    Osmosis Jones.

    A half-and-half cartoon and live action film with Chris Rock as the titular character from the late-90s/early-00s. The movie was a flop, but I think it had more to do with lousy marketing. It was actually pretty good and a fun way to look at how things affect the human body.

    David Hyde Pierce as the enormous Pill was a great choice, and Bill Murray was hilarious.

      And Laurence Fishburne as Thrax. He was pretty horrifying when he would let loose and make people explode.

      Around the time this came out, I, having had no idea about the movie or its premise, wrote a story that was along similar lines in creative writing. Specifically, it featured the immune system and other cells as characters and whatnot.

      I was accused of ripping off the idea.

    Generic video game movie stuffed with trendy references and fanservice is actually a really good singularity story

    Clue

    Movie based on a board game? Blegh

    But it’s awesome. Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Lesley Ann Warren

      This is top 3 of all time for me. There is so much happening in every scene you can watch it multiple times and still catch little jokes or sight gags each viewing.

    Battleship.

    Yeah, the movie based off the board(?) game.

    Feel free to fire up the torches and start handing out the pitchforks, because I’m not playing by the rules.

    It doesn’t just look like it will suck, it looks like a ‘so bad it is bad’ type of movie, an overbudgeted ‘this is what is wrong with movies these days’ sort of unmitigated hot wet trash from a dumpster fire in the bad part of town.

    It isn’t well written.

    It isn’t well acted.

    I honestly can’t even promise a good time.

    These are the thoughts that went through my mind when I read about it before watching: “This is going to be awful and a waste of my time. These actor names kinda look familiar but I don’t know who any of these people are. Is Rihanna her first name or last name? Isn’t she just a singer. It better not have that stupid umbrella song. Wait, Liam Neeson is in this? Is he doing okay? Did he lose a bet? Does he need money? I bet that evil Jar’jar forced him to to do this. Wait, running time over 2 hours?! How is that even… the board never took more than like 15 minutes… except cheaters moving their… fuck me, I already need a drink.”

    Go into the movie with that mindset. Be angry at it before it starts.
