Hell, someone should buy the rights and make a full movie of it. Pixar would be prime.

Yeah, I agree. I would love for davytod or somebody to capture it and make a movie. I would love to see a real movie based off the game. It has some great possibilities. A lot of really interesting themes were visited in that game. Though I disagree about Pixar being the idea makers. I think Grim Fandango was great how it was, and for it to be a Pixar movie it would have to be watered down a bit, I think it is too mature for Pixar. I think good old fasion stop motion might suit it better than CG. Of course this is all pointless since the chances of it making it the the big screen is none. It is sad such great stories are destined to be lost and forgotten in the past.

Anybody read Ron Gilbert's blog? I really enjoy it because he doesn't update too often, and he keeps his musing short. So if I check the sight every six months or so I can skim through all the new entries in a very short time and sometimes come out on the other end with some interesting info of some of my favorite games of all time. This blog was the place were he admited basing Monkey Island on Tim Power's novel On Stranger Tides rather than on the Disney Land ride as he has always claimed in interviews. His last entry had some interesting stuff regarding Maniac Mansion. He said he was watching a clip over the internet of Maniac Mansion being beat in under 9 minutes, and how it brought back many memories for him. It was interesting to talk about the way some things were in the game and why. At the end he mentioned that he considered making a commentary for videos like that one of maniac mansion, then he said he decided against it. But how great would that be? A creators commentary on all those old adventures! I would sit through each and every one and enjoy every minute of it.
