LOL. It's kind of a comedy and I don't know about the quality, but it is of course a must see movie. The Dutch forum members should team up and watch it together. Could be a fun evening.
Who is coming:
ckong (Erik): Friday 21, Saturday 22, Friday 29, Saturday 30
Level42 (André): Friday 21, Saturday 22
-
trailer look kinda cool! :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
I'm always in for a hookup
-
Although I totally dislike the major actors in this movie.....and the trailers don't really do much for me I'm ready to team up.....we should go full nerd mode, so including our best retro game shirts, Pac Man plush dolls etc. etc.
-
+1. will be continued :)
-
I'm in... Pretty sure my wife is not joining me ;D
-
We can go in utrecht or so
-
Yes a nice central location would be great...I bet there's not going to be a special "premiere" screening or so ?
-
Utrecht sounds great. First grab some food and a beer, then watch the movie. And we all have to wear something 'nerdy' videogame related item of course.
-
I can wear my DK boxershort ::)
-
Yes yes yes, the nerdier the better ! Bring Pac Man, Q*bert, Centipede plush dolls etc. etc..... ;D ;D
-
OK !!!!
So now all we need is some ladies wearing these to accompany us nerds:

Returned home from a very nice holiday through several countries in Europe yesterday.
One of the things we noticed in Germany is that there the promotion is running at full speed.
First of all I noticed some small posters and a sticker in the bathroom at a Raststaette....
-
And how it happened, I have no clue ...but suddenly it was not on the bathroom wall anymore :D
-
Somewhat later....at a shopping mall in Munich:
Promotion at a Gamestop shop. Notice the "viele tolle fan-artikel"......this turned out to be just 1, the Pac Man showed and it was just a "lego" style Pac Man for the crazy sum of 15 Euro's.
-
A little bit further at the same mall, at a Dunkin Donuts:
-
My son said the Pac Man looked like shit because of the placement of the eye. I said the eye doesn't even belong there and we laughed :D
The Donkey Kong donut did taste very good by the way :D
There were promotion cardboards (circular) around the shop and one on the floor, here too you could win a trip to NYC, just like at Game Stop.
-
and on the way home we visited another high-way bathroom and there were 4 Pixels posters in that same bathroom and it was not a big bathroom.
So.....we thought that might be a bit overkill so we "took care" of that and suddenly there it was laying in the back of my car ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
What bothers me most is that Pac Man is made up of WAY too many pixels....and the eyes......it would have been way scarier without the eyes...
-
So uhmmm, why do we have to wait until the end of August for this ?? Germany launches july the 30th !
-
i asked myself that question with Minions.
it was out here, but not in the US.
and the movie was made there ??? i don' t get it
-
Neeeeed all these goodies :P ;D
..but maybe do I have to see the movie first? ::)
It has been released in France this week, but I'm waiting next week to see it in Luxembourg, because I want to see it in English... :P
Arghhh, there is a French cinema at 15 minutes from here, and ... I'm not sure I'll resist to wait next week to see it to be honest ::) :pac: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:
-
I don't think there will be a Dutch synced version just subtitled I hope !
Anyway, so far the reviews seem quite favorable, as expected..... ;D ;D

LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D
P.S. stop watching it at 5.00 if you don't want to know anything about the (no doubt "brilliant") plot...
We're going but just because to have a laugh....this can't be good, not with my two least favorite actors of all time...but that doesn't mean we can't have a load of fun while watching it :D
So...what date do we settle gentlemen ?
-
By the way, there was also a name tag for "Galaga Donut" on the fridge behind the counter (again, my son noticed this ! ) so I asked about it and the lady said well no-one really wants Galaga, they all ask for Galaxian Donuts.........gee go figure !
:D ;)
-
Oops forgot the Space Invaders one :)
-
I saw it a few months ago and I really enjoyed it
Very silly but very funny
Go see :)
-
Premiere today in Budapest. :)
-
Premiere today in Budapest. :)
Enjoy.

...just back from the theater... I LOVE THAT MOVIE! :-*
It's like an entire episode of Big Bang Theory... geeks rulez! :P ;D
-
Saw it also yesterday in 3D, brilliant movie, the only thing that I didnt like was mame in tft monitors in close shots from gameplays.
Qbert is the best character in it. :D
-
Well looks like promotion has started in The Netherlands too....some gigantic Pac Man's on the giant billboards on highways.
This one is near my home at Rotterdam (Brienenoordbrug A16) but I also saw one near Schiphol airport on the A2, but that ons is "on the land".....
-
The first pic I took this morning on my way to work, these two when I came back.
Must say I'm quite surprised by this....I mean....it's not actually a blockbuster movie....I think....o well we'll see.
We need to settle a date to go gentlemen....Utrecht it was ?
-
yeah let's do this, Utrecht makes sense
-
Why not go on the premiere evening (Thursday) ?
-
contact the billboard guys, thats a cool wall decoration for a gameroom ;D
-
Yes Utrecht is fine, weekendday (Friday or Saturday) is preferred. I mean, there will be an afterparty, somehow, won't there?
So, please state your name here, and preferred date, I will collect them in the first post. And I will arrange the tickets.
ckong (Erik): Friday 21, Saturday 22, Friday 29, Saturday 30
-
21 and 22 OK here, not The later dates.
-
Friday 21 would be best for me. ::)
-
I can't make it both weekends
-
Group view cancelled. :'(
-
Yeah I feared it wasn't going to happen.....and in all honesty I'd love to being Mark and see it in 3D....retro or not ;)
-
I wasn't expecting it to go through also. And don't expect a group visit to FS happening ever either.
-
Is there a plan to go to fun spot?
-
Is there a plan to go to fun spot?
LOL. yes, but still in an early stage. I tried to organize a FS group trip 2 times already, but unfortunately it never materialized for several reasons. And now Level42 want to give it another shot. :) I hope that he succeeds, FS is Mekka, you have to visit it at least one time in your life.
-
well, I would like that a lot, but I need to know it long before so I can save up for this
-
I just came back with my wife and son of 13 and we all enjoyed it.
Yeah, it's not Oscar stuff but we went in with low expectations but it wasn't that terrible...we had some simple fun....nothing wrong with that.
The best part was after the movie two boys of about 7-8 or so were discussing Sonic, one saying he was his favorite video game character....so I said yeah but Sonic didn't yet exist in 1982, and the other little fellow said....yeah that was what I was about to say to him.....
I asked how they liked the movie and they liked it too....and those kids probably never touched a real arcade classic.
-
Funny, i went also today with Joyce and Xander.
Even it was in english, he still enjoyed it, but i needed to translate sometimes some things.
I liked it also, not real bad, but cheesy enough to enjoy it :D
-
I saw the pilot 3 months ago and unless it's changed so much since then I thought it was funny
-
I will watch it in my 'home cinema', just have to wait until it comes 'available'. ;D
-
Need to see in theatre....always better.....I love seeing cabs on the big screen......yeah even if they have LCD's ....... :S
-
anyone notice the non-1982 arcade character that was in the movie even though the game wasnt released in arcades until 1985??
loved the movie btw!
-
wich character was that ?
-
Paperboy!
-
Yes i saw him, but i thought that was from 1984.
klov says 1984:
Name: Paperboy
Manufacturer: Atari Games
Year: 1984
Type: Videogame
Class: Wide Release
Genre: Platform

-
1984 then...so they still messed up!
-
Minor detail.
The biggest "mistake" is the whole thing about cheating those old arcade games....which as we all know is not possible....
-
Just noticed that Pixels still has a (one) showing today at the biggest movie theater in Rotterdam......not too shabby I expected it to be out much earlier.... OK it's at a crazy time but it's still there while it premiered about 2 months ago.
Thinking back about it.....could this one turn into one of those "cult" movies like Tron ?

Be careful what you say..... ;D

If you do that now it will surely help for the cultstatus ;D ;D
