This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I know the answer is money, trumptard. The thing is the movies aren't even making major profit anymore, and they still shit more out.

$600 million in two weeks isn't bad money.

I took the kids. They enjoyed it even though most of the enjoyment was from laughing at how stupid it was. As a positive, the bugs were suitably creepy.

It is crazy that they got the Apple CEO Tim Cook to play himself in the movie.

This movie does have the required Diversity insert character: a WOC whose personality is "good at everything" and whose only motivation is "I am a woman therefore I care." What is obvious, though, is that there was a black dude from the first JW movie (Barry played by Omar Sy) who disappears from this film one scene before the new black woman character takes over. So it is clear that they just took Barry's role in the film and substituted the "more diverse" character in his place. A real shame since Omar has 10x the charisma of the actress that replaced him.

I saw Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

I found it overly woke, and I nearly quit about halfway through, but I finished it and I didn't hate it. Didn't love it either, though.

Some of the bits were neat, like they way they worked in some cameos from Marvel properties that haven't been officially added to the mainline MCU canon yet.

I found it too much of a horror movie for my tastes, though, and I think it should have gotten an R rating.

It should have R-rating and be like umphed in horror 200%.

Sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife has a release date in late December of 2023.

To be set back in New York City in the firehouse.

Cautious optimism. Cut the treacle a bit this time and give us a new villain.

Hope they did a little more work on the script this time. Afterlife had its heart in the right place, but it needed to give the supporting cast their own stories too.

Also, try adding some jokes.

Add Kevin from the 2016 film. Add nothing else from that film.

This is about a movie every gamer should see, somone here should get it.

an audience learns it's dark tales.

You got it.

I'm surprised you got it and a forum for hardcore movie fans didnt. But I knew this was a gamer's movie..

Have I given my theory about why Kevin was the only funny thing in that movie? It may be somewhere up-thread already.

I think it's in "Superman is gay." Saw that in a search for Kevin and Ghostbusters. (Didn't want to manually search up-thread, but was curious.)
