Yes


Good. You were worrying me. Hope your day is going well. Or at least better than the Borderlands movie.

Because that's literally his job and brand... to make kids/funny movies. Why are there are more game movies...maybe because its the latest trend... Who cares

Next thread. Hey guys I just noticed this particular fish swimming in a different spot in the same lake. Why do you think it started swimming here more ofter as opposed over there?


Actually I have to apologize, Mario Bros, Miinecraft and Borderlands weren't an Arcade game or recognized as Arcade games in my day, so Jack Black or Tom, Dick or Harry Smith could have played the roles and I would never have known or watched them... now if it was Donkey Kong, Pac Man, Space Invaders, Galaxy Raiders, Lady Bug, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct or Rygar... maybe it would have made a difference. So I have to take back what I said and just add in this:

School of Rock was Awesome, any other movie he participated in prior or later did not make an impact on my point of view, and these so called "Game" movies are just pathetic... I mean B Grade movies like Mortal Kombat are better... just my opinion right?

Also... the producers of those games, or writers etc are ??? (not going to get banned for what I want to write in this post on this forum).

I noticed Jack Black has picked up several movies that are video game adaptations lately. Video game adaptation movies aren’t unheard of of course but they aren’t super common either with only usually 1-2 (at most) made a year on average. Do you think he’s aiming for them for some reason? I mean … Super Mario Bros , Borderlands & Minecraft in a relatively short span. Or do you think it’s just so happens 3 roles he likes popped up that just happened to be vide game based?


He is aiming for the payday

It's a crime he was cast for claptrap instead of the actual voice actor.

Which one? The company fucked over the OG voice actor after TPS.

The worst day of my life is still better than that movie

It’s devastating that we will never get another piece of borderlands media outside of the games because of it

I can count on one hand the number of “good” video game inspired movies. May not even need the whole hand.

Your explanation just means that 0 video inspired movies were made... so what is your point? Remember, a hand have 5 extremities to count, the palm or hand does not count... thus 0 since it removes all extremities.
