Lionsgate wants to milk Twilight more

Yeah.


Isn't the main story supposed to be over after the next movie? Between this and intending to remake American Psycho (which is only 12 years old!) I'm beginning to think Lionsgate wants to be some parody of a Hollywood studio.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.

    The worst part of that article is that it compares Enders Game to Twilight.  >:l

  • AnonusAnonus

    Summit (who bought the movie rights before Lionsgate bought the studio) seemed to see it as some potential successor, anyway.

  • SchitzoSchitzo
    They're somethin' else.

    EEEEEWWWWWW

    That you know it exists is good enough for me.

    Mine eyes have beheld such horrors.



    Also, I know it from this (NSFW)


    Back on topic though, this will probably get made, and that makes me a sad panda.

    Oh, I meant the one where Fluttershy was doing it as an adult. Same artist, though.

    The implication is that Fluttershy is Lionsgate and for some reason that's amusing

    Oh yeah, I've seen that one too.  Got them mixed up.  Again, such horrors, yadda yadda


     


    ^ nooooooooooooooo

    Fluttershy's not an entertainment company, silly.

  • AnonusAnonus

    She should be.


    She'd get to make Mad Men! :P

    Heh, that was a cool Hub ad.

    Hub makes cool ads.  Haven't seen that one, though

  • AnonusAnonus

    This.


    I wrack my brain over whether or not it was the work of Troika Design Group (who has done most of The Hub's design work, including the "Bridlemaids" billboard).

  • Central AvenueCentral Avenue

    Yes, we know, you hate the Bridlemaids billboard.

  • AnonusAnonus

    I was including it because it was relevant to this derail.


    ...some part of me wants to use this thread as an opportunity to play the character of Lionsgate, even though I have no idea what the studio's characterization would be.

    ^ A gate made out of lions?
  • AnonusAnonus

    No, silly. Lionsgate is a lion, like MGM. Sometimes Lionsgate bickers with MGM, sort of like Zorak and Lokar.

    But you never had any to begin with.

    Well, they both have authors who far overestimate their own skill.

    ^ but Ender's Game at least is still, y'know, actually good
  • NyktosNyktos
    a little muffled

    They're both about how Mormons are better than everyone else.

  • CountryPumpkinCountryPumpkin
    I clench my fists and yell "anime" towards an uncaring, absent God, and swear solemnly to press my thumbs into Chocolate America's eyeballs until he is blinded, to directly emasculate sporting figures, to beat the shit out of tumblr users with baseball bats, and to quietly appreciate what Waylon Smithers being gay means to me.

    ^^ But Ender's Game and Twilight also have a moral that is rather disconcerting and becomes even more so when you look at the background of the author.

  • MalkavianMalkavian
    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!

    >Ender's Game


    >Good



     


    Which part was good again? The insanely obvious twist that the game was real? The turgid prose? The galvanization of genocide?

  • SaigyoujiSaigyouji
    But you never had any to begin with.

    Clearly the part where being molested turns you into a gay molester. ...No, wait, that was Scott Card's Hamlet. His works are all bleeding together.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    one day, i'll get why people talk about OSC as a has-been rather than a never-was


    one day

    Some people can't accept that the things they liked as kids are actually shit.

  • GelzoGelzo

    If they're likable for kids, that makes it a good children's book. Not liking it as an adult doesn't make it objectively shit.

    Except the book tries to justify genocide on at least one occasion. At the very least, it tries to show that even though the main character committed genocide, it's not his fault because he didn't know. Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I have not read the book in a while. Coupled with the really disturbing undertones of incest and bizarrely detailed fight between the naked children in the shower room, and the conservative-fringe rhetoric Card has espoused, and it becomes very difficult to look at Ender's Game as anything other than Starship Troopers (the novel) but for children.
