they'd be proud of the fact that they never played video games, let alone the source material.
look at interviews surrounding halo paramount, "we want to tell our own story in this setting" then proceeds to make garbage that actively disrespects the source.
โWe didnโt look at the game. We didnโt talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world. So I never felt limited by it being a game.โ
And a shaven Adam Sandler as patches. This would truly be an awful film. Iโd see it. Not in theaters, certainly. Not even my own streaming subscription. But eventually Iโll be on someoneโs couch and exactly drunk enough to dare them to put it on.
I think the main issue people had was it had lot of RTS sections further in.
They weren't actually that bad, but the demo gave no clue that the main chunk of gameplay was going to be running around issuing orders rather than the basic heavy metal themed hack-and-slash it pretended to be.
That was unfortunately a Jack Black of a different era. This one abandons his lifelong friend to be as hollywood safe as possible for saying meanie-bobeanie things about trump (as a comedian on a stage that is known for political jokes)
i enjoyed the Minecraft movie. i wouldn't say it was great, but i was watching it with my nephews and had fun. it helped that mamoa and black were clearly having fun doing it and had good chemistry together. (i even play the song "lava chicken" for fun hehe)
Not condoning violence against a fascist is rolling over and letting them get away with fascist shit. I take it you think Brian Thompson deserves sympathy as well?
Regardless of whether Kyle Gass is doing fine, it still reveals either a weak character on Jack Black's part or significant ideological disagreement with my own beliefs. To an extent that I find him much less appealing as an actor or performer.
If violence against a corporate ghoul, fascist, or nazi saves more lives in the long run, it is 100% justified. If Crooks had not missed we'd be living in a much better world right now and far fewer people would be in serious danger.
I take it you think Brian Thompson deserves sympathy as well?
Yes. I think he was a pile of trash (esp. since my company uses his insurance company), but I will only consider violence as an absolute last resort. These types of problems can and should be solved without violence. Unfortunately, those types of solutions take a lot more time and effort, so I totally understand the desire for a quick fix, esp. for those who are suffering.
So while I think Brian Thompson deserves sympathy, I think Luigi Mangione and everyone who supports him does as well. Likewise for both Trump and those who support the attempted assassinations.
significant ideological disagreement with my own beliefs
I don't see what this has to do with watching a film with him in it. I have deep ideological disagreements with a lot of popular content, but I watch it because that content has nothing to do with that ideological disagreement.
I'll certainly boycott things that are directly related to my ideological disagreements (e.g. I avoid Nestle products due to their unethical sales tactics in Africa), but I'm not going to boycott something just because someone I disagree with is involved (e.g. I'm happy to use Brave despite completely disagreeing w/ Brendan Eich about same-sex marriage).
Watching a Jack Black film doesn't impact Jack Black's public views about Trump's assassination attempts, the two are completely unrelated. Refusing to go to a Tenacious D concert if Jack Black decides to go on tour w/o Kyle Gass could have an impact though.
If violence against a corporate ghoul, fascist, or nazi saves more lives in the long run, it is 100% justified
I absolutely disagree. The ends do not justify the means.
If we condone violence as an effective means to achieve political results, we're literally supporting terrorism, because that's what that is:
terrorism - The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.
If we condone violence as an effective means to achieve political results, weโre literally supporting terrorism, because thatโs what that is:
I never said "political ends". I was reasonably specific "fewer people dying in the long run".
Do you take issue with terrorism because of the results (immediate deaths + chilling effects) or because it is unvirtuous? Because I don't care about virtue at all.
I also don't put powerful people on the same level as a regular "civilian". When you take on a powerful position and then proceed to abuse the position so thoroughly that you cause mass deaths you might as well be a military general. In Trump's case, he's now literally the commander in chief of the US military.
I also want to point out that I don't even believe in free will and my ethical frame work here isn't that I simply want to "take out the trash" or seek vengeance. On a purely rational level I want the harm to stop, not to make Trump or Brian Thompson suffer or die. If there is a reasonable means to achieving that without killing them I would be in favor. But failing to find a pacifistic alternative I actually would say it is an ethical failure not to.
Do you take issue with terrorism because of the results (immediate deaths + chilling effects) or because it is unvirtuous? Because I donโt care about virtue at all.
Closer to virtue, but more on the practical end that it's not a sustainable model. If you recognize terrorism an an effective political tool, where does it end? That's a rabbit hole that should not be explored IMO, and the only form we should get anywhere close to supporting is a popular revolution, which isn't terrorism because it's popular, and even so it should be used incredibly rarely.
I also donโt put powerful people on the same level as a regular โcivilianโ.
The difference between a powerful person and a "regular" person is in the amount of responsibility they have, and responsibility should come with penalties if it's not used properly. Execs that break the law should be jailed, not shot.
I donโt even believe in free will
As in predestination? Or as in, we're all automatons/there's nothing "special" about humanity?
I want the harm to stop
Assassination rarely inspires reflection, it usually inspires draconian measures to protect the targets. The healthcare industry isn't reflecting on how they should treat their subscribers, they're reflecting on how they can protect their CEOs. The US government isn't reflecting on Trump's policies, they're reflecting on how they can protect the President.
Real change comes from getting the quiet majority on the same page and energized to do something about it. A lone gunman isn't that.
Just a matter of time until this trailer gets made. I remember the Oppenheimer one and now that we've got the AI trailers, you don't even need an actual movie to use as source material this time.
I've unironically been toying around with some free online tools trying to make a movie about Steve coming to the real world... it's slow going and not worth showing to anyone as it is, but I'm having fun.
Same sure he isnโt the best but he isnโt bad, imo tho heโs more of a comedic person which is why I enjoyed Deadpool more than his other โseriousโ movies lol
I picked this handle for one reason: it's like catnip for the intellectually tepid. The room temperature IQ crowd seemingly can't resist making that exact comment and I can't help but imagine they feel quite proud of their accomplishment, much like the joy and pride I see in my dog's eyes after she takes a poo. Given my love of poking fun at people like yourself for being absolute houseplants, seeing them poke fun at themselves without even realizing it gives me a similar post-defecation spring in my step.
Hey, Jack Black is funny. Nobody watches his films for intellectual stimulation, but for a step above slapstick comedy, with surprisingly good vocal solos.
I hate that I can visualize this greentext so easily.
The fact that they show a Dark Souls poster and proceed to describe an Elden ring movie is very funny. Like the producers don't know the difference.
they'd be proud of the fact that they never played video games, let alone the source material.

The quote is amazing.
that's an even better quote than the one I remembered
"Ah sweet, a new Miyazaki film!"
Wrong Miyazaki! Go back!
*gets bogged down in poison swamp*
They need to combine forces so Studio Ghibli makes a Dark Souls/Elden Ring movie, and Fromsoft makes a game about Princess Mononoke or something.
Would a dark souls movie actively keep anyone with a handicap from entering the theater?
"In order to enter the theatre, you need to be able to get past The Wall."
I absolutely hate this, but can't deny that it's accurate
Tbh, i'd love a dark souls movie with Jack Black and Nick Cage.
Jack Black as Solaire would work. I can see the jolly cooperation now
And a shaven Adam Sandler as patches. This would truly be an awful film. Iโd see it. Not in theaters, certainly. Not even my own streaming subscription. But eventually Iโll be on someoneโs couch and exactly drunk enough to dare them to put it on.
This is how I ended up seeing Sonic 3.
Did I enjoy Jim Carrey? Yes, very much so.
Do I want to go back and see Sonic 2, which I completely missed? No.
You did it right
You're on the money, Cageman is who this movie needs
Ew.
I'm on board for Jack Black though.
That actually sounds incredible lmao
Honestly, anything w/ Jack Black is incredible. He somehow saved the Minecraft movie for me by turning it into a weird School of Rock nostalgia trip.
They already created this game.
It was called Brutal Legend
It was quite good.
Yup. Most that you can fault it for, is the mechanics later in the game, which try to teach you how to play multiplayer, getting too repetetive.
Because of course the game had PvP battling with music stages as bases.
I think the main issue people had was it had lot of RTS sections further in.
They weren't actually that bad, but the demo gave no clue that the main chunk of gameplay was going to be running around issuing orders rather than the basic heavy metal themed hack-and-slash it pretended to be.

Pretty good soundtrack too.
"they ruined it! There aren't even bonfires in elden ring! In lore theyre called this-games-thing!"
THIS SUMMER, ROB SCHNEIDER DOOP DE DERP DEE DOODLEY DERP
This summer, unfortunately, Rob Schneider is
Now playing Elle King - The Let Go
(Rob Schneider's daughter)
You can do it Rob Schneider's daughter! Sing your fucking heart out!
"What? Who cares? YOU'LL WATCH IT. Fuck you."
Fuck it, I'm down
The "Who let the dogs out" soundtrack made me lose my shit.
You know, I don't think I've ever heard that song in full. Apparently the dogs are metaphorical
The dogs were let out. They aren't gonna stick around and finish the song for you.
AI will create this movie 20 years from now, I hope you're happy.
Psh there's probably some Jabroni already working on it as we speak
I'm predicting 20 months
Was the minecraft movie ai generated
Based af
The swamp itself farts with every green bubble that boils and pops on the surface.
"Rock of Ages" was good too
It might be one of the only jukebox musicals I don't want to kill with a brick, but let's aim higher
Well, I know people would watch it.
I did not watch the Minecraft movie myself, no desire to experience a full theater of people throwing popcorn around screaming chicken jockey.
Movie industry is fucked.
i enjoyed the Minecraft movie. i wouldn't say it was great, but i was watching it with my nephews and had fun. it helped that mamoa and black were clearly having fun doing it and had good chemistry together. (i even play the song "lava chicken" for fun hehe)
I watched it this week, no popcorn was thrown. The movie was a solid 5/10, and was only carried by JB being JB.
I'm still sore about Jack Black being a coward and throwing Kyle Gass under the bus so IDK how much that would help with my enjoyment.
This one. I'm actually w/ Jack Black on this, because condoning violence is never okay, even for someone as distasteful as Trump.
That said, I think it was an overreaction. Maybe there's more to it and this was the last straw. Idk.
That said, I'm sure Kyle is doing fine.

Hell, the mortal kombat fan trailer was fantastic. There are some talented folks out there.
"Praise the sun!" Start trashing the cinema and blasting take on me full volume
Sweet baby Jesus I can see this whole thing in my head every time I read it, these previews are so cookie cutter it's insane
I wish โThe Studioโ was ballsy enough to do an episode about this exactly.
/>:(
Goddamnit I give up with the formatting
>:(
Backslash, not forward slash.
Thaaaanks
>:)
Yeah, that probably exactly what's gonna happen. Just make sure to end me before that please.
The sad thing is I can see this getting made.
This is a repost, no?
Yeah. It's hard to tell but if you look closely at the formatting you can see this was already posted on 4chan.
I thought so, but wasn't sure
You Died
Jack Black being in a movie is not a positive. Like any movie with The Rock or Ryan Reynolds. Instantly on the no watch list.
The whole thing is a joke...
I actually really like Ryan Reynolds, if he's in a movie I'm excited about it. Like Green Lantern.
Same sure he isnโt the best but he isnโt bad, imo tho heโs more of a comedic person which is why I enjoyed Deadpool more than his other โseriousโ movies lol
Neil deGrasse Tyson badass.jpg
GIve me Jack Black with either of those two and I'll probably enjoy it. It'll be a bunch of stupid comedy, and sometimes I'm really into that.
You need to get off the internet for a while man
Even though this comment was not targeted twoards me, I will take your advice anyway.
LOL
I love love LOVE it when I get this comment.

Hey now... houseplants are pleasant and inviting. This guy's more like a wet blanket.
Touchรฉ!
I'm with stupid. Here's your prescription for grass touching.
Iโm sorry, I would watch the fuck out of this and I hate souls games.
