Has anyone ever read the 1991 novel A Thousand Acres??

It's kind've about how the farming life is poisonous, and owning things is poison, and family is poison, and greed is poison, and trauma poisons your life, and sometimes the groundwater actually literally poisons you.

It's just crass cross promotion. If Sony could stick him in a horizon zero dawn movie they would do it without hesitation.

At this rate, Tom Holland is probably 3 more non-MCU movies away from a decent flick.

Is the Uncharted movie supposed to be a prequel or something because in the games Drake looks like he's in his 30s or whatever and Sully is like grey and "too old for this" but now they are a child and mark wahlberg respectively? or is it just The Cinematic Vision

When you make the bad decision to make a movie out of a video game that's not metal gear solid it follows that the only successive decisions not to cancel the project are all bad decisions.

Squid Game came out after Parasite proved that it's okay to like movies/tv that's not in English.

the full moon is rising as I gather with all my neighbors in the town square. They come from everywhere - Snow White Circle, Toy Story Avenue, Star Wars Court. The golden mouse statue glitters in the moonlight, it's beautiful enough to bring you to tears. The last day of the month... we all look forward to it. Midnight approaches. We kneel, sobbing with joy. A chime sounds, and we all pull out our phones. Disney Plus. our mortgages. utlities. There is no reason to pay anyone else, the mouse provides all. a wild cry rises from the group, crows leap from the surrounding trees and black out the sky

I still think Nintendo announcing Chris Pratt as the voice of Mario is the weirdest thing to see in the past year.

But you see Pratt with Mario, Holland with Uncharted and Mulaney/Samberg with Chip 'N Dale and it shows they literally do not give a poo poo and will just let Hollywood do whatever.

I mean its still a step up from giving everything to Uwe Boll.

should've gone with Nathan Fillion tbh

also 'last three holland films' is pretty selective. he's averaging around 60-70% outside Avengers: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/tom_holland

Devil all the Time was a loving miserable experience tho, if well made. Also had no idea he was in Locke, that's a good movie.

TV has more creative freedom than movies. There was an article years back about the guy who tried to make the Metal Gear Solid movie but nobody would fund it without either A) wanting 'profit-safe' poo poo in the movie or B) giving him a low budget. You either fight hard for the small chance of getting what you want or give up and the project dies or someone else takes over and just Hollywoods it up.

The Sonic movie was a lucky opportunity because the reception of the original Sonic movie design was so bad that it became viral. Some nerds say it's a marketing stunt but those nerds don't know how out of touch movie studios are with most media. Videogames are seen at the same level as toy brands.

stunt casting in kids movies is jsut to get some easy chuckles out of the parents in attendance.

means having the voices be recognizable as the actors so instead of trying to create a voice for the character they just write the characters to the voice of the actor's public persona. the seth rogen character in that trailer could not be more of a textbook example of this poo poo

Mulaney and Sandberg are both funny actors with experience in two handers though. idk if you can call having a B tier standup and a third rate tv comedy lead starring in a comedy “stunt casting” especially in a post talking about Chris Pratt. how many people even know who John Mulaney is? I bet more people will recognize Spider Ham than Mulaney
