Hollywood budgets are insane these days.
I watched Godzilla -1. That movie was fucking boss, and apparently its budget was only $15 million. That's less than they spent removing the CGI buttholes from Cats.

Forgive my ignorance, but did they make CGI buttholes, then remove them before it premiered?

βWe went to call our supervisor, and weβre like, βThereβs a f--king a--hole in there! Thereβs buttholes!ββ
There was a rumor to that effect, yes. But I think it was mostly a meme π

Crazy that they spent that much on marketing and I still had no idea that movie was coming until I read articles about how badly it bombed. Did they blow the marketing budget on hookers and blow and call it good?? What the hell happened here?!
I thoroughly enjoyed the Last of Us series. I do hope it ends where it is now, but it was some very good TV writing and acting.
Because the show writers are the same that wrote the game, last of us has a very strong advantage. They can't deviate from the plot and key elements because they are too invested in it. But they can change what they feel like is weaker, or wouldn't work as well in a show format. And its really noticable if you played both the game and the show. They've discussed how they already planned it to be a two season series, but they also mentioned if they have enough inspiration and they can figure out a way to make a third season that stays within the spirit of the story line, and they honestly enjoy it then they will.
With the first season being as good as it was, I have complete and utter faith in them.

Uncharted was good too. Street Fighter is campy, but fun.
Yes. Although I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't called Uncharted.
You probably wouldn't have heard or watched it. So many movies get made with lukewarm everything and nobody watches. Being uncharted got people to pay attention unfortunately
Tom Holland is a pretty big draw. I think he might have carried the marketing. But you're probably right. The Uncharted name automatically gets everyone who enjoyed the video game. I never played the game, so I didn't have any expectations, but I knew about the movie because my wife played the game, and the title caught her attention.
Tom Holland was good, but Marky Mark was a big βmehβ.
And the end action set piece was too over the top bonkers for my taste
Marky Mark is always kind of meh in everything except for The Italian Job, and The Departed. I haven't heard anyone call him Marky Mark in years! Haha. You must be my age.
Would Valve allow an aperture science/black mesa film?
Iβve wanted this so badly for years
That could be so good
And I guarantee if Valve allowed it, they'd be involved enough to make sure it didn't suck
Why would you guarantee that?
I never realized any of those were movies.
There was a Borderlands movie?
No, and let's keep it that way!
The FNAF movie is actually not that bad. It surely isn't masterpiece, but its good movie and also understandable for someone who barely knows anything about fnaf.
I still think The Banana Splits is a better movie, though.
I donβt think the movie was that bad. Sure was predictable, but it was fun.
