What the heck? They turned Chuck E. Cheese into a cartoon.

Ah, hell, why not -- they're turned flimsy video games into films (Tetris anyone???), board games into films, movies about making cars, and a film about Pop Tarts.

Mark Wahlberg remaking the novel Headhunters for Apple (was originally turned into a 2011 Norwegian movie starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). Wahlberg must be loving the streaming era because he continues to get overpaid for bad streaming movies after everyone's stopped going to his theatrical movies.

Clint was 44 and Jeff 25 when the original was released. Reynolds is now 49, so I’d like to think he’s not too vain to know that he’s now age-appropriate for the older role, not the younger.
