Aliens - The ULTIMATE 80s Action Movie?
Переглядів 114Рік тому
Aliens is not only an EPIC 80s action movie it's also explicitly feminist and anti-capitalist. Alex believes it is James Cameron's masterpiece and (heresy!) better than Ridley Scott's Alien. Show notes and links: electricenthusiasm.com/aliens/

Tom Waits: The Weirdest Human In Showbiz
Modesty Blaise is brilliant, and for the life of me I have no idea why these novels never got the movies she (and Willie Garvin) have always deserved.
EXACTLY 💯💯💯💯💯
I'm obsessed with her. Been binge-watching everything about her, for days. Can't get over how compassionate, down-to-earth & humane she was. She had a heart of gold and a beautiful soul.
You guys are so much fun! Katie you are delightful and your enthusiasm is infectious. You are spot on about indian cinema having a flare of anime in how the movies are presented.
Comment
Mobile internet has evolved incredibly over the last 10 years in India, before which many people's worlds were as tiny as a peanut. The sudden exposure to the outside world is making some of them ('some' in Indian terms should be read as 'a lot' by outsiders considering their huge population) overly fascinated by its beauty, or in your case, cuteness, leaving them wanting more of it. Imagine a monkey finds a smartphone and sees pictures of Megan Fox from Transformers-they drive him crazy. I know I'm insulting my fellow Indians here, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Not due to malicious mindset, but lack of enough exposure or education about the outside world. Apologies on their behalf!!
*Did ur channel die?* why no new videos.
Shes so freaking damn cute man😊
A major ommission is the 2014 "Before The Dawn" 22-date concert residency. When tickets went on sale, they sold out in under 15 minutes, and people travelled from all over the world to see perform live.
Hi, I'm a little late to the game but I beg you to not overlook The Moomins as an interesting piece of art as well. Tove talked about grief, codependance, exile, malfunctionning family dynamics, child abuse and also, yes, queer love in it. It's very complex and she had a lot to say, a ton of what she said she did say it trough the moomins. You should look it up it's brilliant work. Good day A girl with a moomin tatoo as well.
If somedy's interested Henry Kathman did a youtube video called "a complete amateur's guide to The Moomins", so much work put into it, great content😊
You both are soooo ❤ sweet
❤
Thanks guys. Next watch the telugu movie called Pushpa.
Please give the entire movie's reaction video, may be with another person who's watching for the 1st time?? ❤
I've now kept you talking for several hours in the background when working: most enjoyable, thank you! About Lang's other movies: he also directed the first screen adaptation 'Man Hunt' of Geoffrey Household's 1939 novel Rogue Male, this was made in 1941 Hollywood, when USA was not yet involved in the war. Clive Donner directed another version in 1976, with Peter O'Toole as the Englishman going after big game. Both movies are quite watchable.
The first Oldfield record I bought was Airborn. Still play it from time to time. But... the one thing I've found special is that he's a pilot. I remember him having a Beechcraft, maybe from the time he recorded Five Miles Out? The musicians that fly, I swear to heavens... Mike Oldfield, Gary Numan, Bruce Dickinson... here in Finland we have a guitarist with a PPL certificate, Heikki Silvennoinen, who also writes comedy. Damn, all that talent and skill.
This was fun. Taylor once said: “The worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb or stupid for being excited about something.” And I think that’s what enthusiasm is all about ❤
Ojalá verlo en directo un día en Barcelona 🫠
Great video for all those of us who love and admire Tim Minchin. He's brilliant at everything he does.
Love ❤
You Messy
Tim is a bloody legend 😊 just got tickets for when he's touring Melbourne in October. Seen him a couple of times over the years this new show is more of his serious music. He's hilarious but the guy sure knows how to write a brilliant live song
Beyonce won the top music award. Taylor won the fan voted one for female video.
the irony is that Kate Bush did precisely that. She gave up settled down and became an ordinary mother. She could afford it.
I wouldn't say Tubular Bells was the best thing he ever did personally. It was his most successful work if that's what you meant. However as great as it is there's many other great works from him that are better. One of Mike's personal favourite albums is Amarok from 1990.
I've heard it 100s of times and all of his works including none album stuff and rarities. I'm a massive Mike Oldfield fan. Thanks for uploading this. BTW that's the Tubular Bells lll logo on your thumbnail... I'm just showing off now lol.
I love your concept from the get-go, and I need to understand this idea of the 'I'm special' mindset, and how Taylor is modeling freedom and liberation from it. What a breath of fresh air!
What is your definition of quite wealthy? Her father was a retail broker for Merrill Lynch based in Reading PA and thus was able to take his book of clients with him to Nashville. He probably was doing well for Reading PA, but doing well is not the same as weathy. I'm not directing this criticism specifically to you. It’s the narrative that was created to somehow diminish T. Swifts success.
You forgot another important thing about the rerecordings. She has vault songs on each rerecorded album.
AGREE WITH KANYE! WHAT. You belong with me is way better. She is not bubble gum pop. You never heard some songs on her first album, I guess. So what if she had red lipstick.
You know it is not nepotism. Taylor would have signed anyway with Scott. I hate that narrative in today's world.
Waymond was originally written to play Michells part. When Jackie Chan declined the role as waymond they cast short round and flipped the two roles.
its a real horse
Horse is real Almost all the scenes 😂😂😂 Please research
You could try Bahubali 1 and 2. Directed by SS Rajamouli (RRR director). It is story of Kings ,kingdoms and promise.
I can't believe that she was compared to Taylor Swift. You guys have no idea what you're talking about.
Great review... I wanna recommend you a criticproof INDIAN MOVIE.... SARDAR UDHAM ( 2021) is the best bollywood movie ever made. IMDB 8.4. ROTTEN TOMATOES 94% (Highly critically acclaimed) Mark my words you will not forget this movie. It will break your stereotype regarding indian movies that they are only song and dance and fun. **It will change your top 10 movie list of all times.** IT IS A MODERN CLASSIC. **You'll experience the new new of Indian Cinema.** **An exceptional Gem.** THANK YOU Brother.
Watch there trailers/ teaser.....
There's a brief MTV interview Kate did in the '80s, at the height of MTV's time actually focusing on music... probably around the time of the Hounds of Love album, where... the question asked wasn't as sexist as the 1979 interview... but was even more brain-dead and you can see Kate reach her limit. Her answer was fairly polite but the look she gives the interviewer was withering. I forget the question and answer but it made an impression. I can see your "anti-Tom Waits" comparison, but Kate and Tom are both equally eclectic - - they both give zero fucks about anyone thinking they're weird or uncommercial. Both are theatrical. I'm a huge fan of both.
If you ever find that clip again WE WANT TO SEE IT 😀And you're exactly right that Bush and Waits are similar in their commitment to creating the art THEY want. And that's awesome!
@@electricenthusiasm I'll keep an eye out - one of those random UA-cam finds that I can seem to find now... I hope it's still up.
@@electricenthusiasm It might have been included on a documentary piece about Kate... I'll look though those soon.
It's from the Night Flight interview in 1986 and I believe the question asked was "What are you looking for in a man?" and Kate was definitely irritated with that sexist question. Also, I like the comparison you made with Tom Waits and Kate Bush since they are extremely eccentric and enigmatic artists who don't like being in the spotlight. And they are both in my top 5 favorite artists of all time!
All the machines in the laundromat represent everyone's "bagel", the drudgery of laundry and taxes. But did you notice the one machine was "Out of Order"? Yes, that was the one with Googly eyes on it!!!!
The CGI Dragon in Game of Thrones were created in Mumbai, India
Given that approximately 15 millions died from 1850 to 1899 in 24 major famines which were artificially and intentionally created, Jallianwala Bagh massacre on 13 April 1919 where 1500+ women children and innocent men were open fired and killed (watch Sardar Udham 2021) Unethical Human Experiments on more than 20,000 indians who were subjected to chemical warfare trials involving poison gases, such as nerve gas and mustard gas. Forcefully breaking thumbs of Indian Textile industry which were exported to world Forcing Indian farmers to grow Opium which destroyed the soil and society as well Looting 45 Trillion worth of money from India Looting whatever they can and still shamelessly displaying in Museum Breaking the country into several parts before which still is reason for Geopolitical Un-stability to just name a few. They indeed are Empire of Filth. The movie should have showed these Bastard Race much worst how they really are.
It’s hard to compare Alien and Aliens, so different plus I always give the original extra points for being new and milestone setting and much like Star Wars, saw at theater in 77 and still think it’s the best out of the entire franchise, even better than Empire which was great , but Star Wars 77 about farm boy defeats the empire was so great , also Ripley in Alien was such a boss with the crew, of course she dominates in Aliens , love both seen many times, thanks again y’all!
I totally agree that Alien is a master piece and that comparisons between it and Aliens are nearly meaningless. And Ripley is the bossest boss who ever bossed!
Saw Avatar the original in 3D on the big screen 3 times and loved every experience, great movie in my opinion
Saw Alien at the drive in 79 and then Aliens in the theater and I always say to this day that Aliens is the most exciting movie I ever saw in at the theater, the movie is great and that music is so exciting, thanks!
Can you please review the Malayalam film 2018. Its base on devastating real flood that hit the south indian state Kerala in 2018. It was worst floods in almost 90 year. Currently 2018 movie is successfully running in cinema theatres
*Bahubali 1 and 2 is my favorite movie of all time. I Love RRR so much but I love Bahubali more.*
*Actually the whole concept of Avatar and Elements is taken from India into west and also anime so in upcoming "Mahabharat" Movie of SS.Rajamouli probly u will see all Elemental Avatars.*
*I wish U make Bahubali review plz.*
If I remember right, Weird Al had a part in one episode of Galavant as well - though I guess that isn’t a movie!
I just landed at this podcast, courtesy to the algorithms. I do like podcasts which has genuine conversations so I stayed and it was really pleasant. However, I must address this for you guys. Your reaction views blew up because you touched an Indian subject. Especially, being a Westerner, Indians will definitely watch it to understand your perspective. Perhaps, your subscriptions and view will keep building exponentially if your content stays Indian but if that's not your intention (frankly it shouldn't be) then you might start putting a heads up in your videos so that you retain only genuine subscribers instead of the Indian wave. Please dont let your subscribers decide your views. Secondly and more importantly, as an Indian I must apologize for the behavior inflicted in your inbox. This is something you'll need to ignore because this will never ever change with the Indian audiences. You'll always have tons of them in the inbox. I know it's an inaccurate and poor representation but there's a logic to it. Internet in India is dirt cheap. A farmer in remote part of india might not have basic essentials but will have a smartphone and internet. It's that cheap. So your audience is also tons of those people who just spend their time on internet doing things like these. There's a huge segment of such crowd and they also make huge crunch of digital India. Let's say in 100% of Indian audiences, 10% are them and our 10% is lot more than your 10% in population. 90% of us might listen, like your videos, some might subscribe and just move on. The more enthusiastic ones might comment in public domain videos and those 10% ones will only show up in your inbox. That's a hazard of social media in populated countries like us. Frankly, you guys are talented but even if you weren't, Indian content is just a simple cheat code used by millions of youtubers and it's okay because it still builds a good narration towards India, however it definitely has it's hazards so please stay wise and safe and let not the trolls build an idea of a typical Indian. A lot of us are pretty much still following the same dharma of the main characters in this movie. Oh having spoken of the movie, this movie is told from multiple perspectives. Some of them are eminent like the elements, historical setups etc, there are subtle story mirroring from ancient epic like Ramayana. The whole 'rescue Ram' act is retelling of a part of Ramayana, where Bheem is represented by God Hanumaan. Also, interestingly Bheem name is taken from Mahabharata, where he was said to have strength of thousand elephants. Hence the super power element comes to Bheem from that perspective. What's even crazier is that Hanuman was also there in Mahabharata (he is immortal) as a guru of Bheem before the battle. Similarly, Ram represents and very literally represents Lord Rama in the climax. Hanuman is a huge devotee of Lord Rama, hence there is a little brother's aura around Bheem when he is with Ram There are tons of symbolism and frankly they are better than easter egg concept but I'm tired of writing. I haven't typed so long for a while.. If not me, my fingers gonna die now......
