A mum who’s been avoiding seeing the Minecraft movie with her two sons has been left with no other option now, as she faces a four day easter long weekend with fuck all to do, it’s reported.
Amber Tallis, 35, mum to Jamie, 4 and Luke, 5, tells The Advocate that she’s been avoiding the movie ‘like the plague’, due to seeing numerous news articles about the ‘Chicken Jockey’ phenomenon.
For those who aren’t chronically online, Jack Black’s character in Minecraft has a scene where he shouts ‘Chicken Jockey’, in response to seeing a rare Minecraft character. For some reason, this has resulted in a phenomenon where young blokes go ape shit in the cinema, screaming and throwin popcorn around.
In the Central Coast, this has even resulted in a brawl, and in the US, there have even been instances where teenagers have snuck live chickens and fireworks into the cinema.
Of course, even without this, Amber isn’t that interested in seeing what is essentially a ‘cash grab’ movie. But now that she has four days to entertain two very rambunctious young kids, she and her hubby have no other choice but to subject themselves to an hour and a half of brain rot.
“God, I miss when kids movies were good and original”, mutters Amber, probably referring to Shrek, “it’ll bloody cost me a $100 too.”
