Bird Box Director Defends Changing Ending From Book

What many people don’t know about Bird Box is the Netflix sensation is based off a book by Josh Malerman. The book released in 2014 and had the same name. Well, ScreenRant reports that director Susanne Bier in an interview with Polygon confirmed she changed the ending because she wanted the movie to end on a more positive note than the book because she doesn’t believe people should leave their screens or the theater with a bleak point of view. If you want her full quote I have included it below. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

“The movie is slightly more positive. The movie is, in many aspects, different from the book, but it’s also very rooted in the book. The book also has a kind of positive ending and I would not have wanted to do an apocalyptic movie that didn’t have a hopeful ending. In a way, pretty much everything I’ve done has had some sort of a hopeful ending. I’m not particularly interested for the audience to leave, from the cinema or their own screen, with a kind of completely bleak point of view. That’s not really what I believe in.”

Avengers: Endgame May Be 3 Hours Long

ScreenRant reports director Joe Russo that the new Avengers movie will be around the 3-hour mark. This isn’t the first movie in the MCU to run so long, so it really isn’t a surprise that the one that will end the story up to this point will also have such an expansive runtime. Personally, this doesn’t bother me, and I can’t wait to see it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory/

Dragon Quest 11 Coming to Switch, at Least in Japan

Porygon has reported that Dragon Quest 11 will be getting some upgrades and be released onto the Nintendo Switch. Fair warning tho, that link does contain a spoiler so please don’t read it without knowing that up front. It does list some of the changes but some of the changes also include a spoiler. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Disney Trademarks Hakuna Matata

Disney fans have at least one worry it seems. A petition on change.org according to Screenrant is quite upset with Disney for trademarking the words Hakuna Matata which in Swahili means no worries. Now I personally have not seen the trademark but some would argue they simply mean in the song but that would fall under copyright, not trademark so it seems they simply want to trademark works of a language so I can understand why they would be upset about it. This may be worth watching for fans of such things. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Super Smash Sells Fast, Surprising Nobody

As the titles states and as reported by Polygon and many others the new Super Smash game is the fastest selling in the series on the fastest selling console of this generation, and it should surprise absolutely nobody. Smash is the most popular fighting game in a system that has had very few and is full of the most popular characters gaming has ever seen. With the following, the series has and with the fact that the Switch is quickly catching up to the Xbox One which has been out far longer the only surprise would be if this didn’t sell more. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Shining And Jurassic Park added to the National Film Registry

The list of movies added to the national registry can be found at movieweb.com but for me, the two big ones are The Shining and Jurassic Park. Most people don’t realize how important this registry is. See a lot of movies have been lost to time for various reasons and 30 years ago there was a huge movement to save these works of art. Now every year movies are chosen to be saved for all time, classics that our great grandkids otherwise may not be able to see. Now, these are safe, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Monster Hunter Iceborne

Well here we are, Capcom delivered the news they promised at the Gaming Awards to Monster Hunter fans and it was HUGE. People thought everything from new monsters, to new hunter gear levels, to new areas a few speculated it was simply a new crossover event. They were all right, and there was so much more.
