Go has its own manga series / anime / TV specials...








Obata's art and characters are so awesome looking!!

You can see how at the end of Hikaru no Go, his art becomes more more similar to the style he used for Death Note:

 
Chess has its own musical.

It is probably the nadir of all human creation.

It requires a large suspension of disbelief, but it's actually quite decent.
It tells an interesting enough tale of Cold War tension in addition to its sillier elements (cliche love story and a questionable premise.) Plus it has a tragic ending, which is always a plus. :D

When I said probably I didnt mean I was assuming just based on the name, I actually played in chess the musical once..

To be fair, in the pit you do miss a lot of the plot. My judgement was mostly about the music.

One movie i would be interested to see is Monopoly, in a world were everything's on sale, and were a world bank controls every economy that there is, a man has to fight it's way across the globe in a red cadillac, beating millionare taxes, blowing the five stars hotels in where he is trapped, and scaping from jail... just to return home.

If the plot twist for both is actually that the scenario was just kids pretending all the crap while playing the board game I'll be pissed.

A teenage orphan finds himself alone and penniless on the mean streets of Chinatown. He does what he must to survive. In doing so, he brings unwanted attention to himself by the local kingpin who rules the area. While being pursued by thugs, he comes across a kindly old man who fights off the attackers with several marble-based attacks. The old man then takes the orphan in and teaches him the ancient ways so that he may traverse through the seedy, underground Chinese Checkers network, combat the kingpin and avenge the death of his parents.

This summer, Stephen Chow and Jaden Smith star in...

Chinese Checkers: Street Wars
 
In the dark suburbs of western Manhattan...
A single father gets home from the bar after working minimum wage...


"We know the dark secrets he keeps beneath his tight lips...
Our father sleeps every night away with a half-pint at the bedside and a gun under the mattress...
..but one night we needed a little snack."

Cut to a blurred image, the sound of a box falling, and a gasp

This is Don't Wake Daddy.
 
The scene opens with a close-knit pack of rustic farmers from the lands of the Reds. The Reds are comprised of families, lovers, and strangers going out to explore and conquer this brave new world. Although they have friends nearby with whom to share resources and grow together, there are... others. Pioneers who would steal their land, block their travel, and take the food, the livestock, and the supplies for their own. But this land does not allow for multiple groups of frontiersmen. Resources are scarse, and even the most plentiful fields and quarries can wind up barren and desolate, even just after recent periods of bounty. In this land, wealth is determined by fate.

It's a timeless story of competition in new lands. The struggle to build settlements and cities, to take ports, and to build a lasting empire. In this new West, the Reds must learn to support themselves, but also to trade when the time is right. "What is more important RIGHT NOW," they must ask themselves. "Wood... or brick?" They cannot be too trusting, for the competition could swing ahead at any time, building a new road to seal a landlock for the Reds. They must decide where to settle. The 6 brick? Or the sheep port? And they will have to negotiate with the mysterious Robber from the Desert, or build a military force strong enough to repel him, before they lose everything.

THIS SUMMER, settle into a theater near you to watch
