Sony Pictures is my favorite studio, just a pantheon of movies that are so bad they have no entertainment value whatsoever e: oh this is Lionsgate, they're a close second

As a videogame maker (not that one thank god) I'm perpetually amazed by what small amounts of novelty can eventually spin itself off into even after years of not doing anything worthwhile. BL1 was a boilerplate looter shooter, which stood out by being relatively early to the market and a had trailer with an extremely catchy song. No one had mouths though, and there really wasn't any story. It was a barebones affair. The trailer alone financed another game, not really the game itself. So for BL2 they hired a voice actor for their villain that went off the loving rails (Dameon Clarke). The head writer (Matt Armstrong) hated him, hated his improv lines, tried to get him fired, failed, and eventually left the studio himself in a whiny huff after reception for Dameon's Handsome Jack character was far better received than anything else going on in BL2. That's the spark, though. The New Thing. People expected looting, shooting, and whacky hijinx, but the fact that Jack went super hard was surprising and amusing. Gearbox has been chasing that high ever since, to no avail. A decade+ and several major titles and minor DLC releases later, and no one really gives a poo poo. But I'm convinced this movie wouldn't exist if it wasn't for a particularly bored Canadian voice actor just riffing in the studio. Cate Blanchett had to be briefed by her publicist as to what the gently caress this IP even is because of that. So much was set in motion. All of this to say that, like making movies or whatever, making games has many people involved and many moving parts (duh). But real magic can come from anywhere, and real talent comes from seeing it and embracing it. Gearbox letting Clarke do his thing and releasing the game with his 500+ extra bullshit lines in your ear was the magic that few studios ever find, and fewer find a second time.

That baffling A24 Alex Garland movie about a civil war where California and Texas team up to fight the East Coast released a second trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBEEDOm2O5E It does not answer any of the obvious questions raised by the premise.

It makes sense, disney have laid off a lot of their physical media people and probably want to close it out completely. They can outsource it to the failing sony corporation as a half measure until the dreamed of digital only future is complete

Speaking of Sony and physical media turns out this just came out! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPD2V35M Honestly Disney just letting Sony handle their home releases is probably the best outcome for us. They’ve been pretty solid Edit: lmao https://x.com/jaybauman1/status/1760030455607259440?s=46&t=nGLHvHjFd0Mgr2TKVx4enQ Gutcruncher fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Feb 20, 2024 |

Jamie Lee Curtis is the most likely actor to have actually played borderlands. She went to evo dressed as Vega (or as we true gamers like to call him "claw")
