they're making another one with LeBron James

This is the only Blu-Ray disc movie i own.

I was about to start a collection but i went full piratefag shortly after so it just sits there in a shelf with family pictures and stuff.

Is Space Jam really as bad as people claim? It's not art. But the hatred seems overblown.

>>81058965
It's goddamn awful.

I was born 3 years after Space Jam came out and have never seen it.

If you don't like Space Jam holy shit kill yourself because your life is meaningless you goddamn waste of space. Hating on Space Jam. What a world.

It was a good movie.

>>81058193
there will be another Space Jam, and it will be garbage

>>81058965
It's a bad meme, and I say this as a 34 year old sports fan.

Space Jam is absolute kino

>>81059275
God I forgot how truly afwul this movie was

I know I'm being gently trolled but Space Jam is garbage.
Watch it, now, as an adult, and you'll see.

>>81059594
>Watch it, now, as an adult, and you'll see
All I see is Kino. Pure, untouchable Kino.

>>81059275
Hahaha yeah this part hypes me up so much honestly.

It's just pure branding and high energy which I love.

And back then in the early-mid 90s, Loony Tunes t-shirts with the characters dressed all hip hop or hip-house or gangsta were really popular and this movie was totally just exploiting that trend while at the same time exploiting the uber popular Michael Jordan brand, and it was like this little moment was the culmination of Warner Bros milking all this brand hype.

So great. I'm trying to think of another movie that's literally just brands being waved at you like this. Obviously any franchise - Transformers, capeshit, Star Wars - but never anything quite like this.

>>81059696
Really though. Its almost unsulting to watch it as an adult because you see it for the lame painfully unfunny cash-grab it was.
And it's even more insulting because you as a kid fell for it, exactly like that boardroom of executives wanted you to. It's like finding out you were raped as a child.

>>81059711
Why is literally any of that a good thing? Fuck off

>>81059711
There's nothing good about it shamelessly cashing in.
It wasn't self-aware. It wasn't funny. It was just marketing.
Space Jam was the '90's extension of the '80's cartoon shows that only existed to sell toys.

>>81059801
Dino Riders is kino, sometimes the toy shows work out.

>>81059767
>>81059801

I agree that shamelessly cashing in usually has bad results, but my view is that results are what matters.

The aesthetic object is ultimately the issue, and who cares about its particular type of form or intent or social use or politics or whatever. Does it give you a rush? I admire and enjoy when something seems to descend from the sky with a sense of sublimity or impact like you're on cocaine or ecstasy or something.

>>81058193
That's funny, when I first saw Phantom Menace I thought I was watching a spiritual sequel to Space Jam.

>>81059920
(same poster)

And actually I really do prefer when things derive either from an auteur or from an inspired scenius (a creative hivemind), but I'm perfectly open to the idea that the most shameless commercialism can sometimes produce amazing shit. The more board room and focus group-driven it gets, the worse, which is why it has been worse recently, but there have been tons of quality products made with commercial intent.

And I say this very much as a strong art-for-art's-sake advocate.

I'm not the type to say this often, but read a book sometime.

One more reason to be thankful, unironically so.

>>81058193
I mean, how could Space Jam work now?

It was partaking in trends so distinct to that time: Warner Bros characters revival and Michael Jordan.

The WB has long since shifted its branding to teen soaps and 'dark' capeshit, while Jordan's brand it not what it was, and basketball isn't exactly the prominent thing it was then either.

>>81058193
Good. It was shit. Even at 11 I didn't like it.

>>81058193
It's a stupid move, whatever you may think about space jam, one thing is certain, it was timely.

This was the undisputed maximum legend of basketball, retired without an "heir" in the league and on the verge of coming back. The amount of built in appeal for the movie is irreproduceable

The closest today was the fucking reality show LeBron James comissioned to explain his decision to go to the Cavs, it was shit.

The only parallel I could see would be if they try doing a soccer space jam with Lionel Messi or a swimming movie with Michael Phelps, I dunno

>>81058965
Fantastic Soundtrack I can say that

>>81059920
Wow yeah I share the exact same opinion, just never thought someone would be able to articulate it that way, and especially on /tv/ of all places

>>81059594
It had Bill Murray in it. I already know it's trash. If he's in a movie the odds of it being bad are raised exponentially just by his mere appearance.

>>81061803
>I mean, how could Space Jam work now?

Very easily. Space Jam 2 will come out sometime between 2022 and 2025, after Lebron James retires. It will have virtually the same plot. It will pander in some way to the Chinese audience (maybe a guest appearance from Yao Ming?). And it will make bank.

>and basketball isn't exactly the prominent thing it was then either.

Basketball is still massive, and it's gained a huge overseas following (especially in China). Lebron James alone sells $400 million worth of shoes per year. He's the 4th-most famous person in the world, after Cristiano, Messi, and Taylor Swift.

Basketball in the US is not as big as it was in those prime Jordan years (especially 1996 to 1998), but overseas? It's never been bigger.

>>81063423
Exactly. Michael Jordan was at this degree of fame and impact that was on par with Babe Ruth. That's not something that can just be expected to be there at any given moment.

>>81063646
Thanks. I'm not a typical /tv/ user to be fair, although I am an oldfag by this point. If you ever see someone rather articulately arguing for the vitality of aesthetics of something in /tv/ threads, it's probably me. I'm actually an artist who got interested in memes back in the mid 00s and have since been drifting through online communities and tampering with meme culture because I find it all funny and interesting.

Kind of surprised they haven't made a sequel already honestly. I guess they're worried it would bomb, and while there's some big basketball stars none of them have ever reached Michael Jordon levels.

>>81058965
It's really fucking stupid but it's quintessential nostalgia.

>>81063845
I suppose James is massive, sure, but is he the equivalent of Jordan?

I'm sure they can attempt to exploit him as if he were, but I'm not sure if as many people care. Jordan was so ubiquitous in the 90s it was crazy.

They'll make a sequel but replacing Looney Tunes with Minions.

Don't even joke about that. Good god no.

Boring for the first half, last half is fine and worth seeing.

>>81063699
You meant Chevy Chase, right?

Bill Murray is the funny guy with mostly successful comedies.

Well he sorta had a heir but it is very debatable if he lived up to mj

You have to be old enough to be able to remember 1995 to enjoy it.

>>81065353
they should have done one with kobe

>>81063946
>I suppose James is massive, sure, but is he the equivalent of Jordan?

No. Not even close. Jordan was basketball, for about 8 years. He was more popular than the sport itself. Lebron doesn't have the same worldwide appeal.

>>81063845
True, but still, Lebron is nowhere near Jordan's level of fame. People who don't care about basketball know who Jordan is, wear his shoes, buy what he advertises, etc. . Lebron can't touch that.

>>81065353
Kobe was MJ Lite, didn't live up to him but was a very similar player. I think if Kobe was born about 5 years earlier, when the NBA worked in a way that allowed mid-ranger shooters to be GOATs, we would seriously be considering Kobe among the top 5 players of all time, instead of "only" the top 10 or top 15.

>>81067276
Nah, the rape accusations and the fact that Kobe is kind of an autist means that it wouldn't be viable.

>>81058965
Dude it is pretty bad.

>>81063845
>Lebron James
literally who

>>81058193

Yes, yes there will be.

Warner Brothers is too money grubbing not to do it. It's a ripe little peach of a an old franchise to not fuck about with. Not to mention the NBA would jump all over it with all the publicity and it will do amazing. Might even bring back Looney Toons for a minute.

>>81058193
Wasn't there some news about a lebron james space jam?
