Seriously though, this means I'll have to watch the Emoji movie beforehand to compare it with this when it comes out.![]()

Ready Player One gave me enough of that nonsense, thanks.Basement Cat said:I do wonder how much time they'll spend in WoW or KOTOR type multiplayers
I wonder how much all the cameos that movie will have will actually have a major part in the movie?Hawki said:Ready Player One gave me enough of that nonsense, thanks.Basement Cat said:I do wonder how much time they'll spend in WoW or KOTOR type multiplayers
They kind of did that with the first movie, which was basically stuck in the Land of Candy Commercials for 8/10s of the time. No one listened to me then though. No one!Canadamus Prime said:I'm guessing they're just going to gloss over, if not completely ignore, the fact that they're abandoning their games even though that was a major plot point in the first movie.
No, I am not sold on this at all. The first movie was an interesting journey of self-discovery. I don't even know what the hell this is other than blatant corporate pandering.
If it's like the book, probably not. There'll be lots of stuff from pop culture, but it won't mean anything, just be sensory overload at best, and obnoxious easter eggs at worst.Samtemdo8 said:I wonder how much all the cameos that movie will have will actually have a major part in the movie?Hawki said:Ready Player One gave me enough of that nonsense, thanks.Basement Cat said:I do wonder how much time they'll spend in WoW or KOTOR type multiplayers
Like is Iron Giant gonna be a full fledged character in the movie following the protaginist?
I suppose you could make that argument. On the other hand, aside from the nudge wink nods to retro video games, it wasn't a plug for any specific product. Also it had fleshed out characters that had arcs. We we also have The Lego Movie. The thing was blatantly a feature length toy commercial, but I didn't mind because it had fully fleshed out likable characters that had arcs. In this movie the characters have no where to go after the first movie so it's just "lets just have them explore the internet and repeat 20 year old jokes." And also completely ignore stuff established in the first movie presumably.maninahat said:They kind of did that with the first movie, which was basically stuck in the Land of Candy Commercials for 8/10s of the time.

Now that you mention it, how the heck did Vanellope get out of her game? She was still glitchy at the end of the first movie.Canadamus Prime said:I'm guessing they're just going to gloss over, if not completely ignore, the fact that they're abandoning their games even though that was a major plot point in the first movie.
yes and no. she's still glitchy, but since the game original code is restore, it migth be possible for her to leave. at the end of the first movie, she was at the marriage...CaitSeith said:Now that you mention it, how the heck did Vanellope get out of her game?

internet is global. it could be nigth at the arcade, and day where ever the little girl is...Canadamus Prime said:Possible except for one tiny detail, in the trailer we see them interfering with that little girl's tablet game in the middle of the day.
Didn't they fix her and she's just used to glitching now, so she knows how to do it on command despite no longer being a glitch, or something?CaitSeith said:Now that you mention it, how the heck did Vanellope get out of her game?

I've been picking at Ready Player One bit by bit, and I have to say that in my opinion the only way to get a good movie out of the idea is to completely throw out the actual book and take the base premise and put it in the hands of a writer who's NOT a jaded arrogant fuck who just wants to show how much of an 80s Mainstream Fanatic he is.Hawki said:If it's like the book, probably not.

I assume since she was restored to her proper form at the end of the first movie she was then able to leave her game.CaitSeith said:Now that you mention it, how the heck did Vanellope get out of her game?

That's certainly possible, but I get the distinct impression that that isn't the case. Given that I'm getting a very "shallow cash in" vibe from this, I highly doubt the writers were clever enough to think of that.cathou said:internet is global. it could be nigth at the arcade, and day where ever the little girl is...Canadamus Prime said:Possible except for one tiny detail, in the trailer we see them interfering with that little girl's tablet game in the middle of the day.
