This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I hate that I can visualize this greentext so easily.

The fact that they show a Dark Souls poster and proceed to describe an Elden ring movie is very funny. Like the producers don't know the difference.

they'd be proud of the fact that they never played video games, let alone the source material.

look at interviews surrounding halo paramount, "we want to tell our own story in this setting" then proceeds to make garbage that actively disrespects the source.

“We didn’t look at the game. We didn’t talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world. So I never felt limited by it being a game.”

The quote is amazing.

that's an even better quote than the one I remembered

I absolutely hate this, but can't deny that it's accurate

Sweet baby Jesus I can see this whole thing in my head every time I read it, these previews are so cookie cutter it's insane

They already created this game.

It was called Brutal Legend

It was quite good.

That was unfortunately a Jack Black of a different era. This one abandons his lifelong friend to be as hollywood safe as possible for saying meanie-bobeanie things about trump (as a comedian on a stage that is known for political jokes)

Yup. Most that you can fault it for, is the mechanics later in the game, which try to teach you how to play multiplayer, getting too repetetive.

Because of course the game had PvP battling with music stages as bases.

I think the main issue people had was it had lot of RTS sections further in.

They weren't actually that bad, but the demo gave no clue that the main chunk of gameplay was going to be running around issuing orders rather than the basic heavy metal themed hack-and-slash it pretended to be.

Movie is called Dark Souls, plot is Elden Ring. Hollywood on par for the course.

zoom in on Schnieder doing a goofy face while wearing a red baseball cap as a slide whistle plays and he says "Who's afraid of the big, bad gays?"

Final shot is Jack Black clumsily wading through a poison swamp, “not again!”

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

The swamp itself farts with every green bubble that boils and pops on the surface.

Tbh, i'd love a dark souls movie with Jack Black and Nick Cage.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Jack Black as Solaire would work. I can see the jolly cooperation now

[–] [email protected] 33 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And a shaven Adam Sandler as patches. This would truly be an awful film. I’d see it. Not in theaters, certainly. Not even my own streaming subscription. But eventually I’ll be on someone’s couch and exactly drunk enough to dare them to put it on.

This is how I ended up seeing Sonic 3.

Did I enjoy Jim Carrey? Yes, very much so.
Do I want to go back and see Sonic 2, which I completely missed? No.

Well, I know people would watch it.

I did not watch the Minecraft movie myself, no desire to experience a full theater of people throwing popcorn around screaming chicken jockey.

Movie industry is fucked.

Just a matter of time until this trailer gets made. I remember the Oppenheimer one and now that we've got the AI trailers, you don't even need an actual movie to use as source material this time.

I wish “The Studio” was ballsy enough to do an episode about this exactly.
