Space Invaders: The Movie

rainmouse writes "Hollywood, clearly after witnessing the staggering success and endless critical acclaim of other computer game adaptations with their typically engrossing story line and deep, believable character development, have now apparently picked up the rights to make a film based upon Space Invaders. 'The classic 1980s arcade game from Taito and Midway, which is ranked as the top arcade game of all time by Guinness World Records, is heading to the big screen courtesy of producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Odd Lot Entertainment's Gigi Pritzker.'"

    The pacing starts out a little slow, but by the ending it really flies with a back-and-forth recklessness that is thrilling.

    It was about the struggle for woman's rights. You see, it was all symbolism for male oppression. You see, the phallic flack tank shot down the dreams of the the feminine invaders while skirting their attempts of rebuttal using the previously established male-bias structures in society. Very deep stuff.

    As a comic book fan, I can assure you that tons of first, second, and third tier heroes and villains still need recent movie treatment. When Forbush-Man is the star of a movie, you'll know it's time for them to move to greener pastures.
