Gritty, raw UNO movie coming soon

[–] _Rho_@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

UNO, but it's a Yu-Gi-Oh style anime movie.

Daniel Kaluuya is starring in a Barney movie and I'm not even joking.

And apparently it is adult-themed and explores millennial angst and disenchantment, because reasons. Yes, really.

Damn, it could work.

They should raid my GF's toybox. It'll keep them busy for years.

Can't wait for more corporate slop, maybe an "Agent Orange" movie in parternship with Bayer

[–] ours@lemmy.film 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Product" movies are all the rage. I could totally see them doing an Aspirin movie.

Aspirin vs Paracetamol : Dawn of Big Pharma

In the mid credit scene they setup Heroin as the vilain for the next movie.

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Finally, a Masters of the Universe movie!

Skeletor is here to say some insightful meme crap He-Man! Be back in one hour!

Sorry, not wearing my sarcasm detector at the moment…you do know there are already two MOTU movies…?

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wow, that animated movie is just the first 5 episodes of She Ra stitched together which already ran on TV? That’s some evil shit.

[–] kingmongoose7877@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago

Now you're getting it! 😉

That was one long fucking article lol

This is perhaps bad news for Lena Dunham, whom Mattel has lined up to helm “Polly Pocket.”

Kill it with fire

I was gonna post a rant railing against this obvious money-grab (shilling, product placement, half the budget is marketing/promotion blah blah blah) when, utilizing my encyclopedic memory of the moving image, I realized this type of "cinema" is nothing new. The only real difference is that now it is no longer an afterthought but an integral part of the plan, an efficient, organized, concerted cross-media marketing ploy. It's not meta, it's nostalgia rationalization; it's not smart, it's calculated.

Brand immersion my ass.

I think your timing's off. You might have made big money pitching that idea 10-20 years ago. The Micronauts Movie! Action Jackson: 8" of Dynamite!

[–] Gikiski@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fairly satisfied that somebody understands!

[–] kingmongoose7877@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago

😬 I'm almost ashamed of myself! 🤣 Cheers!
