Gritty, raw UNO movie coming soon

UNO, but it's a Yu-Gi-Oh style anime movie.

Daniel Kaluuya is starring in a Barney movie and I'm not even joking.

And apparently it is adult-themed and explores millennial angst and disenchantment, because reasons. Yes, really.

Damn, it could work.

They should raid my GF's toybox. It'll keep them busy for years.

This is perhaps bad news for Lena Dunham, whom Mattel has lined up to helm “Polly Pocket.”

Kill it with fire

Sorry, not wearing my sarcasm detector at the moment…you do know there are already two MOTU movies…?

Wow, that animated movie is just the first 5 episodes of She Ra stitched together which already ran on TV? That’s some evil shit.

I was gonna post a rant railing against this obvious money-grab (shilling, product placement, half the budget is marketing/promotion blah blah blah) when, utilizing my encyclopedic memory of the moving image, I realized this type of "cinema" is nothing new. The only real difference is that now it is no longer an afterthought but an integral part of the plan, an efficient, organized, concerted cross-media marketing ploy. It's not meta, it's nostalgia rationalization; it's not smart, it's calculated.

Brand immersion my ass.

I think your timing's off. You might have made big money pitching that idea 10-20 years ago. The Micronauts Movie! Action Jackson: 8" of Dynamite!

Fairly satisfied that somebody understands!
