boom boom boom posted:Probably because they're busy making their terrible movie. HEY! Space Cop will be this generation's most important examination of racial politics ever to grace any screen. It will have depth and meaning on so many levels, it will take thousands of blog posts just to begin to scratch the surface. The casting of a white actor to place Space Cop himself is just the first brushstroke upon an infinite canvas of subtle satire that, frankly, you just aren't capable of comprehending. Space Cop.

Miss Wallace posted:Eddie Kramer is a masterful failure of a human being. While it's not a great thing to think about, I think I've realised how Eddie must have gotten his job. If Captain Thorpe knew about Eddie dropping out of high school but didn't care, maybe Eddie got the job by giving Captain Thorpe sexual favours. Nooooooooo Shauni's identical sister confused the hell out of me. I love that you thought Eddie was Hobie, haha.

lornekates posted:Remember way-back-when-- TNG was still on the air. There would always be commercials where you could sign up for a subscription service. They'd send you, like, two episodes of TNG every month. It'd be something like $20 per tape, and they'd only send you a tape every month or so. VHS used to be insane back in the day. You could order the opening mini-series of the Transformers or GIJoe cartoons (5 22 minute episodes) for the low, low price of $40. It gets better when you adjust that number for inflation, then it comes to 87 dollars in today's money.

Hey Kyle, do you have an ETA on when the BHH on Blue is gonna be on Youtube? There's a thread on another forum where I want to link the review, but Blip is so close to shutting down it seems kind of pointless to make a link that's going to be invalid in a little over a week.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:It's like people don't E: Don't think I am dissing RLM, Brad, Simon R. and others who start out as low/no-budget filmmakers. I wish them well but I don't want to see their films. I'm only interested in their criticism and commentaries. That's my personal slant. Some people like to consume everything a producer does it's just I'm not one of them and I get a bit grumpy when there is less content I like. To be fair, RLM have a great work ethic and consistent output so I don't begrudge them doing other stuff because they are really solid when they do produce the criticism/commentaries.  \/ \/ \/ Fair point and I would feel restricted if I could work in only one way.

You may not care, but it's where their passions lie. Their on-the-side internet review stuff blew up, but they're still primarily amateur filmmakers.

I was the worst kid because I wanted to follow DBZ but my mom wouldn't get cable, so she instead bought the VHS tapes. They were like 3 episodes at most for 30 bucks. I don't even want to imagine the cost after it was all said and done.

...and the only reason we know about the films of RLM/Brad/James etc. is we were on some chat board somewhere and someone posted a link to a funny review video they did. We followed the link and watched their other videos and found out their back story. I want to know one person here who first saw The Grabowskis or Brad's exploitation films or AVGN movie and then discovered they were critics. My point is that these critics only have even modest audiences for their films is the popularity they got from reviewing. I know fans can be petulant whiny manchildren and demand more of the same forever - but they can also act as echochambers demanding skits become standalone videos and saying creators are born actors. They can pressure a creator to stay the same but also to move into other areas. Both staying and moving can be bad in terms of outcome. Personally, I like certain critics because they do a good job and I want to see more of that content. It is just my own situation but I know I will watch and re-watch Best of the Worst but I will never watch an RLM film.

e X posted:I just got to the last appearance of Captain Thorpe and I got a question: Aside from teh Hoff himself, which character stayed the longest on the show. From the ones we already know I mean. I know someone else said it, but Newmie and Hobie 2 are the ones who stay the longest with the Hoff. Newmie takes foreeeeeever to get a spot in the opening credits, and he eventually gets to have some subplots! Truly a wonderful time to be alive. I hope you're ready for toupee jokes and wacky mouse chases. On the flipside, there's one character named Skylar who is in the opening credits and only appears in 4 episodes, which I think is a record. And of those 4 episodes, I only remember her saying like one line. The chick was a Playboy actress they added and...clearly it didn't work out.

Infamous Sphere posted:Alison, now's the time to get into home brew. Nah, I'll put it out in book form, rake in the cash! Seriously though, I got mad respect for anyone who can get out there and make their own movie, regardless of quality. It's a ton of work and takes a lot of passion to complete for not a huge audience, so you have to do it because you love it. I would do it just to have my name on something like that that I created, and if it found an audience that would be a nice bonus.

Yahtzee's sci-fi novel is almost infinitely more valuable to him as a work, accomplishment and milestone of his career than any of his reviews, and in fact, reviewers should be pursuing non-review pursuits and accomplishments, because we've already seen the bubble burst and leave a lot of folks in the lurch.

Nominating Theddie as their portmanteau couple name! Miss Wallace posted:Nah, I'll put it out in book form, rake in the cash! Another thing to consider is that most people are doing something else before they start internet reviewing. I'm a visual artist, and that's what most people know that I do in real life. I'd probably be a little annoyed if someone complained that I was spending too much time on my art or my studies and not enough time reviewing (although there's certainly no such concept as "infinite time", and studies/art/making a movie certainly takes up a fair whack of your hours.) And yeah, I appreciate almost anyone who went to the effort of making a movie - and if they hadn't, think of how much weird b movie amateur filmmaking we wouldn't have access to.

Leave the 3-5 years of "made goofy videos about movies online" off? Since this is sort of a weird job that not a lot of people off the internet get, I tend to say movie critic or comedian. Regardless of how I list it, it's a legitimate job that can and has led to other opportunities.

Remember that most jobs come from personal connections--like 85% or more. Meeting and knowing internet weirdos can take your life in all kinds of directions, especially if you're in the arts/ do creative stuff. You probably have at least one lunatic fan who's going to invent sentient AI or start the next netflix or something, and they'll for sure recognize you if you go out for a job. Plus I guess it's good for artists/filmmakers to stick together and collaborate?

I like that you may need to wait for over a month just so you can have approval to ask for loving approval to get training on the job you've been expected to do the entire time without any single thing to do it. That their video game stuff is a travesty and mess isn't a surprise though. They only care about like pachinko machines and health spas anyway. I wonder if they're better done; be hard to be any worse at least.
