re: Has there ever been a worse concept for a movie than "The Emoji Movie"?

Iron Man 3.


The Mandarin? Drunken British Actor.

Iron Man? Not in it.

Tony Stark? Literally cries the whole time.

Pepper Pots? Ms. Human Torch

Jesus you're an angry person. The movies gonna suck. Don't see it. End of story.

Your vendetta against this movie is quite fun to watch

It'll probably be shitty, and i won't watch it, but it's a pretty smart concept

Smart as is it targets its audience well and will put people in the seats to watch it (kids). Whether you like it or not Emojis are a huge part of pop culture right now. They are just leveraging that for a box office score. It's a good business strategy

I'm pretty sure I'm going to rip this movie once it comes out online without paying a cent and do an in-game thread. I do see this as a public service to this board.

But judging from the trailers, it undermines the entire point of Emojis. So the Emoji world is one where you can't freely express yourself? What are you talking about? That's the only thing Emojis are for.. that and hitting on chicks.

And what a joke of a job. You only have to make a face for a single frame? If you can't do that, you literally too incompetent to do anything in life.

Also Emojis are utterly pointless. What would change if I couldn't use this and had to use lol instead? Nothing.

This movie has no purpose but to rip off everything that competent movie makers have done and celebrating the decline of our society as a whole. I don't see how a movie can possibly champion spending all of your time on your phone doing bullshite instead of actually living in the real world.

You may think I'm unfair here, since the Lego Movie and Wreck It Ralph exist, but Wreck It Ralph was never really about how video games fit into society as a whole and just more a celebration of them with tons of clever puns; as for the Lego Movie, Legos are all about creativity, and they make the film all about that and tie it brilliantly into a story that a kid with father issues would actually come up with when playing with them. What mindblowing creativity are we getting out of the Emoji Movie? An elephant farting? Great stuff there.

And you may be thinking that they're going this route with the Emoji Movie, but no they're going with the Inside Out route where they literally dramatically affect the users lives and how this is a big fricking deal. It is so fricking hollow compared to Inside Out or Toy Story to the point where 7 year olds will ridicule it.

I am begging parents, please do not take your kids to the theater to see this piece of recycled garbage that Ali G would propose as a movie. Redbox it in November and give bullshite excuses to your kids on why you can't take them to see it.

Looks better than Coco IMHO.

They always have been. Emoji movie isn't the strongest case for it either

Only everything. Sheesh.

I never make mental notations about who I hate on TD. You, on the other hand, are definitely the exception. Every post I read of yours I see a crying whiny child.
