Do not pass go, do not collect $200

I’m clicking around and again am hit by a very…confusing…rumor. The board game (lame enough already, I know. But just wait…) MONOPOLY is going to be a feature length film. I’ll say it again. Monoply…that game that you played with your friends for hours and hours and hours and then got bored and STILL didn’t know who won is going to become a movie. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not crying lame because it’s a bored game. We all know that Clue, and amazing game AND good movie but come on. At least that game has a built in plot right in the instructions. But Monopoly? How can there possibly be a plot line to that? There isn’t much talk about what that plot is going to be yet (of course I’m going to keep my nose to the ground) but they have released the director for the film.

You’ll never believe me.

Ridley Scott. Yes. Mr. Alien himself, along with Gladiator, Hannibal and Black Hawk Down. Does this make any sense to anyone? Because it doesn’t to me. I can see it now. The good ol’ Monopoly guy kicks some supernatural ass with lots of blood and gore to go along with it. And remember, he always gets out of jail free. And in his spare time, he wins beauty pagents.

The madness may not stop with Monopoly the Movie. I found here that Hasbro and Universal Studios may have a contract to do Battleship, Ouji and Candyland. My heart is crying out. Have we really hit that far down in the barrel of ideas?

I hope not my friends, I really hope not.

I found one…

I found the teaser for Tropical Thunder here. My opinion from the last blog remains the same…I’m not sure what to think.
