See the nun on the far right? I'll even tag @Frank D'arbo and @Nurse Ratchet that's fucking Vanessa Redgrave from motherfucking Ken Russel's The Devils.

NB4 "Oh, that's just a random nun!" No! Warner Bros. owns the Devils. It is the same character.

This is a big deal because The Devils is one of the most controversial films ever made, condemned by the Catholic church, and Warner has been doing all they can to suppress the film for over 40 years. They refused to release it on DVD/Blu and they even refused other labels from putting it out like Criterion. I don't know how the streaming service Shudder was able to show it for a while.

This is the equivalent of Disney blatantly referencing Song of the South or the Donald Duck Nazi cartoon in one of their tentpole movies. Whoever put that nun right there got a good fucking laugh.

I'm sorry, I still can't get over the fucking fact that we got a The Devils reference in a fucking SPACE JAM movie. If this isn't proof we're in a clown world I don't know what is.

Is W-B watching this thread? I find it odd how the Space Jam video I posted here was quickly taken down after I posted it.

Wouldn't you have interns out to censor clips to desperately try to hide that this thing you blew hundreds of millions on is the biggest pile of shit in the world? Because this film already hasn't even broken 100 million yet and there's nothing up against it, and the first couple of days are the big deciding factor in 99% of all movies.

Seems like everyone that wants Song of the South on Disney+ is more about hiding and pretending the racism and shit from that era never happened or seeing it out of morbid curiosity. With The Devils, people legit are fans and just want to see what Ken Russell originally made, kind of closer to the release the snyder cut people but far smaller.

Well yeah, it's autistic for WB to refuse to acknowledge that film too. Just own up to your mistakes and move on, put like a big ass warning to not show children and then mock the retarded parents who let them see their weird satanic sex movie.
 
Between Lebron's ego and the shameless consoomer product placement, I never thought I would violently hate something this quickly within the span of a week of hearing about it.

Why did they have to make this a dick sucking fest?

It's been said before in this thread but it wouldn't have been even that hard to make a true2form sequel, the concept for the original movie was super simple but they had to let their hubris guide this one.

Btw I find the "Scoob" poster really funny because that was their last attempt of making Cinematic Universe out of their properties, that movie was a complete trash fire and so was this one, I hope they don't try to pull this shit again.

JESUS!

I thought they kissed MJ's ass in the first one, but this is next level shit. MJ looks practically humble by comparison.

Even in the first film most of the asskissing comes from Wayne Knight and its mostly treated as a joke about how obnoxious he is... Here Lebron's fame is actually central to the plot and he's treated as the biggest celebrity on Earth who is the bad guy's ultimate key to world fame/domination. The asskissing gets worse throughout, but I'll just post the most blatant one and end it there before WB gets all miffed.

Also... "Isn't E3 amazing fellow gamers?!!"
Yes E3 gets shilled a lot in this film for some reason, with E3 gamer camp being the kid's main goal and the main reason he rebels against his dad and joins the bad guy.

Those blue alien things are really weird and I think they were meant to be the Minions for this movie.

Fuck it, might as well post a nobrain napkin script I had for this horrible film:

So the film opens on LeBron being the big basketball man who has a lot of money, especially since Kobe's fucking dead. So he decides as rich people to to get his own robot butler because fuck it, he has hundreds of millions of dollars. So he blows it on computer badguy, who I name as Moore due to it being a nod to Moore's law and also the concept of wanting more.

Moore goes sapient and grows jealous and desirous of LeBron's life, so he starts sabotaging and controlling his life and trying to ooze into his kid's graces. Also Moore is a failed military AI program made by crazy scientist man, who can be played by whoever is jobless and a comedian.

And then when LeBron gets sick of being told by a damn computer what to do, he hijacks his pimped out car and kidnaps his son. Moore then builds robots too that outperform all basketball stars in the world so he can basically buy all the measures to basically cockblock LeBron, especially since he's lovebombing his son.

But that's the key; the basketball stars "in the world". So he and Scientist Man then use a rejected device to go to Toonland, since while the best basketball stars in the world lose to those robots, that's only that planet. Cue toonboom antics where LeBron and whacky scientist man do stuff to assemble a team. Have Bugs lampshade he's done something like this before too.

If you NEED a Rick and Morty Reference, have them accidentally and cold bloodedly kill and/or injure scientist man comedically. By like running him over with their UFO thing. Rick burps out a good riddance and calls him a hack.

Anyways, then you got Toons vs. Moore's Robots. And the Robots are cheating since this allstar team is matching them in power. So then Bugs has to do something he was told to never do by the bossman: he has to Open the Forbidden Door. To 1940s cartoons. To steal the Looney Tunes Gremlin as a ringer.

This fucker is the key to them winning since he sabotages them hard due to toon antics. So LeBron wins, but the AI is pissed so he tries to kill his son anyway. Because he CHEATED... despite CHEATING HIMSELF. Cue a smackdown, and then because fuck it we need MEMBER THAT? LeBron and his kid decide to go on vacation using that dimension device the now alive and injured scientist man fixed.

Cut to credits where you insert the other IPs there as LeBron looks blankly at them with his kid on vacation. And then, because you need a stinger, Moore managed to escape from his damaged shell, and teams up with the League of Super Bad guys. Who's like a couple of random WB badguys who mock them.

This is literally just a slightly cleaned up version of a pile of shit idea I came up with yesterday.

Yep. Apparently its some kind of AI? They never really elaborate on wtf this thing is outside of popping out of a digital cube and the bad guy saying he made him look cute.

I originally thought based on early trailers that he was supposed to be a light-bulb...

It didn't fool anyone in What's Opera Doc, what the FUCK made the bazillion writers of this movie think it'd work now!?

I thought they actually would kill him off since Looney Tunes is basically a dead IP and they knew the movie was so awful they never wanted to use Bugs Bunny again. I was genuinely disappointed he came back since it makes a Space Jam 3 possible.

Well, the Devils has some fans of note like Guillermo del Toro, who has been outspoken about WB not giving it a blu ray, so not like Song of the South in that way. But someone must have been able to sneak it past WB in the first place, and it just being too unknown of a movie and costly to edit her out of the movie for it to be worth doing anything.

Guillermo del Toro Slams Warner Bros. for Censoring Ken Russell’s ‘The Devils’

The director said the studio has blocked the DVD and Blu-ray release in North America

I agree with Del Toro that they should release the movie, but what's weird about all of this is that it did have a home video release in the 80s on VHS. I'm not sure why they're so skittish about re-releasing it when the United States is overall less religious than the 80s, not to mention that it's not just some exploitation film. It won awards. It's based on a true story. Even if Warner's did want to release it themselves, they could easily license it to someone like Severin or Arrow Films.

Even before it came out WB cut it to fuck, I know around 10 years ago some of the footage was found, but it's one of those movies that don't just need a new release but to have the original version before the studio had its way with it. In fact, WB has many movies they could do that for, and with HBO Max cost is lower than ever but they won't unless there is a big fan movement.

Also don't think WB has ever licenced a title out to a company like Arrow, which is a crying shame. Was True Romance but that is owned by Morgan Creek rather than WB.
