these questions are never addressed, just like in the Cars movies. but there isn't an image or a scene that brings that question into the foreground, like how the Cars race... but also watch in the stands?

im not trolling

how does this compare to Darkman 3

Rewatched the Mr. Show 'Coupon: The Movie' sketch this weekend. As with most on-the-nose satire wrt the stupidity of human culture, we've already far exceeded its reach to the point where it seems a rather droll and reasonable idea for a movie now.

Idiocracy is already like...lol, Mike Judge thought it would take us a whole 100 years to get there? Come on.

Idiocracy sucks. Have you seen it recently? Extremely dated, such a product of the Bush 43 years - the whole thing is an implicit endorsement of eugenics.

Oh good this argument

let's get back to the emoji movie

new board description

biggest complaint: my favorite emoji - 😜 - isn't in it.

Does dearest beloved 😭 make an appearance?

Or much-favoured 🐦?

xp yes! "Crying While Laughing" is shown being carried on a stretcher with a broken leg, unable to deviate from his assigned emotion of hysterical laughter & joy. it's horrifying

✔

imago - is that the Twitter bird? he makes a brief but very important appearance

🆒

i use coffee every day

brb gonna pitch coffee: the movie

oh whoops missed old lunch's "coupon the movie" reference upthread

"yeah, and it was a movie!"

If you guys don't mind I'm just going to print out this thread and use it as the script for my 21st Century update of No Exit, thanks.

I would see Coupon: The Movie and Coffee: The Movie over almost any superhero movie any day.

"i saw the shit out of it!!!" - flappy bird

The Thread: The Movie

YO I would be front-fucking-row for The Thread Movie

well we've already had The Thread: The Podcast so how far off can we be, maybe we should start with a netflix series

flappy bird can be played by Seth Rogen

ew... no

i want to be played by the actual Flappy Bird

sorry but we've already shopped the treatment to multiple studios and the cast is locked in with point on the back end so ya burnt suck it up you are now fully owned IP

ok... i'll settle for Michael Cera

can i be played by udo kier pls

It'll have to be limited to threads for monetizable products, no new post-Fahey folk for instance.

is the thinking face emoji a character in this movie?

this guy - 🤔? no. i was disappointed that more emojis weren't featured or given lines

f this film forever then

torn between reluctantly admiring flappy bird's oddly cogent defence of this piece of shit film, and wondering how someone who thinks this and an angry birds film were worth seeing every came across enough money to buy 2 movie tickets

hey now

It's interesting that they've come up with bits of actual plot riffing on the emojis. Stuck in textopolis. Have to be one emotion forever. Break out of this to find their true selves. Okay. I guess why it's so hard to get beyond the feeling of being spat on by movie execs is the combo of two kinds of cynicism: 'crank out yet another animated movie to get kid dollars' plus 'base the story around the cartoon pictures supplied with a smartphone'

Like re: smartphones it would not be a huge step to make a movie about some kids who are somehow shrunk down and trapped in their smartphone, or a movie about some kids who lose their smartphone and have to survive in a tent with their dog for a weekend and learn all about real life. Both of those movies would still be schmaltzy and cynical as fuck but the movie-making effort required to get to their level, from the level of the emoji movie, is so slight that it's absence creates the impression that we the viewing public are being viewed with contempt I guess.

the emoji "brand awareness" or whatever is the hook to shuck the same bullshit platitudes/plotlines they've always drawn on

I'm generally of the opinion that, in the right hands, a worthwhile story can be constructed around any subject.

Except emojis. Sorry.

this is gonna be the first movie in history where the inevitable porn parody ends up being better than the original, isn't it?

the movie is about being yourself and respecting others, i think that's a really valuable message

https://lparchive.org/Fallout-4/Smilies/emot-colbert.gif

xps Also somehow, bearing in mind that kid's movies (and tv shows and toys and everything else aimed at kids) are probably always hawking some reified grown-up thing, and this is always shady and sinister; bearing that in mind the attempt by this movie to sell children smartphones seems somehow more pernicious than C.S. Lewis attempting to sell them Anglicanism

The best way to be yourself is to communicate exclusively via the limited palette of emojis imo.

bearing that in mind the attempt by this movie to sell children smartphones

lol no, this is wrong, like i said upthread. the movie assumes everyone has a smartphone. there is no smartphone product placement. a shocking amount of young kids do. i graduated HS in 2011 and i think i'm part of the last generation to go thru primary school w/o a smartphone. i can't imagine what it's like now.
