When I hear the movie is going to take place in the quantum realm or anything like that, I just take that as "this movie is mostly going to be a CG shitfest full of half-assed green screen."
Are you saying Angry Video Game Nerd The Movie took place in the quantum realm?
@@kimkimpa5150It took place in Asssss
"I'm starting to not really understand anybody anymore"
I feel that
I feel like Marvel movies are 10 points overrated on rotten tomatoes like there are a dozen Marvel movies that have the same score as Jaws.
The animated Adam West Batman movies from like 2014 are amazing they have the feel and style of the 60s show but you do see a bit of darkness from Adam West Batman and he really shows in those movies he could've done a more balanced batman who shows the darkness behind a lighthearted story I recommend watching them with your kids they're great for all ages
fuck that shit. lego batman is an example for a light hearted batman movie which is good.
I could be wrong, but I would think that teenagers would be a really tough demographic to get into the theater these days, which should set off panic bells for the movie industry. My kids are young teens and they sincerely don't care about movies. They are much more into interactive media, like video games. Movies are too passive of a medium. They do like anime, though...
Ehh it makes sense. What movies truly are for teenagers? There’s not much exciting or new for the younger generations
@@lazypugfilms I think it was during RedLetterMedia's vid on Ghostbusters Afterlife, they made a great point about how there is too much modern film/tv geared towards nostalgia and older audiences, which has an alienating effect on younger audiences. There needs to be a concerted effort to create new franchises, but first the film industry (and the audience as well) has to be willing to let go of the older ones.
anime is also a big one because it’s exiting, tells unique and original stories (unlike rebooting the same old shit), and is constantly attention grabbing with short, fast-paced, digestible episodes
@@underwaterlevelz1947 they should just do both audiences, why choose
@@holdingpattern245 because the modern studio business model is exclusively reliant on financing a handful of $100 million films each year and as long as one of them is a megahit, the studio makes money. They can only afford to finance "safe bets"
Is EJ the grown up little kid that Alan Grant scared the shit out of in the first Jurassic Park?
Yes. I am the dream child.
@@RedCowArcade HAHA I knew it...I see freddy has affected you in your (our?) advanced age
That kid still looks odd. He showed up in Raising Hope as a semi adult. Guy is still the same size
This sort of misguided criticism can also been seen in creators critiquing their own work, such as when making youtube videos. Making these sort of excuses for your own work can really hold you back from getting better.
Great channel, thanks! Usual story, came for avgn analysis, stayed for the good conversations and general insights. Early congrats on hitting 10K :)
The YT algorithm keeps recommending Elvis The Alien to me and I don't like his content at all. And just for this reason, his movie reviews are so substance-less and he doesn't appear to understand film making or film terminology in general. His most viewed video is the Son of the Mask review, and he opens by saying that the original The Mask movie was a "cult classic"... The Mask made its budget back 20 times over, it was a smash success and couldn't be any further from the definition of "Cult Classic". I guess his channel appeals to kids that know even less than he does, and that's a lot of babies.
...Ok, rant over. I just want YT to stop recommending that BORING channel to me.
Frankie is really good. He needs a Siskel to his Ebertism. EJ is too chill, background guy, he's holding Frankie back.
As a young person, I would almost never go to the theater, last movie I went to was Napoleon.
It was grounded with its 100 year old super soldier and norse god
I really don't like the criticism given to the SW sequels. A lot of the criticisms of it are personal BS or cry for nostalgia.
The whole "Palpatine has somehow returned" Is the weakest argument you could make. Somehow Obiwan returned in ESB, somehow Anakin/Vader and Yoda returned after their deaths in Return of the Jedi, somehow boba fett has returned and somehow maul has returned, and somehow Qui gon returns.
Why criticize it for doing something the other films did. C'mon.
When things stop making sense across the board... for years, you're either completely out of touch or shit is just being misrepresented, wholesale.
I’m 32 now. I have no desire to go to the movie theater. I like being able to pause a movie if needed, and make jokes and bullshit. That’s how I enjoy watching movies. Hard to do that in a cramped theater.
This Modok looks like a guy in a costume
A costume you wear for halloween
Normally modok look angry has veins all over his face This modok looks like a april fools joke
I think the real issue is everyone wants a movie to be good or bad and 90% of movies are just ok, 5/10s
The Brave and the Bold was the really good light hearted Batman.
The Lego Batman movie is a great lighthearted batman movie.
Troubleshooting a creative endeavor is an interesting challenge. Obviously Disney and Marvel are their own things, but just speaking from my limited personal experience, I'm co-composing music for a fan project and I work with the editor/project lead for it. We're on the same page 95% of the time, but that other 5%, I've found that it's best when a track isn't working to ask why he feels it isn't working--what aspect of it feels off for the scene--rather than try to compose by committee. Occasionally he'll suggest adding a specific instrument or he'll literally hum a version of the track that's a little more basic than what I've written and I'll work with that. If we don't have those specifics, it's often better to get a clear explanation as to what emotion isn't being conveyed, or if the track feels too "busy," or whatever else. Even internally, that's often the best kind of feedback because it puts me in front of my own project with a specific thing to troubleshoot.
It's sort of the same with incorporating audience feedback. The audience disagrees with something, and that's its prerogative. But if you want it improved, it's more effective to explain the rationale for why you dislike or disagree with something. On that same project, we've gotten (polite, constructive) critiques occasionally on things, and especially when the comments explain the rationale, we'll look at it and be mindful of the criticism to the extent it's valid as we keep going forward. We've certainly taken steps to incorporate aspects of audience feedback from time to time, and it's helped the project. You don't necessarily want to invite the audience directly into the creative process, but it's also important to be mindful of constructive feedback that can improve on future creative efforts.
Frankie got the Bimmy o face going lol
The bar for movies is so low now that people go and watch a film because it features some boots which they like. It's tragic really. Same happened to music. Both are now aimed at the lowest common denominator.
Most films and music were always aimed at that. It’s just that the lowest common denominator has gotten even lower
@@YungM.D. You're not wrong, but compare the compositions of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven with contemporary music. Obviously, there's a giant gap between the two (one can for example compare the complexity of compositions, we basically now have music which is about as complex as rural children's music used to be in the 1600s). It's undeniable that music and movies have been massively dumbed down in the last decades. I mean the highest grossing movies today would literally have been seen as idiotic B movies back in the 1950s.
@@YungM.D. If the lowest common denominator has gotten even lower, it means peopIe in general are getting... well... let's be nice and just say Iess inteIIigent. And that's both sad and scary.
"Porno" is a really fun word to say, isn't it? S-tier for sure, up there with "pickle"!
the one thing a marketer can never say is "the movie is bad and you should make it more good", they have to focus on the superficial nonsense, and marketers have been dictating a lot of this stuff for a while now
I am the audience that liked quantumania, the Meg, and moonfall. I watched all 3 of these movies with my young son who I play with action figures with. The data should be released, but yeah, it's mostly nostalgic dad's that go to the theater I think.
Doesn't that nostalgia ever die out though? I mean I had enough of Hollywood's constant attempts at member-berry me after having seen Star Trek 2009 (I didn't see the rest), Hobbit Unexpected Journey (didn't see the rest), and finally Force Awakens (again, didn't see the rest). They had three attempts to make me to stay, and all of them were disappointing to the point where I didn't feel any urge whatsoever to keep eating the pig slop. How many more chances will you give them, and more importantly... why? What is that high that you're trying to chase?
@@kimkimpa5150 I think you are misplacing the usage of the word nostalgia if you assume I'm going just to see old friends or franchises, it's more a pursuit of a time and place in my life. It's nice to not be critical and go back to the old theater and just be 8 yrs old again and enjoy the fireworks.
@@kurtshastany1945 In other words, you find it compelling because it is laid out in such a way as to make you not having to think?
@@kimkimpa5150 I think enjoying myself is compelling, it's not that I don't think, but I'm able to easily assess products, be they food, music film etc and determine where and how to have my expectations. Going to the theater now, with my adult income is the equivalent of turning on the radio or renting a film in 1987. It's inconsequential if it's good, but it's a core memory for my child, wrap it with popcorn during and a burger after and it really never sucks
The ticket price argument is also a purely cosmetic surface level non argument. When the base level standard of the societal average wage is raised, the costs of living all across the board raises in turn and therefore, everything adjusts and settles as it were before, just with the illusion either side actually changed or had any effect. Cause and effect. One causes the other effect but in this case, the scales switch one way, then back the other way in response to finally then balance out and settle in the middle again. Like when fast food workers demand they raise minimum wage because they can't live on the current minimum wage amount. So they raise minimum wage. But when they raise minimum wage, fast food companies now have to make up revenue for paying out higher incomes, so they raise menu prices as a result to compensate the financial hit and stay in business by still turning a profit. So,the minimum wage raise is merely an empty gesture, a shallow symbolic act that's actually pointless and not ironically, shines the harsh light of reality on why these people are stuck working minimum wage jobs. The mistake as a society we make is pandering to these intellectually challenged people and not telling them when and why they're being uninformed misguided morons. I like guy on the right"s points and examples and spot on analogies.
Did the Kevin Smith video get pulled?
Yeah, Smodco made me take it down because of some of the clips I used. I’ll upload a fresh copy soon.
@@RedCowArcade Ugh! Sorry to hear that happened, your commentary was SPOT ON! Will be on the lookout for the re-upload.
@@RedCowArcade i just noticed that as well, sorry man. is it possible to just snip out the offending parts so you don't lose the metadata? youtube's in built editor in YT Studio is good for that!
@@OSW Yeah? I'll check it out!
Thanks again for the suggestion, that was perfect.
Why watch western movies that have creative direction dictated by the people that fund them and not the artists? I've given up on most of it and been watching anime and while japenese media has its issues and tropes I've come across some of the most passionate shows and movies I've ever seen. It's like I'm rediscovering film! Go watch these trash marvel movies or go watch something like a silent voice and its no wonder teens these days gravitate towards anime and not marvel film. It's very disappointing.
There's something in western media that seeks pure material escapism and doesn't wanna touch some real human topics or anything that doesn't paint a perfect commercial image.
That is a very good point, and its a big reason why i hope we never see Japanese culture get corrupted by gaijin.
@@underwaterlevelz1947 seriously some of the stuff I've seen has been so introspective and moving. I don't wanna dismiss all western film but it's been a while since I've felt anything from the western stuff
@@k-ondoomer My boy really liked Arcane (though he says it isn't really an anime in the traditional sense) and Naruto and my daughter likes Demon Slayer and Hunter X Hunter. I did watch alot of Arcane and it was awesome.
@@underwaterlevelz1947 I'm more into stuff like grave of the fire flies, madoka magica , violet evergarden and neon genesis evangelion ( og 90s series). I haven't gotten too much into the popular stuff like demon slayer but the animation is on point
@@k-ondoomer i remember grave of the fireflies, i watched that one a long time ago. Heartbreaking stuff.
I liked lightyear, but it was definitely not for most people. It was just a semi-grounded pop Sci-fi film with a cartoon bent. Really nice if you're into that
You guys nailed this topic. Keep it up🤙🏼🤙🏼
4:30 are you guys serious?? Cmon that part was pretty good. I have been extremely critical of all of the new star wars garbage but I actually thought that part was great. I remember thinking it was extremely well done, seamless, and believable as luke. Way better than the stupid camel milk grumpy outcast from the last jedi, and aesthetically way better than the luke scene from Mandalorian season 2 episode where his face really did look glitchy and unnatural. Id love to know if other people here agree or disagree with that since i think a lot of red cow fans have film/video experience and i do not. Reply to this with your thoughts.
I am gonna go back and watch it again tonight and edit my comment if I am wrong.
Update: I went back and watched it again. I am going to maintain that it was good. Visually it was quite convincing. I watched alot of the shots over and over and yes there was the occasional awkward/unnatural eye or mouth movement but you had to be looking pretty close for it to be noticed let alone bothersome. Maybe im wrong. But then I realized that the main reason I enjoyed the scene originally was not just because it looked like luke but also because it really just felt and sounded like a slightly more mature, post return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker. Some of my favorite shows have bad or outdated visuals such as South Park and Star Trek TNG but I really don't care about this. I care so much more about the dialogue and characters and I think that this Star Wars scene is good from that perspective. Would love to hear others thoughts on this.
They did a great job, and yet, watch it back to back with a human Mark Hamill performance. The difference is startling. We ain’t there yet.
I love Last Jedi, its one of the best Star Wars movie and i will die on that hill. Solo was weird, it wasnt bad but it was more Fast and Furious in space than star wars which what i think went wrong
Wtf
Last Jedi was the best of the new Star Wars sequels. Also all the problems people have with TLJ was because of what JJ set up and wouldn't allow Johnson to do.
