You (foolish): oh nooooooooooo, this sucks. I hate Monopoly and this is gonna suck
Monopoly movie opening scene: Since the beginning of society, since the first little laborers ever existed, there have been class struggles. But the class struggles were always and forever primitive communism. The laborers who engaged in struggle could only ever demand concessions from capitalists. Which can be progress, at least for a while anyway... (ask the 8 hour work day). Monopolies continued until...
it just smash cuts to 13:21
btw have we not had a hexbear East is Red watch party? We need to
Damn these executives really think Margot Robbie and famous IP were the sole reason the film did so well. I’m jealous that they make as much as they do to sit on their ass and say stupid shit all day.
They're counting on the fact that it doesn't matter if the film is bad because her recognisability will sell anything remotely similar after Barbie.
I hope it's just a 9.5 hr movie of a group of friends playing Monopoly in real-time. And the entire story is the groups' past trauma told through everyone raging at each other as they're forced to play this awful game.
I know this won't happen because this is an actually good idea
I would watch the shit out of that. YouTube broke the limiter on the length of content I will consume in a sitting.
This inspired me to create a TV series that follows along with some friends playing “Campaign for North Africa”. It will be known as the only show with more episodes than One Piece.
It was originally called the Landlord Game and was created by a woman who wanted to demonstrate the evils of hoarding land. It was later bought and sold without that message. I wish I could wonder how much of the original messaging will show up.
It's just annoying given the way reactionary nerds moan about historical accuracy except in cases like this where they'll put out video essays about wokeness in this movie because the cast isn't all straight white people.
Additionally, there were two ways to play, and the point was to notice how slow infrastructure development was when you played the 'capitalist' way, which is the way that the game was marketed. The frustration and 9.5 hour runtime is literally intentional.
The game spread through Quaker neighborhoods which developed it. Who wants to bet that the most they will get mentioned is an "easter egg" of a sterotypical quaker like the quaker oats mascot?
I hope she stars in the hit film "Hungry Hungry Hippos" too
It's going to offer the most lukewarm "criticism" of capitalism while also appealing to milquetoast liberals.
I can't wait to read the novelization for the movie adaptation to Go Fish! starring Jim "from The Office" Kasinski, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Emily "I let Jim from The Office bust in me" Blunt.
I heard the 4 page treatment was greenlit for a $250 million budget with James Cameron attached to direct.
"I just want a love like Jim and Pam 😍"
Inappropriately creeps on her at work while she's in another relationship only to win her over and then take her for granted while she raises both of their kids.
He gets tired of the suburban rat race and leaves his family to join the CIA and engage in regime change in Venezuela
CIA Jim is too busy franchising his shitty horror movie to do anything else
she will play the battle ship, and timothee chalamet will be the thimble
At least Barbie made sense and had some good feminist messaging. This is what it looks like when people who make stuff don't pay attention to what people like about what was made.
"Hey! People like movies about toys! Let's make more!"
My age cohort has never not been about revisiting our childhoods. Hipster restaurants serving tv dinners on tv trays, 80s nights and covers, reboots of all the shows except Alf, we eat that shit up. I think you massively inflate the influence of the plot of Barbie on its success -- so many people were guaranteed fans from the title alone, even more from title + casting. The toy thing is a gold mine. They will use it to print money for at least a decade. Sorry! will come out in July 2027.
Monopoly the game was a harsh criticism of capitalism. This movie could be great.
The devil (Hollywood) cannot create, only immitate
I would rather see Fortnite The Movie
Sorry guys, I willed this one into existence. I was talking about the potential a Monopoly movie could have just the other day. I even compared it to the Sims movie.
can't wait to buy the funkopops for Mouse Trap
