IMO as long as they're doing this they should make a movie about the Kellogg brothers because it's actually an interesting story

there was a legal battle over whether the name "Kellogg" should be used to advertise cornflakes or rehab centers where rich people go to learn how to not masturbate, because one of the two brothers was much less interested in making money than he was in trying to get people to stop masturbating

FUN FACT, the cornflake Kellogg and the anti-masturbation kingpin Kellogg were not actually the same person! They were brothers who had a falling-out over the ideal purpose of cornflakes. Cornflakes were originally invented as a thing to feed Gatsby socialites at the Kellogg summer camp to teach them how to not party (or masturbate), which tasted good without violating John Kellogg's strict rules against food that tasted good. Will Kellogg thought that people who were NOT currently at anti-fun boot camp might also enjoy eating them. John Kellogg disagreed.

Zizek would call that "buying your redemption" as a consumer

You feel like poo poo buying garbage food but if it's connected to an amazing immigrant success story suddenly you're not just eating trash, you're empowering people

I felt really positively about The Emoji Movie when I watched it, but I was also reading a lot of Sherry Turkle books at the time so I was all on board with the idea of personifying computer stuff.

Independence day 2 sucked as well. Need a total shutdown of sequels to 90's blockbusters no one asked for. You are right in that twister was redeemed by the cast and performances and not because it's a particularly good disaster movie. The studio went well... what if we had a lovely cast? Doesn't look good!

Like independence day 2. Didn't even have a will smith in his prime, just had a bunch of old people looking at cgi. Boring!

E: just remembering the grandpa in id2 driving a bus full of children into the desert TOWARDS the giant alien. Did he want to murder the children???

Lol why was ID2 a low rent Star Trek? What a bizarre movie
