A Video Discussing That Horny TayTay Movie Getting Patched (The Jimquisition)
Added 2020-01-13 15:04:53 +0000 UTCCats, starring Taylor Swift and Idris Elba as horrible nightmares, is a fine example of how movies are starting to resemble videogames in terms of how they're treated post-launch.
It was basically patched after it went to theaters, replaced with a new version that changed effects and performance timing. Combined with what Marvel has been doing with films such as Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home, the concept of post-launch content for movies running at theaters is getting very game-flavored.
The jokes about films getting patches and DLC have all been made, but there's a serious point to be considered, especially when it's predominantly fandom-centric movies getting constantly fiddled with.

2020-01-13 18:13:17 +0000 UTCA cat with Jim's face on it... I don't know about anyone else, but I would want that just to have it make snarky remarks about any garbage I might try to do. Might just be me.

2020-01-13 17:42:52 +0000 UTCThe placing of Jim’s face on a cat body was the funniest thing I’ve seen all day! Bravo, Jim and Justin, bravo! Also, hope this prophecy does not ring true... #ThankGodForJim
2020-01-13 16:15:52 +0000 UTCI will put Cats down as just "great" then :)

2020-01-13 16:12:55 +0000 UTCI had been begging my friends to go see Cats with me, and the only thing that convinced them was hearing that they were going to be rolling out a fix. So. Yeah. That controversy definitely sold at least 3 extra tickets it wouldn't have prior. Not exactly a windfall but the sort of thing I can see weaponized by other, smarter companies.
