I think Futurama covered this about as thoroughly as is needed.

"All they need is a story". Lol! Invasion from outer space movies have been done so many times, I have no idea why someone thought that this was a good idea. I mean, Space Invaders isn't exactly high concept. Space monsters march your way, you mow them down. Yes, I think it definately needs a story.

Increase speed, drop down and reverse direction!

Maybe they can do pong next. That just screams movie.

Shouldn't they wait and see how Battleship will do first?

Oh, and the 3D film version of Jenga?

And still JMS can't get a Babylon 5 theatrical release made.

Hollywood really has hit the crapper and is beyond any logical comprehension.

Don't forget there was a comedy called "Spaced Invaders" years back.

This is pretty lame name recognition, though, as no one younger than 25 will know or care and no one over 50 will either.
