My thoughts on a Missile Command or Centiped movie: …STOP IT.

STOP IT NOW.

Some classic Atari video games are heading to the big screen as Deadline today brings word that both Missile Command and Centipede movies are in development thanks to a new partnership with Emmett / Furla / Oasis Films.

Missile Command I could maybe justi… no. No, there’s no justification for either movie. This is stupid.  Somebody should be fired and made to go work in another field over this.  And the same should happen to whoever hired that person in the first place. Time for a little shared responsibility around here.

[pause]

Yeah, I know: that seems like a bit much. I dunno: maybe I’m just appalled by this?  I mean, how many arcade video game movies have to implode before we stop making them?
