Personally I think it's stupid to make these games into movies, but. Whatever. They’ll probably end up going the “Jumanji” route on some of these movies.

The first is <em>Stretch Armstrong</em>. I could see a film based on the character. Then again, we have had Incredibles and Mr. Fantastic from Fantastic Four. I'm still waiting for a Plastic Man film. Still, I suppose Armstrong has some credit: get him cold and he won't stretch as much. Second, the slightest cut and that funky goo bleeds out of his arm. The next one of course....“Ouija,” “Ouija” - it's supposed to <strong>only supposed to be a game but...</strong> since folks believe (we'll just say that for now) they can contact the dead with this wooden board, it could lend itself to a haunted house/ghosts type film. But all it will wind up doing is inspire Mike Bay's Platinum Dunes to snap up remake rights to the 80's B classic <em> Witchboard</em>... ***** I'm not sure how a film would actually work with any of the above. HOWEVER...check out Seeler's reccomendations! 1) Candyland 2) Mr. Potato Head 3) Hungry Hungry Hippos (animated feature) 4) Risk. Only two of these got my attention. The first is Stretch Armstrong.

That was a boring game, watching so many of clips over and over. But they did make a movie of Clue at one point as well. Which was a curious piece at best. Had the writers strike really made these studios desperate? While its a nice idea, I really think its a stupid one as well. Does anyone remember the Clue VCR Game that came out in the VHS heyday?

How about a movie about a battleship set which belongs to the mighty Greek god Zeus which actually has the power to control mighty sea battles on Earth and which Zeus uses to amuse himself. Then his set gets lost, falls to Earth and gets picked up by a competetive group of children who constantly play to defeat each other, unaware that entire sea fleets are being destroyed because of them, and someone (i guess you Doug) has to retrieve it for Zeus. Or for the second idea, just take the battleship, send it into outer space and call it the Yamato and you have a movie. No charge Hasbro, no charge;) I’ve got two ideas on how to make ‘Battleship’ into a movie.
