what comes out of the poop's butt? corn on the cob?

does not appear to have a butt based on this clip, although it raises more questions than it answers

Maybe in the sequel the emojis can come out of the phone and into the pocket where the phone is and they can meet Lint and Penny and Used Kleenex and hopefully there will be stuffed animals and lunchboxes emblazoned with those soon to be much-loved characters and maybe I'll get fed into a wood chipper before that happens and maybe if I'm not fed I'll just like gracefully dive into the whirring spinning blades of my own volition.

In the end — and I am going to spoil this movie here, please prepare yourself for the loss — the emojis turn into GIFs, I guess. Because Gene’s ability to turn himself into multiple feelings helps his user Alex express complicated feelings to the girl he likes everyone gets on board with Gene’s defect.
What? There's no way I'm trusting anarchic emojis with minds of their own in an important text message.

I don't get why the reviews for this are so bad. I saw it last night and it ruled. Charlize Theron kicked so much ass and the 80's soundtrack was Cold War-tastic.

OK, briefly... it's not a well constructed or well written movie, a huge missed opportunity. But the disgust and over the top loathing that this movie is receiving isn't because it's not engaging or even that it's a lazy Inside-Out ripoff, it's because it's the complete opposite of an escapist summer movie. There are so many rich philosophical and social questions posed - time and relativity, multiple universes, and the emojis' condition - being restricted to one emotion at birth and imprisoned within Textopolis in the same way that we complain about being imprisoned by social media and our smartphones. It's a pretty heady movie that squanders its premise and isn't engaging. But the Paris sequence with the parents was kind of beautiful, being able to walk inside of your user's Instagram photo roll and explore a frozen world. I mean, it gets pretty fucking out there at times. Wonder Woman is escapism, The Emoji Movie is reality, and it's horrifying. No wonder people have such a visceral reaction to it.

Is it as good as the third matrix movie, Speed Racer, or The Conversation?
― El Tomboto, Monday, 31 July 2017 03:42 (seven years ago) link
It's definitely better than Matrix Revolutions. I didn't see the 2008 Speed Racer. if John Cazale were alive and in The Emoji Movie, it would be better than The Conversation.

oh yeah, there's an "abandoned luggage" emoji that's black (wtf?). there are black emojis and people in the movie, but the abandoned luggage sounds like Katt Williams, says "oh HELL naw," etc.
xpost thank you i consider that a high compliment

def not better than Speed Racer

flappy loved The Angry Birds Movie as well, lest we forget. I look forward to his review of The Bitcoin Adventure and iPhone 10 Cases: The Musical.

the angry birds movie was nothing compared to this. i really came close to crying during that Paris Instagram scene.

Cheap, based on established brands, kids will see anything ... I was just talking with a fellow parent about what a dire summer it's been for younger kids movies. The top grossing movie of the year so far is I think Beauty and the Beast, but even that was designed to skew slightly older (and more to girls than boys). But otherwise, for little kids, there's been Despicable Me 3, Captain Underpants, Cars 3, Smurfs 3 (was this even released?) ... Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature is coming in a week or so. No, I did not make that title up.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 31 July 2017 13:23 (seven years ago) link
CG kids movies are one of the most profitable genres these days, and it looks like this one was made cheaply, and the premise is practically designed for attracting financing, and emojis are in the public domain

i'll say one thing about this misbegotten horror of a movie, it feels like a perfect summation of the current cultural climate, albeit entirely unintentionally

I just realized that I may need to unpack my Charmin Bears reference above for those who don't live in the US (since this may as well be a repository for signs of the end of western civilization). You see, they're an animated family of bears who've switched to Charmin brand toilet paper because the cheaper brand they'd been using was giving them rampant dingleberries. By the grace of god, this fact is left more implicit than explicit, but still.
― Chock Full of Love and Sexy Feeling (Old Lunch), Monday, 31 July 2017 13:30 (seven years ago) link
why would bears choose to use toilet paper at all when there's likely a decent supply of geese around for them to take care of their dingleberry issues
― the shape of a hot willie lumpkin (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 31 July 2017 13:32 (seven years ago) link
And the initial employment of the animated bears was a riff on the old 'does a bear shit in the woods?' joke. Highbrow fellas, these Charmin execs.
