with the joke at the end at first i started laughing which turned to smiling awkwardly, and then genuine discomfort and then panic when he wouldn't stop looking at me
I would love to see a video about movies that “play it too safe.” I like the sentiment of the phrase but would love a more in depth exploration on why and how those movies are like that
Its exactly what it says it is. The movies couldve done more, had they gone into the very clear direction that couldve said something, but due to the nature of what could be said, they just try to play it safe.

I have been watching Karsten videos pretty consistently for the past year or so and every monthly update video he always says “you guys know me, I’m a huge fan of (insert director or actor I haven’t heard of)”.
As an Algerian fan of you Karsten, from Algiers, it's a pleasure that you enjoyed Battle of Algiers. It is certainly a revolutionary movie that all of us Algerians are very proud of it.
Love lies bleeding was amazing. For me the awkwardness of Kristen made so much sense in relation to her character. Also the soundtrack and sound design was phenomenal.
I got to watch End of Evangelion in theaters this month and it was the best thing that's ever happened to me. The visuals and the animation on the big screen were obviously amazing but the thing I wasn't expecting was the SOUND! It was so loud that it shook the seats. And hearing Komm Susser Tod on theater speakers was surreal. Incredible. I still can't believe they finally brought it over. They should show it in IMAX next time
@@Frijolero18 both the screenings I went to were PACKED! and they ended up extending the release a few extra days, so hopefully the overwhelming success will encourage them to make it a semi-annual thing like ghibli-fest
I'm a bit late but here's what I watched, Kung Fu Panda (9/10) - _A childhood favorite of mine that still holds up incredibly well. Stellar art direction, good characters, amazing fights and a great soundtrack, it's way better than most people realise._ Kung Fu Panda 2 (8.5/10) - _Although not quite a well paced as the first one, it's still a great sequel that expands the world and gives a much needed emotional background to Po. Also, Lord Shen is the best villian in the franchise/series._ Kung Fu Panda 3 (7.5/10) - _The movie relies a bit too much on plot convenience and lacks the sense of urgency until like the last 30 minutes. The fights aren't all that memorable either which is a bummer. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it quite a bit and it has some really good individual moments sprinkled in._ Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Season 1 (9.5/10) - _It takes an unique concept and turns it into a profound and thought-provoking experience that I haven't felt in a while. If you're looking for a great traditional fantasy then this is a must watch._ Shōgun episodes 1-7 (8.5/10) - _I got around watching it solely based on the positive reception it got and so far it's really good. The production values and set pieces are off the charts, the cinematography is beautiful and the performances are great especially Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai. Only three more episodes left to go and if all goes well it has the potential to be an all timer, only time will tell._ Alright! That's it. See you next month.
I remember loving Dunston Checks In as a kid. I would rewatch it every day as a child along with other movies like Napoleon Dynamite or Twister for example. (Speaking of Twister hopefully Twisters is good but nothing will top the original)

Didn't watch a lot this past month. Started with American Fiction. I thought it was kinda messy but very enjoyable and funny. I don't think it exactly deserved the oscar but I don't think it didn't either. Good movie. Next I watched Dune Part 1, which I had completely avoided until now because I didn't want to have to wait for Part 2. I enjoyed it, though I did feel kinda lost at points. I wasn't exactly in the right mindset when I watched it, should probably rewatch it at some point. Lastly, I rewatched Oppenheimer, which still holds up on repeat viewings. Still impressive that a 3 hour biopic surrounding WWII is one of my favorite movies from last year, nothing about that is the kinda stuff I generally like

I watched this video on my tv, which not only made it difficult to switch off when you stared into my soul but it also made it impossible for me to leave this comment so I had to open my fuckign phone app to say The fact mubi signed off on the ad roll coming after the awkward stare down makes me wanna check them out way more than the pre roll ad
I watched Dunston Checks In 4 times in a row on the DVD player in my parents car as we always did driving holidays when I was a kid. They got it out of the bargain bin at Blockbusters. I cherished it, whilst I'm sure it drove them insane.
Your ability to write down a concise review of a Kurosawa movie in one minute is seriously amazing. I tried writing down a criticism of any Kurosawa movie I watched and I myself feel like my review gets bloated and comes off pretentious. Inspiring man, thanks.
Probably the best things I saw in March were when I saw all five Indiana Jones movies in a theatre week to week and I also watched The Remains of the Day (1993) and really loved it.
This may be a weird suggestion, but if you liked Cailín Ciúin Karsten, I seriously recommend the short film Cáca Milis ("Cake"), its free on youtube with our dear lord Brendan Gleeson praise be. Any exposure to Irish film is much needed exposure, and after my country's education system forcing this upon my poor traumatised eyes, I would like to find some way of coping by spreading that trauma to the rest of the world. Its great, and so is this video, great work as always 😌👍
Love 'The Conversation'. My favourite Coppola film. Love your channel. Just one quality of life suggestion. It would be good if you added the year the film was released. It helps for the films we haven't see to have that context. Loves x
I fell asleep watching this and immediately woke up when you started staring at the camera so I was just watching you stare at me with no context. That's all I have to say.

"King Kong's Bra" isn't something I ever thought I'd see in a Karsten video. Out of context it's probably funnier than anything in the actual movie tho
bummed you didnt talk about lord shen in kung fu panda 2. honestly stands tall next to tai lung and i think makes the second one really on par with the first
If you haven’t already, you should check out some of Jean-Pierre Melville’s filmography. Le Cercle Rouge is my personal favorite and has one of the best heists ever put to screen.
I watched: mysterious skin (5/5) american history x (3.5) dune part 2 (twice) (5/5) la la land (4/5) the hood, the bad and the ugly (4.5/5) pride and prejudice (4/5) inglorious bastards (4.5/5)

Loved what you had to say about Punch Drunk Love. It’s my favorite movie ever made, and you somehow find ways to express and verbalize things I struggle to understand or say myself. Great video!

I was so glad I was watching in 2x speed I don’t think I could have handled it any longer than I did lolol
I would love to see a video about movies that “play it too safe.” I like the sentiment of the phrase but would love a more in depth exploration on why and how those movies are like that
yes! that idea really fascinated me
that is an absolutely brillant idea. the epidemic of movies with potential had they not played in safe
anyone but you
Its exactly what it says it is. The movies couldve done more, had they gone into the very clear direction that couldve said something, but due to the nature of what could be said, they just try to play it safe.
Good Idea
someone has said this before, but its crazy how much i use these videos to track the passing of the time over the course of each year

"NEEDED A SHOWER AFTER WATCHING THIS ONE"
Is my new letterboxd list.
gonna make it mine too
Visitor Q is a must for that
Funny, during that intense starring contest at the end, I noticed the LEGO Starry Night in the background. That’s neat.
same, I also noticed the bonsai tree on the right
I didn't notice a thing; ive never looked at someone in the eyes so long in my life (if i look away then karsten wins)
My POE (principals of engineering) teacher has both of those sets lmfao
May December on loop for the entire month of March is not healthy my dude.
Sounds like bloody torture.
you gotta give Blue Eye Samurai and Arcane a try-I feel like both of those shows would be an enjoyable watch for you at the least
im too high, the ending ad scared me way too much please apologise
Thanks for warning me, was scrolling trough the comments high af.
the ending was riveting , really captured the experience of what it feels like to be a movie being watched by Karsten Runquist .
That ending was deeply uncomfortable, I love it lol
I have been watching Karsten videos pretty consistently for the past year or so and every monthly update video he always says “you guys know me, I’m a huge fan of (insert director or actor I haven’t heard of)”.
Damn Karsten i didnt expect to have my soul violated for 30 whole seconds at the end there
As an Algerian fan of you Karsten, from Algiers, it's a pleasure that you enjoyed Battle of Algiers. It is certainly a revolutionary movie that all of us Algerians are very proud of it.
Love lies bleeding was amazing. For me the awkwardness of Kristen made so much sense in relation to her character. Also the soundtrack and sound design was phenomenal.
The transitions in Drive Away Dolls were a total pain to look at.
Yeah they tried to be quirky and different but they were just hideous
The transitions I actually liked made it feel it was from the 90s
Disagree.
@@griffinrogerss ok, enjoy the power point transitions
Worst movies I’ve seen of 2024
I got to watch End of Evangelion in theaters this month and it was the best thing that's ever happened to me. The visuals and the animation on the big screen were obviously amazing but the thing I wasn't expecting was the SOUND! It was so loud that it shook the seats. And hearing Komm Susser Tod on theater speakers was surreal. Incredible. I still can't believe they finally brought it over. They should show it in IMAX next time
bro the scene where the big rei falls apart and eva 01 comes out her eye and the brass crescendos BROOOOO IT WAS SO GOOOD
@@rexagon I feel like we've been robbed for 20 years not being able to see the movie as intended. It was MADE for theaters
So mad at myself for missing my chance to see it on the big screen. Hopefully GKIDS puts it into their regular cinema rotation
@@Frijolero18 both the screenings I went to were PACKED! and they ended up extending the release a few extra days, so hopefully the overwhelming success will encourage them to make it a semi-annual thing like ghibli-fest
Holy shit, that must have been religious experience for you, I'm so jealous we don't have it in theatres here, it's my favourite piece of media.
I'm a bit late but here's what I watched,
Kung Fu Panda (9/10) - _A childhood favorite of mine that still holds up incredibly well. Stellar art direction, good characters, amazing fights and a great soundtrack, it's way better than most people realise._

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Season 1 (9.5/10) - _It takes an unique concept and turns it into a profound and thought-provoking experience that I haven't felt in a while. If you're looking for a great traditional fantasy then this is a must watch._
Shōgun episodes 1-7 (8.5/10) - _I got around watching it solely based on the positive reception it got and so far it's really good. The production values and set pieces are off the charts, the cinematography is beautiful and the performances are great especially Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai. Only three more episodes left to go and if all goes well it has the potential to be an all timer, only time will tell._
Alright! That's it. See you next month.

I’m so glad you finally knocked me off of your watchlist, it’s an honour.
Didn't watch a lot this past month.
Started with American Fiction. I thought it was kinda messy but very enjoyable and funny. I don't think it exactly deserved the oscar but I don't think it didn't either. Good movie.
Next I watched Dune Part 1, which I had completely avoided until now because I didn't want to have to wait for Part 2. I enjoyed it, though I did feel kinda lost at points. I wasn't exactly in the right mindset when I watched it, should probably rewatch it at some point.
Lastly, I rewatched Oppenheimer, which still holds up on repeat viewings. Still impressive that a 3 hour biopic surrounding WWII is one of my favorite movies from last year, nothing about that is the kinda stuff I generally like
the joke at the end was a classic
Hahaha, April Fools!!! You got me for a second there, Karsten!!!!! Silly guy
That Kristen Stewart in Love Lies Bleeding take was wild. She was amazing.
I agree, I did not expect him to love it as much as I did but I did not think she would be his biggest complaint
Really happy to hear you liked The Conversation!! One of my all-time favorite movies

I looped the clip of him staring, now karsten can watch movies w me
I couldn't wait for you to review "Dunston checks in"!
Just to add that it is a masterpiece of cinematography...
I got scared, I casted this on my TV, put my head down for a minute or two, put it back up to see Karsten staring into my soul.
This may be a weird suggestion, but if you liked Cailín Ciúin Karsten, I seriously recommend the short film Cáca Milis ("Cake"), its free on youtube with our dear lord Brendan Gleeson praise be. Any exposure to Irish film is much needed exposure, and after my country's education system forcing this upon my poor traumatised eyes, I would like to find some way of coping by spreading that trauma to the rest of the world. Its great, and so is this video, great work as always 😌👍
I just want you to know that i held eye contact for the whole 40 seconds. Didn't even flinch.
"Then I finished the month by watching you..." 😐
We gonna kiss now or what? 👀
That ending was perfect 😅 Had me sweating. Good on the comments for not overtly giving it away
way to show those acting chops at the end there
Love 'The Conversation'. My favourite Coppola film. Love your channel. Just one quality of life suggestion. It would be good if you added the year the film was released. It helps for the films we haven't see to have that context. Loves x
that ...... was a really good bit
Absolute W of a take on Punch-Drunk Love. Gets overlooked in PTA’s filmography but I would say that it manages to do a lote more with a lot less.
I just watched Crocodile Dundee, Havana (1990), and the nice guys back to back I’m so happy
this april fools joke stinks dude
I felt seen...
why have i started to get weirdly excited for these every month? anyone else
Really loved the part where you just stared at us
staring contest starts at 14:51
15:12 you need to take more risks on this kind of stuff. you got it, trust me!
My watchlist gets bigger everytime you post this is an exhausting cycle
Ok so never do that ad intro again!
Ending made my skin crawl Jesus Christ
Alright, liking kungfu panda 1 more than 2 is clearly the April fools joke here. It’s gotta be.
WOWW
That take on punch drunk love
Just wow
I love it
So original, danm. I love that movie
The end of this video is your best work
exact same thoughts on Drive Away Dolls...that should've been one of my fav movies of the year
Didn't think he would make a video entirely where he talks about morbias for 16 minutes on April 1
I fell asleep watching this and immediately woke up when you started staring at the camera so I was just watching you stare at me with no context.
That's all I have to say.

@@Dzagoev-v7z God no, that one doesn't have the "The" though
@@Dzagoev-v7zSuicide Squad is a 4.5 star film for me.
Ngl, that staring contest at the end kinda startled me
"King Kong's Bra" isn't something I ever thought I'd see in a Karsten video. Out of context it's probably funnier than anything in the actual movie tho
bummed you didnt talk about lord shen in kung fu panda 2. honestly stands tall next to tai lung and i think makes the second one really on par with the first
If you haven’t already, you should check out some of Jean-Pierre Melville’s filmography. Le Cercle Rouge is my personal favorite and has one of the best heists ever put to screen.
Not giving Dunston Checks In a 5/5 is a pretty good April Fools joke
Going from The Battle of Algiers to Kung Fu Panda 2 is so funny.

You should watch “Project Nim” for your Monkey Mondays. Amazing doc.
You went full-on horror movie at the end of the video...
thanks for watching me man
thanks for watching me vehicle x really appreciated
Loved what you had to say about Punch Drunk Love. It’s my favorite movie ever made, and you somehow find ways to express and verbalize things I struggle to understand or say myself. Great video!
Karsten if watching me is how you watch movies i'm kinda scared.
Personally
Past Lives walked so Robot Dreams could run and punched me in the gut
i hope karsten enjoyed watching me brush my hair
This is clearly an April Fools joke. We all know March isn't a real month.
The Battle of Algiers is often found in terrorist safe houses when they're raided... such an interesting movie
“Punk” Drunk Love.
