Ashnflash Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 This is the worst, and stupidest movie of all time right? Like what they heck are they thinking.... I'm bringing this up because they some how managed to bring on an A list actor... That's right Sir Patrick Stewart will be playing the Poop Emoji... From Professor X to Professor Poop what is he thinking.... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/patrick-stewart-voice-poop-emoji-emoji-movie-965588 I hate this movie with such a passion Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah, that movie looks stupid! Have you seen this? Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I can't believe anybody actually thought this was a good idea for a movie. Quote

Loki Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Since it's coming out in August, and looks particularly terrible, I ended up daring my girlfriend to go watch it with me while BFVA is going on at some point. If nothing else, it'll be a memory of its own. Quote
Leo604 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 This is one of those social trends the pop culture industry should have never been able to think up a movie for. Quote

Metaphorically I will have lost all hope in Hollywood if something like that happens. Quote
BaneShake Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Every time I see emoji anythings, be it merch or this movie, I feel like it's a bunch of older-middle aged marketers desperately trying to appeal to a younger generation they don't really grasp. It pains me so badly. Quote

He has been doing a lot of off beat commercials lately too. Maybe since he really hasn't had a job in Star Trek in years, and only does work on X-Men occasionally he was happy for the chance to make quick money! Who am I kidding, still looks like an awful movie... Quote

Oh, I'm aware of the power of the almighty dollar...I just thought, without knowing him personally, that he wouldn't stoop to such a low(and I mean LOW) just for money. Especially to play poop...

Kintobor Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 "It's my pleasure to announce our first movie." -Meh Emoji I mean, do the Sony executives seriously have the gaul to honestly believe that they're hit a gold mine that will secure them a movie franchise that will last them until the end of time? I haven't seen this amount of self assuredness since Pokemon: The First Movie! This movie won't bomb. It'll make it's money, because emojis, those little icons you use on social media to help convey tone, are apparently all the rage with kids. The poop emoji has slippers and a hat so it looks like your wearing a swirly piece of dog feces with a face on you noggin. There's also little plushies for the faces as well. I mean, I don't see the appeal at all of surrounding oneself with actual poop, but somehow marketers managed to do it. That's not saying the film will be good, but bad movies do make their money back. Look at the Smurfs, or Alvin and the Chipmunks. This is obviously fallout from The Lego Movie being successful: take some product without any real sense of a narrative and slap "The Movie" onto it. That's not saying it can't work. The thing with The Lego Movie is that it was actually an excellent movie. Quote

I haven't seen this amount of self assuredness since Pokemon: The First Movie! They definitely do. There was a bidding war for the rights to this movie. It was Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. and Sony. Sony was the one that pushed the hardest and wound up coming out on top. I think clearly the merch can sell and that makes sense to me. Like it's cute to get little emoji keychains and little purses. I get that. Being a movie enthusiast, this movie looks like the s*** emoji and I truly hope and pray that this movie will make no money because you can't make a movie around fricking emojis. The only way, THE ONLY WAY is if you go the Wreck it Ralph root and the Emoji's leave their app and go to other popular apps like Candy Crush or Temple Run etc. If it's that.... Maybe.... But it's still unoriginal. Quote

No doubt that's why they've been suddenly acquiring IPs like Ghostbusters and Doctor Who. Quote

Forresto Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Sir Patrick Stewart is voicing the poo emoji...the fact this movie facilitated my ever writing such a statement precipitates my absolute disdain for this film. Quote
