“Hey Zack, would you take a paycheck if one was offered to you?”
“Sure would, friendo!”
These articles are so dumb when you think about them for a minute. I know why Hollywood news sites keep publishing them, but I don’t know why people keep clicking on them.
I remember on 9/11, some TV reporter on some major channel who wanted the stock “everything was traumatic” story from a maintenance guy who got out of one of the towers shortly before they came down.
Reporter: So you were in the sub-basement when the impact happened? How long did it take you to get all the way up to the doors and out?
Maintenance guy: I’d say it took about forty seconds.
Reporter: That must have seemed like a long time.
Maintenance guy: I’d say forty seconds. Maybe thirty.
Reporter (clearly exasperated): Yes, but how long did it feel like?
There’s a lot of fluff in media.
Yeah, I understand the desire to have that human interest piece, but as a journalist if you’ve already written the story before you do the interview, you’re a bad journalist. Fluff isn’t necessarily bad (interviews with kids in Gaza is super useful for our understanding of the war, for instance); it just becomes bad when a reporter or an editor decides what the story is at the beginning.
HA! Even if a Fortnite movie was a good idea for any reason other than even more fucking profit, which it isn’t, Zack fucking Snyder is so far from being the right person to do it that it seems like a joke.
The only person worse that comes to mind is JJ Abrams
JJ’s vaguely glossy look would fit Fortnite better than Zack’s gritty darkness, I think.
Fuck, now I gotta watch the star trek movies again
Jonesy to Peter Griffin, “He’s right behind me isnt he?” Darth vader “Im right behind you”
Starring Chris Pratt as Jonesy.
I, too, would be interested in doing a Fortnite movie despite not being a director or having any experience in filmmaking aside from the time we made a horror movie in scout camp for fun and also not even really liking Fortnite.
And I would ask for only half what Snyder would ask.
