Jack Black’s Kids “Worship” Conan | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@supasnake8138]

Borderlands is a return of Hollywood attempting to adapt something that they know nothing about and refuse to understand.

[@Soggywafflecakes]

Borderlands is dogshit now so Hollywood can keep it.

[@tGabvo]

​@@Soggywafflecakes Kinda but keep in mind this is based on the good games.

[@byranjohnson5931]

[@harrydavey9884]

Conan is still popular among kids of all age because he is funny, but he is also genuine.

[@buttsauce123]

And his sarcastic style of humor is very universal. Many comedians are a bit too adult with their material and its lost on kids

[@introjeff]

Dude, the meteor hitting a tree and turning into a Stradivarius is brilliant. Conan's ability to make analogies off the cuff will always be mind blowing to me.

[@JaeohnEspheras]

that's actually exist in the world of physics. if things goes infinite for space and time, eventually you will get it.

[@introjeff]

@@JaeohnEspheras even further, if the multiverse is real, there are universes for which causal events run in reverse, but I'm only complimenting this analogy because of the imagery and the fact that it effectively makes his point and he made it seemingly instantly. Conan's mind is very limber and agile I think is the point here.

[@SmolFrogge]

@@introjeff conan was very limber with lumber

[@dangerfly]

​@@introjeff I can't picture how a decrease in entropy would also reverse causal events.

[@introjeff]

@@dangerfly if you take the multiverse seriously then you have to believe the laws physics would be very different, where time itself ran in reverse, not just that entropy decreased. I'm assuming causality itself wouldn't be the same.

[@mrsmi1ey]

I saw the movie last night. All the things that Jack talks about that make the games cool... none of that is in the movie. Also, while I love Jack Black, there was absolutely zero reason to cast him as the voice of Claptrap while the original voice actor is still working. This movie was killed by moronic executives, and team of people that looked at the Borderlands game cover and then said, "let's make this our own!" It really is a shame.

[@Mixxie67]

Love so much that Jack Black frequently cites RDR2 as a game he loves. That game meant such a lot to me and got me thru the grief of losing my dad in the early months of Covid. He didn’t have Covid but he declined in his long-term care home and I wasn’t able to visit him. I got exactly 1 hour with my dad before he passed later that night.

[@teddebeere3223]

I’m really sorry you had to go through that but I’m happy that game and this clip brought you some joy.

[@jeffreyoldham55]

[@ZeroTSONG]

Loved that game till halfway through the main character went from a god of war to effectively a cursor flying around the map.

[@MoosieMyers]

I love Jack but "Cell Shading" should have been a word added to every leads vocabulary. I feel like Conan 100% knew what disaster he was trying to avoid by not going deep into Borderlands

[@thelushomega6706]

I feel like Hideo really likes Conan.

[@danielrasmussen2167]

Everyone likes Conan. If someone doesn't they're not a real person.

[@vincenerva]

Conan is in Death Stranding and they have hung out before, so yeah Hideo really likes him

[@JaguarXJ]

Kojima has a weird thing for American actors and celebrities. He was obsessed with Kurt Russel’s character Snake from Escape From NY, which led to Metal Gear and his eventual meeting with David Hayter. Then he moved on to Kiefer Sutherland, then Norman Reedus. I lost respect for him when he dropped Hayter as Snake.

[@Phoenix_1991]

​@@JaguarXJto be fair, he only did that with big boss, and it turned out it wasn't even the real big boss. Solid Snake had never been replaced still. So in my head, Hayder is Still Solid Snake. Plus people forget but, they had also replaced Big Boss' VA at te end of MGS4, but I get it, je was old and in the same scene as Solid so it would have been awkward, but still. I don't mind it as much as I used to since they are all their own unique person, solid, liquid, solidus, naked and venom snake. All having different VA's.

[@JaguarXJ]

@@Phoenix_1991 I know that’s the supposed narrative of what happened but if you read about it from Hayter’s perspective you will see that he was basically forced out and not asked to return as Snake. You can put whatever “spin” you want on the situation, but clearly they had some type of falling out. I have no idea what happened but Kojima has always been a little weird and has only gotten weirder. Also, the fact that Konami even kicked him off his own creation (Metal Gear) speaks volumes. I say this as someone who’s favorite games of all time are the MGS series btw.

[@Polarke27]

I absolutely love Jack Black. He went an entire segment talking about video games WITHOUT talking about his own excellent game Brutal Legend.

[@Manaoclarito]

I loved him too. Shame how he passed away after that horrible Biden endorsement

[@iambetterthanu]

He must've been so tired. These press junkets are often brutal (no pun intended). They ask them to start at 5am and do 15-20 appearances a day! Radio shows, talk shows, podcasts, livestreams, youtube shows...

[@AdmaTurtle]

Why didn't they mention Clueless Gamer!? I also loved the Conan surprise in Death Stranding. I've been a Conan fan since I was around 10 years old in the nineties.

[@billymurphy4800]

Conan and Bill Hader on Clueless gamer, co play good times.

[@notmomoayase]

where the hell is good game nice try podcast. would it be even come back after 2 years of hiatus?

[@steamsuhonen9529]

I love how Conan takes his court advisors, like Bley, with him to places.

[@BlazeHedgehog]

I also think it's because video game releases still feel like an "event." Movies and TV are moving further and further to streaming content mills, where quantity exceeds quality. You never have to fit anything into a "release schedule", you just have to target the right demographic. So the line between TV and movies is blurring into one general umbrella of "content" that is blasting out of a firehose at all times. And it's made to be somewhat disposable, because by the time you're finished with one thing, they want you to watch 8 more things that just came out while you were watching. A game on the other hand can be something you look forward to for 9+ months, pre-ordering feels special, preloading feels special, you get deluxe editions with bonus content, sometimes even statues and books, and a game can last you weeks if not months. In some very special cases, a single game can even last some people YEARS. And that's before you even consider expansion content like DLC, unlockables, secrets, and more. A single video game can leave this huge impact crater on the entertainment landscape in the way movies and TV are getting away from. (Except games also want to move in this direction, and that's exactly what Xbox Game Pass is trying to do)

[@massmutt6173]

Part of why the goosebumps books became so popular was because of the choose your own path options that came along with some books. Always had to keep my finger on the previous page because you could always just die and it would end. There was also a movie in the 90's called Mr. Payback that had the theatres equipped with a controlled with 3 buttons and as different scenes were coming to an end, you were prompted to choose the next scene with the buttons. It was the last movie i ever saw released in that style so yeah no movies coming out in that style again

[@masterofallgoons]

The one they mentioned, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, offered dozens of 'choose your own adventure' type choices that had major effects on the outcome of the plot

[@Drewggles]

Goosebumps was super popular before the 1st choose your own came out.

[@ThatsOnYoutube]

Calling Claptrap an R-rated R2D2 is exactly the generic corporate energy I expected from a Borderlands movie.

[@tallgoose85]

Tbf Claptrap would’ve always started off as an R2D2 parody. Fans of the games (like us) can respect the ultimate nuance of the character, but it’s not a problem for others to build a bridge w new audiences by acknowledging the homage. (Pretty sure close to 80 percent of Conan’s audience never heard of Borderlands before seeing the trailer.)

I love Jack, but I just watched Borderlands & it's gotta be one of the worst movies I've ever suffered through... and I watch bad movies on purpose. There wasn't even anything to laugh _at_ or make fun of, just 50 shades of bland. "Meh" from start to finish. No dispersion on the actors as I know they were just doing what they could with what they had, but Eli Vance should be ashamed of himself for the writing & directing. Seriously, it's just a painful watch. Doubly so because I was watching terrific actors in such a dreadful film. Again, nothing but love, Jack, but the movie sucked hard. I wish they'd taken some notes from "Tales From the Borderlands" 'cause that stuff was brilliant. (Side note, Hideo came through our early interactive live VR movie performances way back when we started, years ago, as one of the Venice film fest judges, lol - small world, eh?)

[@shikhar.awasthi]

Just came back from watching it and I felt thoroughly bored throughout. And I haven't even played the games!

Thank you for this honest review. This should be on top!

[@funkasauruswrex8448]

I was struggling to keep my eyes open about half an hour before it ended and its only like 90 minutes long 😂😂 90 painful minutes. Sad to see a fun game represented so poorly on film. The PG13 didnt help but the story was so bad, how the scenes played out, it's a perfect example of a terrible movie that didn't do anything for fans of the franchise and a terrible depiction of Borderlands for those who have not plkayed the games

[@iambetterthanu]

​@@shikhar.awasthiPlease don't judge the games on the movie Shikhar! The games (esp the first two) were incredible. Especially BL2 and all its DLC, possibly one of the greatest games of all time. Honestly a desert island choice. So much fun. It's sad they defiled the brand with this awful movie.

for the record, Jack was saying Kojima correctly, Aaron corrected him with the super anglisized wrong version and then they kept saying it wrong after that, it's Ko Jee Muh not Koje Uh Muh

Both were equally incorrect since they both used prosodic stress which doesn't exist in Japanese.

[@Maryokutaizero]

The first usage of the comic book look from the Borderlands games (known as cel-shading) actually predates the series by roughly a decade, unlike what Jack Black is saying here. It's a bit of a debate which one was actually the first due to development periods overlapping, but Jet Set Radio (released in 2000) is widely considered being the pioneer, with multiple games adopting the style before Borderlands came along.

[@manuelgarciaiv2395]

Ironic that he mentioned "The Room" with "F's across the board " because I heard this movie is a major flop, which is unfortunate... I think if he wants to get into "the shift to gaming " he should take example from the elephant in the room that I felt they tried hard not to bring up, being the competition and all---and that's the success of Fallout.. Haven't seen Borderlands yet, but it looks like a thirsty money grab, not really for the fans unfortunately. Like Jumanji actors took over your game and made it lame. Jmo, I could be wrong.
