New Streaming Service Being "Aggressively" Developed by Noted Entertainment Company... Chick-Fil-A?!Via Anonasaurus Wrecks, all I can think of is some combination of the Star Trek replicators -- where you can download a Chick-Fil-A sandwich --and maybe some Smell-O-Vision technology. Chick-Fil-A thinks it has one advantage to overcome its complete lack of experience in streaming or entertainment, period -- a "family-friendly" brand. Certainly a streamer that appeals to traditionalists, Christians, and normies would have very little competition in the leftwing sewers of current streaming content. But -- hasn't Chick-Fil-A substantially pissed away all of its goodwill among traditionalists and Christians with its endless donations to "Pride" organizations? Well, I guess we'll see. Because Deadline says Chick-Fil-A is serious about "hatching" this scheme and that it will soon come home to roost. They made some puns. I forbid you from following in their terrible example. No chicken or bird puns in this thread! Chick-Fil-A is moving aggressively into the entertainment space with plans to launch a slate of originals for its own streaming platform. No, McDonald's and Burger King could have branded content, but not Chick-Fil-A. Okay that was a dumb pun but no more are allowed. Here are some trailers. I ask the eternal question: Is this something? So we've had 80s nostalgia and then some (but not as much as you'd expect) 90s nostalgia. Now comes a movie with a very specific time-based exploitation: 1999/year 2000 nostalgia, plus a "What if Y2K was a real thing?" Unfortunately, that movie stars Rachel Zegler. Weird, weird! Now I'm rooting for the apocalypse. This is interesting: An anime-styled War of the Rohirrim animated movie. It's the Riders of Rohan, but 260 years before the Lord of the Rings age, when they fought non-magical opponents, the Dunlendings (IIRC). Someone said the Rohirrim are like the Anglo-Saxon Vikings, and the Dunlendings are like the Celts/Britons the Rohirrim conquered. Not sure I want to root for Rohan if that's the case. It's the age of Helm Hammerhand, after whom Helm's Deep is named. I think I've read that Helm Hammerhand was a huge warrior who could punch people to death and who, during sieges, would sneak out alone into the enemy's camp to silently strangle them to death. For some reason... Eowyn is in it? How? The article must be confused about that. I guess they threw in giant elephants and giant eagles because without stuff like that this would be a Medieval fantasy movie without any actual fantasy elements. Caution: Contains a lot of Girlbossing. Sony's next-to-last attempt at making a Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Movies (SPUMM, and that's apparently a real thing) is to once again turn a decent Spider-Man villain into a kewl and edgy anti-hero. This time Kraven the Hunter gets the dubious anti-hero conversion. The trailer really wants you to know This Isn't Your Daddy's SPUMM and features hard-R level violence and gore. And just to make sure it doesn't get too dark and serious, they throw in goofball meatball villain Rhino. I mean, it looks fine, except that it's such a dumb idea. Black Adam looked fine too. (Another villain converted into an anti-hero, that time from DC.) Speaking of converting comic-book villains into anti-heroes: the lost and wandering Marvel Studios is doing the same thing.
I was annoyed by this even with the good movie, The Dark Knight. I wondered, in exasperation: Just how seriously am I supposed to take this Batman vs. Joker movie?! If you want absolute, irrefutable proof that Hollywood is officially out of ideas, Behold! Just kidding, it's a fake. Fight Club author Chuck Pahalnuik did in fact write a Fight Club 2 limited-series comic book in 2015, but this trailer is fake. There is no Fight Club 2 movie. Yet. I do not believe Brad Pitt, David Fincher, or even Edward Norton are so strapped for cash they'd ever turn up for a cash-grab sequel. But who knows. I've heard that Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis is an indulgent, baffling, incoherent mess, and yet wildly ambitious and full of spectacle and things that no other movie has ever done. (There may be reasons for that, though...) I guess Coppola is leaning into that because one of the reviews shown in this trailer is "A beautiful mess."
