I can't tell you how many times I think of an amusing idea only to remember that it already exists.

[–] ZOSTED@sh.itjust.works 25 points 10 months ago

This is the most judgey comma I've seen in a while. Very well done

In one of the newer jumanji movies the kids that get trapped in the game are played by jack black/dwayne Johnson/kevin hart.

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

Yes, thanks. For some reason I can't edit that right now.

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)
  1. It's not the whole franchise, so that's not entirely accurate, and 2. the movie they're referencing was the weakest of all the Jumanji cash-grabs (funded in no small part by Hart & Johnson), so there's little likelihood that anyone would complain — Besides, it's the fuckin' Muppets! Let's go-o-o-o!
[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait, but the new jumanji beats Zathura by a long shot, both pale to original jumanji.

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Every bullshit attempt after the Robin Williams classic isn't worth being referred to as a Jumanji movie. Case closed.

[–] drphungky@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Whoa whoa whoa - the Jumanji reboot was excellent. It's still a kids movie, but Jack Black was amazing, and even Kevin "Homophobe" Hart showed some chops. And the Rock and Karen Gilliam are both good as always.

Yes, it's a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia, but everything now is a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia. At least they updated the board game idea to have fun 80s video game call backs and tried their best for a good script and good acting. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sounds like Drunk Muppet History to me. Why not?

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

My immediate thought too

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 69 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Miss Piggy would definitely call it a Boarbarian, however.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 67 points 10 months ago (3 children)

“Kermit the Bard here…”

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

I heard that. 🥰

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I now really want to see a version of Rainbow Connection but with more YABOGABI

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

I do hope she makes a CR ref with "I... would like... to... rrrRRA-A-AGE!!"

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago (2 children)

My favorite is when you have a great serious performance with Muppets as the costars like Michael Cain in the Muppets Christmas Carol

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 23 points 10 months ago

I watched that on Christmas solely for how straight Michael Caine plays it in a fuckin Muppet movie ❤️

[–] Vagabondshad@ttrpg.network 19 points 10 months ago

As I've seen before, there's only 2 best ways to act alongside Muppets:

  1. Michael Cain method- they are the same as human costars and I will play this as seriously as a car wreck

Or

  1. Tim Curry method- this is a muppet film and I will act like I myself am a muppet, no silliness is too silly

I envision this as something Community would have pulled off if the rights were in place. I miss that show...

[–] Uglyhead@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I miss the banned episode

Chang is the asshole of all assholes on that series and shows up in Dark Elf makeup… https://youtu.be/dk4eT5huZxc?si=hjxQTnxlhyVt75_L Because of course he did.

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If you like the "cutting back and forth between table and in-game" part, the Gamers series by Zombie Orpheus Entertainment would be right up your alley. Particularly "Dorkness Rising," easily the most quotable film in the set.

"sigh My, what fine yet rustic architecture. I will examine it more closely."

"Hide behind the mound of dead bards!"

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"How much experience do I get for the farmer?"

[–] Mastema@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago

Total Waffle!

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is the second time in the last week I've been told I should watch this series.

I think it's a sign

[–] Qwaffle_waffle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Roll for perception of obvious signs.

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

OOOOOHHHHHH FFFFFUMBLE!

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Its my hope in 5 to 10 years this will be enough of a prompt for ai to make you a movie.

It will be good for about 3 to 5 years, then all the streaming services left will bring out an AI tier subscription and Aiflix will lose prominence as functionality is the new copyright not content

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Basically kinda like Drunk History.

[–] Thassodar@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

I used to get baked and put that show on back to back while cleaning my room. Great stuff, sad it's gone.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 10 points 10 months ago

Drunk history vibes. I can dig it. 👍

[–] Talaraine@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago

I love everything about this.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Disney owns the Muppets, so...

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I'd watch it

[–] ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

The world would be a better place if we could all see through Kenneth’s eyes.

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Due to the way writing credits work, how writers get paid, etc., posting this in public pretty much guarantees that it won't get made. Studios are very adverse to risks of lawsuits, about, say, "Studio X stole an idea that I had for a film, and didn't credit or pay me".

If you think you've got a great idea, for fuck sake, write up a script, get an agent, and shop it around. Don't post it online.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

You bully the license and copyright lawyers first.

[–] k48r@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How high was the person who thought of this

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Excuse me, but you can't be voiced by a muppet.

[–] sirblastalot@ttrpg.network 18 points 10 months ago

Not with that attitude

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Reminds me of Amphibians & Anthropomorphisms, though that's humans roleplaying as muppets.
