WBD is in pretty dire straights right now, and Zaslav has talked about doubling down on pre-existing franchises to get them out of their hole, so I have to assume they are going to just churn out slop

I hate to say it, as it would affect the employment prospects of a lot of people likely including some posters here, but the eventual WBD bankruptcy auction is going to be far more entertaining than some of the crap they keep announcing

There can be one CGI gremlin in the mix, but it has to be something like the electric gremlin that works in that medium. In fact let’s do a crossover with a current big hit:

Are they more likely to go out of business or merge with yet another mega corporation?

There's already subplot about Jennifer Coolidge romancing a Villager (and it is implied they hosed). Apparently this is actually better compared to the main plot.

If someone talked to you
The way you do to you
I'd put their teeth through
Love yourself

And thats what they do
The bastards made you
Not want to look like you
So you pay through the nose
To look like someone else
All the weirdos on the shelf

Love yourself

There's one CGI gremlin but it has to be called CGI Gremlin and the point is that this one is, in the universe of the movie, a computer animated one. Have it running around doing overly flashy cliche CG things.

It's the CGI model the studio made for the sequel and then somebody gets water on it and things go Wrong

I really love the game, but it’s gotta be borderline unfilmable as-is. You’d have to change and condense so much that I’d honestly question what the point would even be.

Yeah, to me the best part of Death Stranding was just slowly making my way through some beautiful desolate scenery, enjoying the vibes and the melancholy mood. Yes, you can obviously replicate that in a movie, but not the part where you're doing that for hours. Well I mean, I guess you CAN, but I'm not sure the studios or audiences are ready for a 20 hour movie.

Man I gotta loving replay Death Stranding. I played it for the first time when COVID had just hit, and somehow that combination of me being isolated in my apartment mixed with the game's reality of being isolated out in the wilderness hit a perfect storm and elevated the experience into one of the best I've ever had with games.

I was early in college when Minecraft went from a thing to A Thing. Never got into it, but I find it wild that Youtubers could make an income from playing that game alone. Less wild is when a Minecraft Youtuber inevitably makes the headlines because he buggered a housepet.

I'm not sure what a "Yogcaster" actually is, but they're evidently not good at allocating money. I remember hearing they handed a sack of money to a contractor upfront with no strings attached.
