Gritty, raw UNO movie coming soon
UNO, but it’s a Yu-Gi-Oh style anime movie.
Daniel Kaluuya is starring in a Barney movie and I’m not even joking.
And apparently it is adult-themed and explores millennial angst and disenchantment, because reasons. Yes, really.
Damn, it could work.
Can’t wait for more corporate slop, maybe an “Agent Orange” movie in parternship with Bayer
“Product” movies are all the rage. I could totally see them doing an Aspirin movie.
Aspirin vs Paracetamol : Dawn of Big Pharma
In the mid credit scene they setup Heroin as the vilain for the next movie.
Here’s hoping for a blood soaked apocalyptic crime epic: The Mattel Marauder
They should raid my GF’s toybox. It’ll keep them busy for years.
I was gonna post a rant railing against this obvious money-grab (shilling, product placement, half the budget is marketing/promotion blah blah blah) when, utilizing my encyclopedic memory of the moving image, I realized this type of “cinema” is nothing new. The only real difference is that now it is no longer an afterthought but an integral part of the plan, an efficient, organized, concerted cross-media marketing ploy. It’s not meta, it’s nostalgia rationalization; it’s not smart, it’s calculated.
Brand immersion my ass.
That was one long fucking article lol
Next company up, Mego.
I think your timing’s off. You might have made big money pitching that idea 10-20 years ago. The Micronauts Movie! Action Jackson: 8" of Dynamite!
Fairly satisfied that somebody understands!
😬 I’m almost ashamed of myself! 🤣 Cheers!
