A movie called Pixels?
The film's plot centers around New York City being attacked by classic 8-bit video game characters. The government recruits the best video game players/experts from the past to defeat this unusual threat.

So now they are making movies based on YouTube videos from four years ago?
Hmm, rewatching that video and seeing cars turn into a bunch of square pixels reminds me of something else I've seen lately... ;)
Mad Max: Fury Road
Well, my expectations have taken a 180° turn. :)
After 29 long years of waiting since Beyond Thunderdome (supposedly George Miller has been working on this for the past 10 years), I was hoping for a movie that would appeal to the long-time Mad Max fan within me. The first time I watched the original Mad Max, I absolutely luved it. Compared to today's standards, it seems like it was made on a shoestring budget but it was classic Aussie filmmaking at its best. The 2nd & 3rd movies weren't as good but still watchable.
I was hoping for a raw, gritty Fury Road. Something with real stunts. Something uniquely Aussie (Miller tried to film this in Broken Hill a few years back but after all the rain made the landscape too "green", Miller picked everything up & filmed it in Namibia - & so vanished my hopes for an Aussie Max). So I watched the today's trailer... I couldn't believe that they once again blew up the Interceptor. I couldn't believe Miller got a Pom to play Max (why couldn't they get Mel to play an older, hardened Max?) & all of those over-the-top CGI explosions?
I really hope Fury Road isn't a complete stinker of a Mad Max movie. But I have a feeling that George Miller has been watching too many Michael Bay movies... :rolleyes:
Would it be bad to admit that I have never seen / watched the original Mad Max? Does that make me un-Australian?
