the most tasteless unfunny thing I can think of is a joke about skin color/race where the punchline is the protagonist saying "check your privilege, jeez" so it's probably that

I’m just hoping people on social media figure out how to game it so that studios lose as much money as possible greenlighting and producing poo poo no one wants.

There was nothing in the ads for Rudy Giuliani: teenage kraken that looked even remotely interesting. gently caress, the Flash at least looked like the fun kind of train wreck (I didn't see that one either).

None of my daughters had even heard of it. I only know about it because people in this thread posted about it a few weeks ago. I'm not even sure where it advertised, but those places didn't hit my family at all.

EDIT: The bigger problem is my kids don't even go to the movies anymore. They stream poo poo on their phones or on the TV with their friends. I don't think they've asked me to take them to a theater since I went to see the D&D movie and my youngest wanted to go with me.

The only place I saw ads for it was in front of other movies. But most of the streaming services I use don't have ads so who knows if it's on any of those

Yeah I saw the trailer for it before Spider-Verse. But after seeing Spider-Verse, all other animated films just pale in comparison.

What I don't get about how hard it supposedly was to find an acceptable "gently mocking but also celebrating in a self-aware way" tone for a Barbie movie is that Barbie: Life In The Dollhouse already exists and is exactly that.

Hollywood had a relatively stable model that lasted for decades and produced good movies and within 10 years the private equity/vertical integration/ip management crowd managed to largely destroy it. The only guys consistently making money are old 80s holdouts who do things their way.

They killed The Movies. Incredible!

Uhhhh. They need to stop trying to make Narnia happen and move onto some newer fantasy. It’s dumb propaganda and won’t be improved significantly over the 00s versions. The last book won’t be any less unfilmable now than it’s ever been.

You forget to mention it's for Netflix. So it probably won't be as restricted as the theatrical movies. Greta can make it as bloody or blasphemous as she wants.

Sweet, can't open the lovely site to see the embedded pictures without logging in and had to instead read the article.

...It was in that article that I learned Sony grabbed the rights to Candy Land and tried to make an Adam Sandler movie out of it.
