Sadly I feel like they are going to make far more money off it being terrible than if it were simply mediocre.

In fact, I don't think I've seen TJ Miller say anything sincerely in the entire time he's been famous.

This would be better if the movie was being sincerely pushed as a counter-Trump movie, instead of a conservative rag blowing up some platitudes that Miller said in an interview with someone else. Now I'm imagining the Emoji movie being promoted as being part of #TheResistance and I think that might come close to having justified its existence.

I think what's basically Twitter: The Movie isn't exactly anti-Trump in theme, given the guy basically Tweeted his way to the White House with aggressive nonsense that beat boring nonsense.

Inescapable Duck posted:I think what's basically Twitter: The Movie isn't exactly anti-Trump in theme, given the guy basically Tweeted his way to the White House with aggressive nonsense that beat boring nonsense. BUT!, Trump has never issued a tweet using an emoji. The film The Emoji Movie is crafted around a core juxtaposition between communication modes: the president's text-only composition v. the neopictograph emoji, also known as emoticon, also known as smilie, also known as smilie face. On the surface this celebration (and, as a work of animation Occidental in origin, necessarily an infantilization) of a simpler and more primitive visual mode of idea conveyance could easily seem an appeal to both tradition and authority. One who considers the film within that particular succession of interpretation would surely judge The Emoji Movie politically and culturally conservative. But a viewer of The Emoji Movie armed with an understanding of emoji history and evolution's roots in the anti-authoritarian and youth dominated middle-early period of Internet Culture will know the film is actually (though not merely) liberal, and it is radical and revolutionary. The Emoji Movie is clearly intended to serve as a proud, clear and defiant blasting bugle of muster sounded in these grim and uncertain hours of the Trumpian dawn. This brave and bold film was fashioned in recruitment of a new army, an army of those unafraid to stand resolute, to march forward unceasing, to gather in its advance a greater and greater power, and eventually to stand before the gates of Trump's White House. They will rattle the bars and tear at the stones and challenge any within that house come face them on the field.

The extent of The Emoji Movie's feminism is the girl Emoji complaining that in the original set of Emoji, the only female Emoji was the princess Emoji. The protagonist Emoji then says it's ok to be whatever Emoji you are. That ends the subplot.

I wonder if the fact that emoji are Unicode characters and therefore everyone is free to use them is why this was made. If you're going to make a soulless mid-budget animated movie based on whatever is popular why not choose a source that won't actually cost anything?

Is it safe to say that this is worse than Foodfight? Foodfight was at least fascinating in its awfulness while this had no redeeming qualities at all.

Initial reports back from when the idea was being pitched (and eventually sold for $1m+) was that because emojis aren't trademarked and are widely available, studios wouldn't have to shell out any $$ for the rights, making the concept more directly viable for studios.

As The Emoji Movie Watcher, this is exactly how I feel about the respective films.

Calaveron posted:Hey yeah if I buy a generic poop emoji pillow is some rear end in a top hat at Sony getting paid extra You can copyright specific illustrations of emojis (which is why every operating system and device has its own set) but the emojis themselves aren't owned by anyone and are free to use. Which is precisely why so much crap just has it slapped on it now, it's a popular set of designs with zero licensing cost. So if you buy a beanbag chair of a coiled piece of poop with googly eyes and a smilie face then Sony doesn't make a dime unless it officially licensed and based off of their particular version of the poop.

So, apparently, The Emoji Movie was made instead of Genndy Tartakovsky's Popeye movie over at Sony Animation. Methinks someone made a poor judgement call.

Those were basically my thoughts when I saw a clip of the first 2 or 3 minutes of the film. At some point I literally said to myself "This is Foodfight, they made a big budget Foodfight.". The horror, the horror.

Tartakovsky left the project due to creative differences with Sony, had they gone through with Popeye we still would have gotten a terrible movie only it would be based on something that probably hasn't even been broadcast on TV in this millennium.

He's from Yorkshire which is basically the British equivalent of West Virginia. or maybe it's the other way around.

There's plenty of TNG behind-the-scenes stories about Stewart wanting stuff that was the opposite of stoic Picard. Late edit: I have no interest in seeing this, but man, it warrants its humor-based existence by how mad people get about it, and I can't fathom why.

 quote:SATURDAY AM UPDATE: With an estimated $10 million on Friday, Sony's The Emoji Movie is going to be in a tight race with WB's Dunkirk for #1 at the weekend box office. Dunkirk landed an estimated $8 million on its second Friday in release and both films are looking to gross over $27 million for the weekend. It will largely come down to how Emoji plays over the weekend as opening day audiences gave the film a "B" CinemaScore, though kids under the age of 18 gave it an "A-".

Actually, despite what his British accent might erroneously lead you to believe, captain Picard is in actuality French. In the second episode ("Families) of the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation he visits his family's vineyard in La Barre, France, which is also revealed to be the captain's place of birth. The captain also speaks fluent French in the fifteenth episode "11001001" of the first season.

Agreed, I think that conclusively settles the matter. With regards to the subject of this thread's topic, I was quite dissapointed in this movie's distinct lack of the “Raised Hand With Part Between Middle and Ring Fingers” emoji.
