I would not take this bet.
Inventory is stored in the cubes
What’s with all the 40 year olds in basements bitching about this movie? It’s not for you dude
If they do not kill an Ender Dragon after first dying 40 times with unenchanted armor trying to blow up those things on the obsidian towers, I WILL SET FIRE TO THE THEATER!!! RESPECT MY GAMING EXPERIENCE!!!
I have played Minecraft for maybe only like 50 hours, and I’ve never done anything but just free build with no purpose, enemies or anything. I just use the game to build stuff that pops into my head. I’ve never actually played it to fight monsters or story mode or anything
Who do you think is buying the movie tickets? Is your little cousin gonna smash his piggy bank and pay the $35 ticket with his leftover pennies and nickels?
It’s adults. Adults pay to watch the movies. I’d happily pay to watch Shrek again in theaters.
Yeah, but they pay for their kids to watch. Similar to how adults will happily pay to send their kids to summer camp: it’s mindless daycare and the adults get to switch off for a while.
Ahh I see. You’re the type of person to pull out their phone in the theater. 👍
right, that tracks - well done
The best pieces of children’s cinema are always those with good writing that can simultaneously entertain and respect both the children and the adults in the teather. Everything else is rightfully forgotten as dumb slop. Pandering to little children humor is always a sure way for IPs to die in obscurity.
Lol parents are paying. And parents don’t give a single shit if the movie the kids want to see is good or not, we expect the worst. We sat through the emoji movie and every Minion thrown at us.
I doubt you have kids so you’re not paying for anything here.
Besides stop acting like you’re funding the movie and demand returns. If you don’t wanna see it don’t. Show them your disdain by withholding your money. But don’t get mad when it’s a big hit with kids and it makes a fortune.
This is one of those movies I will only learn about through memes.
I love the part where Steve says, “IT’S MININ’ TIME!”
Sufficient
I could go either way on this one. There’s no great cache of lore to betray, and everybody already sort of plays Minecraft how they want. It actually could work as a fairly generic but charming Jumanji clone.
It could also suck donkey cubes. I’m just saying the licensed IP isn’t really going to make or break this one.
The few bits of lore that exist are probably going to be fumbled. I really do hope they do just have herobrine in the background of some scene. The trailer looks like they are going all in on hoglins, which I’m completely meh on. Endermen are probably too scary for a little kid movie tho.
Not those guys who melt in the rain and can be dealt with by sloshing a bucket of water on them! Or just standing under a low overhang…
Even the Daleks eventually figured out how to fly up stairs.
Remember when JB said, “I blacked out. Did something important happen?” in borderlands.
Me either, but he did, and we’re gonna get that joke again too.
I don’t but if i had i would have used that line with my friends when the credits rolled
Look at the brass cubes on this guy!
truly the low hanging fruit of a joke
Low hanging cube you mean
Your joke but worse.jpg
Whoever wrote it should get the sack.
Certainly nut the most creative joke
Someone needed to make that joke and I just happened to have the cojones to do it.
Eh, don’t get twisted up about it. They took a crack at it, that’s what counts. Some times you have to feel around for the right joke.
Everything in Minecraft is cubes so expect the cube humor. Testicles are particularly humorous so I have confidence in this prediction.
Probably a pixelation joke too for nudity that the kids won’t get but the adults will.
Naw, it’ll just play a metal-hitting-metal sound effect, he’ll brief make eye contact with the camera, give a little smirk, and the scene will continue with no further acknowledgement.
I dont get it.
And I will laugh ( if I watch it)
It’s a movie with jack black, you watch!
Dunno why people would criticize Black’s characters in film. I mean, that’s what he does. Same as Sandler, Ferrell, or any of the rest of the low hanging fruit, cringe, or bro-humor comedy actors. I wouldn’t go to a movie with Jack Black in it and expect Shawshank Redemption.
That being said, Sandler and Ferrell do some amazing serious stuff.
They can, absolutely. However it’s just not the norm.
Watch Bernie if you want to see Black do a different take. His character is quirky, but there’s a lot of depth to him as well.
I do wish we got to see Black use a little more of his range because he can deliver a nuanced comedic character too.
I really, really liked his performance in Bernie. He was silly, but there was also a simultaneous depression, fear, and darkness in his performance.
