He is definitely one of the 4 main characters. Has there been an episode that he hasn't been in? I don't think so. He is usually at the center of the main plot points and most of the bigger side plots are about him. The only character who has a bigger role in the actual plot has been Richard, and Richard isn't as strong of a comedic character as Erlich.

Yeah, and I think it's in serious contention for "worst movie ever" and is already the worst idea I could possibly think of for a movie: The Emoji Movie

I do love how that trailer ends with them literally admitting this movie is nothing but a pile of shite.


Looked pretty funny to me. I wouldn't pay to see it, but it looks infinitely better than Sausage Party was.

I'm okay with this. He's funny, but story wise, it's getting harder to justify his character being there.

Plus, I genuinely think the greatness of the show comes from the writers, not the actors. Every time I see one of these guys doing an interview and trying to be funny, it's honestly hard to watch.

Its got a decent premise. But with the way that younger kids are getting phones now, it may be a successful movie.

Why would he leave? Is he getting too many movie offers?


I'm not sure it's completely his decision.

I agree but Thomas middleditch (douche that he is) is pretty talented and I could see him carving out a nice career in comedy movies

Jason bateman isn't a movie star or "leading man" in the sense I think you're talking about

TJ Miller has a wider range of potential as a standup comedian and voice actor.
yeah and that's why it is smart for him to move on.

Sausage Party was a great idea, but that concept can't hold up over 90+ minutes. They should have made it a 10 minute short, and it would have been fricking hilarious. But they spoil the punchline long in advance, which is why the trailer itself is much funnier than the film itself.

quote:

It just ripped off Wreck-It Ralph, The Lego Movie, and Inside Out, and took out all the charm out of those universes. There is no charm with emojis themselves, nor any nostalgia to speak of which the previously 3 mentioned thrive and are dependent on.

Plus the entire movie seems to be flawed and directly contradicting what Emojis are; ie avatars for your current emotion. So from the trailer, what's the point in this being unique? Also what are the stakes? Kids have to resort to lol instead of . Oh, the horror.

I really feel bad for the parents that have to take their kids to see this. But Sony hasn't put out a great movie since "American Hustle" (although they should break this with "Baby Driver"), so they don't deserve much benefit of the doubt here.

What do we know about Donald's past life?

1. He went by Donald
2. He painted nails to survive on the streets
3. He was in a boys home
4. He slept with nursing home staff to get his old lady friend accepted

What else?

"Such as" or "give me an example" make no sense as a response to "Looked pretty funny to me."

OK, here's a complete sentence and what I implied: "From the trailer that I posted, give me an example of something that looked funny."

Way to completely change what you posted.

All of it compared to any part of Sausage Party. You said worst movie ever. You set the bar there, which is pretty easy to overcome with movies like Sausage Party in existence.

There's some radical disconnect on what you think I'm posting.

Sausage Party at least had the Giant Douche which was funny, and I think the concept is good for a short. I mean maybe this one can be a short, but certainly not a full length feature.

There isn't. You just don't have a great grasp on how to communicate in English. No biggie.

So at worst it is equal to Sausage Party. So much for worst ever.

OK, so let's stick with emojis then:

I don't see why Sausage Party is a part of this conversation. All that was is a parody of Toy Story, except Food is now the one that is alive and obviously creates a horrifying world. I don't care about Sausage Party at all. It's water under the bridge and they fricked it up.
