I would argue that The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is the best coming-of-age movie of the 2000's, but I don't think the world is ready for this take yet
Ever since I started paying attention to the names of the chatters NL calls out I've noticed that a remark DLGuiga makes that NL disagrees with is always the catalyst for a bit It's like the Amen break - once you know it, you hear it everywhere
dlguiga was VIP'd along with two others after helping out in the password game stream. he is the most active of the three chatters that were VIP'd and also rides with NL on the peloton + he always hits the chat with the most incendiary takes so he's provided some great fuel for rants

15:00 About the age: I am pretty sure we know the age because they said something along the lines of "I have seen Avatar often over the last decade, from when I was 9 to when I was 22". So yeah, early 20s is correct unless they are larping the entire thing.
This is the internal monologue I go through sometimes when I find people who have such unhinged opinions that I not only wonder who they are, I wonder HOW they are. Not how are they doing mental health wise, but how do they actually exist? How did they get to where they are to have that opinion? It's that internal monologue, but external. 10/10 would watch more.
fr the conversation is lowkey one of the best most movies in Coppola's filmography, in COPPOLLA's (GODFATHER, GODFATHER II, APOCALYPSE NOW) FILMOGRAPHY, I DIDN'T STUTTER IT IS THAT GOOD
I think he is bemused by the fact that the reviewer is treating blockbuster trash on the same level as arthouse films. As a 27-year-old boomer that is also strange to me. I come from an ancient time when mainstream popcorn media was not considered worth giving any critical attention to
@@slynt_ I'm a 31 year old boomer and I've recently come to the conclusion that mainstream blockbusters are good actually. But I'm also someone who rates action very high. To me the peak of cinema is 70-80's hong kong.

So relatable, I did this with someone's account on an anime review website bc they gave a bad review of Akira and then on their account they were ride or die for Ny Hero Academia and I damn near had an aneurysm
i've been using this site called criticker lately and the culture there around rating is actually pretty solid. it puts people's ratings on a curve, so if someone has a system where 7/10 is the lowest score they typically give, those will be judged as bad ratings, but if someone rates from 1-10 fairly it will see 7/10 as a pretty good rating
@@NorthWestPvPlolrektnoob How can you know before you've seen it? Sure, you can look at ratings of other users beforehand, but with dozens of movies there has to be at least one of them that has good ratings which you don't like as much. Also, how can you even talk about a movie being 'Above Average' if you have never seen a movie that is Average or Below Average. You have nothing to compare to. Maybe you have to adjust your concept of Averageness in that case.
7.7 is a solid score. I use IMBD exclusively to get new recommendations for English language films and it's way better than Letterboxed if you use my curve. Just put a -0.8 on film bro movies, -2 on super hero movies that's not Logan and - 1 on movies released in the last 2 years. In 10-15 those will be the actual ratings of those movies. Letterboxed low user count artificial inflates foreign language movies with low watches and gives super low ratings to genuinely unique English language films from the Hollywood era. Stuff like taking of Pelham 123, Snatch, John Ford movies, are lower rated on Letterboxd.
My fellow Indian Parth found a way to completely derail NL and I'm here for it. The Indian movie reviews by Parth were more outrageous than the Hollywood ones and I wish NL had watched them as well.
Anyone who loves to delve into the insanity of letterbox’s, check out Mario’s animated movie list. Whoever they are, they decided to rank every animated movie on the same list.
Tbf Lost In Translation is a little overrated mainly because i don’t fw romance movies that much there are only two in the genre that I love so much but a majority of them just don’t hit at all.
THE BROMIDIC PERSON GAVE AVATAR THE WAY OF WATER FIVE FUCKING STARS?! THEIR HOUSE HAS TO HAVE A CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK THERE IS NO WAY YOU DO THAT ON PURPOSE
it's always so funny when someone gives a laughably low score to a critically acclaimed and universally praised piece of media (be it a movie/album/video game/etc.) and then you ask what they like and it is almost always media for babies lmao

I thought that until I saw they gave Spiderman 3, Spiderman 2, and Shang Chi the same rating. NL was totally sane on this.

LetterBoxd needs a “not my tempo” option next to the 1 star.

This review gonna be living in NL's head rent free for the next month.
The amount of effort to stalk the same persons letterboxd account and put the relevant reviews on screen... we don't deserve you
Has he ever made a follow up to this? Streets need more
The "Blow Out" versus "The Conversation" moment is goated.
How to train your dragon (all of them) is the definitive coming of age movie change my mind

Either that or they have literally no ratings below 2.5/5, so in their world every movie they've seen is somehow above average
