5 years ago today, the emoji movie was released. I actually followed John's channel and saw that video the day it came out, which was fun. It went on for a long time, like 3 months before the actual movie was released. He actually grifted quite a bit of money too by selling merch for a movie that no one cared about.
There was also the IHE video which had high production value for a YouTube video. He recorded himself IRL up until the movie started, and cared enough to see the movie in the theater. Also, he actually predicted that there was going to be an emoji movie!
Cool.
Look at the trailer's amazing like/dislike ratio!

They try to act like Gene is unique and special for having multiple emotions, but the movie consistently shows that everyone can express multiple emotions and has their own personality and free will, just filtered through the lens of their specific emoji role. For example, Gene's parents really love each other, despite being meh emojis who can only express it via monotone; Smiler enjoys causing misery even though her theme is happiness; and High-Five is greedy and acquisitive (playing on multiple possible symbolic associations of the open hand). Meanwhile, Gene's only "personality" is that he has no specific emoji role--he laughs when things are funny, cries when they are sad, etc--in other words, he's nothing but an empty shell mindlessly reacting to outside stimuli; whereas everyone else has a personal lens that would add something to their reaction. Everyone is their own unique person with a real character EXCEPT the guy that the movie tells us is complex and special. This really says a lot about our society.

Talk about a fall from grace for her. She's such a talented actress when directed properly and given a good character. It's so amazing to see her go from Monster's Ball to Gothika.

It was a bad movie, but in a kid's flick sellout cashgrab way. I saw it on tv at a family gettogether so I wasn't paying proper kino attention, but it didn't seem as bad as it was made put to be. Just meh. Dumb references might have got a grin or two out.

Fr it was much better than wreck it ralph 2 which was kinda doing the same thing
I think my favorite part was when the smiley emoji sent out some antivirus after the crew and jailbreak said something like "We need to get to DropBox!! DropBox is secure!!" It was a great time

I liked the movie - VERY funny - unlike that cr*p SLEEPY Joe Biden produces in the WH!
What was a bit weird though was opening the movie to 20 minutes of recreated ISIS executions. Before even the title cards! I guess they were going for some social commentary, but a 👶🏾-emoji cutting off the head of the "male pregnancy" one was a bit awkward. I didnt even know emojis had that much blood! And im not sure the children in my theater understood the satirical element either, there was quite a lot of crying. Well, not as much as during the movie itself, but still.
Overall 6/10

my GP told me to watch this movie because it was hilarious. Haven’t been back since
jk she is a some foreigner who knows her shit so I still go. she also recommended the movie “Duel” that’s just a car chase with no dialogue which was good. lots of “show dont tell” and action
edit: after watching a scene on youtube the whitoid guy with glasses couldnt control his car at <70mph on a road with no traffic? darn get a GRIP. UPS drivers can handle that while having no doors.

All scripture inspired by God has a similar message. Programming is a way of expressing ideas, just like any kind of writing. And where are ideas best expressed? In scripture. I try to use the writing style of the Torah as my guide for how I should program. Biblical Hebrew is a very simple language, yet the Torah expresses profound ideas in a simple and direct way using this language. This is exactly what one wants from good programming. And Luan is designed for this kind of programming.
Look at modern western culture, especially the culture of Silicon Valley. Can any religious person deny that this culture is the product of Satan? And so their software is inspired by Satan. Is this the kind of software that a Muslim or any religious person should use?
