It would be fun to go see a movie where a person has a house, has a job, buys furniture, does chores and yardwork, culminating in a modest party.

Have it be completely mundane except every character speaks in the nonsense Simglish language, give it a 3 1/2 hour runtime.

[-] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago

yes, and the part where they're at work is just an hour long continuous take of their empty house

the sims is set in suburban USA hitler-detector

Now that I'm thinking about it - I'm actually surprised that doesn't already exist as a Youtube video genre. A mashup of reality tv and ASMR verbal nonsense. An attractive, very popular Youtuber could probably get the entire genre started all by themself.

"PHtelt gartfff laaamm! I grokffffffffphttt daaaaaaaaaaaaatph uugggint!... Nnnnnt, wwwwwwoooo blooor ttttttttph!" in other words "Are you ready! Lets go furniture shopping!... Oh, where are my keys!"

This is basically just that Ringo Starr/Shelley Long/Dennis Quaid flick, Caveman (1981)

One sim meets another for the first time, aggressively flirts with them, and by the end of the day the second sim has agreed to move in.

Okay so the Sims movie is going to be about a pool party that goes horribly awry when the ladder just disappears one day. People will stagger around trying to figure out how to get people out of the pool for 90 minutes, and the direction will keep everyone guessing who's gonna die til the final moments.

PG-13 Infinity Pool

(i haven't seen Infinity Pool yet)

I would watch a slasher Sims movie, now that you mention the pool.

It takes just one overperforming hit in an untapped genre for Hollywood to dedicate the next 5 years churning out copies to replicate its success.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

They're going to learn the exact wrong lessons about why the movie was successful. We don't need good writers, people loved the movie because they love Barbie!

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago

a film based on Uno

What the fuck.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

Showing up to the box office and playing the Reverse card so they have to give me all the proceeds from the film (I am now $25 million in debt and I will be forced to close my film studio)

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago

"I will have you know, good sirs - I am also the owner of the official Uno NFT. So the answer is yes - 'I am legit.' " Readjusts monocle.

[-] btbt@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago

A good writer could probably have the audience sympathize with the Sims by making them into real, fleshed out people and then make them get fucked with at the hands of terminally-online so it becomes a story about how people act when they think their actions don’t have consequences and how they treat people they don’t see as fully human, but what do I know

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

basically the plot of every other game movie

[-] btbt@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

That’s because all the movie studios are stealing my ideas

That's the Undertale genocide route

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The NPCs and locations in The Sims do actually have pretty fleshed out backstories. I was only ever a pretty casual player of The Sims, so all of that went over my head, but there are certainly some fans who obsess over the surprisingly rich lore.

[-] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

Us Strangetown enjoyers finally get the cinematic experience we deserve with graphic on screen alien impregnation

Writers room: okay so play-doh…. Uhhhh

Writer 1: Wot if the play-doh kids played with came to life and talked

Writer 2: wot if we dramatize a fake story about some fake person who invented play-doh

both look at each other

Writers (in unison): What if we dramatize a fake story about some fake person who invented play-doh AND the play-doh comes to life and the only person who can communicate with the play-doh is that guy and he teams up with the play-doh (along with his quirked up kindergarten teacher love interest) to uh… save America or something.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

If it's a depiction of the way I played the sims then it's a few hours of people pissing themselves then dying on fire

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

The sim who looks suspiciously like me tries to bang everyone in town.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago
[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

That movie was blatantly pro-Union propaganda and therefore based.

The NPCs go on strike and end up with a world of literally rainbows and unicorns.

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

It's just going to be Truman Show for female zoomers

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

This is the one right here

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's not a real life simulator.

The economy of sims world is absolutely bonkers. It's ridiculously easy for every "sim" to earn enough to eventually have a fabulous house.

The easiest way to do a Sims movie is to do it the same way Barbie was done, by exaggerating the insanity of the Sims world suburbs and the lifestyles they all live.

The Sims is a "real life" simulator if real life worked the way liberals pretend the world works. It is a fantasy.

[-] cmhickman358@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

The Sims movie could work if it was about the paint goblin

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 6 months ago

Weird reboot of "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas", but okay.

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

There's a very strange overarching story that has time travel and shit in it. The lore is deep.

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

hear me out, maybe the movie can work if it's a horror movie about kids who were murdered and their spirits who possessed Sims characters of their killers and they scare me and it's called Sims.exe and it looks like this

spoiler

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Maybe they do something with the Sims canon, like it's about the Goths and the Landgraabs having a fued Romeo and Juliet style.

But they're probably gonna do something like, "the Sims learn that they're a video game" or some shit idk.

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

I'm not versed on Sims lore so what would separate Goths vs. Landgraabs from any other rival families plot

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago

Are you kidding? A Sims movie would be awesome!

It would just basically be a horror movie about a guy who sticks a ton of people in a pool and then removes the stairs, or people who get stuck in a house and realize all the doors are gone.

This is how I play the sims, I would watch the fuck out of that movie.

[-] solitaire@infosec.pub 7 points 6 months ago

you need to talk to more women fr

i have on more than one occasion had someone who says they never game suddenly pin me down and talk about deep sims lore, and the story lines between all the different npc families. i am deeply concerned about it happening again with the news they're making a sims movie

[-] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

a cinematic adaptation of an inert substance

I thought they already did a J.D. Vance movie.

[-] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

It’ll be “The Barbie Movie” except it’s Sims, Will Ferrel will play Wil Wright, all the beats are the same America Ferrera will be in it and that’s fine, she’s good.
