Ice Cube is unable to play anything but Ice Cube.
Meanwhile I haven't seen Mos Def in anything lately. But despite better options that are cheaper, we get the Cube.
Def is in the Sweded version
I'm literally re-watching House and just watched the episode he's in.
-H.G. Wells
I didn't even know they were remaking it.
Again.
They remade it again.
I tried watching, made it like 15 minutes.
Its basically Cube sitting in front of a PC screen the entire movie and he's like Uber hacker man and just watches the aliens from home.
It's also insanely corny Amazon propaganda. There's Amazon boxes in every scene, his daughters boyfriend works for Amazon and wears the uniform all movie, they talk about Amazon a bunch, and they have a scene where they help someone out (idk what's really going on atp, I've was skipping thru to see if there was anything funny) by ordering an Amazon delivery and using the Drone Delivery option.
Truly harrowing stuff. I might have lost 20 minutes of my life with this
They are going to remake Titanic with a black male lead, aren't they?
Titanic: All Black cast & crew... except for the Captain, since it's 100% his fault it sank. Gotta blame a honky for that!
Also coming soon: Titanic with an all Midget/Dwarf cast! 😁
And he dies in the end, not as a result of selfless sacrifice, but because he can't swim.
Well the male lead couldn't swim in the original either.
Why the hell would Ice Cube do this instead of a final Friday movie?
If it were me, like if I was IC, and I had nothing to lose/it wouldn't hurt my existing revenue streams, I'd probably do it for the easy money. A Friday sequel would require some thought and effort, and if it failed, that could be a real problem for me.
This is a very astute observation. He can make as much slop like this as he wants, it doesn't matter. Hell, he made some kids movies like 15 years ago or so, that nobody remembers. But if he fucks up the Friday movies, that will stay with him forever.
iirc, he was complaining he got taken off a film cause he wouldn't take the covid jab. might have gotten blacklisted
Worse than I think? Impossible. False advertisement.
I got an ad on my TV (fucking smart TVs) and you could tell it would be bad. From the short preview, it looked like Ice Cube was just sitting in from of a monitor for the duration.
I don't get the surprise. Before everything was streaming, we had B movies no one ever saw that where direct to VHS. You just throw this in that column. Every one has bills to pay.
On top of that, this like the 40th War of the Worlds movie/TV show in the last 10 years. The only good one I was French series starring Gabriel Byrne. It had a really good twist to the story imo. I never got around to watching season 3.

Yes. Thats it. It just shows him on the monitor the whole film
Makes it sound like an attempt at "modernizing" Orson Welles' infamous radio broadcast adaptation.
