Reminds me of the Futurama episode where the Omicronians attack in Space Invaders ships, then several 80s arcade characters come out after they land.
Oh wow it's a real movie now with adam sandler and peter dinklage? It started as a short 2 minute short film uploaded to youtube in 2010:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugV6c...
If only it were someone besides Sandler, I might go see it.

I agree. Someone once told me Sandler was funny and talented. I'm still waiting for either :-?
Actually the rest of the cast looks pretty good. I can even buy Kevin James as POTUS. Lose Sandler and I'd watch it.
No love for Happy Gilmore? Yeah, he didn't quite make the transition from comedy to semi-serious actor.
Humor is a personal thing. There are three comedians who are around the same age who grew up just a few miles from where I am right now -- Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman and Seth Meyers -- and they just don't make me laugh. They are clearly talented and seem like nice people but I keep waiting for them to say something funny.Edit to add - I'm speaking of their professional work. I've heard them in interviews and they are hilarious. Meyers was on Neil Degrasse Tyson's StarTalk last summer and killed it.
PIXELS
Summary: When aliens misinterpret video feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth in the form of the video games.
I just saw this for the first time and couldn't help but share it.
