My child won't stop singing the "Lava Chicken" song from the Minecraft movie. How do I go on living? (lemmy.world)

Ok Lemmings look, I love life and I love my family, so I'd hate to have to blow my fucking brains out. So what's another strategy for tuning out this incessant lava chicken?

Alternatively, does anyone have a time machine and enough money to convince Jack Black to not do the Minecraft movie?

It is not a good movie, but my kids enjoyed it, so I got some vicarious pleasure out of the experience. I wouldn't watch it on my own.

I put it on for myself(42) the other day it took all my will to not turn it off 3 mins in, I broke by 25 mins and turned it off. I then mocked my buddy who said it wasn't bad(he has 2 boys in prime Minecraft movie age).

I have an 18 month old girl with another on the way, not looking forward to whatever her equivalent frozen/Minecraft movie is. But I have also sung more wheels on the bus than I can stand.

I sat through a couple of the Paw Patrol movies when my guys were younger. It helps if you can find a way to appreciate them for what they are.

Or sleep. I slept through the Mario movie and I think that made it way better.

Yeah same. It was our first theater experience together and we had a blast. The movie is aggressively mediocre although it does have a few moments.

I don't know why people dislike it so much other than the girl and her brother doing a terrible job at being relatable or authentic. I thought Jack Black and Jason Momoa did a great job and I'm not even a fan of Momoa.

Agreed. It was a fine example of a kid movie with kid actors. If you go in with low expectations, you probably won't be disappointed.
