through a post-Grandma's Boy Happy Madison production starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James.

    And Vermachtnis is correct. The entire premise is a ripoff of a Futurama episode that aired 13 years ago.
