    Past low effort video game movies? Borderlands just released. The budget got bigger, but I don’t think there’s an honest effort here.

    Even more controversial, I assume, the Mario and Sonic movies are forgettable at best. I couldn’t think of a way to make them more generic without dropping the theming entirely.

    On the topic of Mario, how did Jack Black end up in the Minecraft movie? I haven’t seen anyone else in there before, I think.

      He did read the audiobook of Minecraft: The Mountain. So he’s got some past experience in Minecraft?

        Plus he’s a respected games journalist over in his channel Jablinski Gaming.

        No but really I think he’s a safe choice for family movies. The producers know what they’re getting.

    We’re entering an age where these CEOs calling the shots are extra useless and they just ask AI what to do. This is the kinda horseshot you’re going to start seeing.

        As of this year, it’s fair to assume any movie to be released will be impacted in some way by AI.

    I found it amusing. I didn’t have any expectations, and still don’t, it was just funny in an absurd way.

        And his is why MAGA is so successful. They are doing it, while all others are rather cautious/afraid. The false sense of morals will not save you, when the others are in power and shoot you.
