NOTE FROM DAVE:

For the last year or so, rumors have been
flying about a possible movie version of
the classic SF book by Orson Scott Card,
“Ender’s Game.” Here are some of the things
we thought the movie might contain.

The Top 8 Possible
Surprises in the “Ender’s Game” Movie

8> Because of special effects budget cuts, Ender spends his first three months training on the classic “Space Invaders.”

7> Lazy MPAA never views film, gives NC-17 rating thinking it’s gay porn.

6> The Buggers look surprisingly similar to the leftover aliens from “Starship Troopers.”

5> Mazer Rackham is not only played by Shatner, but he sings!

4> Thanks to a product placement deal, the Battle School shield looks an awful lot like the Pepsi logo.

3> In “Starship Troopers,” co-ed shower scenes were cool, but in “Ender’s Game” they got the producers arrested.

2> The lightning-bolt-shaped scar on the kid’s forehead wasn’t a big deal, but “Harry Potter and the Bugger Invasion”??

and the Number 1 Possible Surprise in the “Ender’s Game” Movie…

1> Walking out of the theater you discover you were never watching a movie, but an actual live video feed of planetary destruction.
