  • Second Game Crash?

    Nintendo, once the company that saved gaming, is now facing backlash for filing patents that could let it claim ownership over common gameplay mechanics, sparking fears it could stifle creativity and harm both major studios and indie developers alike.

  • So… Doctor Who Just Regenerated Into Rose Tyler?

    According to writer Robert Shearman, the 15th Doctor’s regeneration into Billie Piper has basically put a full stop on the entire Doctor Who story. That’s a wild way to end things if he’s right. After all these years, do you think this is a fitting way to close the loop or does it feel more like the show’s run out of ideas?

Zootopia got everything right, except the popcorn bucket

So I finally got a hold of the Zoootopia 2 popcorn bucket and I have to say I wasn't impressed. In a world where films become available on digital within weeks of being released, I think people deserve a little more motivation to hit the theatre and, for me, a stunning popcorn bucket is that thing. With films like Dune practically selling out buckets at every theatre, I think Zootopia could have done better here

Totally fair take. The merch is half the fun of going to the theatre now that movies hit digital so fast. When Dune can sell out buckets because they actually make them look collectible, there’s no excuse for a big Disney property to phone it in. Zootopia 2 could’ve made something people would actually want to display and collect, but instead it's definitely throwaway promo.

I agree. I feel like ever since the unintentional Dune Popcorn design, franchises have been trying to one up each other in the popcorn bucket game. I’ve seen buckets that light up, play music, they can be used as toys, etc. Disney could have done a lot more for this film, maybe even make Gary the Snake the handle or something along those lines.

Speaking of popcorn buckets; I'm not really a fan of them, but I gotta say the new Chainsaw Man one is pretty damn good haha.

This is kind of funny since Pochita isn’t even in the new Chainsaw Man movie apart from the opening.

I’ve almost caved on a few popcorn buckets, but could never decide what to do with them after their initial use. Display them? Put popcorn in them at home? I’m far too lazy for all of that.
