Whenever people ask if a new video game property is going to be “Break the video game curse”. Like video game movies and shows have been decent to great for about a decade now. We haven’t gotten a Mortal Kombat Annihilation or Uwe Boll movie in quite a while.
There's not a lot I personally love but it's not because of some ominous "curse," Plus yeah you're right there's plenty of good examples; I'm a sucker for the Resident Evil movies for example
I agree with you a thousand percent about a place being a character of its own. That has ALWAYS bothered me! I mean, unless you're talking about that horror movie where the church eats people. Movie reviewers (myself included) are insecure and lazy, so they want to sound smart, but they also like copying off other people's work. That's where most of these come from I think.
Similar to “this is the Empire Strikes back of…” I’m always tired of when a new Star Wars, Terminator or Bond comes out and inevitably someone says “this is the best since Empire/T2/Goldfinger.” It’s not really saying anything and is also rarely true
Great pick, so true! "Best since" also implies that everybody agrees with whichever you say is best which is sorta arrogant if that makes sense. Thanks for watching/commenting and I love your videos btw
That's EXACTLY it! Lol, I actually joked with a friend of mine just last night that I should have said that very joke in this video but didn't think of it hahaha!
I can be a little guilty of this myself but I try to give my thoughts on something and trying to explain why I like or hate something. I don't even use "superhero fatigue" because I don't really feel it, just want more from that genre. Also, definitely agree that sequels are not always bad. Fun and entertaining video.
My personal pet peeve is 'Favourite X of the past Y years' (usually '5 - 10 years'), it just feels like the reviewer is too scared of someone going 'um what about this classic film from 1937?' to admit it's one of their favourite movies ever and is hedging their opinion. I dunno it just feels kinda fake and cowardly to me. I'm personally less annoyed by reviewer/cultural terms like 'superhero fatigue' and 'tour de force' because I appreciate that there are terms that immediately get everyone on the same page. I do get annoyed at people talking about superhero fatigue who don't really know what they're talking about but people jumping onto buzzwords and misusing them is common and I don't often hold it against the term itself.
I get that, I also get being the trepidation of not wanting to immediately call something an absolute favourite out of recency bias - But I also think people weigh older movies with way too much credit over new movies as if everything that comes out now is complete shit or something which in my opinion is not true at all. I'll even get accused of lying if I say a recent movie is an all time favourite if it's not deemed "old enough" lol
@@LetsCrashThisParade Yeah I definitely get it more from smallish public figures like yourself trying to avoid shithead comments but the big boys like RLM and anonymous randos on social media doing it slightly irks me.
Isn’t that funny? Phrases I hate are ones I never use. Like I never say, “It’s my jam”. What a stupid phrase. I never say, “cra-cra”. Like can we say the whole word? Like we graduated the first grade.
Oh there's plenty of examples in here where I made sure to use footage of myself saying it too hahaha Have not seen it yet no, still need to catch up on lots of things ATM like haven't seen Sting, First Omen, Immaculate, Boy Kills World.. etc, then there's upcoming releases too 😱
@@LetsCrashThisParaderegarding film vs. movie, if it isn't shot on film, it isn't a film. I will be down with calling the really good movies "talkies". Parasite isn't just a movie. It's a talkie!
@@LetsCrashThisParade jokes aside, it's not a bad idea to take these cliches into account and try coming up with different ways to express the ideas. Sometimes we get lazy and don't realize it. If anything, I'm going to use this video to inspire more creative descriptions in the future. It'll be sexy.
Maybe you're seeing people mis-use 'juxtaposition'. It doesn't mean irony. It's also not a 'fancy' word. I think you're just watching videos by people who don't speak well.
It's just a bit of fun bro, not a big deal, no one's angry lol. Obviously it's a thing that happens - it's how language works and evolves, I'm just exaggerating the issue and pointing them out in a tongue in cheek way. If you watch closely I used my own footage of me saying a lot of the examples used too
The one that drives me crazy is that everything is a "love letter" nowadays!

So much this. There is no video game curse anymore.

They are - and I can't stress this enough - TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
Take a shot every time you see a physical media UA-camr say “physical media”
Oh oh another one that I'd bet applies to myself hahaha

The one movie where I would say that the setting feels like a character is To Live and Die in LA
Superhero fatigue fatigue

Starting sentences with like. Are you sure you graduated 1st grade.
Feel so called out on my blog reviews but you're not wrong 😂 have you seen The Watchers yet?

Hmm, I just want KFC to fry in tallow again.
I don't know what you're talking about but thanks for the comment lol
This video is a tour de force!
Literally made me laugh out loud right now

It's not just a movie, it's a MOVING PICTURE
@@LetsCrashThisParade "moving picture" is usually reserved for porn which can also be talkies, but only the really good porn.
