...of SCIENCE! posted:I am inordinately upset that, rather than encouraging creativity and being set in an entirely unique world made of legos, the Lego movie seems to an unending parade of IPs that have Lego kits made out of them. So it's just one giant toy commercial and series of plugs; be sure to buy thew new Lego Batman kits, in stores holiday season 2013! And the new Justice League Lego kits! Is there a way to make a lego movie without it being a giant toy commercial? Even if you remove the IPs, its still a lego movie. Also we get a goofy Batman because of this. The world needs more goofy Batmans.

That's just the way Lego is these days. While there are a ton of people making original works out there, from a sales point of view, Lego isn't really about "generic" sets of Lego anymore. For better or worse, licensing is their game. With it being such a big component of the companies products, it would be a bit weird, from a childs point of view, to see a Lego movie that featured none of the licenses they were so familiar with.

Lizard Combatant posted:e: Hahaha, holy poo poo I only just got the irony of complaining that IP licenses make the LEGO MOVIE a giant toy advertisement. Of course it's been sliding down a slippery slope of telling children how to play with toys for a long time but it's better than buying kids videogames. edit: I guess you could buy your kids Minecraft.

Jefferoo posted:What's sad is that the Battleship movie kinda loving rocks in all the worst ways. The battleship pegs as the alien weapons, the boat drift, the use of AC/DC, a real-life cyborg soldier beating the poo poo out of an alien... there's a certain sense of positivity to it that I just can't knock. FTFY, because if you aren't RARHing at the screen when that happens, I don't know what unfeeling, un-American person you are. I was actually tearing up when that happened.

Honestly, the product placement was the least of that film's problems - and somewhat appropriate considering his "and The American Way" catch phrase.

I agree the movie had way worse problems, but it still made that fight worse when you notice that shots were framed specifically to incorporate the Sears or 7-11 logo taking up 1/4 of the screen. It's horribly distracting and makes the movie feel cheap to me. Anyway, here's a poster for a movie I am really looking forward to. I really like it, it's simple and classy.

Probably the white background plus action pose, plus number in the title. But drat, that cast... Looking forward to that now. And the Lego movie looks loving awesome.

You know, if I could have a house so big that it has a goddamn sewing room, I would put up with it being a labyrinthine wolf face. Also, I love that one room is about five feet by five feet and just has a chair facing the wall.

Skwirl posted:While I do think it's a great toy for kids, *cough cough* They get poo poo for that but to be fair, there's also a set with a robotics lab and another one with the extremely girlish hobby of flying aeroplanes. That You're Next poster almost looks like something from Hotline Miami. Its a pretty nice poster and sure it isn't any kind of logical house but using the visuals of a plan drawing for a horror film set in a house is a cool idea. And it also tells me what the film is going to be about, unless the film isn't gonna be about some guy in an animal mask trying to kill people in a house.
