The visual comedy one is probably his weakest one, yeah. It does do a good job at expressing why a lot of modern American comedy feels like it does though. His video on Buster Keaton is really good at explaining how he made some really amazing visual gags work.

Yeah I'm gonna go with this. It's a dumb fanservice show and out of all the ones you could've picked why this one? I'd say there are dozens, even hundreds of creepy fanservice anime around that you could point at and wonder how the hell they ever got greenlit . There's Love-Ru for example where the teacher is an actual pedophile and it's played off for laughs. There's even an incest focused one that somehow, someway was popular enough to garner a full season and 11 goddamn OVAS.



It's a dumb, mediocre anime that people have asked SFDebris to review because they want him to parrot their opinion that it has merit. It's like if I asked a game reviewer to review Marlow Briggs as an actual game instead of as a cheesy hack & slash that's only fun because it's like a video game version of a b-movie.

"Zog" is also a neo-nazi term meaning "Zionist Occupation Government"

I think the Marvel movies' success comes from how a lot of bad comics succeed, where the idea of a scene is way more interesting than what's really presented but your imagination pulls you through it.

At least in the circles I tend to frequent, the popularity has little to do with the action sequences, and more to do with the fact that the MCU has appealingly written characters. At least, when it's not being done by Whedon, who doesn't seem to understand characterization at all.

I think you're on to something with the "cool idea" hypothesis. Thinking back, it seems like a lot of action sequences are more "this would look neat, have someone do that" and rely on dialog/quips to distinguish the characters.

My immediate regret is not making the video twice as long and citing dozens more directors and films, but I'm trying to keep my videos from ballooning out into long lectures that lose sight of my overall point and/or jokes. You know, like my posting does.

Honestly, I'd be down for long lecture videos in cases like this, but then I'm usually down for long lectures because I'm a goddam nerd. I can def. respect the preference to keep it smaller for a general audience, tho.

Capitalism is inherently unfair to people who can't work anyway. I'm not saying everyone is morally obligated to send Spoony money, but it'd suck if he had nothing while he's going through all this. I really hope he can get the help he needs.

And by pure scheduling coincidence, I've just posted my review of the sequel book to The War Games, "Timewyrm: Exodus" by Terrance Dicks.

I came to the thread to add in the part where he's making GBS threads on his "socialist white bro" reporting of Brazil despite being on a position where he could be disappeared if Temer bothers to pay his police at some point, but I didn't notice Todd In the Shadows going "Ethics in Journalism much?!" at him as well.

Nope. I'm just the weirdo who likes the song. Not so much the band as a whole, but I've liked the song for a long time and I have no idea why. It just stuck with me for some reason. Especially while living in a cardboard box. :buddy:

Odd question, but has MovieBob's accent gotten more pronounced in his last few videos? Maybe I just don't follow him enough to notice. But when I was watching his X-Men videos, I kept wondering who the hell "Doc Phoenix" was.
