PJDN movie looks promising. Unlike every other movie version of any good TV show ever.
Apart from South Park. I think.
Heard good things.
And fuck it, I liked the partridge film.

It looks as ropey as any other TV show that goes on holiday for the film. I like PJDN but I fear for this.
I also like the Partridge film.
The Inbetweeners film was terrible in a good way

They always go on holiday. Or away. Saves them getting all the b-listers in.
Even the movie tie-ins in the 60s and 70s they had to go on holiday.
The fucking rugrats movie too.
Nope, they pulled it completely a week or so before the release due to Covid numbers a couple of weeks ago.
Watched the new Ryan Reynolds film āFree Guyāā¦ the first half is fun, the second half is terrible and the ending is just not worth your time.
The missus said about seeing that and I said I was getting a bit bored of his schtick.
Then I had to explain what schtick meant.

TBH, the āKorg - Deadpool Reactā meta hype trailer about it made me want to see it.
Took the boy to see it today. I quite enjoyed it. Ending was a bit weak but the rest made up for it Iād say.
The Guy character reminded me a lot of Uncle Brynā¦
Really?
The guy smashing up his own business, but only cared about money? A love stroy that couldnāt go anywhere, then a love story that was never there till the end to tie it up, crap!
Itās a kids film so Iāll forgive a lot plot-wise. The good outweighed the bad by a long way for me.
Iāve sat through all the awful Harry Potter films the last few weeks, it was good to watch something that didnāt take its self seriously.
And the boy loved it, thatās the bit I enjoyed the mostā¦

A kids film? A family one, made for two levels of enjoyment but isnāt a plot the very essence of why we watch films? Or I could put out two hours of a monkey banging away on bongos with CGI all around it, and everyone will go home happy!?!
āIām not really about coherent plots in films, as long as things looked shiny and there were explosionsā is one of the strangest things Iāve ever heard?
I almost forgot to say, I went and bought a physical copy of it (as it was cheaper than paying to stream it) and loved it.
Okay, maybe bad phrasing. Iām happier to let more go in a film aimed primarily at kids, Iām not going to scrutinise it to the same level, like
the love story element here.
And the bit about the guy smashing up his business who only cared about money? Thatās why he was doing it. He was only trashing the servers for the game that they were about to pull the plug on, to stop a law suit that would impact on his new game.
āIām not really about coherent plots in films, as long as things looked shiny and there were explosionsā might be one of the strangest things you heard, but itās also not what I said.
Without the servers and the code he would have no new game though, maybe I got that wrong? If youāre going to have a love story which the film primarily is, the reason he becomes a āreal free thinking A.Iā then at least have a decent outcome to it all, is that to much to ask? With out the love story, there is no movie! His love at first sight moment is what starts the snowball of events, why he is trying to level up? To be with her, ect! The whole thing is hinged on a love story, till it isnāt, in the last ten minutes because they knew they had written themselves into a corner!
Iām no programmer but Iām assuming your new game wouldnāt be sat in the same servers, surely it would be ring-fenced elsewhere until launch?
To be fair, this really isnāt a hill to die on for me, I agree with your love story comments for the most part. I just thought it was a fun film, nothing more. And like I say, the boy loved it. Job done.
