Before people forget: the current adaptation is "Justice League Unlimited: The moe slice-of-life anime. (Don't forget which character gets which moe archetype.)" courtesy SKJAM.
We Are In A Moe Anime is better than this, and it's not even animated! Or made by a professional studio! Or has any visuals! Or- you get my point.
Twilight: The Tabletop Game!

Usually here.An actually fun, if In Name Only adaptation. The Literature characters still suck but the ability to play as monsters in the modern world is enhanced by adding new races and buffing humans a bit.
The World Ends With You. The Novel.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Remember the Starship Troopers film? The props are different, and the battles are divided between Protoss and Zerg, but yeah - pretty much a Spiritual Successor.
Freebird: The Novel.
Actually pretty hilarious, but they got derailed waaaay to early and started talking about other stuff.
Harry Potter 4koma.
A pretty hilarious riff on the source material, so much so that J.K. Rowling herself has retroactively authorized it.
Star Wars: The 1970s low-budget stoner flick.
Is Vader luke's father or all are father's and is the millenium really a Falcon
Quantum Leap the First-Person Shooter
Proveing 12 year olds are the filthist people aroundThat could work. Sam could leap into various characters in major conflicts of the world. Wide range of weapons and tactics. Unfortunately, the hero went mad from all the killing at the end of the game.
Pokemon, a Michael Bay movie.

If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?Essentially, this is a live action take on Pokemon, WITH EXPLOSIONS! Really Mr. Bay, not every attack a Pokemon makes involves explosions. Really a mindless film.
Now that we have these two stinkers, how about:
Titanic: The Anime
edited 30th May '11 8:29:37 PM by EarlOfSandvich
I now go by Graf von Tirol.A World Masterpiece Theater presentation, actually taking its plotline from Leviathan, the remarkably prophetic novel written some years before the sinking of the Titanic. In order to fit in a 26-episode season, a lot of flashbacks to events in the passengers' lives leading up to sailing are included. It's generally well-received, but none of the music becomes a Breakaway Pop Hit.
Next: Emma as a Stan Lee / Jack Kirby Marvel Comics (*early* Marvel) presentation.

The story is more or less the same, though moved to mid-20th century NYC and filled with stilted dialogue and cheesy jokes that even a cheesemaker would be embarrassed to make.
This Film Is Not Yet Rated, the disaster movie.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.- This Film Is Not Yet Rated, the disaster movie.
...
Okay, okay. As the giant asteroid is approaching the Earth, the MPAA is commissioned to select movies to be preserved in the underground bunker, and Kirby Dick and his team of detectives have to Race Against the Clock to prove that the MPAA is using a biased process in time to save the best independent films of the era.
It becomes both a deconstruction and a reconstruction of the buddy-cop genre, and proves to be one of the biggest hit movies since Titanic.
Forrest Gump, the shounen manga.
What were your thoughts of the prior adaptation? As for your adaptation, good lord indeed!
Ang Lee's Don Quixote?

Many people are surprised to discover it to be a tolerably good comic book adaptation of the relevant part of the Gospels, although why they would think that a passionate Christian wouldn't strive to be as accurate as possible is unclear.
A horrifically unpopular work, it is widely considered boring, tedious, and repetitive. Despite being a faithful adaptation of the book.
I'm giving "Christian Weston Chandler's The French Revolution" from ![]()

to the next poster, because I can't answer that one.
For "CWC's version of the French Revolution," I'll say that there's so much Critical Research Failure that this particular Author Tract that it becomes the Most Triumphant Example of Snark Bait.
Mythbusters: the light gun shooter.

It's surprisingly rather good. At least part of that may be due to the subtle spoofs of the sequels, the good special effects, good acting, and the catchy numbers (Didn't "There Can Be Only One" win a Grammy or something like that?).
Retsupurae: the big-budget Hollywood action movie.

Partially on topic, but not a reply to
