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.
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.
“We didn’t look at the game. We didn’t talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world. So I never felt limited by it being a game.”
The quote is amazing.
that’s an even better quote than the one I remembered
Was the minecraft movie ai generated
Yeah, that probably exactly what’s gonna happen. Just make sure to end me before that please.
Final shot is Jack Black clumsily wading through a poison swamp, “not again!”
The swamp itself farts with every green bubble that boils and pops on the surface.
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.
“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.

Now playing Elle King - The Let Go

“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
Movie is called Dark Souls, plot is Elden Ring. Hollywood on par for the course.
Reminds me of the director Jon Peters who wanted a giant spider in Superman and was shot down. So he got Wild West and put a giant spider in there.
Hollywood does whatever Hollywood wants.
AI will create this movie 20 years from now, I hope you’re happy.
“they ruined it! There aren’t even bonfires in elden ring! In lore theyre called this-games-thing!”
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 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.
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, we’re literally supporting terrorism, because that’s 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.
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 absolutely hate this, but can’t deny that it’s accurate
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.
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.
You Died
I thought so, but wasn’t sure
