Sweet baby Jesus I can see this whole thing in my head every time I read it, these previews are so cookie cutter it's insane

[–] Mesophar@pawb.social 83 points 2 days ago

I absolutely hate this, but can't deny that it's accurate

And jack will cheer on the Gaza genocide in a press briefing.

AI will create this movie 20 years from now, I hope you're happy.

[–] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'm predicting 20 months

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Psh there's probably some Jabroni already working on it as we speak

The fact that they show a Dark Souls poster and proceed to describe an Elden ring movie is very funny. Like the producers don't know the difference.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 66 points 2 days ago (1 children)

they'd be proud of the fact that they never played video games, let alone the source material.

look at interviews surrounding halo paramount, "we want to tell our own story in this setting" then proceeds to make garbage that actively disrespects the source.

“We didn’t look at the game. We didn’t talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world. So I never felt limited by it being a game.”

The quote is amazing.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

that's an even better quote than the one I remembered

Final shot is Jack Black clumsily wading through a poison swamp, “not again!”

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 1 day ago

The swamp itself farts with every green bubble that boils and pops on the surface.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (3 children)

They already created this game.

It was called Brutal Legend

It was quite good.

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

That was unfortunately a Jack Black of a different era. This one abandons his lifelong friend to be as hollywood safe as possible for saying meanie-bobeanie things about trump (as a comedian on a stage that is known for political jokes)

[–] xspurnx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

Pretty good soundtrack too.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yup. Most that you can fault it for, is the mechanics later in the game, which try to teach you how to play multiplayer, getting too repetetive.

Because of course the game had PvP battling with music stages as bases.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago

I think the main issue people had was it had lot of RTS sections further in.

They weren't actually that bad, but the demo gave no clue that the main chunk of gameplay was going to be running around issuing orders rather than the basic heavy metal themed hack-and-slash it pretended to be.

I hate that I can visualize this greentext so easily.

This summer, unfortunately, Rob Schneider is

going, FULL MAGA.

zoom in on Schnieder doing a goofy face while wearing a red baseball cap as a slide whistle plays and he says "Who's afraid of the big, bad gays?"

Movie is called Dark Souls, plot is Elden Ring. Hollywood on par for the course.

They need to combine forces so Studio Ghibli makes a Dark Souls/Elden Ring movie, and Fromsoft makes a game about Princess Mononoke or something.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Would a dark souls movie actively keep anyone with a handicap from entering the theater?

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 21 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Well, I know people would watch it.

I did not watch the Minecraft movie myself, no desire to experience a full theater of people throwing popcorn around screaming chicken jockey.

Movie industry is fucked.

I wish “The Studio” was ballsy enough to do an episode about this exactly.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that probably exactly what's gonna happen. Just make sure to end me before that please.

Just a matter of time until this trailer gets made. I remember the Oppenheimer one and now that we've got the AI trailers, you don't even need an actual movie to use as source material this time.
