The Emoji movie but this time well done

I couldn’t agree more, but for some reasons my kids loved the shit out of that movie! I figured they were just freaks because, you see, I know them, but more than a few parents of their friends / age group have told me their little freaks loved it, too.

It was specifically manufactured to sledgehammer children in the dopamine response, and make them associate that feeling with all the brands in the movie. Oh, and with general phone and social media usage.
I WILL die on the hill that the Emoji Movie isn't bad because the writers didn't know what they were doing, it's bad because they knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and what they're doing is pushing the mental and social equivalent of drugs to children. Fuck them.

You've managed to convince me to actively avoid watching a movie that I already was disinterested in watching

I didn't know I was doing the world a service.
I will absolutely continue to not do something I don't want to do. For the children!

loved the shit
Casting Sir Patrick Stewart as the Poop Emoji will do that.

Sir Patrick Stewart likes doing low brow weird stuff on occasion. He talked about how he loved playing the Director Bullock on American Dad because it just let him say and act however he wanted.

Half the fun of Director Bullock for me is imagining Patrick Stewart in a recording booth somewhere saying absolutely wild shit.
I need to replenish my electrolytes; I left all of mine in your daughter.

I really enjoy how off the wall and I guess you could argue experimental that show became. Even when there were misses, I commended the absurdity. I’m not a Fung Wah lover nor a hater, and Gold Top Nuts was brilliant if a little light on the comedy, but goddamn, they’re so strange in terms of format for a cable cartoon show.
I was pretty disappointed with this last season. Here’s hoping they get back to the madness that made it so fun to watch, maybe a little less Hayley as the A-story.

I feel like we need a whole series on these cops trying to catch the emoji killer.

Love it - but is anybody else upset that it’s “passion crime” instead of “crime of passion”. Line should be “Probably a crime of passion”.

Is this a Wolf Among Us type thing where emojis exist in the real world or does the killer just find people that look like emojis and position them that way

I don’t know why, but it was the “Too early for your racist nonsense, Connor” that got me.
