Ellen Page, Paris Berelc to Star in Gaming Comedy ‘1UP’ for BuzzFeed Studios

DC Talk was fun.



Ohhhh this is my wheelhouse, but yeah, dare you to listen to dc talk's first album or anything by the Newsboys now.
It's...rough

Jars of Clay and Caedmon's Call holds up

And this movie seems interesting to me. Almost any premise can be good if the execution is tight and the actors are on.
I love Ellen Page in a lot of stuff. Remember 'Super' with Dwight?

What time is it?

I might be high out of my gourd, but I went back and went through some of DC Talk's songs last night and I couldn't help but hear influences.

Jesus Freak -> Korn/Sevendust
Colored People -> Crash Test Dummies
Between You and Me -> Seal
What if I stumble...I can't quite place...maybe a boy band.

BuzzFeed laying people off.

Also BuzzFeed, let's spend money on a dumb movie about a topic that has been dead for years.

I bet closer to release they are gonna start posting countless articles with their press friends about how toxic male gamers still are and that gamer gate is still a huge thing, just for marketing. xD

"Berelc will portray a gamer who quits her college esports team due to sexism from her male counterparts. To keep her scholarship, she’s forced to assemble an all-female team and enlists the help of a coach — portrayed by Page — who has a gaming scandal in her past."

I don't even need to make fun of this premise. I'm guessing whoever wrote that paragraph is in on the joke.

By the way this is the funniest thread ive seen in while.

What's Ellen Page's gamer controversy anyway? The article made it sound like she was a NAM survivor

Entertainment can be a lucrative investment. Ask Apple and Amazon. They've been investing billions into original content, along with incumbents like Netflix and Warner Studios (HBO Max).

There's actually an entertainment gold rush because of this. So look for more similar moves from other companies.

And since a lot of this content is pandemic proof, theaters aren't coming back en masse anything soon, it's not a bad investment.
