Minesweeper: The Movie

I'm not quite sure if this belongs here, or in Gamers Galore, but this was just too priceless not to share. I was browsing the college humor site after watching the Perpetual Mario Machine and I stumbled on this.
It's a spoof trailer for a nonexistent Minesweeper movie, and it's downright hilarious in my opinion. I love how serious they act in it.

Warning: They say "suck" in the trailer, and I know some people don't like that word. Also, I don't recommend browsing the rest of the site too thoroughly, as there's some decidedly questionable material there.

Enjoy it:

See, now why do movie producers spend all this money making the next cliched romantic comedy when there's *epic* source material right here?

You know what would be even funnier than a real movie like this? A game based off of the movie(since every movie must have a video game counterpart).

That could be the best summer blockbuster ever!
Minesweeper is a great source for movie inspiration.

What's really sad about this is that I found this short film more entertaining then almost all the movies released here.

I would see it on opening day.

That ranks up there with the Pacman one. Does anyone know of any other spoof game movies? There needs to be a Pong trailer...

Have you checked out Mega 64?

I didn't play it, but this is my personal favorite: http://www.mega64.com/re4.htm

Yeah, that was interesting...
As for other fan-inspired movies, I think there's a really cool Megaman trailer somewhere on Youtube...

To be superficially on topic, my favorite line is the 999 one.

Indeed I have. Worthwhile game-related humor, but I would still like to see more trailers.

That? Notable as well, but they're actually trying to be serious.

What's even more saddening is that this is more entertaining then every other movie made after a video game. XD

Even the Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Do they have a Final Fantasy gag?

Watching two guys take turns in real life would be priceless.

they did a gag like that on xplay a while back where they had adam sessler acting out what it would be like if someone had a disorder where they viewed all of life as one big turn based existence
