I asked the magic 8 ball if it would make a good movie. I tried to get a link to the answer, but the question and answer disappeared. It said no way. But when I asked it again it said absolutely.

I can't wait for these future movies based on toys:

Frisbee

Silly Putty

Slinky

Etch-a-Sketch

Mr. Potato Head

I submitted a similiar question: Magic 8 Ball Movie, good idea?

Answer: My sources say no.



It'll probably end up being something akin to Yes Man. A comedy about a some loser who figures he's so bad at making decisions that a Magic 8 Ball couldn't do any worse. Cue 'hilarious' consequences.

I think I'll file this one, along with Ridley Scott's "Monopoly" and, whoever it was who wants to do "Risk", as "films that aren't even a good idea when you're high."



I consulted my Ouija board about this: it said, "when playing double nines - like golf - less or is it more? is better." I was lost

Sorry Harmonica.......I got to stay here.
I was kind of hoping for a movie featuring a spastic sociopath named 8 Ball who just runs around doing insane and unthinkable things for no reason whatsoever. And Harvey Keitel would be the dancing cop who tracks him down.

I would rather see a movie about a magic 8-ball than another Cloverfield flick.

Sadly, you're probably right.

I'd much rather have a giant Magic 8 Ball attacking a city or something, like JRS said.
