I watched it this week, no popcorn was thrown. The movie was a solid 5/10, and was only carried by JB being JB.

Well, I know people would watch it.
I did not watch the Minecraft movie myself, no desire to experience a full theater of people throwing popcorn around screaming chicken jockey.
Movie industry is fucked.

I’m still sore about Jack Black being a coward and throwing Kyle Gass under the bus so IDK how much that would help with my enjoyment.

This one. I’m actually w/ Jack Black on this, because condoning violence is never okay, even for someone as distasteful as Trump.
That said, I think it was an overreaction. Maybe there’s more to it and this was the last straw. Idk.
That said, I’m sure Kyle is doing fine.

Not condoning violence against a fascist is rolling over and letting them get away with fascist shit. I take it you think Brian Thompson deserves sympathy as well?
Regardless of whether Kyle Gass is doing fine, it still reveals either a weak character on Jack Black’s part or significant ideological disagreement with my own beliefs. To an extent that I find him much less appealing as an actor or performer.
If violence against a corporate ghoul, fascist, or nazi saves more lives in the long run, it is 100% justified. If Crooks had not missed we’d be living in a much better world right now and far fewer people would be in serious danger.

i enjoyed the Minecraft movie. i wouldn’t say it was great, but i was watching it with my nephews and had fun. it helped that mamoa and black were clearly having fun doing it and had good chemistry together.
