Who is this movie even for?

Who is this movie even for?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

...

The existence of this movie really made me think what is life anymore.

stupid people

like the execs at Sony

Well done

reddit

...

I hope my favorite emoji appears

>This whole film's existence feels straight of a joke you'd see in the Simpson's making fun of corporate hollywood
>except it's real

Ideally, for people who use emojis on a regular basis (i.e. out of touch 40+ year olds, millennials, and post-millennials on social media).
In reality, no one is going to want to waste their fucking money on this trash other than adults with really bored children.

What was the plot of this movie again? It seems like a rather cruel picture of the world, that you find yourself only to be stuck permanently in one emotion...

>imagine a pic related from psycho-pass on "serenity" and eu-stress deficiency

True patricians

>40+ year olds
>Millenials

Didn't you just list everyone 21 or older?

Why did we do this shit in the West when Japan already had endless text emojis to choose from?

Millennials, it's gonna be a 3/10 movie and will be forgotten in a couple of weeks by everybody except for a few autists, whose hate towards it will keep it relevant for a month more maybe.

People born from a time long distant, yet so near

8-15 year olds probably

I don't understand your post. Are you saying that people 40 and over are millennials?

No, I'm saying people 21-36 are millenials, and you listed 40+

Exlcuding 37-39, you pretty much just listed everyone 21 and older

It's like a project created by a marketing algorithm with no humans involved.

>Genndy's Popeye and Lauren's Medusa were shelved for this
>This will make more money than Kubo, Book of Life, and probably MLP

how did you emoji filename wtf

...

Put an emoji when it asks you to name the pic, easy as that

Here's another example

user, that's how it works, as much as it sucks we are no longer the target audience. I'm just happy we are getting a few shows back for one last shot to glory.

When the fuck did emoticons become emojis?

It was made to directly compete with Wreck it Ralph 2 which is another film about personifying the internet that is coming around the same time.

My guess is they heard the rumors and Sony quickly tried to cash in as well, making another Bugs Life/Antz scenario.

Blame the Japs.

Korea

This is blowing my mind

I saw an ad for this with my great-grandmother and she gave me 75 cents to watch it on my birthday. What the fuck do I do? Hope she forgets?

Just tell her that you don't want to watch that movie

fpbp

Nigga, what the fuck is that unruly bullshit? Does Reddit do this ironically? Are they just pretending to be retarded?

up next:
the meme movie

Emoticons >>>>>>>>>>> Emojis

This is the first time I've seen a movie a really wondered if I've gone completely out of the circle.

Is this how my dad looked at shrek or monsters inc when he took me to see them as a kid?

I mean, when I see a 'Trolls' or 'The Smurfs' come out I think

>This is targeted at kids, kids understand little monsters and cute animals

But this. I just don't know. Is it kids? Is it teens? Tweens? The fuck is even a tween? I swear that word just materialized out of nowhere one day.

If someone can tell me who this movie is for I'd be very grateful.

It's a stupid movie that's going to be shitty and probably not going to make a lot of money. It smells like a box office bomb.

Heh. I read that comment on YouTube.

Movie executives who see the average american as a brainless, soulless, walking wallet.

>Saw the trailer in theater packed wall-to-wall with families
>Nobody laughed once

wtf I read it on Tumblr

I can't wait for Coupon the Movie.

>"Warm and mandatory."

This

changes

EVERYTHIIIIIING

Every time I think that about a movie it ends up grossing 300+Million.

Fucking Smurfs, Lorax, Hotel Transylvania, Trolls-

Fucking trolls man. Trolls, in CURRENT YEAR made 344 million dollars. Trolls. TROLLS. I no longer have any hope for this shit.

About ten years ago, when iPhones started getting big

>Popeye done by Genndy shelved for Emoji Movie
>new Samurai Jack season and it's fucking great
>if Genndy had been working on Popeye, he might not have had that chance to make SJ season 5

Popeye movie died so that Jack s5 could live.
Now the real question my friends
Do you think it was worth the cost?

>Trump is president of the US
>Drinking age in US is 21
>UK signs article 50 and threatens war over fucking Gibraltar, that voted to remain for obvious reasons
>Wikileaks basically belongs to Russia now
>Everyone is pretending that climate change doesn't exist AND that coal is a good way of creating electricity
>The Bible belt has learnt how to use the internet
>China hasn't had it's democratic revolution yet
>Taiwan and Hong Kong are probably going to be 'reabsorbed'
>Australia is a burning purgatory turning into a burning hell
>Liberal is an insult; 'one who stands for freedom' is literally an insult
>Rick and Morty and Samurai Jack are deemed dangerously memey/liberal by this board; shows where random shit is said to prove how terrible the characters are, and another where 5 women just died extremely brutal deaths by the protagonist
>The best protege of a superhero is in a westaboo's wetdream manga; everyone else is either undeveloped or literally kissing, living with and beating up the same people their previous iteration did.
>The ghost in the shell movie is western, and the FMA movie is Japanese
>There's still no fucking Discworld cartoon that hasn't aged poorly; I want my Sam Vimes dammit.

This is the Black Mirror timeline.

Yeah, probably.

Lets be honest, pop eye would of been medium at best.

omg it works

Yeah.
Adult Swim has a lot of things wrong with it but one of the best things it does do is that's one of the closest thing you can get into that allow for full creator control.

Sony in comparison are absolute control freaks and must have everything group tested and agreed by committee. If Genndy did decide to play ball with Popeye it still wouldn't be his true vision and would've been butchered by executives through the whole development.

Memes are hate crimes now. They're way too problematic to market.

XD

I think if we're already imagining an alternate reality where Sony wasn't so up its own ass and sabotaging their best talent, we might as well keep going and imagine that they'd let him make the movie he envisioned and not run it into the ground.

not to mention a LOT of memes come from other sources

Pepe for instance, is an owned character. You'd need to pay the person to use him.
Plenty of memes are based on real people and you'd need to pay to use their likeness.

You'd have to get so many different original owners to agree to it that Wreck-it-Ralph's villain party would be nothing

That is actually a really good answer. I wasn't considering Sony's being an asshole and messing with the movie.

>Sony
>Not running things into the ground
I'm pretty sure it's a scientific law that Sony, will and will always, run things into the ground.

I wonder how hard this will bomb.

I have to make stops while reading. I bet that kids and teenagers who write these can read it just fine in one go

I hope it bombs so hard that the Japanese haven't felt a bomb this big since Nagasaki.

normalfags fucking LOVE emojis
It wont bomb

True, but a fucking MOVIE about emojis? Even normalfags need to have some kind of ceiling when it comes to how much cancer they can tolerate.

Don't Americans feel bad when their corporations take innocent things from foreign countries and turn them into some sort of horrfying abominations for the sake of profit?

toddlers
they love emojis because their parents give them their phone

look at the dislike ratio on the later CoD games
They still sell a lot

yes. they hate that shit, and they typically do that when they're subjected to some cringy emote shit.

Toddlers don't buy tickets and I doubt their parents will

Redditors typically hate it. They usually only do it to be ironic.

NASA Rocket Nuke Probe >>> 8=======D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Shrek had adult appeal though, it had everything from wrestling to making fun of Disney.

>allowed to use this emoticon
>usage of lenny gets an automatic spam notice
Fuck you too moot

same category as trolls and all the movies with puppies on the poster. it's for kids who manage to drag parents to shit like this, and women/fags who like "cute shit happens" the movie.

who?

>normalfags need to have some kind of ceiling when it comes to how much cancer they can tolerate
HAHAHA

For normies and mass, autistic audienences

Why do you want to use Lenny so bad?

feel free to post that one on reddit

Щ(ಠ益ಠЩ)

Considering millennials started being born in 1982, and post-millennials are still being born, I guess the only people who won't like the movie are 35-39 year olds.

I have a hard time imagining kids going;
>"Mom! Dad! I wanna go see the emoji movie!"
nor teens going;
>"Woah dude, we should go see that emoji film"
nor adults saying;
>"Aw man, I remember emojis back in the good old msn day. Back then we used to make our custom one in ms paint! Sure can't wait to see this movie."

I fucking hope this movie bombs

Orwell was right again

Drunk retarded fetuses with brain damage

No real need for a meme movie, we've already skipped it and have meme porn parody videos.

it sounds like you are out of touch with kids, they are all over this shit. Stores are filled with emoji merch in everything from toy isles to furniture

Teens will see it ironically

Parents will see it by taking the other two groups, and anyone under 30 also "hate watches" movies without realizing that just gives the movie revenue (this is a pretty big trend)

>Emojis are technically made by Apple so other equivalents by other companies aren't actually Emojis
>Apple also made the iPhone
>there might be an iPhone movie eventually if Hollywood runs out of ideas
>AiPhone: The iPhone Movie
>live-action this time but also based on (read: ripped off from) a meme
>this time, it's a ripoff of a certain copypasta about a story involving cellphones which spawned from Sup Forums
>pandering not only to millennials but also to Asians and weebs but they still whitewash everything
>it will be nothing but Apple product placements, millennial pandering, meme spouting and ripping off a certain meme from Sup Forums as well as ripping off every Makoto Shinkai movie along the way

Just kill me now if my prediction of an iPhone movie ever becomes a real thing.

Trolls were suprisingly well made movie with great visuals and good story to tell.

>Trolls were suprisingly well made movie with great visuals and good story to tell.
I'll give you good visuals, hell, they were amazing
But branch going back to being happy and losing his individuality because of muh romance is weak storytelling and felt really fucking forced
It also had way too many fart jokes to call its writing or story good

bread & circuses m8

Reminder that Based Genndy Tarkovsky's Popeye movie was shelved in favor of this monstrosity

>yfw this movie is actually great

Huxley was more accurate. The government isn't fucking us, we're fucking ourselves.

>Put an emoji when it asks you to name the pic
So it's the result of cancerous phoneposters? good to know I can dismiss all your posts from now on with more accuracy than double line jumping detection.

>The fuck is even a tween?
It means 'in between'. Since kids are absolute shitheaps from 10 and up, they needed a word for them being piles of fuck from 10 to 14 before they could be conveniently written off as teenagers.

I like to think that the world they made used to be populated by old school keyboard emojis but eventually they were all killed off as the modern ones came in and colonized they land just rapin' and pillaging

Please, please, please kill yourself.
I don't want to know your on this site shitting it up

>mfw I'm on my desktop

Consider uncontrolled bloodletting desu.

I way I see is that the only chance this movie has to be any good is if it's some kind of self aware comedy that pokes fun at the target audience corporate studios and the app generation but I highly doubt that will be the case

which os
