WickedHate posted:I don't know anything about RAED, but while it's egotistical to insist on doing stuff best left to professionals, it's also a dick move to do so much work with a guy you hate and trash him afterwards. I get a paycheck is a paycheck, but that's lovely, man. If I had to do a job with a person that basically sabotaged my work in the name of their "vision" I'd be pretty pissed, too. Besides, he clearly wanted to make it clear that he wasn't responsible for the problems in the videos and not looking for excuses to poo poo on RAED. That was a byproduct of the explanation. Which was done in private. Why do you think this was a dick move?

Infamous Sphere posted:Yeah, I remember finding it irritating at the time, but it's pretty much a textbook example of acting like children should be heterosexual long before they actually have any sexual attraction to anything (you know, like when parents act like a mixed-gender friendship between two small children is a "girlfriend/boyfriend" thing). Which is kind of funny, because if you go by the stereotypes, little boys who like to play mostly with girls, and little girls who like to play mostly with boys...usually end up being LGBT. Gee, I wonder which of these is more likely?

Infamous Sphere posted:I loved that episode Yeah, if the movie just decided to do *anything* not ho-hum it'd be better than it is, even as a cult classic. It's Beverly Hills Cop 3 syndrome, except BHC3 at least had some things to politely chuckle at. lornekates posted:Based on the preview, it looks like it takes place in continuity of the Anniversary movies. Yeah, it follows the anniversary continuity, particularly To Boldly Flee. It's got a handful of us other reviewers in it so it is similar in that respect, although it's definitely a movie about Lewis, which it should be. I really liked acting in it versus To Boldly Flee because the dialogue felt more like a conversation between two people and not an awkward setup for a punchline. Plus I did not at any point have to make a "sabretooth" joke.

the movie just sounds so weirdly bad. I mean usually crap movies introduce conflict and then leave it unresolved because they forget about it (like how in Ben and Arthur, the lawyer being murdered is never mentioned again - or the breast cancer in The Room), but in Pluto Nash it's like they introduced alleged conflict and then immediately resolved it?

It's one thing if it's a single example, or if the person in question is a generally weird and mysterious beyond being bad at their craft like Tommy Wiseau, but it just feels lovely to do a movie and five music videos with someone you can't stand, then message every amusing reviewer saying "Yeah I tried my best but even my amazing skills couldn't keep them from sucking".

Robert Denby posted:I'm going to guess that when they hired Ron Underwood, Eddie Murphy was in place, they had a window of time they could shoot to fit Murphy's schedule, had sets and everything ready to be built, but when their top 10 choices for directors were all busy, they went with number 11 (kind of like what happened with "Jonah Hex"), and gave absolutely no fucks about turning in a decent script; just getting something, ANYTHING on the screen. Seems like it. I know there were things refilmed after they brought in the new editor, so who knows how bad it was originally.

So the AT4W movie is a crossover, someone said? Is it even possible for them to make something original, and not tied into endless cameos and references? Oh wait, am I talking about doug or lewis? Also, Sage has a new review out, of an anime called Wild Cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBdVKbVYxis Since there is pretty much nothing substantial to talk about for the OVA, Sage instead takes some time to talk about how strange it is that some anime make more sense in English than in Japanese, due to accents and characters speaking multiple languages. He also talks about racist caricatures, and the career of one of the strangest bad voice actresses who ever worked, Apollo Smile. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Jul 28, 2015 |

How is venting about having a micromanaging boss bad? He wasn't working "with" RAED, he was working "for" RAED. This is the same graphic designers sharing stories about a company expecting to pay them 20 bucks for a full website revamp, or a cashier complaining about a really irritating customer. If someone hires you to do something and then refuses to let you actually do it, that's them being a terrible customer and worthy of ridicule.

It's hyperbole, but they were pretty quick to come forward with their harrowing tale for no real reason. I doubt there was anything extra in this review over others that made them just need to send a message about it.

echopapa posted:New Cheapskate Live! in which Lemon from the F Plus Podcast joins me to watch “Apaches,” a weird British farm safety film from the 70s. That...wasn't very good. I remember watching safety videos as a child and they'd usually be a cartoon or something, and stop someone just as they were about to do something dangerous to say "No! don't stick a fork in the toaster!" or whatever. This video simultaneously was too gruesome for small children, but at the same time not obvious enough, because it doesn't tell them what they're seeing or what to avoid. With children you really have to be pretty obvious about why something is bad and not to do it or how to do it safely - so I'm very confused as to why someone thought this video was a good idea...?

British PSAs would much rather scare the poo poo out of kids (or anyone really) than educate them. I remember even in college going to a sort of "teach them about driving safely" sort of thing, and even in the teachers talked afterwards about how it was mostly horror stories to try and make us cry.

Honestly, that is the most pathetic thing I ever read in all of Sonichu. Also, as an aside, does Chris-Chan have issues understanding the concept of death and mourning? The whole thing with Ms. Jackson, and then the poo poo that happens in CWC Defense really makes me wonder if Chris-Chan understands grieving.

To be fair, it doesn't make any sense in English whenever they decide to actually speak "English". First time I watched the episode where everyone is talking Engrish I had to go find some subs to put into the video, because the translation team was certain there was no need for subtitles since they were speaking English.

If I had to determine with one question if someone had grown up with similar pop culture experiences to mine, I think "Have you ever heard of Apollo Smile?" would probably be what I use. That was a very weird, VERY short time.

I remember seeing one from the 1980s (presented by Peter Purves of Blue Peter fame) warning children about the dangers of playing near railway lines. The protagonist is an aspiring football and at the end has to have both feet amputated because of injuries sustained when he's hit by a train, and also ends up looking like a cross between Davros and the Milky Bar Kid. The best one I can recall seeing (on one of those "best advertisements of all time" things) was The Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water from 1973, where Donald Pleasence plays this hooded personification of Death-by-Drowning stalking these kids who get into difficulties and die ("The pool is deep. The boy is showing off... The bank is slippery.... It was great because Donald Pleasance, obviously, had one of those brilliant and seemingly naturally menacing voices.

Speaking of British PSAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM359MvejK8 a segment on them by a Canadian internet column called This Exists Been watching his stuff recently - his show was orphaned by the online host for his segments, and now he's going it alone. Canadian dude with a pop-culture commentary, show, and the segments have been pretty interesting so far.

Hey, it didn't six weeks to do another Animorphs video this time. It's #46 The Deception, where we meet the crappiest Visser and a bunch of sailors sit around nonchalant while World War III goes on around them. Elsewhere, GoingRampant looked at a book called Chicken Nuggets: The Raptor Apocalypse, a zombie apocalypse tale, only instead of zombies, they're mutated chickens made to look like Jurassic Park Velociraptors. This book is somehow not a comedy.

I really have no data to speak to if this is somehow more effective or whatever. The really scary stuff makes sense for adults or jaded teenagers, but it's not much good for young children because they probably can't properly put two and two together, and it doesn't offer them much of a solution. I mean what's the solution to everyone dying in Apaches? Don't live on a farm? Well they don't have much choice in that. Don't play? Kids are gonna play. There's nothing that teaches them how to play safely, or avoid dangerous equipment properly or take precautions or anything. It's just rubbish at *being* a PSA. Wrageowrapper posted:New Zealand do some of best PSAs Ok New Zealand wins the PSA game. All we've got is this. Although that was a super effective PSA. I am far too young to have seen this when it was airing, and watching it years later I can't help laughing when all the people get knocked over and fly into the air ridiculously quickly and rigidly.
