Trivial Pursuit: The Movie ... ?!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Hollywood is officially out of ideas:
"According to Variety, Hasbro and the William Morris Agency have just partnered up in an effort to turn a bunch of properties into TV shows, movies and video games. Properties like G.I. Joe, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Clue, Candy Land and the Ouija Board. ...
"Apparently the toy company is shooting for something akin to Marvel's media saturation. OK, fine, Candy Land could probably make for a half-decent kids' movie, and I suppose you could maybe make a real estate comedy called 'Monopoly' -- but Clue has already been done, and so has the Ouija Board (done to death, one might say). And a movie version of Trivial Pursuit would be just that: a trivial pursuit."
How starved for something to do would a person have to be to watch a movie or t.v. version of Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit? Me ... I'd have to be pretty [expletive deleted] starved!
