I really liked the newest Jumanji's ending. Danny Devito was adorable. "Spencer taught me how to play a video game.  "

Ghost Leviathan posted:Yeah, it's got the feeling of that weird transitory period where there's cutscenes and voiced NPCs and something of a plot but it's all still shallow and cheesy, which also really suits the movie format because it has all the elements that dumb boomers associate with video games without feeling out of place to the young people who actually play modern ones and cringe at still having pac-man sound effects on a modern console. And it matches up with the timeline since the game transformed 20 years before the bulk of the movie begins. Not to mention having a character that's basically Lara Croft. (While The Rock is basically Doc Savage) It's probably the best video game movie so far, and predictably does so by not actually being about a video game. The Crash Bandicoot trilogy remaster came out in summer 2017 and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle did and came out in winter of 2017, I wouldn't be surprised if the popularity of the former helped the latter since it sold really well and also introduced a lot of younger kids to that generation of games for the first time. It even had a similar jungle adventure theme, so for actual children who are too young to have nostalgia for the 90s movie that might have been the biggest selling point.

Best movie of 2019: Either Pain and Glory or Parasite. I preferred Pain and Glory but I’m real into those art life/creative struggle movies. Worst movie: The Dead Don’t Die. This one was real disappointing. Best Worst Movie: CATS

The long-in-development Uncharted movie adaptation may be once again in trouble, as Tom Holland's scheduling conflict may cause another delay in production, and if that occurs, the director may leave the project https://variety.com/2019/film/news/uncharted-travis-knight-tom-holland-1203453763/

Apparently he's shooting a series based on Brave New World for Peacock, the upcoming NBC streaming service. There it will be joining yet another version of Battlestar Galactica, the last reboot of which only ended in 2009.

Brave of them going to show the remnants of the crew trying to mate with primitive human life in order to make Midochondrial Eve, maybe even bring back a dead character as an angel or some poo poo helping out like Al from "Quantum Leap" giving dating pointers and sex advice.

I've never played an Uncharted game since I don't have a PS3/4, but Tom Holland looks like he has too much of a baby face to play Drake.

Remember last year when Nathan Fillion did an Uncharted "fan film" to try and convince the studios that a B-list television actor pushing 50 was the best choice for the role. I don't know why having a guy in his 30s who is a scrapping adventurer is such a hard sell for studios when it's the entire premise of the series but I'll take baby Drake over old man Drake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5CZQpqF_74

I didn't coin the term but yeah, this console generation's tentpole games have largely been about gruff middle-aged men shepherding around kids who constantly shout praise and adoration at the player for protecting them, the pendulum has basically swung all the way back to praising games for being serious and cinematic except now the big buff white guy you play as cries sometimes. Kids who grew up with NESes are old enough for colonoscopies now so the games and the people who make them are all about getting epic feels and gameplay that looks impressive without straining their aging reflexes or requiring more than the half hour of gaming time a week they get to master it, .
