Borderlands. How did they spend that much money and none of the decision makers stop and think "nope this is crap"

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Still have to see it. I'm in no rush, but since I am a Borderlands fan, I have to know.

It’s really bad. Like, nearly unwatchable.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I've seen far worse movies, movies that are truly unwatchable.

I know nothing about the source material and I get the impression that's the difference here between those who think this is a terrible movie instead of just another mediocre comic book movie. As someone who had never read comics, they're all equally meh to me but I wouldn't call any of them unwatchable.

Fair enough. It’s one of my favorite games, because I played it through with my best friend right before he passed away in an accident, so it’s really emotionally valuable to me. Seeing what they did with the movie was pretty offensive in that regard, to me.

Oh God. Im looking forward to hating it!

then watch it?

Are you familiar with Edward 40-Hands?

Participants have a 40oz of Steel Reserve (or similar) duct taped to each hand. You may not remove the bottles until both are empty. The tradition is to watch old kung fu movies but this movie is absolutely acceptable. I advise wearing gym shorts; you WILL need to piss before you are done.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 hours ago

LOL I can't say if I have ever had more then a sip of a Steel Reserve. One of my best friends growing up developed a bad case of alcoholism and he drank those things religiously. I would rather just smoke some weed and get a little buzz then fucked up drunk like those are guaranteed to do !
