I will never understand how EA went from the game company everyone knew and quoted with that "Its in the game!" slogan to a laughing stock and poster child of shitty studios.

Capitalism. It corrupts everything eventually.

Sure, I’ll concede that in the beginning you get innovation but we’re not in that place now. They actively stifle it. Look at Hollywood, you don’t see mid budget movies anymore and nobody wants to take a risk on a creative endeavour if they can make X-Men 66.

Dune part 2 just came out and is a highly creative endeavor.

Edit: If you all don't think that the version of the Dune world these movies created isn't immensely creative and unique then you are stuck up snob. Especially part 2.

It is a sequel to a remake of a remake of an imitation of a Jodorowsky book.

I think you meant a Frank Herbert book. Jodorowsky had nothing to do with it other than being attached to a different adaptation that never made it off the ground.

We're talking about movies.

I claimed Steven Lynch's film was an imitation of a Jodorowsky book and I meant it.

I claimed Steven Lynch's film...

finger to ear

I'm being told his name is David.

Steven Lynch makes songs Kazaa labels "Weird Al".

What’s creative about it? The silly walk they invented? The ‘fuck tonality’ music they came up with? Shiny blue eyes? Sand?

Sand?

I think that's it. And a bucket, too
