Hi-Fi Pizza of the Apocalypse 2: The JOUST movie

The other day I wrote about the upcoming Asteroids and Viewmaster movies, and described how they reminded me of an apocalyptic moment in an old Daniel Clowes Eightball comic, seen at left. (Click this link to buy the Clowes collection Twentieth Century Eightball.) In an age of Asteroids and Viewmaster movies, the day of the Hi-Fi Pizza will surely be upon us soon.

Well, I feel it is my duty as a blogger to alert you to other dire portents of the End Times, and so today I am unveiling a new feature. Hi-Fi Pizza of the Apocalypse will chronicle all of Hollywood's most egregious rehashes, recyclings and recombinings. And I'm afraid we have a doozy today...

Comingsoon.net is reporting that movie adaptations are in the works for three old video games. There's a Mortal Combat reboot, but that's no big surprise. A Spy Hunter movie sounds pretty ridiculous, but it's been in turnaround for years with Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson attached to star, so it's not really news.

The real Portent of Doom in the bunch is Joust. Yeah, that's right. This old thing, with the little knights flying around on goddamn storks or some crap:



Somebody looked at that, and saw a movie. Freaking Joust, coming soon to a theater near you! And while you're there, drop by the concession stand and try the Hi-Fi Pizza.
