this fake "Hungry Hungry Hippos" trailer has made my day.
Oh my God, they're actually making that movie now? The article says it's supposed to be an animated feature, but the fake trailer seems much more likely.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Given the number of people hippos actually kill, it might not tap into the same primal fear as Jaws or Lake Placid, bit...it is a thing.
Why you need the game's name, tho, is a question. Will that really help sell more tickets?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

True, though not because they're hungry hungry hippos.

Why is it I feel certain that interest in the movie rights was generated by everyone namechecking the game while mocking Battleship?

I'm not too proud to say I enjoyed Battleship. But I just adore the trope of bringing in something considered obsolete to save the day. I got all sorts of mad tingles of delight as they put the Missouri back into action.

I actually did have a good time at it too, for the most part. Well, except for all the family drama that was so very out of place in Naval chain of command.

Pfft, inappropriate family drama in an action flick, we will speak no more of it.

That's a really nice Q&A. Thanks for the link!

That's a different interface from "normal", LeN. The Q&A has a different formatting and questions are hidden from us but visible to the person being asked, or some weird stuff. I don't participate in those clusterfucks, myself.
