Hollywood executives should be legally allowed to install James Bond-style trap doors over shark tanks in their offices so that when someone walks in and says "let's make a serious horror movie called The Bye-bye Man," they can be quickly and efficiently destroyed.
Daniel Williams lol that's a pretty good idea, but to be fair, half the time it's the Hollywood executives imposing these stupid ideas on writers who bring them decent scripts.
That made me think of a scene from Family Guy. Which made me think of a similar scene The Simpsons did a few years earlier. Which made me think of South Park
The librarian didn't murder her whole family due to the supernatural influence of the Bye Bye Man... no, what made her snap was those darn kids scribbling out keywords in the archives.
During the car scene with "Bye Bye Love" on the radio, they should have had him switch channels only to find more "bye-bye" related songs, like N-Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" and Mariah Carey's "Bye Bye".

"This movie tries to gaslight you into thinking its central baddie is actually well-thought-out (and is, presumably, worthy of sequels that God willing won't happen), when really it's the most generic crap, both in terms of substance and character design." ^a positive review of Bye Bye Man on Rotten Tomatoes. No, I'm serious. Someone wrote this and then went on to rate it fresh.
Some more of that "positive" review: "That’s my face when I force myself to think about the shitsack horrorbortion that is The Bye Bye Man for more than three seconds at a stretch" "The Bye Bye Man just doesn’t know what the fuck, OK? None of this movie makes any sense." "Here is an abridged list of things in The Bye Bye Man that are stupid:" "The Bye Bye Man: not even once. I need a drink." Oh, and here's pretty much the only positive thing in it: "The part of the movie where the Beebs is driving his victims slowly bats isn’t terrible compared to the rest of the film. [...] The characters may be cardboard, Cressida Bonas may be an absolutely terrible actress, and Douglas Smith may be a bargain basement version of Charlie Heaton from Stranger Things and Shut In, who is in turn a discount version of Dane DeHaan, but at least there are some intermittent scares." And that's a "positive" review.
+NDfor SPDadsdas Yes I agree. But it's also the fault of the critic. If that's what you have to say about the movie and you give it something like a 6/10, I'm sorry, but you're a shit critic.
My plot for SCRATCH SCRATCH Okay...so there was a bullying incident in junior high where some mean girls made some nice girl drink a lot of alcohol (they called her "Ratchet" instead of her given name "Rachel", which then got shortened to "Ratch"), then they locked her in a trunk for the lulz. The nice girl had a panic attack inside the trunk, hyperventilated, and she died. In her panicked state, she tried to claw her way out before she died. 25 years later, the mean girls are mothers to mean junior high girls when one of those girls dies. The moms are having a Facebook conversation about it when an anonymous user posts the following: SCRATCH SCRATCH WHO'S THAT RATCH? ONE MORE WHISKEY DOWN THE HATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH LOCK THE LATCH ONE MORE DEAD GIRL FROM YOUR SNATCH It's Rachel, back to kill the daughters of her tormentors, then the tormentors themselves. BOOM, there it is. Mike and Jay, you owe me royalties.
Isn't there an actual horror movie where the twist is the parents locked a girl in a trunk and she died? I swear that was a thing I watched at some point...
I don't know about you guys, but I would watch that fricking movie. Probably not a theatrical release, but some kind of "Masters of Horror" type thing or a Direct-to-DVD movie on a "Fright Night" boxset.
Mike and Jay misspoke when they said it was about family. It's about a top half darthmaul with robot legs fighting a bottom half darthmaul with a spider robot top and Obi Wan in the middle.
Mike stosklaska, jay bauman, and rich Evans are gods of UA-cam thank you guys so much for what you do you have helped me through so many time of struggle 1000 blessings to each of you guys seriously RLM is a dynasty
The lack of musical numbers in the middle suppose to symbolise their crisis in their relationships and also describe losing of a dream. So it worked for me personally. For me personally.
I had almost the exact same problems you guys did with La La Land originally. My suggestion, watch it again. The tonal shifts are part of what makes this movie incredible in my opinion. It's about these two people who have an almost cliched Hollywood romance, but get brought back down to earth in the end.
the thing at 9:42 about how the musicality clashes with the character driven content... that actually really worked for me in the intent of the makers. The film keeps creating romanticized scenarios and slapping you in the face with reality; the same way LA does to artists.
SPOILER ALERT: I wonder what they would think about the twist, and how there is ANOTHER superhero franchise brewing. I love Unbreakable, so I'm exited, but I'm sure Mike and Jay are getting a little tired of all the superhero crap.
"I would rather fraudulently marry an elderly man than have anyone think im a homophobe" is the most subtle and insightful commentary I have ever seen. These guys are amazing.
i loved how the la la land review brought out jay and mike's individual tastes. jay seems to be a bit more cynical to it, in wanting movies that go above and beyond to elevate to artistic and technical levels to a degree of extreme. while mikes a little more down to earth. with focus on emotion and heart.
@SLAMO A Toronto resident slung shit at at least five students from three different Toronto-based universities in about as many days. Students began to dub him the pee pee poo poo man as like a coping mechanism
'Scratch Scratch, Who's That Ratch?' is a great title, i might steal if for my film idea, which is a 90 minute horror film composed entirely of jump scares.The plot will be family move into a haunted home, and that will be it, but made entirely of jump scares. Might even throw an old woman living in the walls into it as well.
I really think Ryan Gosling nailed the part. There's nothing more sarcasm-inducing than being a jazz musician in Los Angeles having to make music you hate in order to make a living. I also agree with Mike in the sense that the film is the perfect terminal cynicism antidote
I'd encourage anybody that wouldn't normally be into musicals to give this film a shot. While Mike and Jay's critiques are all fair, Jay in particular tends to be fairly cynical (which is obviously fine, that's his taste, I'm just saying that I knew he wouldn't enjoy this film as much as many other people), so maybe this film wasn't made for him. But this movie touched me on an emotional level more than I think any film ever has. I'm not currently a musician, I'm not from L.A, I didn't feel any romantic sentimentality because of anything like that. This film is just fucking beautiful. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are truly breathtaking. Courageous performances from both. The score is legendary I believe and will go down in history, the screenplay absolutely out of this world. I have never been a big musicals fan, I find them cringe worthy a lot of the time, but this was so emotionally charging. I felt every emotion throughout this film and left with a smile on my face and I haven't stopped listening to the score since. Whatever your typical movie preference you cannot miss this one. Some may believe I'm overstating this film but it honestly has stuck with me since I watched it about a week ago. I just wanna see it again, I definitely will be doing. (p.s Ryan Gosling is now the starring role in about 3 of my favourite films of all time; Drive, The Place Beyond The Pines and now this. He's even fantastic in The Big Short. I wanna see The Nice Guys too, that looks great. He's fucking brilliant.) Also Emma Stone is my favourite actress by far, she best get an Oscar for this
I really enjoyed that movie too. For a moment, it warmed my cold, cynical, jaded piece of shit heart, and that's quite the achievement. But mostly I liked it because it managed to emphasize the duality of LA/Hollywood, highlighting both the forlorn longing evoked through its mystic glamor as well as the plastic fakeness underlying it.
Might as well post my Best of 2016 here: 1) La La Land 2) Manchester by the Sea 3) Moonlight 4) 20th Century Women 5) Silence 6) The Handmaiden 7) Paterson 8) Arrival 9) Everybody Wants Some!! 10) The Lobster 11) The Neon Demon 12) Nocturnal Animals 13) American Honey 14) Hunt for the Wilderpeople 15) Elle 16) The Mermaid
I've been a RLM watcher for a while and this is the one video that i find myself coming back to the most. Finally i decided to watch La La Land the other day and ended up liking it a lot! It is a bit grounded but the ending really elevated it. Thank you RLM, without this video i probably wouldn't even think of checking it. I didn't like Grease 2 though
La La Land has a bittersweet tone throughout that I'm surprised didn't resonate with these guys. Some of my favorite art and music finds joy and nobility in life's struggles and losing battles. I love this movie.
Having now watched La La Land, I think the contrasting elements you guys mention were intentional and I guess it comes down to a question of whether they work. I didn't end up feeling greatly emotionally connected while watching most of the time, but I had a sort of weird aftertaste effect where it slowly grew in my mind after watching it and I started spam-listening to the music from the movie and singing along to it. I think it's one of those movies where it might actually undersell itself a bit on the first viewing, but will last the test of time and repeat viewings. There are elements to it that you're probably going to miss the first time around; like someone pointed out to me that the way the seasons pass mimics the "seasons" of their relationship. I think knowing what the ending is going to be would impact how it plays emotionally on a repeat viewing, too. Probably would make the whole thing seem a bit more fragile, which is what I think they were going for; this idea that there's the hollywood glamour, but beneath it, there's some pretty dark and heavy emotional stuff going on. Which I think fits with what Jay noticed about the lighting in the first number. This contrast between light and dark, between whimsy and trauma. It's almost like the whole movie is built around this idea that the world has a magical side to it, but that the magical side may be more of a happy dream, almost drug-like, than it is a reflection of reality. It fits with the little I've experienced in the world of the performing arts. That everyone is sort of putting aside reality to put on a show, but they're also drawing from reality to perform, and there's this strange bleed-over effect sometimes, where you aren't quite sure whether being a performer is a craft or a part of your identity.
I had the exact opposite reaction you had to it. I loved it the first time I saw it, went to it 3 times in theaters, and every subsequent viewing I like it a little less. It has not stuck with me at all.
Is 'Mike and Jay review 2 movies that have been out for a while because the titles sound funny when you say them together' replacing best of the worst?
I almost dropped my bowl of cereal at Mike's reaction to Emma Watson almost being in La La Land Really though, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were excellently paired
Glad I revisited this review three years after it was posted so I could hear the phrase "uncooked meatloaf in dog form." If it was a higher-profile movie, that could almost warrant a t-shirt.
I watched Bye Bye Man on Netflix the other day because this review had me curious. They're not wrong with it lowering the bar, it feels like it was written on heavy sedatives. The Bye Bye Man, his Resident Evil dog, the coins and the train are never explained and all turn up intermittently like the screenwriters kept forgetting about bits of their own lore. My favourite scene came in the aftermath of the girl getting hit by the train (though comically warning train driver deserves an MVP). The lead actor is there for it, then it jumps to night time with numerous police cars and ambulances hanging around with sirens blaring. Then the other two young actors turn up and only then does the lead tell them what happened to their friend. They are completely shocked, having made no assumptions about the comically massive crime scene they've just wandered into. Also Carrie-Anne Moss is present, giving off massive Denise Crosby vibes. Seriously, it makes Jeepers Creepers look like fucking art. That film might have been generic and uninspired but at least it felt like it was made by sentient human beings. That's how low Bye Bye Man has set the bar.
This has to be HANDS-down my favorite halfinthebag review (fan since 2011) I’ve watched this one at least a thousand times (no joke) and it gets me EVERYTIME thanks guys 👍

Might even throw an old woman living in the walls into it as well.
I really think Ryan Gosling nailed the part. There's nothing more sarcasm-inducing than being a jazz musician in Los Angeles having to make music you hate in order to make a living. I also agree with Mike in the sense that the film is the perfect terminal cynicism antidote
I can't wait when Susan makes out with Mr Plinkett
Did Bye Bye Man have something to do with Faye Dunaway reading the best picture as La La Land?
The entire “bye bye man, la la land, don’t think it don’t say it” brings me back to this video every other week
I'd encourage anybody that wouldn't normally be into musicals to give this film a shot. While Mike and Jay's critiques are all fair, Jay in particular tends to be fairly cynical (which is obviously fine, that's his taste, I'm just saying that I knew he wouldn't enjoy this film as much as many other people), so maybe this film wasn't made for him. But this movie touched me on an emotional level more than I think any film ever has. I'm not currently a musician, I'm not from L.A, I didn't feel any romantic sentimentality because of anything like that. This film is just fucking beautiful. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are truly breathtaking. Courageous performances from both. The score is legendary I believe and will go down in history, the screenplay absolutely out of this world. I have never been a big musicals fan, I find them cringe worthy a lot of the time, but this was so emotionally charging. I felt every emotion throughout this film and left with a smile on my face and I haven't stopped listening to the score since.
Whatever your typical movie preference you cannot miss this one. Some may believe I'm overstating this film but it honestly has stuck with me since I watched it about a week ago. I just wanna see it again, I definitely will be doing.
(p.s Ryan Gosling is now the starring role in about 3 of my favourite films of all time; Drive, The Place Beyond The Pines and now this. He's even fantastic in The Big Short. I wanna see The Nice Guys too, that looks great. He's fucking brilliant.) Also Emma Stone is my favourite actress by far, she best get an Oscar for this
La la land more like trashhhggggvbhhhhhhhhh. I'm not lonely
I read the first part of this and really expected it to be a long setup for recommending ByeByeMan.
I really enjoyed that movie too. For a moment, it warmed my cold, cynical, jaded piece of shit heart, and that's quite the achievement. But mostly I liked it because it managed to emphasize the duality of LA/Hollywood, highlighting both the forlorn longing evoked through its mystic glamor as well as the plastic fakeness underlying it.
The idea of kissing Plinkett is scarier then entirety of Bye Bye Man.
What if I said Bi Bi Man? Does the Bye Bye Man know the difference?
BrokamaGay Bye Bimen
Yes, because in other languages you pronounce that as Bee Bee Man!! :P
~he's trying to get inside of us~
Or if you say "buh-bye man."
"i'm Bi, Bi man. And you?" Then all hell breaks loose. But, the TWIST -- it's just some homophobe living in the walls!!!
Did the Bye Bye Man make Faye Dunaway announce the wrong best picture winner at the Oscars?
nlabonte That was actually Emma Stone
“And the Oscar goes to...”
*Don’t think it, don’t say it, don’t think it, don’t say it*
“La La Land!”
The Bye Bye Man appears if you say La La Land was overrated.
Are you guys teasing us with that "Day the clown cried" video tape pointing at us?

Where's "The Bye Bye Man"?
cthulhu Pthagn Sorry that he didn't pick all blockbusters.

I'm surprised there wasn't any reference to the NSYNC song: "Bye Bye Bye" lol
OhYeahNice it should've been playing every time the bye bye man showed up
I've been a RLM watcher for a while and this is the one video that i find myself coming back to the most. Finally i decided to watch La La Land the other day and ended up liking it a lot! It is a bit grounded but the ending really elevated it. Thank you RLM, without this video i probably wouldn't even think of checking it.
I didn't like Grease 2 though
ENDLESS CASH!
i have friends for 44 minutes yay
I'll be your friend 👌
Hilarious and original!
am i right???
also lala land sucks
Never heard that one before! Are you sure you don't want to make an "is this replacing" joke too?!
"That's just f*cking crazy! I don't care, and don't even bother telling my why!"
Too damn funny
Jay called it. La La Land has 14 Oscar nominations.
' where do you cook flowers in ..... green house?' cook flowers !? what the fuck!?
La La Land has a bittersweet tone throughout that I'm surprised didn't resonate with these guys. Some of my favorite art and music finds joy and nobility in life's struggles and losing battles. I love this movie.

Having now watched La La Land, I think the contrasting elements you guys mention were intentional and I guess it comes down to a question of whether they work. I didn't end up feeling greatly emotionally connected while watching most of the time, but I had a sort of weird aftertaste effect where it slowly grew in my mind after watching it and I started spam-listening to the music from the movie and singing along to it.
I think it's one of those movies where it might actually undersell itself a bit on the first viewing, but will last the test of time and repeat viewings. There are elements to it that you're probably going to miss the first time around; like someone pointed out to me that the way the seasons pass mimics the "seasons" of their relationship. I think knowing what the ending is going to be would impact how it plays emotionally on a repeat viewing, too. Probably would make the whole thing seem a bit more fragile, which is what I think they were going for; this idea that there's the hollywood glamour, but beneath it, there's some pretty dark and heavy emotional stuff going on.
Which I think fits with what Jay noticed about the lighting in the first number. This contrast between light and dark, between whimsy and trauma. It's almost like the whole movie is built around this idea that the world has a magical side to it, but that the magical side may be more of a happy dream, almost drug-like, than it is a reflection of reality.
It fits with the little I've experienced in the world of the performing arts. That everyone is sort of putting aside reality to put on a show, but they're also drawing from reality to perform, and there's this strange bleed-over effect sometimes, where you aren't quite sure whether being a performer is a craft or a part of your identity.
I had the exact opposite reaction you had to it. I loved it the first time I saw it, went to it 3 times in theaters, and every subsequent viewing I like it a little less. It has not stuck with me at all.
Don't Plinkett. Don't Jay it.
Walk into home

On the walls the phrase "he will not divide us" is scratched everywhere
"What have you done?!"
I've travelled back in time from July 2017 to say, the world has changed.
It's a bit warmer now than it was in January.
What about now in August 2018?
It's January 2019 and I think you lied. It's still cold outside!
The world is changing...
Is 'Mike and Jay review 2 movies that have been out for a while because the titles sound funny when you say them together' replacing best of the worst?
WHY ARE MIKE'S HANDS SO RED?
RedHandsLetterMedia
Susan's period?
Probably frostbite from the brutal Wisconsin winter.
Diabetes >;q
Because Rich enjoys a good spanking?
I almost dropped my bowl of cereal at Mike's reaction to Emma Watson almost being in La La Land
Really though, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were excellently paired
“The opening was simply fabulous”-Mike
Glad I revisited this review three years after it was posted so I could hear the phrase "uncooked meatloaf in dog form." If it was a higher-profile movie, that could almost warrant a t-shirt.
La La Land is excellent, and easily the best film I saw this past year next to The Arrival.
"Where do you cook flowers in?"
I watched Bye Bye Man on Netflix the other day because this review had me curious. They're not wrong with it lowering the bar, it feels like it was written on heavy sedatives. The Bye Bye Man, his Resident Evil dog, the coins and the train are never explained and all turn up intermittently like the screenwriters kept forgetting about bits of their own lore.
My favourite scene came in the aftermath of the girl getting hit by the train (though comically warning train driver deserves an MVP). The lead actor is there for it, then it jumps to night time with numerous police cars and ambulances hanging around with sirens blaring. Then the other two young actors turn up and only then does the lead tell them what happened to their friend. They are completely shocked, having made no assumptions about the comically massive crime scene they've just wandered into. Also Carrie-Anne Moss is present, giving off massive Denise Crosby vibes.
Seriously, it makes Jeepers Creepers look like fucking art. That film might have been generic and uninspired but at least it felt like it was made by sentient human beings. That's how low Bye Bye Man has set the bar.
I love the laughs you guys are having in this one. It's infectious.
This has to be HANDS-down my favorite halfinthebag review (fan since 2011) I’ve watched this one at least a thousand times (no joke) and it gets me EVERYTIME thanks guys 👍
Hollywood is in La La land
They need to go bye bye man
I fucking hate myself
"Where do you cook flowers in?
Greenhouse!"
I had to pause the video so I could finish laughing
Gotta give some props for the “Day the Clown Cried” VHS tape cameo.
Much respect.
Congrats to La La Land on it's Best Picture awa.....oh wait
I honestly never saw Mike really and genuinely liking a movie.
Vincent Knight he legitimately enjoyed Jurassic world and Star Trek beyond I know what you mean though lol
I don't doubt that he liked a movie haha... I just never witnessed it
Its odd, I agree with most everything Mike says, but I hate his taste
He seems pretentious with his movie choices
@@jacobscarberry4799 ah yes, it's pretentious to like Jurassic World and Star Trek.
Well that's a nice way to wake up, a Half in The Bag appears.
I clapped because I saw Jack!
Me when the video ends: "Bye Bauman."
RLM's editing always cracks me up (In a good way).
"That's just fucking crazy." made me laugh so hard, oh lord
"I would rather fraudulently marry an elderly man than have anyone think that i was a homophobe"

James Cameron will need to go down and raise the bar again then maybe. James Cameron can because James Cameron is James Cameron!
