I saw both Oppenheimer and Barbie a while back. Both films were unique and honestly seemed amazing. Oppenheimer was great for history nerds like myself. It respected the heavy source material and honestly I loved it. My only complaint is that I felt it could have been 15 or 20 minutes shorter. Barbie was also amazing. It was beautiful and hilarious. I watched it in a packed theatre and every joke landed. It was also an experience akin to Spiderman No Way Home.

12:34 couldnt have said it better myself. Anytime i watch movies on my phone or TV either I regret never seeing it in theaters or wish I could experiance it again. Watching Joker in the cinema was the closes thing to put me in fight or flight, watching Rick Flag get stabbed in the heart up close stuck with me. No matter how shitty or great a movie is, watching it on the big screen makes it 10x better
I love the writing, the music, the fast cuts, this should have millions of views, best piece of content I've found in a while, after watching the pixar video of course
God I hope the new Dungeons and Dragons movie did well. I completely wrote it the fuck off when I saw the trailer and I'm willing to bet a ton of people did the same thing, but it turned out to be not only what a DnD movie should be in regards to building its world and tone in the same way that most friends around the table do; but turned out to be a shockingly well made movie as well. Great acting. Inventive scenes. Fun dialogue with likable characters. An actual character arc. Excellent action that isn't cutting the camera every picosecond. Way more practical effects than I anticipated, too. When the paladin sliced his attacker's neck and some absolute chad of a stunt man took an actual fall down the rocks, it felt like I was watching an actual movie again.
Sadly D&D released too close to Mario for it to do well- as much as I enjoyed Mario, it’s the only film I’ve seen this year that over-performed for what it was IMO (Megan and a few others might also qualify but I haven't seen those so I can’t adequately judge).
Only learned about dungeon & dragons when started watching big bang theory and still don’t understand it, so I don’t know why they made a movie about, in my country never saw anyone talking about it, only Japanese like Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! ,beyblade ect
beau is afraid is genuinely one of the best theatre experiences ive had this year and i think everybody else who saw it in theatres probably agrees with me.
I was shocked at how good it is, considering it was directed by Ari Aster, who has a terrible track record. After he directed total garbage like Hereditary and Midsommar, I didn't think Beau if Afraid had any chances of being good but it was.
I think the reason Barbie and Oppenheimer did so well is because it was 2 movies people wanted to watch. I find it harder and harder to justify driving aaaalll the way out to the theatre, to watch only one movie, so having 2 I want to watch makes it more worthwhile.
as a cinema worker this summer has been hell, with new films coming out every week it’s constantly bringing different groups of people to see said films so this summer has honestly been non stop working, hope you’ve had fun guys :) maybe when it’s all over i’ll finally have the time to go see them myself lol
Unironically one of the best UA-cam Videos i’ve ever watched and I have seen hundreds of video essay/ opinion video/ commentary video style videos. I loved it

Oppenheimer was a work of art, I genuinely love this movie and will buy a collector edition on dvd when it comes out. I’ve watched Oppenheimer three times now. It’s worth every penny to watch it in IMAX
I didn’t like Barbie like at all, but I’m glad it got more people in the theater. At least in my area it was basically impossible to find tickets for the Barbie movie on the 21st Edit: I don’t feel like beefing in the comments. I personally didn’t like the movie but I respect your opinion if you did. I’m planning on rewatching it in theaters to try it again
Ye. I'm prolly gonna get flamed for this, but shoving feminism down everyone's throat will not make the vast majority of people go back to the theater. Because it's bs.
@@JohnDoe12345. as a girl who sees herself as progressive, Barbie sucked so bad bc of the messaging. Women aren’t superior to men, and men aren’t superior to women. They could’ve made a good movie but whatever
I think if it wasn't for Transfomers 5 and the Bumblebee movie bombing at the box office I think ROTB would have been directed by Bay or the studio would have let Steven caple Jr take more risks...I and one of the few people that actually like the direction that the Transformers franchise is going in away from the last 2 Michael Bay Transformers movies, but I think if they still make that Transformers GI Joe crossover it's going to bomb harder then Oppenheimer's actral bomb because not even transformers fan's like myself want to see Gi joe with Transformers
I love how calmly dr. skipper talks and honestly has very enjoyable and informative videos... Honestly thanks to your hard work you are making works of art
Hollywood has stagnated because they used to just pump out mediocre movies with recognizable names and they would make more money as the creative movies. But now that the mediocre franchise cash cows like the flash and Indiana Jones have flopped and the critically acclaimed movies like across the spiderverse and oppenheimer have flourished, we could see a new age of creativity in Hollywood.
@@me-myself-i787 Well you are partially right. A great movie with bad marketing is going to do worse than a good film with good marketing. However, now mediocre films with good marketing like Indiana jones and the flash are bombing, so now the studios need to ensure some level of quality that was not necessary to make a big blockbuster a few years ago.
I'm very excited to see how this year changes cinema. I hope this will lead to greenlighting more good movies as the industry notices good movies are more succesful than bad ones.
@@aspireistoinspirebeforewee3519 I know it’s really sad to hear that. I hope they take the time needed for the next movie and get the pay the deserve. Crunch time is so bad it’s insane how often it happens
12:36 THIS. I remember crying so much in the cinema from avengers end game and having to go home that i had a HEADACHE. I went on the first day it came out and I absolutely loved every single second of it.
Dude your videos are insane. This is the first video I came across but my god, the time and effort you put into is incredible. Your editing is amazing, your jokes our funny, and somehow you can do a serious tone that I can relate to on a dime. Your incredible bro, Keep it up.

@@lachlans9036 there were multiple good movies this year, guardians of the galaxy, oppenheimer, and across the spiderverse, thats 3 already, and there's probably more
I think the secret sauce is just make good movies and have a good reputation. Barbenheimer was such a phenomenon because anything with James Nolan's or Ryan Gosling's name on it is nearly always an amazing experience, and they were both amazing
@@Icetea-2000except barbie was genuinely good, in a completely different way. Both films are tonally and visually completely at odds, and elevates each other.
@@andreas4010 I don’t think a movie with the message that men in the real world are terrible assholes all benefiting from "the patriarchy" makes a good movie. It’s a feminist hit piece against men with outdated ideas that MIGHT have held merit over half a century ago
I work 50-60 hours a week and Mt gf works about the same and I fully agree with every statement you said. I'm happy my gf and I watched barbie and oppenheimer
So glad you made this video. These were EXACTLY my thoughts. Every single movie with a HUGE budget and mediocre reviews has performed badly because no one cares to see it. Every movie with a lower budget and amazing reviews performs much better. There are obvious exceptions of course, like Avatar 2 somehow making all that money, but it seems like movie companies are going to need to try harder and make better films/decrease their budgets. For example, Elemental had the whopping $200million budget, whereas SPIDERVERSE had a $100 million budget, Puss in Boots had a $90 million budget, The Bad Guys had a $80 million budget, so it's way easier for them to be successful. The Bad Guys only made $250 million but was still a success. These studios keep putting out these mediocre movies with $250 million plus budgets that barely break even, how? Make the movies better
@@SwagSwagSenate it's not successful yet. It's a month out and it's only made around $310 million, with a budget of $200 million and who knows how much for marketing. It would need to make around $450+ million to be profitable
@@AnimatedCriticStudios Yes but with the fact it only made $4 million more this weekend it's slowing down massively so it probably won't make much more, and like I mentioned it needs $450M+ to make a profit. Even now it's still the least successful animated film of this year.
@@hemantks4353 you get to have your own opinion, and i do agree that oppenheimer stands leagues above the other two, they are still some of the best that that generally bad genre has to offer
This video is a fucking fever dream he’s harder to track than Oppenheimer during that 30 minutes of lawyer shit at midnight when all you’re thinking about is eating some food and sleeping like a rock.
Dude your content is high quality, editing is tight. A bit too adhd perhaps, could slow down the tempo by bout 15% for us w better attention spans, but it's good anyway. Keep it up and love the bird avatar
Well, naturally, Oppenheimer and Barbie opened a week later. That heavily took sales away from MI. That being said, I saw MI twice now, and probably will again later. Meanwhile Barbenheimer is a one and done.
Yup i agree i went on Barbie 2 times bcs it deserved the hype and i wanted to my mom to see that movie.. I was kinda excited for Elementals but when i found out what happend on the sets and in the production with the story itself it drowe me away VEEERRRY fast.. i was gonna go on oppeheimer but i still dont feel like it its a hard movie to swolow and thats why it has that hype..
This video feels like it's edited for a 0.0003 second attention span. It's all over the place the first half before it focuses and your point(s) are made clear. Basically, this video can be half as long, avoid meandering, be far more concise in less time, and express your point without hyper editing. I enjoy and agree with your point though. Time and money are precious and valuable. Don't waste them, especially on mid-ass entertainment.
What you are saying is good, but the editing and visuals are going at light speed. The beginning especially was too fast paced with new footage appearing at every 3-6 words (or at least that is how it felt like).
i had to take an ambulance ride because the hospital i was at said i needed my gall blatter removed but since i’m not 18 they wouldn’t operate on me but they would get an ambulance to take me an hour away to a hospital in ATL, when i got there i didn’t need my hall blatter removed because the last hospital took my fucking vitals wrong. now a big nothingburger of an ambulance ride is costing my family like $1500-2000 dollars
This kind of editing is exhausting to watch. I am sure you got your point across, but I gave up before the 2-min mark. And now I am stuck in the comment section. Look what you have done.
Your ending monlouge with "Deliver Hope" from Halo: Reach playing was fantastic. Im going to be honest, I don't remember going to the movie theater for the first time. My older brothers say we watch Cars (2006) in theaters multiple times because my dad likes Nascar, but i was around 4 at the time and dont recall it at all. Next movie that comes to mind is Megamind in 2010. I remeber i was at a friends house and his mom offered to take us all to the movie. But beyond that i don't really know what else I watched from my time of being conscious in the 2000s. It should be fun for people to remember seeing films Star Wars or Back to the Future in theaters for the first time. Theres something extra special about it. But man is that an expensive special feeling now a days. $20 for a large popcorn and 24oz drink and $15 ticket no thank you
12:02 Okay so about that. I was supposed to see barbie movie last weekend but nobody decided to actually make plans. I kept asking "hey are we seeing the move this weekend? Does saturday work? What time?!" And nobody answered. So the weekend came and went. One of them was like "oh next weekend! next weekend for sure!" But they still havent said anything. So I doubt ill ever get to see it until years later I see it on streaming. Which is sad, because I wanted to dress nice for once to see the movie. My dad, however, thinks it's stupid, and im not dragging my mom to see it, since I feel like she wouldnt want to either. Now, my dad. Just bought two movie tickets. to Indiana Jones. Im only really going because "eh its something to do, besides, at least hell like it." but I still would really like to see the barbie movie, no matter how bad people think it is
I encourage you to keep your head up. Barbie is a good movie. Definitely heavy handed on their message but I believe that’s the point. If Greta Gerwig and company view patriarchy as a heavy handed, in-your-face issue then why not make an equally heavy handed, in-your-face film? I did not expect the film to go as far as it did with it’s message but the story did end in a satisfying way for me. Barbie is a very well made and intentionally crafted film in my opinion and I don’t see it’s message as a reason to bash the film and all of it’s other amazing qualities. You’ll enjoy Barbie when you finally do get to see it. Personally though I liked Oppenheimer more
Dude why don’t you go on your own? I love going to the cinema to watch movies in my own sometimes, literally saw Barbie and Oppenheimer today on my own and loved it.
@@toneswing6I honestly thought barbies message was over the top, they could easily have made the message the same without demonizing men, men are treated as these perfect beings other than ken crying a bit, then it ends with some stupid payback sequence with the president, patriarchy is a issue, just not in the us to the extent it was portrayed in the movie, and especially in cali of all places. Like cmon, those guys who were creepy to barbie would be publicly executed, sadly Greta is to large of a coward to base this in a country where this stuff makes sense

No matter how shitty or great a movie is, watching it on the big screen makes it 10x better
Watching joker in theater would’ve had me looking back every 30
Seconds
@@JackycakesV2watching it in IMAX was definitely a experience that's for sure
Idk, I watched joker both in cinema and at home and I didn’t notice a difference.
Oh well, it’s probably my room temperature iq
I love the writing, the music, the fast cuts, this should have millions of views, best piece of content I've found in a while, after watching the pixar video of course
I love your videos, man. I always put down whatever I'm doing whenever you upload. Keep it up!
God I hope the new Dungeons and Dragons movie did well. I completely wrote it the fuck off when I saw the trailer and I'm willing to bet a ton of people did the same thing, but it turned out to be not only what a DnD movie should be in regards to building its world and tone in the same way that most friends around the table do; but turned out to be a shockingly well made movie as well. Great acting. Inventive scenes. Fun dialogue with likable characters. An actual character arc. Excellent action that isn't cutting the camera every picosecond. Way more practical effects than I anticipated, too. When the paladin sliced his attacker's neck and some absolute chad of a stunt man took an actual fall down the rocks, it felt like I was watching an actual movie again.
it earned 200 mil on a 150 mil box office, it lost a bit of money but it wasn't as bad as some of the bigger flops this year.
Sadly D&D released too close to Mario for it to do well- as much as I enjoyed Mario, it’s the only film I’ve seen this year that over-performed for what it was IMO (Megan and a few others might also qualify but I haven't seen those so I can’t adequately judge).
Only learned about dungeon & dragons when started watching big bang theory and still don’t understand it, so I don’t know why they made a movie about, in my country never saw anyone talking about it, only Japanese like Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! ,beyblade ect
It's a shame when good movies do poorly. Nothing in the trailers looked interesting and adaptations like this are usually bad
Can we just appreciate the amount of editing put into this 🔥
beau is afraid is genuinely one of the best theatre experiences ive had this year and i think everybody else who saw it in theatres probably agrees with me.
No, I don’t agree with you pal
@@elmacholoroNo pal I do agree with you
I was shocked at how good it is, considering it was directed by Ari Aster, who has a terrible track record. After he directed total garbage like Hereditary and Midsommar, I didn't think Beau if Afraid had any chances of being good but it was.
@@ZoeSimza i loved all 3 movies but beau is afraid was definitely the most memorable
@@ZoeSimzawhat the fuck? Hereditary and midsummer were fucking great
I love how he’s still makes his point with funny editing 😂😂😂
0:28 this clip will forever be golden
I watched Oppenheimer, then saved the money I would've spent to watch Barbie so that I could watch Oppenheimer again.
Your love for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is awesome.
Liked and subscribed.
This video was a better experience then 90% of the movies I watched last year
I think the reason Barbie and Oppenheimer did so well is because it was 2 movies people wanted to watch. I find it harder and harder to justify driving aaaalll the way out to the theatre, to watch only one movie, so having 2 I want to watch makes it more worthwhile.
Do you live on a farm?
@@hiimjustin8826 Legend has it some do. Mysterious characters they be.
as a cinema worker this summer has been hell, with new films coming out every week it’s constantly bringing different groups of people to see said films so this summer has honestly been non stop working, hope you’ve had fun guys :) maybe when it’s all over i’ll finally have the time to go see them myself lol
I don’t get how anyone can enjoy this style of lightning-fast editing and overstimulation. To each their own, I suppose.
same
Unironically one of the best UA-cam Videos i’ve ever watched and I have seen hundreds of video essay/ opinion video/ commentary video style videos. I loved it
I paused and realised im only 2 minutes into this. I feel like I saw a seed become a tree in that time. Your editing is a nightmare, fucking based
I watched oppenheimer last night and I was genuinely scared of how loud the trinity test was gonna be I was covering my ears
No mention of "Sound of Freedom" that came out of nowhere and total wrecked the movies it went against, like Indy.
For a movie that “totally wrecked” the others, I never heard anyone talk about it.
@@ytpremium9462 ok but it did, not it's fault that you're mentally deficient.
@@carolingian5736okay, any proof that it’s doing way better at the box office than other movies or higher rating? Or you’re gonna tell me you’re “mentally challenged”?
It's original, and different. If you eat the same beautiful steak every night and then someone hands you a regular burger. You will instantly take the burger just for the fact of variety.
I’ve only seen 3 of your videos and you’re already starting to become one of my favorite people on here. Every video you make manages to be funny, relatable, and thought provoking all at the same time.
Oppenheimer was a work of art, I genuinely love this movie and will buy a collector edition on dvd when it comes out. I’ve watched Oppenheimer three times now. It’s worth every penny to watch it in IMAX
I swear every time you play "deliver hope” from the Halo Reach trailer it gets me
That's what I recognized, lol. I thought I heard that from somewhere.
I didn’t like Barbie like at all, but I’m glad it got more people in the theater. At least in my area it was basically impossible to find tickets for the Barbie movie on the 21st
Edit: I don’t feel like beefing in the comments. I personally didn’t like the movie but I respect your opinion if you did. I’m planning on rewatching it in theaters to try it again
i liked it
only good part was ryan goslings stuff, everything else just sucked
Ye. I'm prolly gonna get flamed for this, but shoving feminism down everyone's throat will not make the vast majority of people go back to the theater. Because it's bs.
@@detective2221the movie was dog shit. I watched it because of the memes and it was nothing what I expected
@@JohnDoe12345. as a girl who sees herself as progressive, Barbie sucked so bad bc of the messaging. Women aren’t superior to men, and men aren’t superior to women. They could’ve made a good movie but whatever
Your words convey information but your editing style induces madness……..I love it lol
I think if it wasn't for Transfomers 5 and the Bumblebee movie bombing at the box office I think ROTB would have been directed by Bay or the studio would have let Steven caple Jr take more risks...I and one of the few people that actually like the direction that the Transformers franchise is going in away from the last 2 Michael Bay Transformers movies, but I think if they still make that Transformers GI Joe crossover it's going to bomb harder then Oppenheimer's actral bomb because not even transformers fan's like myself want to see Gi joe with Transformers
I love how calmly dr. skipper talks and honestly has very enjoyable and informative videos... Honestly thanks to your hard work you are making works of art
Hollywood has stagnated because they used to just pump out mediocre movies with recognizable names and they would make more money as the creative movies. But now that the mediocre franchise cash cows like the flash and Indiana Jones have flopped and the critically acclaimed movies like across the spiderverse and oppenheimer have flourished, we could see a new age of creativity in Hollywood.
The Mario movie is still more successful than Spiderverse.
The Barbie movie is more successful than Oppenheimer.
Marketing matters more than quality.
@@me-myself-i787 Well you are partially right. A great movie with bad marketing is going to do worse than a good film with good marketing. However, now mediocre films with good marketing like Indiana jones and the flash are bombing, so now the studios need to ensure some level of quality that was not necessary to make a big blockbuster a few years ago.
As someone who lives in AZ, I felt that commentary about temps pushing 115 so hard
That type a videos are adhd heaven
Dr skipper you deserve more views! Your videos are always well edited and very informative
I'm very excited to see how this year changes cinema. I hope this will lead to greenlighting more good movies as the industry notices good movies are more succesful than bad ones.
The fact that spider verse which did so much with only 1/3rd of Indiana Jones’s budget is insane to me tbh
Because people care about good shit not mediocre dumpster fires obviously
It’s also important to mention that the people who did Spiderverse have said they were underpaid and overworked.
Idk how Indy 5 cost 300 million. WHERE? Where did that 300 mil go?! I for damn sure know it didn't go towards the writing team
@@aspireistoinspirebeforewee3519 I know it’s really sad to hear that. I hope they take the time needed for the next movie and get the pay the deserve. Crunch time is so bad it’s insane how often it happens
@@jase276 probably 250 million of it was to convince Harrison ford to be apart of that movie 💀💀
12:36 THIS. I remember crying so much in the cinema from avengers end game and having to go home that i had a HEADACHE. I went on the first day it came out and I absolutely loved every single second of it.
This is starting to become one of my favorite channels on here. Not only is the content freaking great but the editing is beyond perfection 🤌🏼
Dude your videos are insane. This is the first video I came across but my god, the time and effort you put into is incredible. Your editing is amazing, your jokes our funny, and somehow you can do a serious tone that I can relate to on a dime. Your incredible bro, Keep it up.
Just discovered this channel. I fuckin love it
Respect for saying you have schizophrenia skipper my old man has mpd and schizophrenia but he’s still a really solid person and people have a misconception about the reality of people living with those. Your editing was incredible as always
Oppenheimer was an experience more than a movie. Worth watching
This channel is super inspirational man. I went from watching a little skipper finding his way on youtube to gigachad skipper amking banger after banger. Good shit man itd awesome to see.
I liked how you called it the downfall of cinema when you liked Guardians of the Galaxy
Cuz one movie is good doesn’t mean cinema is coming back it’s been on a decline since 2017
@@lachlans9036 there were multiple good movies this year, guardians of the galaxy, oppenheimer, and across the spiderverse, thats 3 already, and there's probably more
@@pacevy3798 how you gonna ignore Mission Impossible but shout out Oppenheimer
1) public perception
2) franchise fatigue
3) bad writing
4) affordability, especially for young people.
I think the secret sauce is just make good movies and have a good reputation. Barbenheimer was such a phenomenon because anything with James Nolan's or Ryan Gosling's name on it is nearly always an amazing experience, and they were both amazing
Yes! Neither pretty much ever miss.
"Barbenheimer" was a thing because the genius marketing team of barbie leeched their terrible movie onto pure top tier Nolan Kino undeservedly
@@Icetea-2000 Barbie was better than Oppenheimer lol
@@Icetea-2000except barbie was genuinely good, in a completely different way. Both films are tonally and visually completely at odds, and elevates each other.
@@andreas4010 I don’t think a movie with the message that men in the real world are terrible assholes all benefiting from "the patriarchy" makes a good movie. It’s a feminist hit piece against men with outdated ideas that MIGHT have held merit over half a century ago
I work 50-60 hours a week and Mt gf works about the same and I fully agree with every statement you said. I'm happy my gf and I watched barbie and oppenheimer
The first 2:30 minutes of the video felt like a really long fever dream. I love it
Worded so well, so fast-paced it felt like a 30 min video. Nice editing too.
So glad you made this video. These were EXACTLY my thoughts. Every single movie with a HUGE budget and mediocre reviews has performed badly because no one cares to see it. Every movie with a lower budget and amazing reviews performs much better. There are obvious exceptions of course, like Avatar 2 somehow making all that money, but it seems like movie companies are going to need to try harder and make better films/decrease their budgets.
For example, Elemental had the whopping $200million budget, whereas SPIDERVERSE had a $100 million budget, Puss in Boots had a $90 million budget, The Bad Guys had a $80 million budget, so it's way easier for them to be successful. The Bad Guys only made $250 million but was still a success.
These studios keep putting out these mediocre movies with $250 million plus budgets that barely break even, how? Make the movies better
I heard that elemental is somehow making a comeback and becoming succesfull, hope this isn't true.
@@SwagSwagSenate it's not successful yet. It's a month out and it's only made around $310 million, with a budget of $200 million and who knows how much for marketing. It would need to make around $450+ million to be profitable
James Cameron is James Cameron after all
@@WarriorsAceit's at $400,000,000 rn lol
@@AnimatedCriticStudios Yes but with the fact it only made $4 million more this weekend it's slowing down massively so it probably won't make much more, and like I mentioned it needs $450M+ to make a profit. Even now it's still the least successful animated film of this year.
bro props to the editor this went to hard
The amount of editing is amazing great vid
I first came across your channel with the PBS kids Iceberg video.
you're becoming one my favorite channels when you upload content like this.
bird man yells at box office and gives his audience a seizure in the first half (good video)
If you showed this to am 18th century peasant they would dissolve into the atmosphere around them
gaurdians of the galaxy and oppenheimer as well as the spider verse were all masterpieces
Oppenheimer is 10 times better than those stupid Superhero flicks. Don't even compare
@@hemantks4353 you get to have your own opinion, and i do agree that oppenheimer stands leagues above the other two, they are still some of the best that that generally bad genre has to offer
The editing in this is good for my adhd
Oppenheimer and Barbie combined cost less than Fast X
This video is a fucking fever dream he’s harder to track than Oppenheimer during that 30 minutes of lawyer shit at midnight when all you’re thinking about is eating some food and sleeping like a rock.
awesome intro.
Not me having a crisis and mental breakdown for everything my parents have done for me my whole life just because of the middle section of this video
havent watched the video but i already know theres gonna be excellent music choices in it
just finished it and i was not wrong. good shit
Dude your content is high quality, editing is tight. A bit too adhd perhaps, could slow down the tempo by bout 15% for us w better attention spans, but it's good anyway. Keep it up and love the bird avatar
i cant tell how many times the intro got re-done in this video but for some reason i liked it
They might as well make tickets a freaking dollar again
Cause at this point not many people are seeing movies at all
A dollar is too high, I can literally watch more better content on youtube than on a cinema
your editing is making me go insane, i love it.
11:43 ironic…cause Mission Impossible 7 took a 64% drop second weekend 😭
Well, naturally, Oppenheimer and Barbie opened a week later. That heavily took sales away from MI. That being said, I saw MI twice now, and probably will again later. Meanwhile Barbenheimer is a one and done.
The conversion to celcius was greatly appreciated. Thanks Skipper.
The editing in this is fucking sublime.
Love the edits and transitions👍. This video was pretty cool. Very fast and yet clear to understand.
wonderful video start to finish
In terms of editing and message...this is one of the best yt videos I've watched in a while.
Yup i agree i went on Barbie 2 times bcs it deserved the hype and i wanted to my mom to see that movie.. I was kinda excited for Elementals but when i found out what happend on the sets and in the production with the story itself it drowe me away VEEERRRY fast.. i was gonna go on oppeheimer but i still dont feel like it its a hard movie to swolow and thats why it has that hype..
"110 degrees"
Well that sounds hot I guess
"43⁰ C"
OOOOOF
My brain can't keep up with this video
This video feels like it's edited for a 0.0003 second attention span. It's all over the place the first half before it focuses and your point(s) are made clear. Basically, this video can be half as long, avoid meandering, be far more concise in less time, and express your point without hyper editing. I enjoy and agree with your point though. Time and money are precious and valuable. Don't waste them, especially on mid-ass entertainment.
IS THIS pure Unaltered Autisum?
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
What you are saying is good, but the editing and visuals are going at light speed. The beginning especially was too fast paced with new footage appearing at every 3-6 words (or at least that is how it felt like).
i had to take an ambulance ride because the hospital i was at said i needed my gall blatter removed but since i’m not 18 they wouldn’t operate on me but they would get an ambulance to take me an hour away to a hospital in ATL, when i got there i didn’t need my hall blatter removed because the last hospital took my fucking vitals wrong. now a big nothingburger of an ambulance ride is costing my family like $1500-2000 dollars
Watching puss in boots in theatre definently had an impact than if i just watched it digital
For real!!
True, every moment when Death showed up it felt like my own heart pounding. It was sick
This kind of editing is exhausting to watch. I am sure you got your point across, but I gave up before the 2-min mark. And now I am stuck in the comment section. Look what you have done.
Yooo new video let’s goooo!
Bro this video is extremely made keep it up man you’re gonna blow up❤
I loved Oppenheimer. It was almost worth the $13 I paid to see it.
Your ending monlouge with "Deliver Hope" from Halo: Reach playing was fantastic. Im going to be honest, I don't remember going to the movie theater for the first time. My older brothers say we watch Cars (2006) in theaters multiple times because my dad likes Nascar, but i was around 4 at the time and dont recall it at all. Next movie that comes to mind is Megamind in 2010. I remeber i was at a friends house and his mom offered to take us all to the movie. But beyond that i don't really know what else I watched from my time of being conscious in the 2000s. It should be fun for people to remember seeing films Star Wars or Back to the Future in theaters for the first time. Theres something extra special about it. But man is that an expensive special feeling now a days. $20 for a large popcorn and 24oz drink and $15 ticket no thank you
12:02 Okay so about that. I was supposed to see barbie movie last weekend but nobody decided to actually make plans. I kept asking "hey are we seeing the move this weekend? Does saturday work? What time?!" And nobody answered. So the weekend came and went. One of them was like "oh next weekend! next weekend for sure!" But they still havent said anything. So I doubt ill ever get to see it until years later I see it on streaming. Which is sad, because I wanted to dress nice for once to see the movie. My dad, however, thinks it's stupid, and im not dragging my mom to see it, since I feel like she wouldnt want to either. Now, my dad. Just bought two movie tickets. to Indiana Jones. Im only really going because "eh its something to do, besides, at least hell like it." but I still would really like to see the barbie movie, no matter how bad people think it is
I encourage you to keep your head up. Barbie is a good movie. Definitely heavy handed on their message but I believe that’s the point. If Greta Gerwig and company view patriarchy as a heavy handed, in-your-face issue then why not make an equally heavy handed, in-your-face film? I did not expect the film to go as far as it did with it’s message but the story did end in a satisfying way for me. Barbie is a very well made and intentionally crafted film in my opinion and I don’t see it’s message as a reason to bash the film and all of it’s other amazing qualities. You’ll enjoy Barbie when you finally do get to see it. Personally though I liked Oppenheimer more
Dude why don’t you go on your own? I love going to the cinema to watch movies in my own sometimes, literally saw Barbie and Oppenheimer today on my own and loved it.
@@toneswing6I honestly thought barbies message was over the top, they could easily have made the message the same without demonizing men, men are treated as these perfect beings other than ken crying a bit, then it ends with some stupid payback sequence with the president, patriarchy is a issue, just not in the us to the extent it was portrayed in the movie, and especially in cali of all places. Like cmon, those guys who were creepy to barbie would be publicly executed, sadly Greta is to large of a coward to base this in a country where this stuff makes sense
