Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Anything but obvious cash grabs and uninspired spinoffs like the emoji movie.
Even stuff like The Room are WAY better even from a creative process standpoint. That thing is an adventure. The emoji movie is just a soulless product.
So don't watch the new Godzilla or Meg movies?
As someone who did watch the Meg because someone else wanted to watch it, I'd say please don't. You lose a lot more by going to watch it than you do by not watching it.
Were they cash grabs or safe bets? There is definitely a gray zone for "safe bets" where the creatives actually do a decent job. Lazy trash from execs, but if the creatives manage to deliver it can still achieve "not a waste of time".
