ART BY SOUP? it's more likely than you think

The Minecraft Movie If It Was Good:

(It should've been an artsy stop-motion film in the Wes Anderson style)

Stop Motion wouldn't have been any more expensive than rendering everything in horrifying realistic CGI, the medium would easily work with Minecraft's blocky aesthetic, and it appeals to both old and young demographics. Plus, you don't need a bloated live-action blockbuster for a Minecraft film to get attention, it's already the best-selling game of all time.

For the story, I'd mirror the average player's first experience with Minecraft by focusing on Steve finding himself alone in this vast, strange world. At-first he's focused on surviving through trial and error, then gradually he begins to wonder where he came from and what his purpose is. He explores the world seeking answers, and finally realizes that "purpose" is something he must give himself.

Just like life, Minecraft is a sandbox game where you must make your own fun.

By utilizing minimal dialogue, an ageless medium, and centring around the fundamental human angst of 'why are we here,' the film (just like the game) could have had a universal and timeless appeal.

Cops open fire on armed Brooklyn fare-beater, also hitting 2 bystanders and officer

Four people were shot, including two bystanders and an NYPD officer, after two Brooklyn cops opened fire on a suspect allegedly armed with a

NYPD chase a man for fare evasion, tase him, become “aware of a knife” and then started blasting, hitting a cop, and two bystanders (one in the head) before getting this guy. Backtracking with “well this guy has done xyz before”, the cops didn’t know that. They frantically looked him up so they could justify a mass shooting of New Yorkers.

They drew guns over skipping the fare. They fired at anything that moved when they thought he had a knife. No confirmation that he even did have a knife.

Appalling.
