Would you like to play a game?



I’ll be curious how much the total budget ends up being then

Like with a lot of video game movies this is coming way too late. There have been like 5 regular Borderlands games plus the Telltale ones, and I feel like the time for this movie was like 2015

In their defense this feels like it started filming in 2015.

The greatest sensual pleasure there is is to know the desires of another!

They probably went all-in with paying Blanchette and Hart to be in it because they knew that was the only real chance of this not being a massive flop. Pretty sure you don't get Kevin Hart in this movie unless it's top dollar plus a little bit more.

There was a really fun episode of the obscure UK show Urban Myths that dramatized the creation of Yesterday called Paul McCartney's Scrambled Eggs. It was cute, charming, and low-key. Completely the opposite of whatever Sam Mendes is probably up to—just a neat little well-made slice of life that didn't feel like a hagiography.

Here's a lowres version from YouTube, but I'd encourage you to seek it out in better quality because it's actually got quite a nice look to it:

oh no doubt, no one in the world wants to see lennon beat his family and there's probably more money to be had in the clickbait pointing out its inevitable omission

I imagine he's just filming one big movie and dividing it into quarters by the power of gimmickry, Mendes' main mode now.

I would watch a Ringo movie that was only about him playing Mr Conductor. Release that and then say you ran out of money to do the rest.

The extended cut of Yellow Submarine already has the Beatles meet the Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The Ringo movie should be just a bunch of crazy poo poo that people would never believe, like Ringo meeting aliens or Ringo as James Bond or something.

The perennial paradox of music biopics: no commercial appeal without the catalog rights, which in turn entail the cooperation of the musician(s) or their estates, which in turn obligates the film to be a hagiography
